Do you have slam click issues? I have the Bruce Lee edition with optical switches and it has slam click issues if set to anything below 4ms. I would increase it if it didn't mess with my Wingman shots timing.

Serious question though, is the trial releases already out? By that I mean are the good batches out yet?

[@TacoBeIIKing]

I like the 4K dongle being a DLC. Brings the price down for people that don’t want it / already have it while still being accessible for those that do want it

[@Jammer_cs]

I agree with you completely, 4k is a fad that has very limited impact from what I can find and I would rather have a cheaper product at 1k

[@Assguardian2004]

I'd have to agree. Just like how not everyone is a competitive crazed gamer who buys 500hz monitors, not everyone wants 4k hertz. I say this as i own 3 different 4k dongles lol (pulsar, lamzu, razer). Now if there were to add higher polling rates to the mice without increasing the price... that's a different story lol. (gpx v2)

[@DocSnicklefritz]

@@Jammer_cs hard to call it a fad when increasing polling rates isn't a new concept. Try gaming on 125hz and try to convince yourself the difference from 1000hz is placebo

[@Michael-pg7rv]

bingo.

[@Michael-pg7rv]

Selling the 4k dongle separately makes a lot of sense. 4K polling to a vast majority of consumers is a gimmicky feature or at least one which is an unnoticeable improvement. If they made it standard they would be making 90% of the consumer base pay for the feature that they would not need. Effectively this allows Pulsar to keep the price competitive for the vast majority of the user base. If you want 4K.. well then buy it separately.. No big deal.

[@yanni-duff]

I personally have the x2 mini premium black and it's been amazing. Zero QC issues, huano switches, responsive sensor and most of all the shape and look is unbeatable. I struggle to find a good mouse that fits my hand and grip style. Even the coating is great. I bought grip tape separately but it got slimy really fast (made me sweat more idk) so I ended up using it as it is. And honestly the grip is perfect without my hands getting oily ever.

[@forgiveriri]

i found that my version, if i dont press the m1 for a while its really hard to click, then after i click it its normal again

so only the 4k dongle sold separately and the normal one comes with it right

[@_paczki]

I remember when I got my first EC2-A yearssss ago and the side buttons had post travel that my finger was able to go inside the mouse. I think QC has been long enough of an issue.

[@fool3950]

I hate it when the 4k dongle is sold separately. Really hard to get one. A retail store in my country is selling Razer 4K dongle $60 a piece.

[@OnlyTrap808]

at least they're selling :D it's impossible to get one where i live

[@paul2609]

Not everyone wants a 4K dongle that will add another 1/3rd of the cost.

[@jsnagn3410]

Never really needed a 4k dongle. So happy it had to be purchased separately.

[@jilherme]

I wouldn't mind if I could use a single dongle interchangeably

[@Billy_The_Frog]

I think the 4k dongle being sold separately is ok as long as the individual prices of the mouse and the dongle are reasonable. It's good for ppl who are buying the mouse for the 1st time and don't care about 4k polling. 4k is a luxury imo and isn't all positives, it's like buying a 360 Hz monitor. I'm also pretty sure 4k isn't going to help a hardstuck Bronze player immediately get to Diamond. I just kinda wish the V1 of the pulsar x2 and Lamzu atlantis already used the Nordic MCU, so i dont have to buy an entirely new mouse just to try 4k polling.

[@jakeufps]

QC issues are something Pulsar will never be able to get rid of. The sheer amount of issues I've seen people having with the X2H already is baffling to say the least. Almost nobody owns a X2H, and still I've had over 4 people reach out to me warning about the X2H issues 💀

left click on my X2H died couple days ago, sent back for RMA.

[@johnh.856]

I own the X2 Bruce Lee Edition and I feel like my scroll wheel accidentally registers a lot. I could tell because my scroll wheel down was originally jump and I would just randomly jump while moving the mouse a lot. I since then swapped my primary mouse that I use AND swapped jump to scroll wheel up and haven't noticed any accidental inputs. I think it's a combination of how I grip the mouse and how the scroll wheel can easily "hover in-between grooves" (I guess I'd call it) and therefore be prone to randomly scrolling up or down once I moved the mouse enough.

[@Pividol]

I actually enjoy your content, unlike some other mouse reviewers. Your editing is a lot better than certain other channels with many more subscribers.

[@finger00]

I've been using both the X2 and the X lite v2 medium, the only issue I've had on both mice is the occasional double click at a debounce below 7. Other than that they have performed flawless.

[@Bananasucker24]

The new one doesnt have that issue anymore since it has optical switches

[@SirPrestonScott]

I’ve heard that the trade off for the 4K polling rate vs the resources it takes to have that doesn’t even equate to a perceivable difference. Honestly the 4K doesn’t bother me

[@2rocketfish]

I unfortunately returned the x2v2 to the clicks getting stuck and messing up and also returned a x2h for the same reason.

