How To Fix Sticky Clicks On The Pulsar X2H, X2A & X2V2

[@mel0nFPS]

Hey everyone, small update for you all: So it appears like Pulsar has "patched" this issue on the newer batches of the X2H, X2V2 and X2H preventing this issue. I also confirmed that this issue isn't present on the Xlite v3, X2H eS or the Xlite eS editions. I'll do my best to get my hands on some newer batch models to see if they're truly patched the issue. If for whatever reason they haven't the fix in this video still applies to the X2H, X2A and X2V2. Thanks for watching 💜

[@robinyuuu]

Does pulsar provide a replacement copy if you currently own an older "pre-patch" model? Also, is there a way to tell if you have an old vs new model?

[@feinted]

wonder when they started this because I bought an x2v2 a month ago and I'm having sticky clicks following this vid now

[@mel0nFPS]

Not sure, I’d reach out to pulsar or where you purchased it from and inquire about warranty support.

[@raizek086]

Hello, how do I know if my mouse is part of the first or second batch or on a new one?

[@mel0nFPS]

@@raizek086 You can tell by the serial numbers but based off of what I've heard some batch 3 units are still having issues sadly.

[@DELZOR]

You saved this mouse for me, X2V2 mini to be specific. Had this issue in the first month of buying it but didn't want to go through the RMA process plus my tinkering side got the better of me. Only on the fourth disassembly today did I actually google someone doing this... I was too dense to realize the switch pads weren't the only thing that could be causing this, thank you!

[@mel0nFPS]

Hey! Thank you so much for the tip and I'm so glad the video helped you out!

[@EmBre15]

Fantastic video and info! I had the sticky click issue on my X2A which was less than a month old. I took it apart and it was the archway contact pad issue you described. The contact pad was damaged so in a resting position the left click stuck to it, so the first click always felt sticky. I removed it and all is well now. I don't hear or feel a difference in the click. I could have RMAed it, but felt like a waste for such a small issue that is easily fixable. After soldiering on new switches onto my GPW and G903, this was pretty simple.

[@ELGROMP]

[@skateandmore]

Hi! did you get the Razer switches from aliexpress? If so, do you have a link?

Just recently got an x2v2 medium size and I noticed the sticky main clicks almost immediately. I read some posts on it found the resolution by removing the small foam pieces under the anchors. It seems to have resolved all the issues I was experiencing. I didn't know about the rubber on the top until I saw this video, but I also haven't noticed anything bad yet, indicating that there is an issue (knock on wood). With the foam under the anchors, I didn't even bother to disassemble as much as this video demonstrated. I just used a safety pin after I disconnected the ribbon and poked the foam out from underneath and scraped as much of it away as I could. Seems to have been a quick fix with no noticeable problems thereafter. Just found you today on KZbin. Very good video. Concise, quick, and informative. Keep it up! =)

[@nespriv]

maaaaaan you fixed my x2a !!! thank you so much !!! i confirm it works on x2a medium as well in exactly same way in my case 3 pads were not straight and one was even ripped on way where only glue left :/ i followed you step by step and voilà !! amazing tutorial, thank you.

[@speedyboy86]

great video man! I just did this little thing even after a week if owning my X2H and it feels so much better and the click is more instant I would say. Got hooked when you said the clicks are like Deathadder V3, since these have my fav clicks ever.. So I tried it out even doe I didnt had sticky clicks in the first place. Thanks again and keep posting such W content!!!

[@brando_100]

Perfect fix. Thanks. Crazy that this issue wasn’t caught in development/testing.

[@senseofpermanence]

I genuinely thought it was the switch and bought replacements lmao, but hey now I can easily fix this. Thank you!

[@obeythewalrus641]

i loved my x2h but i after i had the sticky clicks i set it aside and used other mice. thanks for giving us a easy step by step solution to fix this issue greatly appreciate it

[@ilyclassic]

this vid saved me so much hassle of returning and getting a refund, a genuine lifesaver because i lose the shape of the x2v2

this is life changer content, thanks a lot for the clear protocol!

