>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.
Ive went from 83g wired g pro hero (g102 shape) to xlite v1, xtrfy m8, beast x mini, maya x, and now pulsar x2v2, I think 50g to 60g is the sweet spot whilst 40g and below is overkill. The difference between 55g to 80g is actually quite noticeable.
As for wireless vs wired. As long as your fine modding wired mice with better thinner cables and ur setup is clean enough for no interference wired, its not that big of a difference imo.
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.
