I started with an IE3.0 23 years ago,it's still on my desk. Loosed a little of her paint but is still in good condition. Thats Quality, but todays heavy like a Brick. Used a lot of Zowie mice in between. Now im using the Pulsar Xlite V3 eS and Zowie EC2-CW as my main mice. I like the low weight of the Pulsar and the crisp main buttons compared to the Zowie. If the pulsar had an optical scroll wheel like the Zowie, then it would be perfect for me. Ordered the red version this week. The display is just right for me as a freak. The normal V3 would not be a solution.
Nice review you were at 100 subs like last week congrats on 1k
Thank you!! 🙏🙏
+1 hoping for a white version. You're starting to have a nice ergo collection there for comparisons. It would be cool to see your thoughts on the Outset AX shape one day. Great review and gratz on the 1k!
White version!!!🍻 You're right! I have quite a number of comparison content to work on in the coming year. I want to keep comparison separate to be fair to the product and keep it focused on the topic with my reviews 😅 Thank you for your support! and Merry Christmas :)
Hey bro congrats on 1000! Also cant wait until you qualify for monetization!
Thank you my friend! I'm still pretty far away from meeting the criteria for that... Slow and steady 🙌
After watching this video, it totally convinced me to buy a Zowie EC3 CW, thank you.
I got this mouse along with the Lamzu Thorn with the 4K dongle. These two were the mice I tried all year but I have to agree with you, Pulsar took the cake with this release
You got two ergonomic gems of 2023 in your hands 😍 The Thorn was a very close second!
This was a really good review Wasabi. Congrats on 1k subs 😁 🎉
Hey LogPile!! Thank you so much🙏🍻 Merry Christmas to you :)
Love your reviews, very thorough. Hell, having chapters on the video is huge by itself
I'm glad those turned out helpful because it can be a little tedious getting those prepared😅😅
How would you compare it to the EC2 CW? Very torn between the two at the moment
Bought this mouse two days ago and man! I have to say I’m so impressed with all the features and feel of the mouse. (My main used to be the Death adder V3 Wireless pro and now this is my main! No regrets!)
Hi, im thinking about buying this mouse since i have an ec2-cw but i want one with similar shape but lighter weight. Do you have any feedback/complaints now 12 days later?
My favorite mouse so far is the Xlite V3 es, and I own many, including the ec2-cw wireless. The shape is quite similar to the others, but the left and right clicks took me a couple of days to get used to. The mouse is super responsive and feels comfortable in my hand. I swapped out the mouse skates with obsidian skates, and it's been the best mouse I own. However, the only complaint I have is that the mouse feels like it could slip out of my hand because of how light it is, but I usually have sweaty hands while gaming. To solve this problem, I got pulsar grips, and it's been an amazing experience so far.
@@officialdvnte Thank you so much for the response! i just ordered the mouse, i also have sweaty hands while gaming for some reason so i might have to look into the pulsar grips :D
@@ghostlycs I'm glad that I was able to help you out! :)
Pulsar seems to be the most focused mouse company to date, nothing they have is too experimental, which made me less interested… but the word of mouth is undeniable!
That's a very good observation and I do agree with you! Have you seen their "Christmas" Video? There were a lot of product concept names in it and I don't think my wallet can keep up with all those releases next year 🥹😂
u should pre order the Sprime PM1, its a good g703 mini
my XLite V2 just died. as much as i loved that mouse, it was too small for my hand (23 x 13) but it was the most comfortable that I had tried (especially the shape). Hopefully pulsar will release the large size of the V3 or V3 eS soon because the regular size is too small for me LOL
Ohh there seems to have been some delays in the Large and Mini versions of the V3 :( Hope you have something to use for the time being
Grabbed one after the disappointment of the creaking shell on my Pwnage Stormbreaker and have been rather impressed with it. The battery life is also phenomenal, even using 4k I have yet to need to charge it after 2 weeks and still have about 50% battery left.
Pulsar really nailed it with this release! It deserves a lot more attention than it currently has but I think it's because of Pulsars reputation of QC control. It seems to be much better with this one I must say!
@@wasabitech Yeah after the surprise that was this mouse I'm actually planning on getting a X2H eS to try as well when I can
@@funkmetal oo that sounds exciting! You're gonna have a lot of fun gaming with the two i'm sure. They plan to release an X2A eS soon! Another one to look out for haha
@wasabitech Yeah, between those two, my Beast X and wanting to get a couple of Lamzu and Vaxee mice the next year should be interesting
Can't wait to get mine. Thanks for the review.
Cant wait for you to get yours! and I hope you get a good unit too!!!😊 (with every brand there's always a chance of a dud. fingers crossed🤞🏻)
Couldn't agree more. Been using this mice as my main driver now. Battery life is phenomenal even with a heavy usage for gaming and work. Great in-depth review sir. Do you by any chance can confirm if the Super Glide Skates for Xlite V2 will fit for V3 ES?
