Ok so I ended up buying both and will decide in couple weeks which to return but here are my initial impressions: \- the Pulsar X2A has amazing built quality - I like the overall build and material better than logitech. \- I ended with a deal on the X2A es, so no pulsar software available but XMouse tool can do the side buttons \- On the X2A, I can only assign the buttons on each side separately - they are symmetrical on each side \- the G Pro 2 is the closest thing to my Sensei ten, I am able to assign all side buttons like my Sensei Ten 🥳 \- so far I prefer the wheel on the G Pro 2, the wheel is very solid on the X2A but it is a bit stiffer

Oh man... so this is a lot more complicated than I thought... Still don't have a definitive answer. I am planning on testing them until the amazon return date. Here are few things I noticed so far: \- Clicks on the X2A are more firm than the logitech, you need to change a bit your hand posture a bit to accomodate \- Same goes with the X2A shape, it is very slightly different from what I'm used to. It is subtle, like the position of the buttons and where you need to have your fingers to click. \- Wheel on the X2A is also more firm but feels more precise - originally it did bother me, but I slowly adjusting to it \- The G Pro 2 feels "transparent", it is very much the shape and everything I'm used to \- Skates on the X2A are significantly better, it's effortless to move it around and glorious in high DPI Overall, I am unsure yet which one is better or not. I bought both of these mouses as "Used" on amazon, the deals were so good, I am potentially keeping both. The logitech had definitely a little bit of use but both are so good quality, I wouldn't hesitate to buy these second hand. Even the shell quality is excellent, can be actually cleaned. The X2A plastic, is premium, there are no marks of any sorts.

It might be a bit pedantic, but I don't know how "on the fly" it is to have to stop using the mouse, turn it over, and then fumble through a potential series of button presses/wheel scrolling to dial in a desired change. I do love my Pulsar X2A eS, but if I want to change the DPI "on the fly", it can be a lot less convenient to swap to a different DPI than it is the standard X2A, which because that version supports driver software, I can rebind any of the buttons/wheel to do that job to actually change DPI on the fly. the Pulsar eS mice are great for being able to tune in and trust the settings to work at a desired performance level on any computer the mouse is plugged into, and then be able to tweak as needed, but I would consider it mostly a set and forget kind of deal rather than something I would want to actively be fiddling with on the regular

I second this! Great recommendations. Owned all 3 as a left hander, but settled on the X2A v3 ES from Pulsar. The Mini equivalent is indeed very small in the hands.

This is my review of the flick shot one pro which dropped I think 2 weeks ago and the shell itself was 76$ and 100$ with shipping to US it took only 4 days to get from Germany to California which is insanely fast. You do have to buy a VXE mad r to get the pcb but that’s not a problem for me First impression : packaging was nice it came in a pouch with all needed screws and components, after taking out the pcb of the VXE mad r major and installed it the mouse felt amazing , the grip is nice , the the clicks and the click tensioning system is amazing and basically removes all pre travel and post travel , the scroll wheel fits perfectly in the cut out and I had no issues with LOD and tracking. Customization: the mouse features ajustable side buttons and mouse button tensioning systems which features a spring on the 2 main button and 2 sets of hooks which lets you adjust the tension and for the mouse buttons there’s a slide bar where you can change pre and post travel on the side buttons as well One week later after using it and I ordered extra springs for the mouse buttons just in case and the mouse feels even better and it’s extremely light and I’d say the clicks are better than the final mouse ULX final mouse feather clicks and it’s very light Cons : only cons I’ve had problems with is that there’s no extra parts since I tend to lose things easily but I honestly have nothing bad to say about it . Mods : I added sapphire skates , put 2 of the flick shot dot skates on the blocks that press the switch to virtually give it 0 pre and post travel which is amazing and I switching it out for my man mouse which was the pulsar x2a es and pulsar x3 LHD since they feel so bad compared to this mice and another thing is the mouse wheel click is so much lighter than the pulsar mice I have and makes the pulsar mice feel so heavy and weird since I switched to the F1P Patrick who is the creator of flick-shot was so helpful in his discord and made everything so much easier for me since I messed up one of the springs for the tensioning system he helped me get a replacement , w Patrick

https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=flickshot-one-pro-medium-lhd-vs.-finalmouse-ultralightx-competition-medium It’s the medium size , Shape is nice and flat sides were something I overlooked but when I felt them I couldn’t go back to my pulsar X2A es or x3 lhd it’s such a simple change but I really love it the jump is perfect for me as I play claw. Like you said w the x3 being bulky I felt that too with mine so I only use it when just browsing or homework.

I think there is no medium size in left handed version, if you check pulsar site. Ive just ordered from here, if you are from Europe. [https://www.proshop.de/?s=pulsar+x3+lhd](https://www.proshop.de/?s=pulsar+x3+lhd) Im using currently the X2A in medium size, and if compare the dimensions, the X3 mini is slightly bigger

Pulsar X2A and X2A mini. I think they also make lefty versions of some of their mice too.

Edit: thought you meant fingertip only mice nevermind. Gwolves might have some of the worst customer service out there. But the HSK (and HSK2), Fenrir Pro, and Fenrir Asym are the perfect shape and size for small, medium, and large hands respectively. There are a few other fingertip-only mice Gwolves makes, however they're a lot more niche and obscure so you'll instantly buy them no questions asked or go "huh!?!?!?" The second you look at them. The software is meh, not as atrocious as Razer/Logi/Steelseries/Corsair/HyperX software, but also not as good as the new ASUS browser software (ASUS has had a glow-up from the worst of the worst software, to a brand new browser software that's actually better than Lamzu and Pulsar software). The build quality is really good though, so fortunately the terrible customer service is usually avoided. The owner/creator/founder is a mad-man. Good at making amazing and innovative mice, but at the expense of social decency unfortunately. If you want a Gwolves alternative, you have: WLmouse Miao. Pulsar X2F (wait until V3, V1 has sensor issues, V2 is ok but significantly heavier than it needs to be). Lamzu fingertip-mouse (unreleased, doesn't have a name, it's Lamzu so it'll be goated but damn it feels like we'll get GTA 6 before a new Lamzu release). Kysona Uranus Pro (it's a bit tall for my liking, and a fullsize, but damn it's an amazing fingertip mouse and it's insanely cheap like just buy one and take a hacksaw to it and you're good in all honesty, I'm even currently procrastinating on making custom 3D printed shells for it cause it's so cheap but so amazing despite being cheaper than the budget hello-kitty mouse from my local stationary store). If you want more info, here is a YT video and channel who is specifically a tiny fingertip mouse aficionado: [https://youtu.be/c8ojtzn9H-8?si=n7znAoeI8WyVuOxb](https://youtu.be/c8ojtzn9H-8?si=n7znAoeI8WyVuOxb)

Zaopin Z1 ARYE RCC1 Pulsar X2 crazy-light (non-medium) Lamzu Maya (non-X) and Atlantis Mini. There are also a few Gwolves mice which fill this niche too. Kysona Uranus Pro (honestly it's the most universal shape I've ever held, and the most goated shape I've ever held, I bought it cause it was cheap, easy to disassemble, and has a surprisingly good PCB that's also very compact, and then I never took it apart cause damn it's actually the goat and has no right being as insanely universally good as it is).
