"Pulsar Xlite v3 is far and away my favorite at the moment. ... It’s essentially an Ec2 clone ... It’s nearly identical to the Ec2 shape ... as far as ergo goes, yes - that and the g pro dex are my favorite."
"I have really large hands and the only mouse I've found comfy lately with an RSI is the Pulsar Xlite V3 Large. ... It's bigger than the EC1, and most other large mice you'll see recommended here."

I have huge hands, so the best i found for me is the Rog Spatha X. I also have a Xlite V3 Large which is lighter but the Rog fits my hand better, with the thumb and pinky rest Maybe there's another one, I haven't found yet
r/MouseReview • Whats the best FPS mouse in your opinion and why ? ->502 is a big mouse, but maybe you want something where the hump is a little taller and more so in the middle. Ec1-dw or Xlite large v3 or 4, ec1 will be slightly taller and more forward and the xlite is similar but a good amount taller. Keep an eye on that Razer vertical mouse they announced maybe. Eloshapes to help compare
r/MouseReview • Largest yet Lightest Gaming Mouse? G502 is still too small. Carpal Tunnel pain. ->I have a similar grip and the same size hands, have tried many many different shapes and the bigger ergos are most comfortable for me. Its possible to go too big for gaming though; I like to have the ability to still drag down a bit within my palm. Mice similar to the ec2 shape/size are safe for me. I like the vaxee outset ax a lot. Xlite large is comfortable but I cant drag it within my palm much. Have a rapoo vt3 gen 2 on the way that I'm hoping will be my main. There are a good amount of options that could work; Lamzu Thorn is another I liked for a while
r/MouseReview • Best mouse for this grip (knuckle claw) - 19.5x9.5 hands ->Similar to my size. I use Pulsar Xlite V3 LARGE and it fits perfect.
r/pcmasterrace • Help for a mouse that fits my hand ->I have really large hands and the only mouse I've found comfy lately with an RSI is the Pulsar Xlite V3 Large. It's bigger than the EC1, and most other large mice you'll see recommended here.
r/MouseReview • Largest yet Lightest Gaming Mouse? G502 is still too small. Carpal Tunnel pain. ->best is subjective, its between deathadder v3 pro/wired, hyperspeed(mini), superlight dex, ec2-dw, pulsar xlite v3/4, and maybe even np-01s. it depends on your handsize and gripstyle
r/cs2 • What is the best ergo mouse for CS2? ->you could either trying curling your index and middle finger or get a longer mouse, such as an fk1 or fk1+, or a big ergo mouse like deathadder v3, ec1, or pulsar xlite v3 large.
r/MouseReview • Hand too big to rest palm on mouse ->Editing in text form of the review... **Text form if you don't care to watch the video:** I was excited to try the Pulsar XLite v4 because I have been using the v3 in Large for about a year now. Other EC alternatives I tried deteriorated in quality, or weren't close enough to the EC/weren't doing anything interesting shapewise for me to try (DAv3 Pro was my main and the scroll wheel exploded) **I was looking forward to**: new clicks, new build, new bottom plate/skate design. Of these things, they made the clicks worse, the build much better, and kept the same trash bottom plate and skates. **Clicks**: The raeshas were a complaint of last gen but they were snappy, kept their snappiness over a year, but were just too light. Furthermore, they slam click, so a low sens player like myself is prone to accidentally shooting/right clicking, which can lose you fights/rounds/games in something like tac fps. The new clicks (Kailh opticals) are heavier, but just awful. Inconsistent feeling on RMB and LMB, mushy, not snappy. These are an L and a genuine downgrade from last gen. The only good thing is that they implemented a slam click filter, which every competitor (Lamzu) can push a firmware update for, but Pulsar needs to release a new $100 "next gen" mouse to do so. Lazy. Also my left click started squeaking literally mid review video. **Build**: My XLite v3 Large creaked in 1 month of use. I don't really care about creaking as it doesn't affect in game performance but it more so shows you the level of attention to detail from the production process of the company. It's fixed from an initial impression with the v4. It was solid and squeezing didn't even force any creakage. Will it stand the test of time? I don't know (spoiler: because I'm returning my copy). Kudos to them here. **Base/Skates**: The base of the Pulsar series is trash. The reason is that it has an outlining plastic ridge around the skates for the skates to line up. Sound familiar? Logitech GPX does the same. How does the GPX sound on soft/xsoft pads? Nails on a chalkboard (see clip in video). Same thing here, good thing I fell in love with mid firmness pads. Using the exact same skates/base that have known