Testing Another YouTuber's Mouse - Pulsar X2 RFP Edition

[@zedk9137]

Not to mention the difference in weight of the mice impacts the test considering basic physics ... Edit: It seems that I hadn't considered the increased static resistance force of friction due to the mice weighing more, I blame my teachers telling me to consider the force of friction negligible at different slope angles...

[@jacobbailey2950]

@@zedk9137 And how used each mouse was

[@hedgechasing]

@@zedk9137 no, that is literally something you learn with the most basic understanding of physics. Two objects will fall at the same rate regardless of their weight. The only factor in this test is coefficient of friction between the surfaces. If you do the math the weight term cancels out completely.

[@OrbitalGirl]

@@zedk9137 well, not entirely. The weight of the mouse affects the force of gravity pulling the mouse down the pad and the force of friction holding it up. The only difference between the two forces is the affect of the angle on the force (sine vs cosine term) and the frictional coefficients of the mouse feet. Thus reducing the force balance to g*(cos(Theta)-n*sin(Theta)=a

[@loldoctor]

@@Dr2Chainz It has the potential to be one of the most important things to happen to this corner of consumer technology in a very long time. PC gaming manufacturers have worse than Apple in terms of peddling overpriced, underperforming products (cough cough Dell cough cough) and Companies like Razer, Logitec, etc etc are all benefiting from selling "pro" or "high-performance" peripherals to consumers who have no way of testing that performance except their own subjective experience. There are companies that do third-party testing of this hardware, but they don't publish their results. And most people wouldn't be able to make sense of them anyway, if they even bothered to read up on their new mouse or keyboard or gaming mat. Having an easily-digestible but rigorously-researched video that discusses the quality in an objective manner is (pardon the pun) game-changing.

It's freakishly difficult to even see where the obvious Return on Investment even is with Labs... which makes it so much cooler in context. Seasonic sponsoring the Chroma psu tester video...the 3d rendering of a keyboard for testing methodology before a robot arm clicks away... the ?50k$ headphone test dummy... anechoic chamber... The labs staff costs, the building... it's seriously insane just what level of investment Linus is getting into, yet I also know how much of it involves Yvonne actually doing the maths.. and I'm all in.

[@vocassen]

​@@Jehty_ If they did a formal lab test, they'd do it with angles, just way more reliable. And here, better to show visually, IMO. Need to get a balance between information and presentation, and for that, it's fine. Optimally they show some angles on their mat (as a standard between tests), that'd be best.

[@louiecastle462]

​@@vocassen I disagree - the test in the video is just a test of how much friction is required to move the mouse, and not how much is required to keep moving. (i.e. static vs kinetic friction). It's possible that another mouse feels smoother despite it being the last to slide, since static friction != kinetic friction. It's a nice visual test, but a tad misleading.

[@woobilicious.]

​@@louiecastle462 static friction is literally the worse thing for shooting tho, especially on high sense you're constantly shifting to a static position and moving the small amounts required to aim effectively is impossible with the energy release from static.

[@vinvin4884]

Very interesting commentary on the Glorious product line. As an early adopter of Glorious for both my keyboard and mouse (O wireless & GMMK TKL Keyboard), it's disappointing to hear. I ran with Glorious because they initially offered a very reasonably priced entry point into the enthusiast keyboard scene, I loved the ergonomics of their mice, and they had reasonably positive reviews. I've personally never had any software problems aside from difficulty upgrading the firmware of their mice. I think my next mouse will probably be a superlight, because it just doesn't seem like it offers competitive enough results when compared to other mice in the category. I think randomfrankp not noticing a difference when using the model O2 wireless is more attributable to how little a difference you actually notice. The differences might look big on paper, but unless you're a competitive player, you probably won't notice a difference. I think it does speak to his integrity as a reviewer, because he could have framed Glorious in a completely different light for his own gain.

