Pulsar Gaming Gears - X2 v2 Gaming Mouse

Pulsar X2V2 Medium, Razer Atlas.

I have a Pulsar X2 V2 in dark green. Nothing "gamer" about it. It's a nice color, no rgb.

a new shape with a reputable company is always interesting. i’m currently using a pulsar by you x2v2 medium and i love it. realized by using this and the razer viper v3 pro that i like claw grip the best. i bet this thing is a banger like the rest of the the pulsar mice

OP1 8K v2 is about $90 I think. That’s on the smaller side, and it’s well regarded as one of the best (if not categorically the best) mice for FPS. Even best mouse overall, it outperforms just about everything. Do you prefer symmetrical or ergonomic? The Razer Deathadder v3 is often on sale for $50-70, in my opinion it’s no slouch, it’s ergonomic. Much less of a performer as the OP1 but it is pretty decent. It’s large tho. If you’re interested in Pulsar their mini’s on the smaller size and I’ve seen some models (like x2 v2) on Amazon marked down to $70-90. Those will be wireless and are good. Pulsar also has an XLite (ergo) or X2 (wired) for $50, those are awesome choices IMO.

I use a Gravastar M1 Pro and a Pulsar X2V2 Founders. Both are technically 4k gaming options but the Grav is a lot heavier. Both are probably a bit worse overall for productivity than a master, but they can get the job done as needed.

Right now I am loving the Pulsar X2V2. I have somewhat large hands (21x11) and I notice i'm holding it more relaxed and more fingertip style. compared to the viper v2 pro I also still really like the viper and I'm switching them out a little. If I can teach myself to hold it as relaxed as the Pulsar without creeping forward on the mouse during gameplay I would prefer it.

I have a very similar hand size. Finding a true palm grip is going to be tough, so it's better to go for a fingertip esque grip For me the Pulsar x2v2 has been doing wonders. due to the width and flat sides. having said that there is a teevolution tera on the way to try. and i'll be checking in here soon to see what else might be recommended.

Pulsar X2V2 or X2 mini. Both are fantastic, personally the V2 feels better if you have bigger hands.

pulsar x2v2, razer deathadder v2 and an attackshark mouse that i dont rememebr the model of because it broke within the return window.

Pulsar x2v2, razer deathadder v2 and an attackshark, x3 i think? pulsar died to a sensor inconsistency issue, deathadder died to both the encoder and side buttons breaking, and the attackshark didnt even make it outside of the refund window before the encoder started bugging out.

the pulsar x2 v2? thats the mouse i had break. i did fix the encoder myself but what killed the mouse was the sensor shitting out and being inconsistent.

Nah liking heavier mice is not an unpopular opinion, it's just not as many people wanting to go for heavier mice now which shows in the consumer mouse market. It's the same for monitors where it used to be CRT monitor which phased into TN panels which then phased into IPS panels for preference and now OLEDs. I started with the 229g G602 about 10 years ago to end up with mice under 60g like Pulsar X2v2, Deathadder v3H, and Viper v3 Pro.

Pulsar X2V2, less than $100, right around 50g which is not the lightest but still pretty light, all around high quality mouse imo, still has two thumb buttons, and you can choose to go wired or wireless, comes with both.

I picked up my first Pulsar mouse earlier this year (X2v2) and I love it.

