Pulsar Gaming Gears - X2 CrazyLight Medium

Won this from the Pulsar giveaway 3 months ago and never had the chance to post a review about it due to holidays and work. Thanks to u/PulsarDylan for hosting the giveaway and providing ease of support through the Chat. Disclaimer: I'm no expert on mouse tech or providing detailed reviews, so this review will be short hopefully. I am just a competitive shooter player that loves to try mice shapes and other engineering aspects of gaming mice. Hand size: 17.79 x 8.89cm with hybrid relaxed/aggressive claw and fingertip grip **Shape:** This is my favorite part of the mouse. The shape overall is flat and wide. It is perfect IMO. The mouse button has grooves where I can comfortably place my fingers. I love how the side walls are straight with no weird curves like other mice I've tried, it only flares out a little bit out at the back. The side wall heights gave perfect space for my pinky and ring finger placement so there's no unnecessary gaps. The hump is low at the middle but the back slope curve still provides excellent support to my palm for claw grip and it doesn't get in the way when I shift to fingertip. **Coating:** Grippy, smooth, dry matte finish. The CrazyLight was the first mouse ever that I did NOT need any grip tapes at all. I applied grip tapes to all the mice I've owned. I have very dry hands and I often have to moisturize, but when picking this mouse up after showers or washing my hands which leads to dry hands-- i had zero issue gripping it. I haven't seen any fingerprints or shines after heavy usage of this mouse, I assume it will come in the future but it's definitely a longer lasting coating than Razer's or Logitech's. **Battery:** This is the only flaw. It's 200mAH and lasts only few days for me at 1k Polling rate till it is almost time to charge again. I wouldn't ever play this on 8k because you'd be charging it about every 2 days or so, but also 8k is pointless for most consumers. **Feets:** Solid skates, glides smoothly and effortlessly. Comes with the full pads and not dots or corner skates. I don't see a reason to change these out of the box. **Scroll wheel:** Rubber wheel, very tactile clicks and steps, nothing too crazy. It gets abused pretty hard since I use it for Bhopping in Apex Legends and caused no interference during 1v1s or teamfights. **Sensor:** Right in the middle, perfect spot where my thumb and pinky aligns with it. No tracking issues, no drastic dpi deviations, no spin-outs, just feels like any other top-end sensors in the market currently. **Clicks:** Pulsar Optical Switches. Very crisp but also a little heavier on the side, regardless the tension is great. Pre-travel and post travel is very minimal. I can spam clicks on this without fatigue and I have no issues with click latency. **Side Buttons:** Very crisp and not mushy. No flaws here. **Summary:** Advertised 39g but measured to be 41g from my own testing-- this mouse provides insane quality build, but not enough to justify it being $130 USD. If this mouse ever goes on sale, I 200% recommend going for it. The shape is the best and one of the truly only mouse that fits my grip and hand size perfectly. The mouse itself is solid without any flexes or creaks. I own the mini version of this but IMO, the medium felt more comfortable on longer game hours. There really isn't anything wrong with this mouse at all, aside from the battery life. Not sure what else to review this mouse on, but feel free to ask questions and I'll gladly respond.

The xm2 is too wide with curves to fingtertip properly and the op1 MAY be too thin, I think the best for you to use is a pulsar x2 mini or a pulsar x2 medium sized.

If you want a smaller mouse you could just go for the superlight compact. I’d understand wanting a completely new mouse since you’ve been using it for so long. The pulsar x2 crazylight medium is a good choice, it’s shorter by a good amount, lower button height and it’s smaller than the GPX in every way but not by too much. If you want to go smaller then the x2 crazylight mini

So far the only "large" (feels more like medium-large) ambis that have piqued me are the HTM Plus (narrow side long long mouse), Susanto (GPXmini OP1 brainchild) and X2CL Medium (best "neutral" medium size mouse). Everything else is either too small or too stubby

In my testing playing cs2 the battery lasts around 4 days playing at 4k with motion sync on. I binded the profile change to the dpi button on the back so when I dont play I go back to 1k profile. Its not as good as others but It doesnt bother you too much. I guess the 10-15 grams difference is on the battery, but on the other hand the qc on the case is 10 out of 10. It is sturdier than logi and razer flagships