Thank you my friend! Hmm I just took a quick look on their website and it seems that the Supergllide 2 (on their website) works with Xlite Series mice. I would guess that this means it works for V2 and V3 Xlite's. If that is true then I would assume that Superglide 1 for the Xlite's work with all versions as well :)
you should review the lamzu maya, recently seen a lot of good videos about it, would love to get your input about the mouse ^^
Thank you! That's one that many people have been asking since I've started this channel in Nov😅Unfortunately I do not have a unit right now but hopefully in time!
Between this and the Thorn, which you prefer? Question about the Thorn if I may: isn’t the side buttons too high or too far away from the thumb? My hands size are pretty similar to yours.
All good for me with Thorn. Side buttons in good spot, but this is me, I have long fingers. 2k or 4k is eating battery very fast.
Stuck between this or the x2v2. Any input to swade my decision would be awesome. Great reviews!
This if you use more Palm and Relax Claw grip, X2V2 if you use Regular Claw, Aggressive Claw or Fingertip :) There is also the X2H which has a higher hump and narrow waist which is great for Claw. Hope this helps 😊 There is an X2A eS version that is planned for release. It has an OLED and an aluminum scroll wheel! Here is a list of their releases but perhaps there's more details on their twitter :) www.pulsar.gg/pages/calendar-list
did yours develop a slow charging issue after it hit 0%?
I have not had that issue or anything related to the battery but this does not sound right. Please reach out to Pulsar of the distributor you got yours from to have it sorted out asap :O
Steelseries did that screen 15 years ago (no really, fifteen years ago - I had two, Ikari Laser AND Xai) - not taking anything away from Pulsar but nobody is giving SS the credit they deserve - and I hate SS I think they are anti-consumer corporate scum BUT their engineers deserve CREDIT - and sorry but that screen does absolutely nothing for me. MUCH BETTER THAN ZOWIE though Pulsar well done! I am considering picking up an EC2-CW when the price comes down to the correct £69.99. QingSui 3 PRO Honestly owning a white Thorn I just can't find one single reason to even consider this mouse - I mean at that price - if it was £79.99 (what it's worth, it's over 10g heavier than the Thorn with probably worse coating) I would own it, instantly, no second thoughts. Not paying £120 though LMAO
Yes QingSui 3 PRO 🙏😅 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this! The Thorn is an incredible mouse and a very close second for me. I can imagine it being a long daily driver for a lot of gamers for a very very long time. They did a slight update to the design of the PCB with their latest batch of Thorn i'm not too sure if it brought down the weight closer to what was on their website but either way, easy recommendation for someone looking for an ergonomic! I wonder if Lamzu will roll out a new version or special edition Thorn next year... exciting🍻
review the lamzu maya please
I really really want to but very low on funds at the moment. Unfortunately, this makes me fall behind on content compared to other Reviewers and the latest products... Thank you for supporting me by watching and commenting on my video! I'll try to find some work and save up for it.
keep up the good work bro, easily one of my fav reviewers
The only thing that drives me nuts about this mouse is the red tag on the bottom. Trying wayyy to hard to be a zowie lol
🤣
They already did on their Christmas trailer one leak about the v4 it will have the 30k sensor guess. Let’s see end of 2024 😅
I'm afraid that the video would have put off a lot of people from buying the V3... these days, more gamers are frequently buying more mice than ever before. As a reviewer I would hate to encourage people to get a new mouse only for the next version to come up in less than 6 months 🥹
@@wasabitech I really liked the V3 ES. The only problem was that the matte coating gets polished quickly by fingers. Also, I didn’t like that in Valorant, when I do a one-tap, it fires two bullets at a time until I let go of the button. I didn’t have any problems with the Thorn, Cobra Pro, and Fnatic Bolt. One click is one bullet. I had the same problem a long time ago with the Logitech G Pro Superlight
@@chvtney heya! that's something I noticed as well in Valorant. I have to lift my finger off really quick to do a single shot with lower debounce time. Increasing the debounce time should help with it! This is something I am curious to find out from them. oh and Happy New Year!!
Yes same. Need to let the finger really quick for one taps. But yeah.. Ty ! I wish it too and for a big growth for your channel and lot of success! Coming 2024. Good channel! So impactful and detailed
How can i get 1,000 dpi ?? 😢😢
1,000 dpi? You can set it to 1,000 dpi with the DPI button on the bottom. its the one to the right of the sensor :)
@@wasabitech The button to the right of the sensor only allows you with default figures which are 400/ 800 / 16,000 / 32,000 / 64,000 that’s way my question is . how can I set it to 1,000? It would be great if you make a short by setting the mouse to 1,000 🙏
OH BALANCED weight I thought you said BELLEND weight distribution LMAO
WHITE VERSION INCOMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING
