Pulsar Gaming Gears - Xlite CrazyLight Mini Gaming Mouse

18.8 x 9.4 cm. I rock a Xlite Crazylight from Pulsar. Small ergo just feels natural for my hands and I feel like it provides me a good balance with precision, stability, control and comfort. Battlefield is what I like to sweat at.

Might be good for those that still have an X3 and skipped the X4 ... plus its got the pulsar opticals now vs the raesha switches in previous versions. edit: I guess it depends on if different switches and being 11g lighter is worth $120+

The Xlite v4 mini was 52g while the medium was 54g. Its a super small number but I know at least 4 people that have the V4 and have had no QC issues at all. Complaints on how the raesha switches feel like poop but they do work. Mine had no QC issues either, I just hated the switches enough to sell it and move on. My crazylight also has no QC issues and the optical switches don't feel half bad.

I have to say i'm slightly disappointed by this, with the regular skates it's 9g lighter than the normal size1/mini Xlite V4 with the same skates... not particularly crazily lighter and i'm guessing some of that weight reduction is simply by putting a smaller battery in? The X2 crazylight was 14g lighter than it's regular size1/mini counterpart. When Pulsar put out a teaser video in may of the Xlite crazylight it had it on a scale weighing in at 39.9g but now on release its a few grams heavier. I guess the switches are better than the V4 so that's nice, would have also been nice though if they gave as many colour options as the X2cl. Seems worth picking up if you didn't have a mini Xlite and want one but possibly a pass if you already own a mini XV4.

If you told us the size of your hand it would be easier. But generally for palm something like an Pulsar Xlite would be a good choice because it comes in 3 sizes.

Similar age to you, use a computer all day every day pretty much. For me the lighter the mouse the better. Using a mouse as light as you can get has helped out a ton with hand and wrist pain. There aren't really any light 5 button mice I know of though, well at least ones that are really recommendable. I would say forget the 5 button and go with a Pulsar Crazylight mouse. If you want an ergo they have the xlite crazylight: [https://us.pulsar.gg/collections/xlite-series/products/xlite-crazylight-gaming-mouse?variant=52101621875055](https://us.pulsar.gg/collections/xlite-series/products/xlite-crazylight-gaming-mouse?variant=52101621875055) or also the X2 [https://us.pulsar.gg/collections/x2-series/products/x2-crazylight-gaming-mouse?variant=52101461934447](https://us.pulsar.gg/collections/x2-series/products/x2-crazylight-gaming-mouse?variant=52101461934447) . You will have to sacrifice some buttons and infinite scroll but personally I think these are overall good trades.

Pulsar XLite wired is my current fave after using a wired Model D for two ish years

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.

Right, but there are very unique charms about Vaxee that do make their products interesting. For cheap ergos I mean, Deathadder v3 Wired and you'd be in pretty good shape for $50. That's my take at least, I mained one for like 2-3 years and it worked out great. If you're willing to go wired you can even get a Pulsar X2 Wired or Pulsar Xlite Wired both are $50. That trio are probably the best budget mice I've tried. Now that I'm almost all wireless I can't go back, using a wired mouse feels so archaic. Vaxee is good but you are absolutely correct. In the budget category / $50 price range there are some top tier ergo shapes.

I was excited until I looked at the dimensions and saw they're using the Size 1 Xlite for this one, which I found too small for me.

based. OP1 and Pulsar Crazylight are absolute Ftip/Claw hybrid goats

The weight is perfect actually. Tried the pulsar crazylight and scyrox v6/v8 which are <40g. For games like valorant and cs2, the op1s weight gives better stability during microadjustments or holding angles. Replaced them with the bigger skates that came with it. Control is top notch. I keep debating bet. Superlight 2 vs the OP1. I have a fingertip/claw grip and the op1 gives me more confidence in game.

I feel like there's a much bigger difference in quality between those sorts of mice to Pulsar than there is between the Tenz or Crazylight and the $160 ones. Pulsar seems to have figured out the best scroll wheel while everything else is quite good when you still have zowie, logitech, vaxee, struggling. Especially the two recent vaxee mice they gave the recommended to, worse coating, weight, wheel, price, and even worse 14-day return period, 1-year warranty instead of 2 and you can see how unreliable that site can be. Worth the effort to try and maintain a semblance of objectivity.

Viper V3 Pro prob the most popular and mainstream mouse. GPX 1 and 2 still about equal with viper combined. Pulsar's two recent releases TenZ & Crazylight have some of the best overall quality and durability in the business. Unfortunately none of their other offerings so far include the pulsar opticals. But I do think the X2 mini or crazylight version might be what you want, smaller mouse you can reach the front area with very light clicks. x2h mini version if you want higher-hump at the back. Lamzu, waizowl, mchose are some of the more well-regarded value OEMs but the prices are rising so oftentimes now you can get some of the OG models for cheaper on ebay.

I weirdly use the exact same [mouse](https://i.imgur.com/TrSgupY.jpeg), mousepad, skates, and mouse grip (also working on tension management) so I felt compelled to reply. I saw you were considering the Pulsar Crazylight? I did try that mouse several months ago and [these were my thoughts on it](https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/1jloc7o/comment/mk5jums/?context=3). I basically think the Hitscan's hump makes it the better choice for this kind of grip where the X2CL felt lacking in support even though I don't use palm contact to grip my Hitscan like you. I wouldn't recommend the X2CL personally. >is too much of my wrist/thumb/palm sitting on the pad and creating drag/friction I've been thinking about getting an arm sleeve for this reason.

Great review and I echo everything you said about it. It’s very similar to the Pulsar Crazylight which I have been using for the last few months, in both size and weight, and I was using that daily until I got the Sabre V2. I have installed the included grip tape as it was a little slippery, and it’s now my perfect mouse.

