There are many gaming mice on the market these days, so it can be hard for a single model to stand out. I mean, look, there are only so many ways to make a mouse unique. And yet, today, HyperX launches such a product, and it is actually quite special.
Called "Pulsefire Dart," this looks like an ordinary wireless gaming mouse, but it has a pretty cool feature -- Qi charging. Yes, you can charge the mouse using one of those cool wireless charging mats -- the same ones used for Android devices and iPhones. In addition, it features RGB lighting, so you can customize the appearance to your liking.

Jennifer Ishii, mouse business manager, HyperX provides the following statement.
HyperX recognizes the growing trend of devices that support wireless charging and is extending its support to its users to offer more ways for them to charge their wireless products. HyperX is launching wireless products with Qi wireless charging compatibility, including the ChargePlay Base, enabling users to charge their Qi-enabled gaming products, mobile phones and other devices. The Pulesfire Dart is our first wireless Qi-compatible gaming mouse, with padded leatherette side grips.
The HyperX Pulsefire Dart wireless gaming mouse can be had here for $99.99. At this price, you do not get a charging mat -- just a USB cable for wired charging. If you don't want to use an existing Qi charger you own, you can opt for the HyperX ChargePlay Base, which can be had here for $59.99. That charging pad is actually quite cool, as it can simultaneously charge your smartphone.
