Pulsar has their blackfriday sale going on. Ive been loving their X3 crazylight.
I have the x3 crazylight. It might be the most comfortable mouse I have ever had.
If you are looking for a bigger mouse, the x3 cl only comes in mini size. I had terra for a long time and x3 cl for a super short time (they originally sold it as x3 and not mini, I returned mine when the size was smaller as I have large hands) Terra is a fantastic mouse, love mine. shape is basically g703, good claw for large hands fills the middle of the palm nicely. Big ass side buttons, crisp clicks. The only gripe I have with the mouse would probably be battery life, on 2k polling, it lasts about 2-3 day-ish They both have pretty similar if not the same shape overall, it really comes down to size.
X3 crazy light only comes in mini size
Also in the hunt for palm-able ergo. I am waiting for my VT3S gen 2 (same shape as Pro Max) after liking the VT3 gen 2. The latter is a bit bulky for my small hands while being the most comfortable. Here are a few alternatives you can also try: - EC2 clones: The long tail doesn't work for me. Many to choose from if it does for you. - G703: even bulkier. I tried the X3 mini which has flat buttons and is smaller. It gives you a lot more way more control like an ambi but it's not comfortable for me. - DEX: I only tried the 3D printed model shape. It feels grippier due to the narrow waist. I would try this next if VT3S is not working out for me. - OUTSET AX: also worth a shot as it's similar to VT3 with a narrower waist but a higher hump. It feels more controllable in my hands.
Weight. The crazy light mini is like 40% lighter or something
I have large hands (21x11) and can get away with small mice using a claw grip, but it definitely increases the rate at which my hands fatigue. Width is the main factor for me personally. At the end of the day, many top aimers even with small to medium hands use large mice and out perform others. So there’s no real evidence so to speak that smaller mice actually perform with higher speed or agility. MattyOW, the top aim trainer grinder, isn’t lacking agility as a medium handed dude on a large and 60g mouse compared to my ass finger tipping a CL mini at 45g. With that un mind, it really just comes down to preference and comfort.
You know. I like them a whole lot. They are bad about verbiage, so I will say it this way: if you're looking at a Crazylight model, you've found the right place. Otherwise, go look at the Crazylight version for whatever you're interested in shape-wise. X2 CL is a fav, X3 CL is a new fav, but I was really disappointed by one of my mice of theirs (a non-Crazylight) which turned out to use confusing verbiage about which switches it used, thus there is the problem. The best way to ensure you're getting the best of their product line, is to get the CL (X2 CL, X2H CL, XLITE CL, X3 CL). They're becoming more mainstream, they will be sold in Best Buy stores now, and I hope there are demo units, because it will give a lot of people all new exposure to our weird little niche and it will help some of us pick on a mouse because we can walk into a retail store and try out the shape. So big win on that. They're good enough that a major retailer like Best Buy worked out a deal to carry their gear, so IDK. We'll see where they go in the future, the switch verbiage thing irks me a little though and the above 3 referenced brands have nothing that irks me about. Well, Zowie, their black mice recently are fingerprint magnets with my DNA for some reason. Other than that, nothing lol. Here's one tidbit: Zowie is making a shape kit, which has demos of 14 or so of their shapes, which (probably for a hold) they'll ship to you, so you can select a mouse, then you ship back the kit to them. Isn't that awesome? That's super pro-consumer, and they are the kings of shape - almost every shape we discuss throughout this board to this day originally started out as a Zowie shape. Pretty cool IMO. EDIT: FWIW, I own 3 Pulsar mice (well, 4 technically counting a Gen 2 Xlite) and would rate 3/4 of them absolute Top 5 mice. The other 1 mouse I would rate as "I would let go of this", it just had mushy switches. Go figure.
Pulsar X3 Size 2, endgame for me 19x9 handsize for reverence with relaxed clawgrip
If you mean the small x2 cl big of change this mouse a lot smaller and have a nimble feel
I swap between the crazylight mini and an op1 v2. I find both really solid.
It's definitely not for everyone, my hands are roughly 21 - 9.5cm in size and i use a relaxed fingertip grip. I absolutely had some discomfort with the OP1 at first but then got used to it/slightly adjusted my grip with it. I find with the OP1 because it's so thin you get insane mobility out of it when just aiming by moving your fingers. It really is the best mouse I have used for micro adjustments. With the x2 crazy light I actually have the mini and the medium, I prefer the medium due to the length, I kinda like having the mouse touch the bottom of my palm when i contract my fingers when pulling down for something like a spray control in a FPS. The X2s are definitely more comfortable off the bat and i do tend to use them if im playing a casual game, browsing etc.
Same grip as you. I also find the maya x a little too big. Crazylight mini would be my recommendation.