[@mmmmate5884]

my x2 is randomly jumping on apex lol some say it was fixed on the x2 v2

[@silentnative0134]

My x2 mini did not have any problems. It's my favorite hands down.

[@tacoj0e]

I haven't had any QC issues with the newer Pulsars. I've used the x2 mini clear, x2v2 mini, x2h mini and I liked them all with the x2v2 mini being my favorite. Big fan of the new coating, I hope it holds up though. The scroll wheel across the 3 were similar and I think the scroll resistance is fine, in fact better than my old G305.

[@raven99999]

Been using xlite v2 for cs only, a total 120 hrs playtime with that mouse and now i can't buy a single flashbang because of the double click lol. Didn't even use that mouse outside of cs. I really want to like pulsar but man my pulsar experience hasn't been nice lol. Makes me really think whether to buy the x2v2 or just save some more money for superlight 2 which is slightly heavier and "only" 2k hz. Or maybe just buy a damn lamzu or the new ninjutso that only has 1 year warranty in my country lol

[@jasonjennings8465]

I must be lucky since I own a number of Pulsar mice and not a single one has had QC issues. Well I take that back, my Bruce Lee mini now has a bit of flex and creek when you squeeze it.

[@raith-san]

[@drew9429]

I actually like the new scroll wheel in my X2V2 Mini, I don't have the accidental jumps and been using mine for 3 weeks now. I am previously using the X2 Mini Bruce Lee and the X2V2 mini feels like an upgrade in every aspect.

[@KD07932]

I had X2 Mini red and all the red ones are batch 2. Really terrible experience. I ordered it from US to a far country so product coming in faulty is a double problem for me. Mouse scroll is terrible and is both jumpy and loosing out of encoder a little which is changing how it feels. I have had main click issues had to tape mod my way out of there. Ribbon cable died so I couldn't use side buttons. They made me literally pay 20$ for a ribbon cable. It would be all fine if Pulsar was handing me out a replacement. They instead say hey send it to France so we can repair it. Repair? It's a faulty product.

[@VASY460]

what about pulsar x2h ?

[@joelanuar2229]

my x2 mini got scroll wheel input issue like crazy after 6 month use. might have been my fault since i use the wheel hella in val n apex. i dont really mind it since they replaced mine with the x2v2 ones for free after i send it back. free upgrades hehe. if ur thinking of buying x2.. dont get lamzu instead

[@truphot1]

i upgraded to it from a rival 650 and its so good, motion sync also made it better so it feels like some aimbot and for 100$ its crazy, also considering the superlight 2 is 190$ i would reccomend the x2v2 every day

[@paul2609]

Motion sync makes the mouse worse actually, tested by pzogel from TPU, no reason to have it enabled for pulsar mice. Many have reported Pulsar's motion sync feels like negative acceleration.

[@echos4240]

You should review the Op1we

[@BenisVAL]

ive had 2 pulsar mouses, first one was the X2 Mini and it had scrollwheel issues, then died out of nowhere with no connection Now i got the Pulsar V2 X2 and the clicking broke after 1 week of use, now when i click it is hard clicks like it gets stuck. Overall like the shape of the shell and how i feels in the hand, very sad to see they cannot fix all these issues

[@paul2609]

Disassembling and reassembling should fix the clicks as it can get knocked around during shipping. Should just take 2mins. Remove two screws from the bottom, remove the bottom plate, then reassemble.

[@BenisVAL]

@@paul2609 i have glass skates on, if i remove to dissasemble i have no skates

[@lk1407]

the seperate 4K dongle is actually a good design. people who want 4K on their mouse are in the minority (you need good system spec and a specific game that supports 4K polling). keeps the cost of the mouse down for the rest of normal users who just want the new shape.

[@erisium6988]

its not hard to include 4khz in that price. Mouse are cheap to made.

​@@erisium6988not everyone wants 4Khz, let them save money.

[@aubrynobicop6924]

I feel a 4k dongle was fine for razar becuase they were the first to do hight polling rates above 1k but at this point no brand has just included it which i think they should its been like 2 years

[@perdikos7633]

Damn... We are not beta testers. Couldnt have said that better. So I guess I am skipping this mouse and probably going for the atlantis mini. My current x2 has scroll wheel issue and have to set click latency to 7ms so it doesnt double click. Such a shame for such a good shape.