[@frankgulfo]

my maaaan thanks for this.. just recently both the x2h medium, and i was wondering the stickiness when i first used it, and there was a double clicking feeling.. 1st time experienced for a brand new mouse, i live away from big cities and returning this for RMA will cause me much hassle.. Thanks again..

[@nch9427]

A huge thank you. I became crazy with this issue. I follow every step and now my x2h mini is fine. Thx.

[@S1L3nCe]

Thank you for this awesome guide! I just bought a Pulsar and I don't think I will need it but it's good to have it on my bookmarks, in case it develops this issue over time.

[@eizooo]

Good video, very detailed. I just got the x2h red hopefully i won't get this problem but if I do I know how to fix it already. Only thing that was a missing was a pre and post fix sound comparison but thanks for the video anyways!

[@mel0nFPS]

So some versions are patched and some aren't. I'm assuming the red, green and demon slayer collabs are patched but I don't know for sure.

[@Defury8285]

@@mel0nFPS any idea if the acid rewind is patched?

[@mel0nFPS]

@@Defury8285 No idea sadly, I haven't heard of too many issues as of late but it's hard to tell if the issue has actually been fixed.

[@isaiahjimenez4192]

This is great! Do you think masking or aluminum tape applied over the pads would work to counter the stickiness from those pads? Love the solution but not so much the added pre/post travel for the clicks.

[@mel0nFPS]

You could cover the pads with tape 100%, just make sure it’d cut to the pieces to the proper size.

[@beatprodbybrY]

You are a lifesaver, liked and subbed for your efforts.

[@pizzaforpaw]

extremely useful video, thank you bro

[@88_dre]

Thanks for this man Ill defo try to fix mine tomorrow im having this issue for 2 weeks now and my mouse is not even a month

[@TheSwiftDJ105]

I’m trying to put in one of my clicks but for some reason is has lost retention and doesn’t spring back like you say it should. What could the issue be?

[@mel0nFPS]

If the click isn't springing back, reseed the click and make sure the anchoring screw is tightened properly.

[@Shrektorr]

Just ran into this issue right now and the way I manage to fix it was by pulling out the main clicks out of the shell and grabbing both ends of a main click and lightly bending it on the opposite direction to give it the tension again. Really weird how it just instantly just got fixed just by giving it a couple light bends. Just be careful of course and not permanently bend it or break it since it's plastic of course.

[@Fatal_Error_Gaming]

Very well done melon. I love mod/fix vids. I stopped doing cable mod vids because wireless took off. Now Imma have to take my X2V2 apart and do this fix too. Hope my vid is as good as yours. Insta sub brother. Been wondering what was causing the sticky clicks. I love Pulsar. Some of my favorite mice. But man, it's like they fix one thing, the scroll wheel, and then something else pops up, sticky clicks. Sooner or later they will get it right. This will be included in my actual review of my X2V2 thanks to you. Keep up the great work man. The mouse enthusiasts world needs us. Lol. Better than rma honestly and fun too.

[@nicehugoboss]

did the fix alrdy. thanks. yes nice. i have x2v2 two of them. one of them had sticky one

[@mariachiomar81]

Does removing the pads create more pre-travel? I've seen some replace those dumb pads with foil tape. Very insightful video thanks!

[@mel0nFPS]

Technically more pre-travel but since the rubber pads are sunk into the shell there isn't a massive change, maybe 0.5mm or lower. The main difference will be the sound as there's no rubber/foam to dampen the sound.

[@Fatal_Error_Gaming]

So what if we just removed the pad on the click bars themselves and not on the bottom part? Would that stop the extra click distance? Just thinking.

[@maksonamex]

i feel like weather / humidity affects this mouse like crazy . when there is a lot humidity in my room mouse starts do whatever it wants

[@fiddadle]

The back doesn't seem to flex and open up under pressure like shown in the video on my X2H mini. Any other ideas for opening it?