I dont understand the last sentence. I own gpro x, razer deathadder v4 pro and viper v3 pro and I had previous version of both, these are the ones I own from major brands and the x2 cl medium feels better in terms of qc and sensor precision. The case is way sturdier wheighing around 15 grams less. The only downside might be not having optical encoder, which to me its not a big deal since the only wheel that acted wonky was the viper v2 pro. I guess not having optical encoder makes it cheaper than the dave 4. We will see in a few months. But right out of the box it feels better than every other mice I own

I know what people claim cause I read all of that too. But maybe that was on old models? My crazylight medium doesnt feel floaty at all, the razers feel more floaty. Im playing on razer atlas glasspad. Its not optical but its a ttc gold encoder which people around here likes a lot. Its a good mouse, like I said we will see if my words stand in a few months, but I believe this one its worth a try.

Either try out the Vaxee x Sora 4k or the XM2w 4k. We have the similar hand sizes (18.5x10cm) and these two shapes feel so nice with most claw grip iterations (relaxed, aggressive, pincer). If the Lamzu Atlantis is too wide for you, then the Vaxee Sora or any X2 shape mice is a nicer choice since these are a tad bit smaller than the XM2w shape which is similar to the Atlantis. Try either the X2 medium crazylight, Mchose L7+, or the Vaxee x Sora 4k.

I have the exact same hand size, try the pulsar x2 crazylight medium. The rear hump makes it feel a lot longer than it is, and it is deceptively wide.

X2 crazy light or mchose l7

X2H crazy light or the superlight 2c

2c is a safe option also the x2 crazy light because it doesn't have a weird hump like the x2h

Razer cobra hyperspeed Op18k v2 X2 crazy light / mchose l7 if you want a budget x2 cl option. For mousepad what games do you play what is your preferred glide on a mousepad, speed, balance, control?

X2f is not good i recommend the Sora v2, vaxee x sora, fk2-dw, x2 crazy light, s2dw

Op1w 4k v2, S2-DW, np-01s v2, x2 cl for relaxed claw grip

Fk2-dw, x2 cl, superlight 2c, vaxee xe-s, op18k v2

Ec3-dw over pulsar xlite crazy light for me for op's hands I think the xlite cl will be good for his hands he might not like the extra size of the ec3-dw idk.

Definitely too big get something like the xlite crazy light, ec3-dw or ec2-dw

Try the pulsar x2 cl medium it's wider than the vxe/mad r

Dav3 hyperspeed and x2 cl medium size

The medium size is significantly larger than you think even though a small millimeter can make a difference

I know you’re supposed to measure from fingertip to wrist, but do you include your thumb when measuring width or just palm across fingers? Edit: thank you I’m 18.4 x 10, I main a crazy light x2 with a relaxed claw/Palm hybrid, big fan, definitely my favorite mouse. Also have a ULX Tarik ones using before that. Feinmann f01 is a good palm/ergo mouse at this hand size, but I did not like the relatively higher click height of m1/m2.

Ok, under $100 you have a lot of great options. If you aren’t afraid of Chinese clone mice (and you shouldn’t be), you can get literally any shape with an amazing sensor and switch implementation. With that said, My recommendation: Endgame gear. OP1 8k v2 is under 100 and is amazing. It is wired which if that’s a deal breaker, I’d get the OP1w 4k for $80 on amazon right now XM series for larger hands. Hitscan hyperlight is another can’t miss. Pulsar x2 crazy light has gone under $100. I think right now it’s 130. M chose mice are excellent knock offs L7 is basically a pulsar x2 K7 is a viper v3 clone If it were me, I would get an op1 or a viper V3 pro for like $130, or a super light 2c for also I think $130, you’d pay a bit of a premium, but if it’s a gift for your brother, he may not appreciate how cool the lower cost clone brands are and they just want with all the pros are using, and if you buy it off your Amazon and you have how much more no hassle return policy.

nah lighter is not always better since weight also adds stability. Easy to test on the X2 Crazylight vs X2 V3 ES Mini

Pulsar x2h mini or x2 crazylight since you say you also play fingertip. The low weight mice are worth a bit extra $.
