Pulsar Gaming Gears - X2 v2 Mini Gaming Mouse

I loved the scroll wheel on my old Pulsar x2v2 Mini. Felt so much better.

Surprised I haven't seen mention of pulsar until now. I have the x2v2 mini. Nice wireless transition from former razer viper mini.

Lamzu maya X and the Pulser X2V2 mini. the maya's shape actively pushed it into your hand, but that constant "locked in" grip makes it fatiguing to use in productivity scenarios at that requires you to constantly move your entire arm. I'm currently looking at buying a spare Maya X for future sake, the shape is perfect and I wanna have spares now in-case the Maya X disappears from the market.

X2V2 mini might be something worth looking at. Sure it's not the H, but it still has enough of a hump at the back for my hand.

Lot of closely similar options but really depends on what kind of hump you like or the placement of it… I’ve been down the rabbit hole and ended up with an X2V2 MINI, there’s a cheaper alternative with an identical shape the MCHOSE L7, good build $50 cheaper and good build. Other options are… XM2WE, OPM1, Lamzu Maya… Eloshapes.com helps compare shapes so you can see what you think you may like. I find the XM2WE a bit too wide for my hands yet I still found it very comfortable to hold and use, just wanted something more fine tuned to me. OPM1 I found was too thin on the sides for me, opposite of XM2. Both have incredible build quality and click feel. Maya I found the hump was too far forward for me and also too high. The MCHOSE and X2V2 mini was very low profile, light, and perfect width for me personally. I ended up liking these two the most and went as far to get a pulsar custom variant. Hope this helps! And good luck

If you want to stick with the shape and get an all around upgrade the mchose g3 is exactly what you want. Otherwise there are similar shapes like the aria xd7 and orochi. If we’re talking about different shapes than my recommendations for a budget would be the attack shark x3, pulsar x2v2 mini as the price has gone down dramatically and it’s still super solid, and the phylina s450. A little more expensive you can get the Sora v2, Lamzu Atlantis mini, Lamzu maya, or the Logitech g pro super light as it’s still a very solid mouse. My top 3 picks for you out of all those would be the mchose g3, x2v2, or the Atlantis mini

The best mouse is when it has a suitable form for you, I use x2v2 when it has a great form for me, rather than superlight when it’s too big for me

They have had some bad runs, but they fix stuff pretty quick. I think over time being a relatively fresh face in the market they will be solid off the mark. The Xlite V3 was, I have had a really hard time replacing it with anything because I enjoy it so much, its honestly killed my mouse hobby, and really hype about the X3, but yeah, worry about that first batch because my X2V2 had the squishy clicks I had to fix myself, then it was perfect.

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.

X2V2 might be something to explore if you’re wanting a wider grip width as it’s that, and pretty flat. Would say Vaxee XE as well, but it’s pretty heavy by today’s standards. LGG LA-1 is also another option to look at.

I always try to get people to not buy a Logitech mouse when they ask me which one they want. Thankfully, I got my friend’s brother to get a Pulsar X2V2 for like $46 at microcenter when he was originally thinking about a superlight, most people haven’t heard of anything past the popular brands of Logitech, Razer, Corsair, etc. That being said I like their nicer work mice, the Logitech lift has been my favorite general use/work mouse since I got it pretty much.

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.

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

I havent tried steelseries but razer is far away from trash. I also like mice and try different ones every now and then like the vaxee xe, gpx2, viper v2 pro, dav3, pulsar x2v2, and much more. I have had a razer basilisk for like what 5 years now? Maybe even more and it hasnt gave me one single problem. I have the death adder v2 mini for years and havent had a single problem. I main the viper v2 pro and its the most amazing mouse for me out of all the ones i tried and still have in my collection including the new gpx 2. If you have a problem with a mouse dont make it a general statement and push people away from it. Because just like you have a problem, many people have had none. That goes for almost all top brands.

You might have a better chance on r/mousereview Just know it's hard to help you with recommendations if you don't provide your hand size, grip style, and any other features you're looking for. But, since you're asking what we all use: (hand size 18x10) I mostly use a FinalMouse ULX Pro but will sometimes use my Pulsar X2V2. I have several other mice but those are my main 2 that I feel comfortable on as a relaxed claw/fingertip user. If it helps, I main Cass for DPS and Illari for Support. Best advice I can give is to block out all the bs jargon that people will try to sell you on. Shape is king. Other things like weight, clicks, sensors, etc. are important to an extent, but by far the shape and what's comfortable in your hand is the most important factor.