I used to play with microsoft wheel mouse optical 1.1 (which is the original sensor that PWNs sensors are on every mouses now and the intellimouse same sensor is what inspired the deathadder shape) and that sensor was FLAWLESS, no feeling of acceleration, parasite firmware messing up the aim until you play hundreds of hours to get used to, so flawless you could just pick up the mouse and litteraly shred. The sensor was pointed to the front of the mouse which fit my gripstyle perfectly and keep my crosshair headlevel at all time without even having to think about it. Fast forward to 2024 i wanted to get back in competitive but felt that even 1k hz was too low nowadays. I bought every possible mice hoping to get the same feel; Zowie fk2 / Zowie fk2-DW / Pulsar x2v2 / Pulsar x2 Crazylight / Razer deathadder / glorious o, and NONE felt like that perfection i was used to until i bought the Superlight 2. They really nailed the sensor, no bs accel, or "aditives" just as they mention on their packaging. It felt like i was back in my competitive days and all the muscle memory kicked in. The shape personally is just what i need aswell, not too bulky but enough of a back hump to fit in my palm to stabilise my horizontal mouse movements. I am absolutely satisfied with this mouse and even have a 2nd one just in case the one i'm using right now breaks. I don't care about all those "don't be mainstream" comments i see about the mouse just because it's logitech. But for me they built something that no other mouse manufacturer could. This mouse is just perfect.

>This guy always doesn't recommend Pulsar mice That's just not true. The [Xlite](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-xlite/7.html) got the Editor's Choice award. The [Xlite Wireless](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-xlite-wireless/7.html), [Xlite v2](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-xlite-wireless-v2/4.html), and [Xlite v2 Mini](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-xlite-v2-mini-wireless/7.html) all got the Editor's Choice and Great Value awards (note that these were $80 or less, similar to Scyrox now). The [X2](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-x2/7.html), [X2 Mini](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-x2-mini/7.html), [X2 v2](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-x2v2/8.html), [X2H](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-x2h/9.html), and [Xlite v3](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-xlite-v3/8.html) each received the Highly Recommended award (launch price for these was closer to $100). Only the last four Pulsar mice reviewed by pzogel didn't get any awards; keep in mind that these four all had some level of polling instability with a launch price of $130-180, while cheaper mice like the [DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/razer-deathadder-v3-hyperspeed/7.html) ($100) had no such issues. It's easy to see why Pulsar no longer stands out enough to warrant a recommendation as they've become pricier and less competitive.

Kind of surprised I hardly ever see my favorite on posts like this lol Ive had a Pulsar X2V2 for nearly two years now and will probably never leave Pulsar

so the xm2we is the essentials version of the wireless, so it has optical switches, but they're quite heavy so requires more force to click, not a lot like but it feels significant, the xm2w 4k uses the kailh gx switches for the lowest latency spdt switches if you want to look it up, they feel awesome but I have felt sometimes they click a bit too fast the only thing that I've found to have a bigger hump is a za zowie mouse but the only one thats wireless is the za13, if it was the 11 i would have no need for another mouse as for artisan, the type99 is THE control pad, its so easy to control your aim for me, the zero is basically a qck just a better version of it, like much better, so slightly faster, I prefer the control of the type99 what I will say is for the past few days I've been falling in love with my pulsar x2v2 again and I have ordered the tenz collab mouse as it looks to tick all the boxes I want in a mouse (21x11cm hands for reference)

Make it 3k php and you'll get the best one. Razer Basilisk V3. There are some that sell for 2.1-2.4k but make sure you check if they are legit. This guy called u/ProwlerCaboose made this following list a Year ago I got a list of cheap but solid mice. * VXE R1 A solid copy of the X2V2 mouse from Pulsar that is suitable for pretty much all grip types at a solid 30$ * Zaopin Z1 Pro is more of a traditional Egg shape that works very well for relaxed claw but is overall a larger mouse might work for you but might not, usually 30$ * VGN Dragonfly F1 is more of an original shape with a larger rear hump and shorter front end more 40$. * Attack Shark X3 has a solid shape like a smaller GPX and fairly solid feel, you can find it for like 20$ (Now has 4k) * Kysona M600 is pretty much the same as the Attack Shark with slightly higher quality for like 35$ * Machose A5 is much the same, a smaller GPX but more of an exact GPX shape like 30$. * Delux M800 and M600 are both Viper clones, the M600 is the smaller one. Good for kinda all control types like 40$ * Puretrak Valor usually on sale for like 35$ is a direct GPX clone * Phlyina S450 is a HTS+ clone that's usually like 40$, pretty solid for claw grip overall a good mouse that has surprisingly good quality. (Now in 4k!) * Ajazz has a ton of mice at different styles that are very solid. Some more GPX, some more like the S450, and many others for mostly 30$. * Darmoshark makes solid mice that are their own kinda shape that are very solid for like 50-80$ * Keychron M2 and their other models are extremely high quality mice from a good keyboard company with it's own original shape 50$ * Attackshark R1/Metapanda01 is a near copy of the Deathadder Mini for 20/40$ Nearly every mouse on this list uses a 3395 Sensor and are about 50g in terms of weight. Performance will be mostly the same across all of them, and most all of them are solid and cheap. All prices are in USD. For you specifically a GPX, Atlantis Mini and X2V2 also are within that budget Edit: spelling

