Pulsar Gaming Gears - Xlite Wired (2021)

>This guy always doesn't recommend Pulsar mice That's just not true. The [Xlite](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-xlite/7.html) got the Editor's Choice award. The [Xlite Wireless](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-xlite-wireless/7.html), [Xlite v2](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-xlite-wireless-v2/4.html), and [Xlite v2 Mini](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-xlite-v2-mini-wireless/7.html) all got the Editor's Choice and Great Value awards (note that these were $80 or less, similar to Scyrox now). The [X2](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-x2/7.html), [X2 Mini](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-x2-mini/7.html), [X2 v2](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-x2v2/8.html), [X2H](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-x2h/9.html), and [Xlite v3](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/pulsar-xlite-v3/8.html) each received the Highly Recommended award (launch price for these was closer to $100). Only the last four Pulsar mice reviewed by pzogel didn't get any awards; keep in mind that these four all had some level of polling instability with a launch price of $130-180, while cheaper mice like the [DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/razer-deathadder-v3-hyperspeed/7.html) ($100) had no such issues. It's easy to see why Pulsar no longer stands out enough to warrant a recommendation as they've become pricier and less competitive.

I got the v1, v2 and v3. I'll skip this one.

The modern day clone for the Logitech G403 is the Pulsar X3. The Pulsar X3 has basically the shape but the G403 but is 55g, wireless, and includes modern day tech. It's $100. Go to EloShapes to see the shape difference. If you're your budget is <$65 and you want a big ergo mouse you can palm grip and u don't mind the wire, go with pulsar xelite wired on amazon. It's $50. If you do get the Xelite wired, know that it might not be long enough at a length of 122mm, so your fingers might hang off the ends of the mouse click buttons, but idk for sure. If you do decide to get a wired mouse make sure you have a mouse bungee. I recommend the Endgame Gear MB1 personally. But another cheaper option is the Glorious mouse bungee. And another option, idk a lot about it, the pulsar microbungee es. I've never tried it, but people say good things about it and it's only $7. If you still are unsure, go to X and use Grok AI. ChatGPT also works, but I feel like Grok is better. Ask it questions prompting it for things you want to know. Like $65 budget, want a shape like Logitech G403, I palm grip my mouse, I have large hands. List 5 mice I could buy and why. Reference reddit. That would be the prompt I use.

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 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.

Check out Pulsar Xlite series, excellent performance, good ergonomic shape, under 60g, Comes in 3 different sizes.

Hope i had this kinda luck with everything but never had a Deathadder fail on me (v2, v3, Pro). The V4 actually removes the mechanical scroll for an optical one, so the same scroll issue shouldn’t happen. If you like the shape but don’t want to drop 170 on Razer again, the Eweadn A5 Pro has the same shape. The Superlight 2 Dex does too, though it’s pricier. This year’s really been Pulsar’s, the Xlite series matches the shape and gets strong reviews

if you want an ergo more like the model d, i recommend the razer deathadder v3 (if you don't like that you could look at the pulsar xlite series or at zowie ec2)

I have pretty much the same grip style and hand size. I found out for me that while the ec shape like the xlite are very comfy, they're sometimes not great cause I can't micro adjust with my fingers. I now really like either lower humps like viper mini/finalmouse inspired or something with a back hump like the Sora 4k. Allthough I think the lower hump is nicer.

Appreciate it. I was trying to find some information on the new click implementation but couldn’t find any. Very disappointing because I really like the x2 and xlite shapes.

As someone who has had the DAV3 Pro and DEX, tried the NP-01s, Xlite and the EC2… For shape, it’s the DEX hands down. Build could be a little better for the price but shape is king/queen. Note: hands are 20.5 x 11cm and I use relaxed claw. I’ve also heard good things about the E1 but I can’t find a 3D scan of it anywhere.

I seen to aim best with the most uncomfortable ones like mz1/inca, most comfatble I think is like xlite but don't like it for aiming good for none fps games for me, hmm vxe shape I think is borderline between the 2 ai quite well and it isn't uncomfortable but don't like the clicks and wish it was just maybe 2mm thinner, know of any mice like that?

Any good ec clone, i think xlite or Dav3 are the best ergos in that aspect atm. Maybe something like the terra too (g703 clone) i have similarly sized hands and i enjoyed the g703 back in the day alot.

You can: Replace the switches (soldering iron + maybe 10 dollars on switches) Buy a new razer mouse (fuckass software and support. I wouldn't do this but that's because I hate razer as a company and don't want to give them my money) Buy a new mouse from a different brand (I like the Xlite lineup)

as an owner of g703 and DAv3, i think youll love the Dav3. my only dislike was that it uses synapse. Oh, and the dongle is annoyingly hard to plug the cable into sometimes because it has like a mineshaft inside of it unlike the pulsar dongles. If you find that you dislike it for whatever reason, pulsar has a pretty much EC clone and I loved my xlite for years before I got my dav3.

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.

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)

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

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.

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
