Xlite V3: Did Pulsar finally fix their issues? 

I was interested in getting a Pulsar mouse for a while. Until all the QC issues, it’s gonna take more than a one or two releases for me to trust them again.

its pretty uncommon to run into issues w the x2v2/h/v3 considering the amount of people that have made vids on it/have it on their top 5/3 list of 2023, obv theres a chance to experience a qc issue but theres not one mouse out there that doesnt have a few complaints from the superlights,zowies,vaxees to finalmouses, it would be impossible to have perfect qc, but as of 2023 pulsars def stepped it up and the fact that you can pick them up in store/amazon makes for easy returns/exchanges if that was the case so i would say youre def missing out bc every mouse company is technically a qc lottery

Yeah, their QC is not good. Never had issues with my endgame gear, razer, or logitech mice. But, my X2 mini flexes and occasionally double clicks. Great shape though, so I still use it.

true but those aren't as rampant as pulsar's qc. i'm still using my defective x2h mini and the clicks feels like it's sticking inside. i'd try the xlite since people said the qc is good but honestly i'd go with non pulsar now( it's my 3rd copy 😭)@@coolieee

⁠@@coolieeeehhh idk man… pulsar qc is definitely a level below the other brands. I have 4 pulsar mice (2 from the v2 line) and every single one has qc issues. I’ve also returned 2 v2’s bc they had issues straight out of the box. Most companies qc issues are little nitpick things that often times don’t effect you in game but my pulsar issues make them all borderline un useable. I’ve had bad luck with final mouse, g-wolves and razer but I have 2 GPX, 1 GPX2, 3 Lamzu and 2 Vaxee wireless that are pretty much flawless. The x2 and x2h shapes are god tier but even if you do win the qc lottery you’re still stuck with their AWFUL optical switches. By far the worst clicks I’ve ever used. Crunchy af, heavy and inconsistent. I wouldn’t recommend pulsar to anyone despite being a pulsar defender in the past. The v2 has officially made me give up for good on pulsar. $120-$130 for a 4k pulsar mouse is laughable

where did you get it for 54?!?!

Most pulsar mice don’t have cut outs…did you mean an xlite with no cut outs?

@@Santalnln They normally have cut-outs on the base

@@Santalnln Sorry, but I'm not sure that's accurate. Their flagship ambi models (X2H and X2V2) feature cut-outs on the base.

@@ActuallyJamesS that’s kind of reaching no?

That’s what i meant. I’m a fan of the shape when I tried it but I’m not a fan of cutouts at the bottom because it just screams QC issues and prone to dust spills that will affect the PCB. I clean my desk from month to month but having to worry about it is nerve wracking for me.

your settings stay on a mouse. how would other peoples PC effect this?

​@@DiamondLobbyReviewsparanoia

@@ZRay507 very true

X2V2 mini for me has random disconnects. Manifested after my local seller’s warrantee. Pulsar doesn’t do exchanges unless you buy from them.

I like lightweight mouses btw

Other mice that i like is wl mouse beast x

g502

Mine arrives in 3 days. How is your unit in terms of qc?

@@kokorocrunch6615 It works great. But I mainly use it at 2000 Hz. Above that I noticed no difference and it consumes battery fast.

Also the long awaited XM2W has piqued my interest, for a while now too.

Let us know how you liked the Thorn/Maya. Picking up an Xlite V3 Es to try to see if I like the shape

@@steve42069master just ordered an open box thorn, will let you know when i try it

Maya is a good shout for your hand size I would say. I have the Viper V3 and if you don't mind a heavier gaming mouse (because it uses AA/AAA battery), I can recommend that as well.

@@steve42069master Update, Thorn wasn't it for me. Liked the width of the front, compared to NP-01s which front tad narrow for me. Thorn too high profile and button height. Also skates were so zippy, did not have enough control in game even on control pad EM-C. Felt so light though. Went back to the NP-01s for shape/lower profile and more feet control/micro adjustments. Funny as I initially thought Vaxee default skates had slightly too much control. Combination of weight and skates from X2-H mini, has been my favorite so far. Although the X2-H hump was too bulbous and high profile for me. From latest news, think when NP-01 wireless, Sora 2, Sprime PM-1 could be next contenders.

Well I have Outset and Zowie EC3-CW. If you looking for quality mouse I suggest Vaxee, it's quality is far superior than Zowie's mices. Zowie was a premium mouse company back in the days, but when they started to make low weight mices quality isn''t the same anymore. My Zowie has sidewall flex and scrollwheel prroblem and rattle just in four monthes. Outset is like new after 3 years of use(I have wired version of it). But I must warn you that if you have hands smaller that 18cm it will be bulky for you.

Although shape wise is subjective

The battery is a lot bigger on the esports version compared to the standard V3. I assume due to having native 4k polling which kills battery life compared to 1k polling. It's still lighter than the Zowie EC2-CW and Vaxee Outset AX and basically the same weight as the DeathAdder V3 Pro.

@@hwi7114 can confirm. I have been using the DAV3 Pro for over 13 months. Just switched to the Xlite v3 ES and it's practically the same weight. I don't notice any difference. Just glad to purge myself of that Synapse software and have the ability to configure my mouse settings on the fly. I do switch between 1KHz polling during regular desktop use and then adjust to 4KHz polling for gaming.

@@the12gaugeshotty does it feel better then the dav3 pro? I am stuck between choosing which of the 2 i should take

@@mathijn285 I'm not going back to the DAV3 if that says anything. I definitely like the feel and finish of the v3 ES over the DAV3.

what issues did you have with your bruce lee and how long did it take for the issue to surface?

Are there any mice out there that can fit a 4K dongle inside it?

4K dongle is too big for onboard storage.

I didn't say those actual esport athletes has to use 4k polling rate guys, look out there, even they're still using their 'old' GPX/EC2 just fine. LAN player needs portability, and dongle storage is important. At least give the E-sport variant a carrying bag with a pocket for dongle is fine.

Objectively better for latency though and reduces skipping significantly

I’m buying this because it isn’t shaped like gps for little hands

@@Cooliewhistles .. Okie dokie.

Well you also have to factor in that Logitech also sponsors a good chunk of pros and (at least in the case of valorant) they aren’t allowed to be shown using other mice while under contract

@@Santalnln .. The "success" of the GPX has nothing to do with sponsorship like zero. If you can't play competitively with whatever device, sponsorship is meaningless.

@@DJaquithFL that’s definitely not true as plenty of companies, not just electronics, dish out money for people to market their shit products. Also I wouldn’t say “like zero” the sponsorship is probably more likely the reason behind its success considering that mouse has suffered from spin outs (and still does on some occasions) I mean it’s an okay mouse but in terms of innovation and internals and price it’s really lacking. The one benefit it has to its success aside from being shoved in your face is that it’s readily accessible for most people. I can go to 4 stores within 30 minutes and get a gpx today but I have to wait 7+ days for a pulsar, lamzu, etc.