All endgamegear mice, newer pulsar mice (x2v2/xlite v3 and newer) razer viper v3 pro (for big/medium hands), arbiter studios akitsu (really good quality but expensive and only for small/medium hands), all vaxee/zowie mice

I think you have a lot of options in that grip style, and I’d just go with something you enjoy. I can pincer my x2v2 and sl2 easily. I’d say the x2v2 is the most agile of those followed by the sl2. My xm2 has too much back hump/width and fills the palm more consequently even tho it’s shorter than an sl2. Since my hand is about 5-10% bigger than yours I’d probably guess the x2v2 or something similarly low profile and around 120mm length would be nice

I have a similar sized hand, and even the Size 2 fits it well. 

You have the same grip as me. Relaxed claw grip on the mouse and almost identical hand shape as me. I’m an 18x9. I would probably recommend something like a pulsar x2v2 or an X2H mini. If you want to go a little bit smaller you could also do an X2 Crazylight but that size is a little too small for my liking. I’m bias toward pulsar lol but I love their mouses

It is an x2v2 it is great and it doesnt have the famous double clicking issue that occurs usually with the x2. I might upgrade to the x3

I'm just mildly miffed that they didn't put the Ultra in the store on release day... I'm sure the difference between sensors is indiscernible but the fact that I could have gotten a 3950 for $4 more than a 3395 irks me. That being said I really like the L7. Perfect mouse for me. Makes the X2V2 feel heavy even though it's only a 13g difference. Skates are kinda meh though, that's my only gripe. But that's easily fixed with some aftermarket skates.

I use the Pulsar X2V2 mouse. Made for larger than normal hands (that's what the box said) But it works fantastically.

I’ve been using Pulsar mice since the original X2 and the Xlite v3 was finally a mouse where quality was good enough that I could recommend to others. X2 V1 had double clicking issues, even on later batches. Rather than fix that and allow buyers to RMA, they released a V2 instead that people had to re-buy. X2H had the worst clicks of any mouse I’ve ever tried. They then finally released a good mouse in the Xlite V3 but at this point, I’ve just gone for the OP1w 4K and won’t be buying from Pulsar again.

For a medium-sized, symmetrical wireless with good battery life under $120, I’d look at the Logitech G Pro X Superlight (if you find it on sale) or the Pulsar X2. Both are great for claw grip and popular for FPS. If you want something cheaper, the Logitech G305 is still solid and lasts forever on a single battery. All come in black too.

My hand size and grip are almost the same as yours and the pulsar x2 shape fits me very well.

I just got rid of my g305 this week. After 5 long years the double click finally hit me. My Pulsar x2 was delivered on Thursday and played all day, and a little bit yesterday. Feels a little bit shorter than the 305, and a slightly wider base, but overall similar shape, and feels much better in my hand for the fingertip grip. Materials and buttons also feel much better, but it is $100. Definitely haven't used it enough to say "buy this" but of the combined 10-12 hours I've used it, its a massive upgrade.

I almost pulled the trigger buying one but cancelled the order because of the sketchy software. How is the tracking on it? Is it consistent? When I made loops in MS paint with the attack shark x3, the sensor would skip. My pulsar x2, logitech lift, and even seenda e3 don't do that.