Depends on what you want. I want a relaxed claw mouse that is a little wide with at least a decent hump in the back for palm support since I have above average (in this sub) hands. It should have optical switches or hotswap so that it lasts. The clicks should be sharp, and have a good implementation so it feels connected. I need a good coating that's not slippery like cheaper Chinese mice and doesn't discolor like the GPX. I like a tactile scroll wheel and side buttons. I want a solid battery life so I don't have to recharge it often. I also don't want to overspend since good mice are cheap nowadays. I previously liked larger back hump mice like the MM711 and GPW, so I picked up a used X2V2 for cheap, and now it's my main. Sure I had to tweak it since the clicks were a bit sticky, but I also paid half of it's discounted retail price, and it's easy to repair, so I'm happy. Might look for an X2H for more support.

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

Pulsar QC has been a problem since their first product. I would wait for the upcoming new generation of products and see if they actually fix it this time. BTW if you didn’t realize, X2V2, X2H and Xlite V3 are all in the same generation and share the same click issues. “Completely revamped” is when compared to the last generation (X2 and Xlite V2).

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.

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’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.

I suggest poking around r/mousereview but considering you’ve used a Rival 3, I’m assuming you claw grip, I’d recommend looking at the Lamzu Atlantis/Atlantis Mini, either mouse shape offering from Endgame Gear, and maybe the Pulsar X2/X2 Mini. They’re all cheaper than the Superlight 2 and comparable in performance. Also can check eloshapes for similar shaped mice to your Rival 3: https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/find-similar?p=SteelSeries-Rival-3 Lastly, highly recommend checking out pzogel’s mouse reviews on techpowerup. *Edited for clarification

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

I have tried the x2 mini. But I feel like it’s not the best for claw grip users like me. Since I have longer fingers, I would like a taller mouse to avoid getting fatigued. See if you face this issue too. Then I’d suggest you to move to RVM. Altho you’ll lose the wireless functionality.

I have first batch xlite v2 regular and mini as well as x2 mini and x2-h mini and none of them have any creaking or sensor issues, even after few months of use. Makes me wonder am I just lucky or do people just literally gorilla grip their mice and throw them all over the room or something? Just seen this sort of hate towards Pulsar which feels a bit unjustified, especially when it also comes from people who have not tried their products. I bought recently x2-h mini just to find out if there's bad QC like everyone says, and I have zero issues. I do agree that they come up with revisions and "refresh" models a bit too quick where nothing seems to have changed. Going from V2 -> V3 is probably pretty big jump and I plan on at some point to buy Xlite V3 mini just to replace my current V2. Something Pulsar could improve on is weight balancing.

Since you’re looking for a smaller, lighter mouse for both productivity and gaming, I’d say you’re on the right track, but I’ve got a few recommendations based on your needs: \- Logi G305 – yeah, a bit dated now. The sensor is good but the weight (99g with AA battery) might feel a bit heavy compared to modern lightweight options. \- Razer Basilisk V3 X Hyperspeed – on the larger side. So if MX Master already feels big might not be the best fit. My recommendations: \- Razer Orochi V2. Super lightweight (60g without battery) and compact. No RGB tho. Great battery life \- Logitech G Pro X Superlight (If you find It on sale) \- Pulsar X2 Mini. Ultra-light (53g), wireless, and designed for small hands

I've super enjoyed the design as the grip fits perfectly for how i grab a mouse on the V34 and V35. It's the exact grips style of fingertipping a X2 Mini but much much better comfort grooves for an even more locked in feeling. The lower the weight gets the better it feels as that feeling if simply gliding your hand where it's needed is like nothing else I've experienced on a mouse even with the 35-40g mice I typically use. You'd be surprised how solidly built it is as well. I've had more creak on mice over 60g and full sized full shelled than I have felt in regular gameplay with the V35, it's surprisingly solid. Very excited for a full release as the shape and weight of that mouse for me are unmatched.

I am currently using the Pulsar X2 Mini and would like your opinion on it because I feel we have similar mouse preferences. I also mainly play Val/CS, prefer smaller mice, and I have been heavily considering switching to the Razer Viper Mini, just need some closing thoughts before dropping the X2.

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)

Pulsar mini is mg favorite, or mby op1we

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.

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.

Highly highly recommend a Pulsar x2 variant, competitive fortnite player

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.

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.

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.
