Xlite Wired (2021)

My setup currently is a vertical mouse Protoarc em11 nl for my work/non-gaming needs, and Pulsar Xlite v1 for games

>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.

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

I just got a pulsar xlite wired. Very happy with it.

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.

I’d take a look at the Pulsar Xlite Wired or X2 Wired. They’re great mice and only $50.

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.