I love the X2 but has the battery life gotten better with the newer ones editions? since I have to recharge mine almost daily.

Pulsar always has issues with gen 1 versions of all of their products. Xlite, X2, X2A, X2H, all had quality control issues. If you like the X3, wait for the X3V2.

They do make a ton of mice like that. You need to look for mice that are specifically made for claw grip. Pulsar X2 or X2H is like that. Endgame gear OP1 or XM2 are also like that. Sora v1 , or Vaxee X Sora are also like that. I'm sure there plenty more that I can't think of from the top of my head. The hour glass gives your fingers better leverage to really handle the mouse but yea, if your hands are too big or small for the mouse, it can cause issues. I honestly would say the Logitech GPX has a very very subtle hour glass, that it will probably feel pretty flat on the sides for you, it's one of the safest first mice for a reason. Asus harpe ace if I remember correctly is also pretty flat on the sides, it's shaped like a Logitech GPX but just longer.

i went from zowie fk2 to pulsar x2 i love simple

Shape is king, so knowing what he likes makes it easy. Even the cheap chinese clones these days are excellent as long as you don't mind the non-existent customer service. They used to be a joke but things like the VXE R1 or Zaopin Z1 Pro frankly go toe to toe with the Pulsar X2 and Orochi that they're cloned from. Then you can spend the difference in price on a nice pad or enough dot skates to last you the rest of your life.

Lamzu maya for me. Before i used 2 mouse (pulsar x2 and steelseries rival 3) Pulsar is for fps games, idk why but that shape just does wonders for my aim. Rival 3 is for dota etc. Again idk why lol Now i use lamzu maya for both.

Contrary to what you'd naturally expect, bigger hands don't necessitate a bigger mouse. It would be great if it was that straight forward, but your preferred mouse is largely determined by your grip style/finger placement and overall aim technique/how you manipulate the mouse. For instance, my hands are 21.5 x 11.5 CM and to this day after owning various mice, I main the Xtrfy MZ1 Wireless. For reference I fingertip grip (as most large handed FPS players tend to) or if I use something like the Pulsar X2 or X2H (my second and third favourite mice) I can finger tip or MCP claw them comfortably. My advice is to try more shapes (not necessarily sizes) in general. Some small mice are too small, but those same sized mice with a different shape can make all the difference. Hope that helps

Are you sure you are using fingertip and palm grip hybrid? You probably are mistaking palm for relaxed claw grip. And you are probably cramping due to size of g305 if this is the case. There are people with relaxed claw + fingertip hybrid grip including me. Mice that works for me have almost flat sides like pulsar x2 or x2h(medium or mini), gpx, or op18k.

People that recommend the Viper Mini either havent tried it themselves or dont know better, that cable is stiff, thick so its not even compatible with mouse bungees I wouldn't subject a friend to that. The minimum I'd pay for a wired mouse with an actually good cable is around 2k for the Wired Razer and Pulsar options (Razer Deathadder V3 and Pulsar X2/X2H/Xlite Wired) and max at 3k-4k for the 8k options from Endgame Gear with good wired cables as well (OP1 8k and XM2 8k) at 1k the only reasonable option is VXE R1, whatever version you can get (avoid pro max, switches suck)

I love the Pulsar X2 series mice. Not sure about "best you can buy", but they're great, especially after the v3 rework. If they release a red X2H v3, ohhhhhhh, god, hold my wallet. You can also get the non-v3 models online for quite cheap. They do have some QC issues, but who doesn't nowadays? Pretty sure their customer support is fine and would help.

Quick thoughts as a certified Pulsar X2 shape enjoyer: * They keep insisting on putting the ridges around the skates. These are annoying as fuck on hard pads. IYKYK. * Anything other than an on/off switch on the bottom is a waste of weight. That's just my opinion, of course.

Highly highly recommend a Pulsar x2 variant, competitive fortnite player

Something like the pulser x2 should be comfortable
