Transcripts
Pulsar have released the third version
of their xite series and there's two of
them one of which has some interesting
and neverbe seen stuff in it which is
specifically designed for esorts these
whes raise a lot of questions like what
makes this one designed for esorts why
does this scroll wheel look weird should
you even consider buying the Standard
Version and what happens if you use the
standard version for esorts well you you
actually die so I had previously
reviewed the X2 V2 which I did actually
have some problems with more
specifically a jumping scroll wheel I
don't really have the tolerance for
pulsar and quality control issues
anymore so they just need to get this
right and also they sent these out to me
this time so I don't have to buy them
thank you guys the original X light came
out around January
2021 and there's been significant
changes to these new ones from the
previous xite V2 Can you spot the
difference that's right as you can
clearly see the xite V2 is using a 3370
sensor and kgm 8.0 switches which by
today standards are old and stinky these
new mice are using the very common 3395
sensor and Nordic MCU combination so
both of these mice support an increased
polling rate but there is a difference
between them the standard version
supports up to a 4,000 HZ polling rate
however that requires a separate dongle
purchase which also brings the total
cost up a bit which I'll get to a bit
later the ES version supports up to
8,000 HZ wired and 4,000 HZ Wireless and
has the increased polling rate dongle
included now it's time for the more
interesting stuff and something that I
am personally very picky about and that
is scroll Wheels over the past year or
so there's been a bit more of an effort
from manufacturers to add a bit more
quality and consistency to them but
there can still be a few issues scroll
wheel problems was actually one of the
more notable quality control issues that
affected the Pulsar X2 and as I said
earlier I had an issue with the X2 V2
which was released a few months ago with
a jumping scroll wheel and the new X
light v3s are using the same setup as
the X2 V2 so it'll be interesting to see
if I have the same issues with these new
ones Pulsar have tried to take it to the
next level they're using an encoder that
they've designed themselves and there's
a few other changes with indirect wheel
clicks and a bunch of other mumbo jumbo
now though let's take a look at the
wheel not that one this one it's made
from aluminium or aluminum if you're
American this is Aerospace grade
aluminium Pulsar says this ensures
precision longivity and provides a
robust scrolling experience it looks
pretty neat again I'll provide more
details a bit later on how it feels for
the main switches these I believe are
using ratier optical and here is a sound
check there is another addition that the
es has over the standard version which
is the free TV located on the underside
of the mouse before I get to that let's
just do a comparison of the shape with
some other notable ergonomic mice this
design is very similar to zo's ec2 but
let's have a look at the comparison
between the lambu thorn and also the
vaxi outset ax so the shape profile is a
bit different compared to the lambu
thorn which is a lot more rounded in
most
areas
[Music]
the xite has a lot of similarities
though with the outset especially in the
lower left section of the mouse where
the curvature is somewhat identical this
will become very important later how it
feels in my hand is a different story as
there's a reason why I haven't found
these to be that comfortable the
dimensions are practically the same they
are 122 mm long 67 mm wide on the es and
66 mm on the regular and they're both 43
mm tall however the weight is different
the standard version is 55 G and the es
is 65 G if we flip these over we can see
the holes that normally feature being
filled in on the Es as well as the LCD
HDTV which probably adds a bit of extra
weight I really just thought that this
thing was going to be a gimmick as these
featur is make me relive the hilarity of
the steel series rival 710 I think here
it serves a practical purpose it's easy
to change the settings on the mouse such
as turning on motion sync polling rate
DPI and click debounce to name a few nor
do you have to install the mediocre
software and load it every time you want
to make changes which you still have to
do on the standard version but it's good
to be able to see exactly what you've
turned on what you've turned off and
what your setup actually is and it's
also great if you're setting up the
mouse for the first time or if you want
to play around and try out the various
options however if you are a superior
gamer much like myself and you simply
just plug the mouse in set it to 1,600
DPI and go ahead and simply play the
game then honestly this feature might be
a bit redundant because you'll just look
at it once and then never again before I
get to which one you should buy there
are a few minor complaints that I have
to go through first for those that have
watched these awardwinning reviews
before you may already know what I'm
going to complain about and that is the
switches now this isn't the fault of
Pulsa actually it probably is because
they selected the switches to put into
the mouse I've said many times I'm not a
fan of these ratio switches they feel
pretty low quality overall and a bit
mushy after a week or so of using these
switches I do find that I adjust and I
get used to them and the downsides
aren't noticeable my other issue is
mainly down to the shape this is me
being very nitpicky here but it's worth
mentioning basically I find the shape
causes the same issue that the outset
set ax did where the bottom left side of
the mouse digs into my hand a bit too
much and as a result it makes it a bit
uncomfortable after playing with it for
a while considering the issues that
Pulsar had with a previous mice the
turnaround here is actually pretty
incredible outside of the switches both
of these mice have a premium feel to
them there's no rattle squeaks Flex or
anything on these mice in terms of build
quality excluding the switches they are
perfect and I would go as far to say
they match vxi in terms of quality the
improvements to the scroll wheels are
worth an extra mention first the jumping
scroll wheel issue I had with the X2 V2
does not happen with these ones and they
also feel a lot better so it looks like
I was a very isolated case back then the
standard version has one of the best
scroll wheel setups I've used but is
there a difference with the aluminium
one I would say yes the click is a lot
more tactile and scrolling does feel a
bit lighter so it took some adjustment
for me but once I had gotten used to it
I can say that I'm actually quite
impressed pressed by it however as the
standard version also has a great scroll
wheel setup I don't think this provides
a significant benefit now we get to the
price of these mice which one you should
buy and if you should choose these over
some of the other fantastic ergonomic
mice we've seen this year the price of
the standard xlite V3 is around
$95.95 if you want the 4K dongle with
the standard version that's going to
take it to around
$120 the es is around
$1299 5 cents however that does include
the 4K dongle so which one should you
buy honestly I think the standard
version is good enough I like the es but
I think only the aluminum scroll wheel
provides a real benefit for me out of
all the added features the LCD HDTV does
add some benefit but honestly once you
found your preferred setup you may never
use it ever again and also I'm not sure
if this affects the black models only
but the coating on the es is a bit too
sticky for me it's kind of similar to
the old zi mice I do think the lambu
thorn is the more comfortable Mouse to
hold for me but the quality of the X
light v3s are far superior so it's
really a tossup for what you look for in
a mouse in terms of shape if you're
someone that likes the ec2 shape then
these mice are probably an easy choice
in comparison to the vxi outset ax it
again comes down to personal preference
the ax is more suited for a tilt grip
but the Pulsa might have the benefit of
a lighter weight Pulsa have really gone
all out on these mice and it really does
show I do think that these mice would
have made my top five list of the year
if Pulsa had sent them to me a little
bit earlier previously Pulsar have made
me feel a little bit uncertain when
recommending their products based on the
previous issues that a lot of people had
but this time around I can certainly
recommend getting these mice these are
some of the highest quality mice that I
have used this year but if you want to
know what the best mice of 2023 are
there's a video on screen now that will
tell you