What’s your hand size? Lamzu Maya X, g pro x superlight 1, pulsar x2v3, pulsar crazylight, xm2w, op1 8k or op1w 4k. There’s a good amount of options on Amazon for under $150. There’s also the Lamzu Maya smaller sized and Mchose A7

Pulsar Crazylight with Artisan Raiden Mid, just got the Wallhack SP-004 but am still getting used to it. Grandmaster Groot, Magneto, and Mr Fantastic

Totally agree as a large hander, also consider very small normal mice, I comfortably fingertip the Pulsar Crazylight, Beast X, Zowpin Z1, and more without ever touching the humps.

I have 21cm length hands and have to fingertip grip most mice. I have all the small mice like the HSK Pro, HTR, Darmodhark M5, OP1 and more. I can BARELY claw my G403 with my fingers almost hanging off the front of the mouse, so even though we have large hands I think it’s best we use small mice with FLAT SIDES. Or at least flatish. The curves really get in the way of the thumb imo. I recently got the pulsar crazylight and adore it for fingertip. It has nice flat sides, and enough height and length for my thumb. It also has a lack of a “hip” in the back which is nice. As a bonus it’s also 35g. I also have the Beast X Mini otw and think I will like that one but can’t say yet Also the other guy is right I cut out blanks of supergrips to fit any mouse I use, helps a lot with fingertip grip.

Vouch for this. If they could push the budget the pulsar crazylight is better imo.

try the pulsar crazylight. i think they’re pretty similar. great mice.

Game: Strinova 🧡🧵. Love this game and wish more would try. Mice: WLMouse Beast X 8k and Sword X, Pulsar Crazylight. Skates: Odsidian Air Pro Donuts / Unusual Way Sports Silver Fox. Pads: Tekkusai The Guardian, GlssWrks Kazemi (waiting on next limited 💜).

But is not even close to being the best mouse especially for it’s price. Even the scyrox v6 is better than the super light imo for a lot less. MayaX and viper v3 pro are goated mice last year and for 2025 i think pulsar crazylight and endgame xm2w are the way to go.

I have all or most of the mice mentioned in your post, and similarly have had issues finding a mouse that had a right side that felt normal. The XM2w caused my hand to cramp (even tho I played awesome with it lol) The E1 is the best overall mouse I've ever used imho. The shape is second to none in my opinion. I have the ec2-dw, the pulsar super light size 1 & 2ES) and many other ergos that aren't nearly as comfy. The cons to the E1 are - the buttons have a specific bounce/spring to them, so there is a tiny bit of rattle if you slam your mouse often - the scroll wheel is fine - the side buttons have a bit of a corner to them, (I just sand it down) I'm currently switching between the E1, the Viper V3, the Zowie S2-dw Oh, and the Sora is an awesome mouse with a great shape. It's god a cool internal structure that was fun to mod and get the weight super low. I missed having the curved finger grooves (so I added my own) but overall it's an awesome mouse that I mained for months before I got into ergos. The pulsar super light is awesome, but had specific curves (along the right side and front) where I never felt 100% comfy. I have the v3ES and the v3 size 1, and both were a bit off for me. And I also didn't love the raesha optical switches.... Best scroll wheels tho! The XM2w is certainly the best built mouse of these three. If there was a version that didn't have such an aggressive inward curve along the right side I would likely be maining this mouse. That and I wish it had finger grooves... It's so solid tho... My personal rankings: 1. E1 2. Sora 3. Xlite (does the v4 still use Raesha optical switches??) 4. XM2w (but if you like the shape, its potentially #1)

It feels like Pulsar pumps out a new mouse every week at this point. Their mice are decent overall, but I really wish they would get around to improving their click and build quality. I find it hard to go back to my Xlite ever since I tried out the Outset Ax and EC2-CW.

I have the exact same problem and most mice I've used so far caused me actual pain on my hand/wrist lol So far the x2h mini is the only "safe" mice I own. Ones I tested and can't use: any gpro based shape, Lamzhu Thorn, Pulsar xlite, any ulx based shape (causes less pain compared to the others but still far from comfortable). I'm looking into getting an op1 as it should be even flatter than the x2h at the front, at least when looking screenshots and 2d shape.

Viper v3 pro is my current favorite symmetrical shape, but if you were interested in trying ergos I’ve been using a pulsar xlite for a while now and it just melts perfectly into my hand. My current favorite ec2 clone

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.

I'd say the vaxxee e1 but that still might be a bit too wide. Try the Xlite, QC is a hit and miss maybe you get lucky. Remember the smaller the mice, the better you aim

you basically drew an op1 and VAXEE xe/xe-s. consider those or an ergonomic mouse like the vaxee e1, ec2/3-dw, or pulsar xlite. even the VAXEE np-01s might be the best shape for you, based on the issues described. it has more ring and pinky support than any non-ergo mouse I've used and you can easily be agile with it and have a flexible grip, while having more support for the thumb and ring/pinky fingers.

Have similar hands and loved the viper ultimate, just bought a pulsar Xlite. The v2 is $55 right now

I was in the same boat. The viper v2 pro is the successor with the same shape but I saw a ton of people saying the scroll wheel breaks easily. The Zowie FK is the classic for that shape but pretty expensive. I was recommended the pulsar Xlite by a friend and it’s a different shape but made for bigger hands so I decided to try it. I can let you know how I like it 🙂

Honestly I'm amazed at how my Pulsar xlite is.. was 50$ and using it years later no issues. It's the perfect mouse for me

I used to do that with my G502 and now I have a 60g xlite and an 80g zowie plugged in, I play better on either of them

Pulsar mini is mg favorite, or mby op1we
