HyperX wants you to 3D print custom shells for an all-new wireless gaming mouse — expanding its Pulsefire range at CES 2025

If you have unique preferences when it comes to choosing a gaming mouse in your preferred color, the process can sometimes be challenging or even impossible. To address this issue, HyperX introduces two new models to its Pulsefire lineup at CES 2025 in Las Vegas: the Pulsefire Saga and Saga Pro. The term “shape modularity” might sound technical, but it simply refers to interchangeable parts on these customizable mice from HyperX. However, there’s a twist – this customization option is unlike anything else available.

Opting for either the wired “Saga” priced at $79.99 or the wireless “Saga Pro” costing $119.99 when they launch in March this year comes with eight detachable components in the package, as well as links to download free 3D printing blueprint files from printables.com. For those skilled enough, players can manufacture their own unique shells and chassis parts for their mouse in any color, pattern, or style they prefer – ever dreamt of having a Windows Central mouse? Make it yourself using a 3D printer!

Both HyperX mice are engineered for swiftness and precision, which is a common assertion for gaming mice, yet they stand out due to HyperX’s optical switches that promise quicker reaction times than mechanical switches. Moreover, the wired Saga offers 8,000Hz polling rate, while the wireless Saga Pro provides 4,000Hz polling rate. Both models utilize a 26K sensor. Compared to our top-rated Alienware Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse, the Saga Pro maintains the same performance level but at a more budget-friendly price, in accordance with HyperX’s commitment to affordable technology.

We’re thrilled to share the 3D file with you at no cost! We can’t wait to witness the fascinating shapes and designs our community will come up with.

3D printing technology in gaming hasn’t surpassed Alienware’s capabilities just yet, but if there’s enough enthusiasm among gamers, it certainly could. The cost of this hobby has been steadily decreasing each month, making the idea of printing custom plastic shells for your gaming mouse less implausible than before. Fortunately, users can create 16 distinct combinations using the two included shells, button covers, and side buttons right out of the box, so owning a 3D printer isn’t strictly necessary.

Should you have both the wealth and the inclination to invest in a metal 3D printer, it opens up an imaginative possibility of creating a custom Saga Pro shell embellished with your personal touch, be it your name or emblem. However, I don’t advocate for this purchase, but it could intrigue a creative individual who has an abundance of spare funds. A unique stainless steel mouse might even catch my eye.

If you were to acquire such a 3D printer and combine it with an HP OMEN gaming laptop, you would be presented with the option to forgo the standard 2.4GHz wireless dongle. Instead, you could take advantage of the built-in HyperX ‘Instant Pair’ technology, ensuring a seamless connection without the need for additional hardware.

‘Haste’ upgrades and a new budget ‘Fuse’

In addition to their latest Saga series, HyperX is broadening its Haste product lineup by launching a new wireless gaming mouse – the ambidextrous Pulsefire Fuse. This lightweight 75g mouse operates on a single AAA battery and aims for the budget market by eliminating the need for a USB cable, making it available at an MSRP under $50. Meanwhile, our cherished Haste 2 and Haste 2 Mini models have gained wireless counterparts in the Pulsefire Haste 2S and Haste 2 Pro, each coming with a detachable USB cable.

On the Haste 2 Pro mouse, a 4K polling rate offers about 30 hours of battery life, though reducing it to 1K polling rate can stretch the battery life up to an impressive 90 hours if needed. The Saga Pro and Haste 2 Pro both offer One-Touch Instant Pair with compatible HP OMEN laptops, allowing you the convenience of potentially leaving the dongle behind. HyperX’s ‘NGENUITY’ app enables personalized RGB effects and customizable macros on this mouse, but it’s not mandatory to install the app for regular usage.

In summary, the Haste 2S is HyperX’s inaugural gaming mouse featuring a magnesium body with transparent buttons that expose additional magnesium components. It boasts pre-installed glass skates for the ultimate smoothness and precision sought by hardcore gamers. This durable mouse can last up to 120 hours on a single charge while operating at a polling rate of 1,000 Hz. If your current mouse is underperforming, the timeframe following CES 2025 will provide numerous alternatives from HyperX for you to consider.
