X2H Mini Gaming Mouse

I’ve only been using this mouse for a short time, but I’m already impressed. As the name implies, it is extremely lightweight, and the click quality feels significantly better than the Logitech Superlight series. After watching Optimum’s YouTube review comparing the Superlight 2c to the Crazylight, I decided to try both—and I believe the Crazylight outperforms the Logitech in nearly every aspect. While Optimum noted that the click latency is slightly lower on Logitech’s side, I personally haven’t noticed any real difference during gameplay. The performance feels responsive and precise. My only concern is long-term durability. My previous mouse, the Endgame Gear OP1 We, performed well initially but developed scroll wheel issues after about nine months. I’m hoping the Crazylight’s scroll wheel holds up better over time, because this is easily one of the best-feeling mice I’ve used in a while.

As my fourth Pulsar mouse purchase, I have to emphasize right off the bat: this thing is the real deal. It is every bit as good as the $250-$350 boutique mice we've seen in the last year. To start with, I'll give you my experience. My first experience with Pulsar was with their X2 Mini, which I found to be an outstanding mouse in almost all regards except in the sense that it for some reason "didn't feel totally right" in my hand (18x10cm for reference). I found that I never could really get a solid grip on it during fast-paced gaming moments for some reason, but never could put a finger on what it was. Fast forward a year and I hear about the X2H via Reddit and it suddenly all clicks in my head, 2001 "A Beautiful Mind" style. It was just missing a bit of weight and shape towards the back of the mouse! Immediately upon receiving my unit that theory was confirmed. This shape feels GREAT in the hand, to the point where I simply can't compare it to another shape on the market. It feels more solid, easier to control, and just all around a pleasure to use. Performance is also outstanding, especially when paired with the 4K Polling Dongle (sold separately for ~$20 at time of review). My testing consisted of multiple standardized movement tests using the MouseTester software at the following polling rates (in Hz): 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000. The results were sublime, as the connection was rock solid at suggested distance from the dongle (within 15") and even at my extreme test distance of 6' which included multiple other wireless devices between the dongle and mouse. No jitter, consistent latency, I couldn't have asked for better performance. In terms of clicks and buttons, the two primary clicks have a satisfying action that's on the firmer side (which I personally prefer). Side buttons are perfectly positioned and also provide a confident tactile acknowledgement when pressed. Which leads me to the only downside of the mouse, which might be subjective again as this is personal preference: For me personally, I find the scroll wheel action to be far too soft for my liking. I prefer a firm, consistent scroll step, especially for FPS gaming where you might be scrolling through weapons in a firefight. I found myself CONSTANTLY accidentally scrolling past the desired stop because the action was so light. Even after a few weeks of use, this is the only thing keeping the X2H Mini from being my go-to for gaming, which is a shame. Outside of gaming, however? This is what I'm rocking for work/browsing/etc. Such a great feeling mouse, just wish the scroll wheel was a bit stiffer. All in all, I highly recommend this to everyone considering it as it's an outstanding product. If you're fortunate enough to be in a position to go feel the shape before buying, go for it but be warned: your wallet is going to be $100 lighter when you leave.

Over the course of owning lots of different mice, I had finally found that I am mostly a finger tip hybrid claw mouser. You are getting a 4K Polling ready mouse, PAW3395 Sensor, Optical Switches in a 53g package for $99, its quite the value in this market. I just couldnt replicate the experience on many other mice that I had with my Orochi V2... that shape was just right for me but its a very heavy mouse and if you use AA batteries then its way too heavy. Pulsar is not really a new player in this space, however they are new enough that a lot of people may not take a risk at this price point. I was going back and forth about whether I wanted the Size 2 (Medium) or the Size 1 (Mini), but if you compare the Orochi V2 it has about the same wide waist, but has more contouring than the Orochi; this made for an excellent feel in hand. I think the mini even for large hand finger tip, this could be your end game mouse. I mean there are others out there, but price and availability can play a role. I can tell you that these are excellent mice. Great build quality, no creaking, no rattle. The coating is like a soft touch plastic with a great grip without additional grip tape. M1 and M2 are optical switches and they feel and sound great. Crispy and maybe a little firm, 100% easy to spam though. They will probably wear in with some more time, I only have maybe 10 hours of FPS on them right now, but I wouldn't mind if they stayed at the same crisp firmness either. M3 and M4 are nothing to write home about, they wont lose you any games. Light weight paracord cable with upward bias, so the cord wont drag on your mouse pad, dongle and some actually really nice PTFE Skates. Dont sleep on Pulsar!

