Which should you buy, G-Wolves HSK Pro or Roccat Burst Pro Air?
The G-Wolves HSK Pro suits competitive FPS players wanting the lowest possible wireless weight and small to medium hands using fingertip or claw grip, though it is the wrong buy for palm grip players with larger hands and anyone who wants RGB lighting. Buy the Roccat Burst Pro Air for ambidextrous claw and fingertip grip users and fans of honeycomb/vented mouse shells, though it is not built for palm grip users wanting an ergonomic shape and competitive players wanting 8000Hz+ polling. Our rating of the G-Wolves HSK Pro (8/10): one of the lightest wireless mice available from an established boutique brand, built specifically for fast, competitive FPS play. Our rating of the Roccat Burst Pro Air (8/10): A solid honeycomb wireless option, best chosen alongside the Kone Pro Air based purely on preferred grip shape.