[@paul2609]

Optical switches don't have this problem

[@perdikos7633]

​@@paul2609I know but still, I'm not taking the risk of sending another mouse back because of shite qc. Gonna wait for long term reviews (if any) to see if it's worth investing time into another pulsar product. Judging by how few the reviews are I assume people already lost faith on pulsar

my x2v2 is flawless but i was also a victim of a shiity original x2 & a shitty x2 mini founders edition. that being said, a good copy of an x2v2 is flawless (so far). I hope the QC issues aren't as common as they were for the x2. p.s. my scrollwheel is perfect, clear defined steps that require medium force, unlike my lamzu og v2 4k. I've had multiple phantom jumps with my lamzu :(

[@IvanOfficial01]

Ffs why are mouse companies forgoing the middle dpi cycling button on mice these days, such a bummer since I use that button as an in game setting for so many games since it was 1st introduced. 😔

[@paul2609]

You are in the minority mate

[@resvoire5650]

If you ever opened a mouse, you"ll know that top dpi button is taking a large space. The button itself is a large plastic from the top of the mouse all the way to the microswitch on pcb in the bottom. Nowadays they remove it for design convenience and reducing weight

[@AGXJDM]

WHY ARE U SO LAZY AND JUST DONT PRESS THE DPI BUTTON ON THE BOTTOM OF THE MOUSE OUT OF ALL THE ISSUES YOUR SAD ABOUT THAT???????

[@smokyz_]

WHAT!? I didn't even notice that. Thats a bummer, I guess I'll be skipping this mouse then. No dpi button at the top is a deal breaker for me. A lot of the games require me to change mouse sens mid intesive game, and changing dpi via the bottom of the mouse is not viable at all. If we take BattleBit as example, there I have to lower my dpi by 3.5x whenever I get in a heli just cause they got atrociously high mouse sens in them. Then if you either crash or just hop out in the middle of enemy team, you have to switch the sens back up quick. This is really retarded if you have to pick up your mouse, get your left hand off the keyboard and somehow manage to swap dpi back in a timely manner.

[@eirin099]

Just bind it to the side buttons or just change the vehicle sens

[@Papi_Nolan]

Lethal Gaming Gear sent me a replacement of the X2 and gave me a free X2v2 and this copy is just as bad. My left click is sticky and feels like I am pressing a broken button half the time. Just go with Lamzu and do not waste your time with this mouse.

[@infinitezest3912]

Buy the x2v2(immediately) Didn't have much hopes but it's a super good mouse. Especially for apex which is the only game I play. Nothing wrong with the QC on mine but obviously make sure everything's good since it varies unit to unit. Much better than both viper V2 pro and gpx, my previous mice

[@perdikos7633]

man... I wanna get the x2v2 mini as the mice I currently use (old x2 and viper mini) have problems. x2 obviously has qc issues, scroll wheel practically unusable, 7ms click latency so it doesn't double click and viper mini horrible skates after 2 years of use. I wanna get a new mouse, and with that, I wanna get new mouse feet for viper mini as well. How long have you been using the x2v2 and where did you buy it from? My scroll wheel started having problems 2 - 3 months after I bought it. Buttons had instantly problems with double click. I used to play apex only when I bought it as well and after some time I noticed a lot of inconsistency on my movement because of the trash scroll wheel.

[@infinitezest3912]

@@perdikos7633 I got it second hand thinking I'd just sell it if I didn't like it. I got it from eBay. Mine was like new, 4k dongle and super grips for $65. The other owner said he used it for a couple months and I've had it for a month now. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, works like a charm. Previously used gpx, viper pro 2 and this clears both easily, especially for apex. Kinda wanna try the lamzu tho ngl

this or x2h?

[@tacoj0e]

I liked the x2v2 mini better than the x2h mini, the x2h hump is pretty big which I was expecting, but what I didn't like was the waist was thinner while the butt was wider. Also the x2h clicks were stiffer, I think it's due to the frame and not the actual switches as the x2 mini clicks felt very similar to the x2v2 mini clicks.

[@Noneya5555]

​@@tacoj0eI have the X2H Mini, and my clicks seem just fine. I have relatively large hards, but wanted to see what all the fuss was about with small mice. Tbh, even with my relaxed fingertip/claw grip, my palm doesn't even make contact with the hump. However, I do wish it was a bit wider. Enjoying it so far, but it will probably be the last small mouse I buy.

[@mil-kw9zi]

@@Noneya5555 same sentiment here even with medium sized hands, people push small sized mice way too much but it's really all just bs. There's not enough width on the back for me to be able to get a consistent grip on. Will have to try the X2H now.

[@paul2609]

​@@tacoj0emy X2H clicks are a tad lighter than the X2V2 (post-fix) I find that the bottom plate can be misaligned during shipping, so if you disassemble the bottom plate and reinstall it should make the clicks back to normal if you notice a large difference between the mice.

You shouldnt care about 4k polling rate at all. 1000 is the sweetspot. Believe it or not but there are games and game engines still out there that has issues with 1000hz still. 4k is just a gimmick, dont bother

[@paul2609]

It depends on your hardware, I had issues with Frostbite engine games and CSGO on 4Khz. But switching from AMD Ryzen to Intel eliminated the issues. 4khz is actually noticeable on a 360hz monitor especially on fast games like Overwatch, hard to go back to 1000Hz.