I've been using the X2Hv3 for 3-4 months now, and so far it's been working pretty great. Tracking works well as expected, clicks feel sharp and responsive unlike some Logitech mice. I'd recommend looking into Endgame Gear's OP1 if you're interested in checking out multiple switch options, since that mouse lets you swap the switches out and is also generally regarded as a very competent product. Battery life is pretty good at 1KHz polling rate, averaging about 6 days to 1 week of consistent daily use before needing to top up the battery charge. Recharging is fast, only takes maybe 35 minutes to go from ~30% back to my 80% preferred charge, though this and the battery life may change as the battery wears down. 4/8KHz polling rate users should note that the battery drain rate will also be dramatically faster in comparison to 1KHz polling rate, so keep in mind the tradeoffs if that's you. Unfortunately, the mouse does NOT let you use higher polling rates in wired mode. Some other gaming mouses allow you to utilize higher polling rates in wired modes outside of using the separate 4/8KHz wireless dongles which is a huge boon, but the X2Hv3 from what I can tell does not have this functionality. I don't use the stock states and replaced them about 2 days in with the skates I use for my mousepad (Wallhack Dot skates), but they seemed decent enough when I did use them initially. The only nitpicks I have about the mouse so far, are that: - Pulsar's software (Pulsar Fusion) by default uses a non-zero debounce rate, which from what I can tell and heard from others has practically no effect on optical switches other than adding click delay. - When the mouse goes into "sleep" mode after the configured delay, the scroll wheel doesn't work anymore. Ideally just like left/right clicking or moving the mouse around which does wake it back up, scrolling would do the same, but it doesn't, so even if you don't move the mouse and are primarily just scrolling e.g. on a long web page, you'll eventually get interrupted by the mouse going to sleep. - Along with the previous scroll issue, there's been times when the scroll wheel will intermittently jitter in the opposite direction. I'm pretty sure it's just due to dust since it has been extremely inconsistent in occurrence and hasn't affected me at all during gaming sessions, but something to note regardless. Pulsar doesn't seem to update the firmware for this mouse, which doesn't matter too much since the mouse works 99.9% of the time as you'd expect. At least it would still be useful to know that they still support and intend to fix problems with at least some frequency of updates, it's just something to keep in mind. Overall I like the mouse, it feels sturdy, lightweight, and clicks / side buttons work great. Scrolling has a few quirks but nothing insanely deal-breaking nonetheless. Fairly satisfied, but I might still have a look at other options, especially since other competitors have some interesting options too. P.S. Wireless mouse are prone to eventually have their batteries slowly degrade and lose the ability to hold their charge, but you can often buy a replacement battery and swap them out if you're competent enough to do so. Avoid e-waste just because your old wireless mice don't work as well as they used to, swap the battery and give it new life to someone else!

Super long story long, this mouse works very well for me. I use a claw/fingertip grip and my hands are around 19.5 x 10 cm. I never use a palm grip, but for testing purposes I tried and the X2H isn’t the best for that, you’re better off going with the X2V2 for that, as it has more of a hybrid build that’s suitable for palm/claw/relaxed claw, whereas the X2H is more suitable for claw/fingertip (based on my own experience and a few reviews online). The feel of the mouse is nice, the grip is good, the glide is smooth (I use a Corsair MM300 pro mousepad for reference) and the clicks, side buttons and mouse wheel are good as well. The two side buttons are in perfect position the way my thumb rests on the side of the mouse, so that’s a big a plus for me. I’ve heard some people complain about how small the side buttons are, but I found no flaws about them and prefer them the way and where they are. I definitely notice a difference in sound when it comes to clicks, these are noticeably louder than the G502 Lightspeed I’m replacing, but it isn’t a deal breaker for me in any way. Overall, I’ve been satisfied with the performance, weight, buttons, connectivity and software of this mouse — simple, efficient, and good quality for just half the price of the much more expensive ones on the market. I’d definitely recommend this mouse to anyone who’s on the fence and I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

GREAT MOUSE... if you don't use a palm grip/prefer a fingertip grip. I previously owned a Pulsar xLite V2--the normal sized one. My hands are ever so slightly on the small side, and I was having trouble regularly pressing the side buttons on the V2, so I decided to try buying a smaller mouse in a different shape. Well, I didn't realize that my ~2 years of using the V2 made a palm grip my default way of using a mouse. This mouse is NOT made for a palm grip (or my hands are simply too big to make use of a palm grip on this mouse). It felt great at first, but I noticed that I was starting to get some serious carpal tunnel problems after using this mouse for a few months. I thought I was going crazy since nothing about my typical PC use changed (if anything, I started gaming less after buying this mouse since I got busier with school!), so I eventually went back to the V2 to test and see if it helped my carpal tunnel. I noticed some relief after about a week. This mouse is better suited for a fingertip/claw grip use case. That's not really my forte anymore, and old habits die hard, so I think that the hump on this mouse (located very far to the back and without having support for your thumb/index finger like the xLite V2+ has) ultimately made me use my index finger a little too much, leading to some finger and wrist pain. My hand may also be slightly too big for this mouse and therefore had trouble fully resting on it. Either way, I'd say that if you think your hand on the somewhat smaller side like I did (my measurements are like 0.5" below the average for men), you're probably better off using a normal size mouse. If you prefer a palm grip, STEER CLEAR OF THIS MOUSE. For an actual review: Pulsar is the GOAT for gaming mice right now in my opinion. Their mice are excellent quality. I own three now (got an xLite V3 to replace this one), and they've all been excellent. They're definitely pared down compared to other gaming mice regarding the number of buttons, but who needs all that when you've got a mouse that will last forever on a charge, is lightweight as anything, doesn't creak or bend weirdly, and feels great to hold? If this mouse is for you, you can't go wrong--trust me. If you're more on my case of things and prefer a palm grip, I suggest the xLite V2 or V3 (the V4 is just the V3 but with, like, an 8K polling rate, and you don't need that).

Fantastic mouse - it's very light and responsive. Nice software. I have a claw grip and relatively large hands but the mini size still works great for me.

Scroll wheel went out less than a month after receiving it. I thought I was going crazy, so I switched back to my old Logitech superlight. Nope. It just stopped working. That's fine o If it's a cheap mouse, but these things are 130 usd. We'll see if the replacement does the same thing. I also wasn't a fan of the dongle needing to be in line of sight of the mouse. It's kind of annoying how it lights up every time you move, but maybe there's a setting I missed that turns it off. Pros. It is crazy light like it says on the box. I loved that about it. Clicks felt really nice and the 'soft touch' shell was nice. It's easy to pick up and seems sturdy. Minus the scroll wheel. The shell color is awesome and the shape works great for my style of playing. The side buttons felt ok, but they weren't super solid. They felt a little bit spongy. The side button placement was good and the switches were light enough that clicking from the back of the switch felt great. I just wish the scroll wheel kept working. I really like the mouse and I requested a replacement instead of a refund. Let's hope the second one survives longer.