issues feels lazy. Likely to prevent new molds/production costs. Should go for bigger skates that most people like as Razer did. **Old 4k Dongle vs. New 8k Dongle**: This is the most frustrating part of this mouse. It isn't compatible with the old 4k dongle and you have to get the new 8k dongle to get access to higher polling rates. I'm personally of the opinion that higher polling rates don't matter unless you need that competitive edge/assurance, but if you're going to market/flaunt 4k and 8k on the box, you better include that dongle in the box. Furthermore, how are we 1 generation of sensor tech from the 4k dongle and it isn't compatible? Razer's Hyperpolling dongle is literally compatible across 3 generations of sensors (DAv3 HyperSpeed 26k, DAv3 Pro 30k, Viper V3 Pro 35k). I don't give a shit if there is a real technical reason as to why the old 4k dongle can't pair to the new 3950 mice, in that case it's bad design and if there is no real technical reason then this is forced obsolescence. **edit per /u/pzogel comment below, this is due to making a new in house firmware vs an older compx solution. So a technical reason exists, however, it is quite a pain to the customer. He makes much more technical reviews than I do, so check his posts/reviews if you haven't before** **Conclusion**: Pulsar spend money sponsoring VCT Pacific and certain teams (ironically, most of these players will not be seen with Pulsar mice on stage) instead of bring their mice up to par with competitors. I'm always weary of products/brands that overspend on marketing (think Honey), so I make sure to really see if their product development matches their marketing. In the case of Pulsar, it doesn't. Their previous v3 model suffered from slam clicks, and they never pushed a firmware update whereas Lamzu did so immediately. They are forcing 3950 mice users to buy new high polling rate dongles instead of updating the old one to pair to new mice (see edit above). What's even worse is that during the making of this video, [Pulsar is now teasing their own proprietary switch with just the caption 2025 on Twitter, when I was literally mocking them in the video that they would release a v5 next year with fixed clicks for another $100.](https://x.com/PulsarGears/status/1873671656809664652) It's clear to see that Pulsar give f\* all about the quality of their releases and just want to push a new $100 product to you. I know many are hype for the X3 and will be ordering it, but for those that are a fan of their other mice, I urge you to find alternative brands that actually care about the consumer.
r/MouseReview • Pulsar XLite v4 Full Review (Why I think you shouldn't support Pulsar atm) ->Yes I still use my v3 and outlined all my desired changes in the review...
r/MouseReview • Pulsar XLite v4 Full Review (Why I think you shouldn't support Pulsar atm) ->I don't know exactly what you are talking about with your mouse grip, but I full palm my mice and have have 19x10 hands too. I found the DAV3 great for the hand filling shape and the thorn was surprisingly still quite comfortable to palm grip despite its smaller size (I think this is attributed to the larger hump?). Can't speak on the others based on QC, but they are pretty similar shapes I think. If I had to choose I would personally go for the Pulsar Xlite V3 large just because Pulsar is doing a sale on their old stock.
r/MouseReview • 19cmx10cm palm hybrid looking for solid competitive gaming mouse recommendations ->My hands are 19x10, and the Pulsar Xlite v3 Large is just a tad bit too big for me. Might be the perfect size for you.
r/MouseReview • I feel like every single mice is too small ->i had a razer death adder v3 pro, i really liked it. then i gave it to my friend and decided to get a pulsar xlite v3 large, i like it even more
r/pcmasterrace • The 25 most recommended gaming mouse according to Reddit (in the past year as of Jun 2025) ->https://preview.redd.it/hmotjkcr9eef1.jpeg?width=2252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b715b7bf7d3197064e2b106317a3a21b859e803a Hey everyone, I decided to go with the spatha x as it fits my hand nicely. I appreciate everyone's help and suggestions! The corsair ironclaw was a close second, as it was just too narrow where my fingers rest. The g502x was TINY! The MX master 3s was also very small at the front. The pulsar xlite v3 large feels really good in my hand, but wasn't big enough still. The mx ergo was the one that fit my entire hand, however not usable for gaming. I would keep it for my productivity/work. The scimitar was nice and wide, just tiny. What was interesting about it is that the clear plastic that ships with it in the box to hold it in place was a PERFECT fit! I think I'll keep it to try to make a mold and eventually 3d print it. The darmoshark just fit weirdly for me.
