PULSAR have released the new XLITE V3 and it also comes in an ESPORTS VERSION! But should you consider getting the ES or is the standard one superior? In this incredibly detailed review (in my unbiased opinion) we'll check out both of the mice to help you decide which one is the better option.

Finally, thanks for the great upload as always Chris!
Es version is nice but i dont wanna deal with QC lottery to be honest.
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
Do you know if they are making the x2h mini in the es format?
im waiting to try the large version when it is released, i basically want a lighter EC1
Does the real DPI and polling rate match whet the settings says for the es version? Plenty of posts about the setting lying in all directions.
could you do x2h es version review?
any thoughts on reviewing WL Beast X mouse?
Will say on my Pulsar X2H Mini Founders Edition clicks feel atleast if not better than on my pro wireless x superlight it also came with the 4K dongle ohh and the dongle glows green
Could you do a video on what is the best wireless ergo mouse for gaming going into 2024? I have been torturing my hand with the gpro for too long and I need a good mouse for my palm gripping paw.
Finally pulsar got it together in performance price aint to bad 🎉. But im getting a beast x they need to get lighter and faster in latency of the firmware.
ngl i love the screen for the settings, very well executed
The mini version will be my endgame if it has no QC issues. God tier claw/fingertip small ergo.
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 wish they wouldve used mechanical switches. There's plenty of great ones from Huano and other brands. Or at least the Omron opticals. Not a big fan of those Raesha ones that this and Thorn both have.
From what I remember, this mouse wasn’t on the 2023 release vid pulsar dropped around this time last year but the x2h esports edition was! So a rather interesting addition to the ergo market but not something I’m particularly interested in
i got an used ec2 as a gift, and it started having issues lately, so i think i'm gonna get the xlite v3, but the clicks worry me, is it more like the ec2 ? ou closer to a deathadderv2 "my old mouse", if any of you have some divers feedback on the click feeling it'd be great :)
im tired of ec2 inspired ergos, i hope we get a deathadder or g703 inspired shape soon
They have a similar shape to Dav3 no?
was so surprised to see its warhuryeah when the facecam turned on LOL
The LCD display is useful for competing esport players that using other peoples computer.
your settings stay on a mouse. how would other peoples PC effect this?
@@DiamondLobbyReviewsparanoia
@@ZRay507 very true
These vs the thorn?
Coming Razer Viper ultimate, I’m having an amazing time with V3 es.
Mine arrives in 3 days. How is your unit in terms of qc?
Had the same issue with the thumb groove sticking out too much when using the Xlite V2 Mini. After this, thought ergos weren't my preference and gave up on ergos for a while. You're the only reviewer I've seen to call out this. Maining a NP-01s Wireless now, it sticks out as well, but due to the more aggressive rear hump and lower profile in comparison, it does not get in the way for me. The NP-01s made me realize ergo could be a possibility for me. Your input helped affirm to try the Thorn or Sprime PM1 next, as I've been looking at these for some time now. Symmetrical I've been looking at Viper V3, LA-1, Atlantis Mini, & Maya. Just so many options to try. My hand size is 18x9.5cm relaxed claw if you have any recommendations.
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.
this mouse is amazing. am a fan of zowie EC shape and move to GPX like 1.5year and what am found it suck. I never get used to GPX even I tried to mod them with top Quality Grip tape change feet to tiger ice feet it never match with my hand. I decide to move to Xlite V3. this mouse is the best. feeling to grip it the best mouse i ever grip . one thing that i don't like them was coating too slippy for me but it can fix with Grip tape and everything it perfect now. anyway it better than Zowie maybe it because of the weight and height
Great vid
The can you tell the difference between the two and what you said is genuinely hilarious
the trippiest video ever
At least you get to see the battery life
"The LCD HD TV" 😂😂
Okay i really need help on choosing mouse for my hand size and grip This is my first time. My hand size - 20x11 cm Grip- relaxed claw grip Ok so i already saw many many reviews and there are definitely so many good mouses this year, so i’m confused on which one would be the best for my hand size and grip so i need y’all help on this. The options i choose are 1) Ninjutso Sora 4k 2) Pulsar Xlite V3 3) Endgame Xm2We 4) Pulsar X2V2 Any other mice recommendations would be appreciated!!
I like lightweight mouses btw
Other mice that i like is wl mouse beast x

A pulsar with no cut-outs! Finally!
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.
i had the same comfort issues with the ax until i put grip tape on it.
2:31 Aw, i thought you were going to say "illiterate"
The production level of these videos puts NASA to shame.
I had x2v2 , left click became hard to click after a month of use, will never buy this brand again
Why would pulsar make the esports version heavier???
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.
Fair review but it's 2024 and the Thorn is just the better product - Steelseries did that screen LITERALLY 15 years ago.
pm1 clears
The Sprime PM1 would absolutely dominate this mice (the mice is available for pre order until early january)
Although shape wise is subjective
Floppy Diamond Flamingo
1600dpi? Jeeeeez
the scroll wheel is such a massive turnoff to me.
Done with Pulsar lottery. A Zebra and a Bruce Lee with issues is enough for me.
what issues did you have with your bruce lee and how long did it take for the issue to surface?
they called their product as "e-sports" when they did not provide a dongle storage 💀💀
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.
I love u
They baited everyone with a “color OLED display” but then went with a display you’d find on a 2013 vape 🤣
it have optic switch, it never be best
P
1600 DPI?! I'm unsubbing.
Objectively better for latency though and reduces skipping significantly
I don't understand why they're wasting all this time and energy with the Ergo shape. Meanwhile 80% Pros all use GPX and its Ambi shape, and it's where all these companies need to focus their attention.
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.
Great review man. I'm so thorned rn. I want an ergo, It would be the first one since years of ambi. But I don't know wich one to chose between the Xlite V3 eS, Vaxee Outser & Zowie EC3-CW. To be brutaly honest, I don't care about high polling, that's why my first choice would be the Zowie, because I know they are the Lamborghinis in the ergo world. If you had to chose one between those 3 and play with for a year straight, what would you chose and why? 🥲
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.