[@mel0nFPS]

Sometimes the clips can be a little tough, make sure you run a nail or a pry-bar around the outside to try and release the clips.

[@fiddadle]

@PSFinally got this done, I had to pick up a spudger to get the shell open, squeezed the sides till I could fit the spudger in and went round the shell flicking it in and up towards the top. It's also worth noting, on the mini at least, the two screws for the main clicks are tiny, I had to buy a precision screwdriver set to get them out. After that it worked perfectly though. I opted for only taking out the little foam pads, not the rubber as I was only getting the crunch issue not the sticking. Interestingly, one of the foam pads had broken apart, with some of it stuck to the post on the main click. Used this as an excuse to pick up a set of superglides too, so win-win in the end. Thanks for the video! ps. the X2H mini, at least mine, is internally identical to the X2H medium in the video, including the rubber pad design.

[@RX_TXG]

glorious air review when

[@frosky1]

Approximately how long does the pulsar mouse battery last?

[@mel0nFPS]

I believe the X2H, X2A & X2V2 have a battery life of 70hrs constant movement, realistically it’ll be more around 100-120 as you’re not constantly moving your mouse around

[@nojiwon]

Amazing video!

[@Wolar94]

This worked but i have a different problem now, if i let my mouse down the buttons actuate/click on their own..

[@mel0nFPS]

Sounds like your main board is misaligned or the shell click have been over tensioned. Take the unit apart again and carefully reassemble it following the guide and it should fix your issue.

[@Wolar94]

@@mel0nFPS I got it to play nicely when i put some tinfoil ontop of the stabilizers on each click and then screw it down. When i used tissue it had alot of pre-travel but with tinfoil seems to work nicely. Thanks for the reply. Btw its for the X2H.

[@zyes]

hello, i just received a pulsar x2h medium copy (black) and i seem to have encountered a faint click after clicking mouse 1, the sound resembles a faint double click but when used, there is no double click, it is just the sound, do you think that by doing this, it would fix this issue? thanks.

[@mel0nFPS]

Could be the stabilizer releasing from the pad or it could be a defective switch. If you just got it I'd RMA it instead of voiding the warranty since you just bought it

[@TheSwiftDJ105]

could this issue be why sometimes i scope in (mainly have this issue in fortnite lol) and my gun simply wont shoot? for the longest time i thought it was a game problem but now im starting to think it actually is the mouse.

[@mel0nFPS]

Potentially, that issues sounds more like a bad switch but it could possibly be caused by an uneven dampening pad. Hard to say without looking at the unit itself.

[@ToxicCoffin]

my clicks are not going back to default position

my clicks dont work now :/ and i also lost my scroll wheel part

This did work for my bad clicks on x2h mini, but after sliding m1 and m2 back into the shell onto the stabilizers, m2 has "tension" and springs back up on its own, but m1 does not and it lays flat, m1 has tension downwards in stead. Any idea why? I've tried doing it over again 3 times but m1 still lays flat. As you mention at 11:50 @PS

@@zepremeff4349 Did you remove the rubber pads underneath the main clicks?

I removed the rubber pads and reassembled the mouse, now the clicks are extremely light to the point that the click actuates with a tiny amount of force (like slam clicking) and with close to no rebound. Has anyone had the same problem after this fix?

[@mel0nFPS]

What mouse and size do you have. Could be the click anchors are slightly too loose or installed incorrectly.

[@skateandmore]

​@@mel0nFPS X2H size 2 in white, I disassembled it earlier to readjust the clicks. But I have the feeling that it was the removal of the white rubber pads on the top of the shell that caused this. I've managed to make it function OK, but it's still very, very light to actuate.

[@Wolar94]

Same problem to me, using the pulsar x2h. I also tried putting a tissue above the stabilizers to raise the force required but it didn't work as i wanted

[@skateandmore]

@@Wolar94 I kinda fixed it by plying the plastic of the clicks to keep them as high as possible. Still they were veeeery easy to actuate, but usable at least. I sold the mouse since then.
