The HyperX Haste 2 Core Black is the black version of the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Core Wireless, part number 8R2E6AA. It keeps the symmetrical Haste 2 shape but swaps the built-in rechargeable cell for a single AAA battery, which brings the price down and means the mouse never stops for a charging break. HyperX rates it at up to 100 hours over the 2.4GHz dongle and up to 200 hours over Bluetooth 5.2, with an operating weight of 70 g. Inside are the HyperX Core sensor at up to 12,000 DPI and TTC Gold main switches.

Black for a dark, competitive setup
Most gaming desks are built around a black case, a black keyboard and a dark mouse pad, and the HyperX Haste 2 Core Black disappears into that kind of setup. The matte black shell hides the shine and wear that build up on the main buttons after months of play much better than a white mouse does, and it does not show the grey marks a light shell collects from a cloth pad. When you switch on the RGB lighting it stands out clearly against the dark body of the HyperX Haste 2 Core Black; when you turn it off to save battery, the mouse looks plain and understated, which also suits an office.
Battery life and when to swap the AAA
The 100-hour figure comes from HyperX testing over 2.4GHz with continuous use, lighting off, 1,000Hz polling and an AAA alkaline battery. The 200-hour Bluetooth figure uses the same conditions but at a 250Hz polling rate, which is fine for a laptop or office work but not for competitive games. Leave the RGB on and the HyperX Haste 2 Core Black will need a fresh battery sooner. Because the HyperX Haste 2 Core Black uses a standard user-replaceable AAA, an empty battery is a quick swap instead of a cable on the desk, and rechargeable AAA cells are an option. HyperX lists only the mouse and a quick start guide in the box and does not say a battery is included, so keep a spare AAA ready.
HyperX Core sensor and TTC Gold switches
The HyperX Core sensor in the HyperX Haste 2 Core Black reaches up to 12,000 DPI with 300 IPS tracking speed and 35G acceleration, and polls at up to 1,000Hz. Four DPI presets come ready to use: 400, 800, 1,600 and 3,200. Most shooter players sit between 400 and 1,600 DPI, so the sensor’s consistency matters more than its ceiling. The left and right buttons use TTC Gold switches rated for 20 million clicks. HyperX also lists the mouse as NVIDIA Reflex validated, which lets compatible G-SYNC displays report system latency.
Shape, weight and dimensions
HyperX gives the dimensions as 124.3 mm long, 66.8 mm wide and 38.2 mm high, in a symmetrical shape that suits claw, palm and fingertip grips for most hand sizes. It weighs 0.13 lb without the battery and 0.15 lb with it, which HyperX rounds to a 70 g operating weight. That makes the HyperX Haste 2 Core Black light enough for fast flicks in shooters, though heavier than the rechargeable Haste 2 Pro. Six buttons cover left, right, wheel click, two side buttons and DPI, and settings save to one onboard profile.
NGENUITY software and platforms
With HyperX NGENUITY on a PC you can reassign the buttons, record macros, set DPI levels, change the polling rate and adjust the RGB lighting on the HyperX Haste 2 Core Black. HyperX lists compatibility with PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5 and PS4; on consoles the mouse works in games that support mouse input. Because it has both a 2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth 5.2, you can keep the dongle in your gaming PC and pair the same mouse with a laptop over Bluetooth for work.
Who This Is Not For
The HyperX Haste 2 Core Black is not for anyone who wants a rechargeable mouse with a USB-C cable: it runs only on AAA batteries. Players chasing 4,000Hz or 8,000Hz polling should look higher in the range, since this model tops out at 1,000Hz, and Bluetooth battery figures are measured at only 250Hz. There is a single onboard profile, and at 70 g with the battery it is heavier than the lightest esports mice.
