Gaming mice can climb into three-figure territory surprisingly quickly. HATOR’s newly launched Pulsar 4 Wireless goes in the other direction, promising a light 59g body, optical switches and plenty of flexibility for £34.99 in the UK.
HATOR is making a play for the sensible end of gaming
Ukrainian-founded gaming hardware company HATOR has expanded its UK range with the Pulsar 4 Wireless, following the earlier arrival of its Skyfall magnetic keyboard family. The obvious hook is the price. At an announced £34.99, this is a wireless gaming mouse that wants to offer more than a cheap sensor and a glowing logo.
At its heart sits the PixArt PAW3315 optical sensor, rated for up to 16,000 DPI and 35G acceleration. HATOR pairs it with its own collaboration switches, HATOR x TTC optical, rated for 100 million clicks. The company also specifies an up-to-1,000Hz polling rate and Motion Sync support.
Those numbers look promising for the asking price, but they are specifications rather than proof of tracking consistency, click feel or long-term durability. The PAW3315 is also not a flagship sensor. That distinction matters when comparing budget hardware with significantly more expensive competitive mice.
Three ways to connect, without the software headache?
The Pulsar 4 Wireless supports 2.4GHz wireless using the included dongle, Bluetooth 5.1 and wired USB. A 500mAh battery is rated for up to 110 hours of use, although lighting and connection mode can materially affect real-world runtime. HATOR says a full charge takes around 90 minutes.
There is some thoughtful package design here too. HATOR includes 100% PTFE glide feet and a replacement set, along with a detachable 1.8m paracord cable and a USB-A to USB-C adapter. Its textured sides and matte finish are intended to improve grip without increasing weight too much.
Configuration is available through a browser-based tool, with a separate Windows SyncHUB desktop app for those who prefer it. HATOR also describes a privacy-first approach to its software, although we have not independently audited those claims.
Would we spend £34.99 on one?
On paper, this is exactly the type of hardware that deserves attention. Affordability is not the same as cheapness, and the value of a gaming mouse depends on a lot more than how high its maximum DPI can be set. Comfort, sensor implementation, wireless reliability and click consistency would all need a proper hands-on assessment.
Our read: A compelling UK launch for gamers who want wireless flexibility without £100-plus pricing. The specs are sensible, the weight is competitive and the optional software route is interesting. A review sample would tell us far more than the launch release.
HATOR states that the Pulsar 4 Wireless is available through its official store. We could not verify a matching Amazon UK product listing, so no Amazon affiliate link is included.