[@willwunsche6940]

@@Montisaquadeis DPI varriation isn't just testing different DPI. It's a measurement of how inaccurate DPI settings are per mouse due to the distance of the sensor from the mousepad. Some high end $150 mice might have 800dpi setting actually be like 760dpi or 815dpi etc. Basically only a few mice are accurate in being close to the exact dpi. While DPI varriation doesn't change the accuracy of things it is the reason you can't copy pro players mouse settings for games like Overwatch, it simply doesn't work unless you have the exact same mouse as them. Two $150 mice at the same DPI and in game sensitivity can have up to a 30% difference in actual sensitivity easily

[@willwunsche6940]

@@Peppeppukii Fun fact high DPI is actually a competitive advantage. It's especially important/underknown in shooters like Overwatch or Apex Legends. It's always better to have 1600 DPI with half your normal sens than 800 DPI with your normal sens. Old advice used to falsely say the opposite but now we know better. It heavily reduces the latency and increases the accuracy of micro-adjustment tracking specifically. Larger sweeping mouse movements latency/accuracy are unchanged where it basically doesn't matter. OptimumTech has a great video on it titled "Why gamers are switching to high DPI." While there are diminishing returns the higher you go like refresh rate, higher DPI is always better. 1600 (or even 3200) being the sweet spot for most, 800 DPI is significantly worse, 400 DPI is a massive disadvantage. And I am not talking about sensitivity, in game sens can be adjusted with DPI to make the same sens in game.

@@Montisaquadeis check my above two comments. I had the same thing. I am into competitive high level overwatch.

Honestly, really enjoying Labs data in the LTT videos. The testing methodology here is so much better than just "yeah they all feel pretty good". Excited to see what else is cooking up in there!

[@francistheodorecatte]

I bought a Pulsar X2 (non-mini) over the Logitech G Pro Superlight after Ali from Optimum Tech reviewed it a couple of months ago, and damn, I absolutely love it. Also, pretty sure the TTC Gold/Yellow scroll wheel encoders are one in the same, so the scroll wheel encoder is unchanged from the regular X2, and the Huano Blue Shell Pink Dot switches are similar enough to the Kailh GM8.0 switches the regular X2 uses, that the paint (and the extra grams of weight therein) is all you're really getting out of this edition of the mouse, lol.

[@nickfosley2882]

For anyone who stumbles upon reading this comment, Huano Blue Shell Pink Dot and Kailh 8.0's do not feel that similar for me personally. I enjoy Huano Blue Shell Pink Dots way more.

[@11202]

@@nickfosley2882 switches matter. What matters more is the implementation of it into the mouse and how the mouse itself is designed. No switch feels the same across mice. It will have consistent characteristics compared to one another but not to the point of actually determining how it performs

[@nickfosley2882]

​@@11202 He's comparing the x2 to itself, so same shell. I see where you're coming from, but that doesn't apply here. The pink dots feel way better in my humble opinion.

[@nickfosley2882]

and before anyone freaks out, It's just my opinion. I own both the X2 red, and the X2 RFP. I feel like the RFP version is worth getting your hands on if you have the option between the two. Because it has had incremental updates since the release of the original X2. RFP has a better coating, slightly raised mouse buttons, and smoother scrolling(preference). The original comment was trying to insinuate that it wasn't worth getting and it's basically the same, but there's clear differences(whether for better or worse).

[@Dorlan2001]

This goes to show how credible are LMG as an organization and I'm truly excited for the Labs to get up and running. Thanks Linus!!

[@chungushimself3712]

THANK YOU!!! I have been a HUGE fan of Glorious. As I’ve had the Model D and D-, the TKL GMMK, and even got the mousemat. I ofc in fanboi fashion, got the O2 wireless recently. And I’ve had NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH USING IT IN 2.4. Like horrible stuttering and frame skipping. I’m SUPER disappointed in them. As my Model D was perfect. Good thing I still got it. Still, imma just get something altogether new.

[@JTree]

I think that boardzy had huge input into his pulsar x2 that launched the same day. Then rfp just affirmed and went with the same. Boardzy would have 100 percent influenced and worked with the pulsar team. Same mouse, same specs, but he is an internals to externals reviewer who cares A LOT about what goes into any mouse.

[@PunzL]

It's absurd that the focus of this video is entirely RandomFrankP when it should be Pulsar, you know, the manufacturer of the mouse??? Also absurd is how they didn't touch on any other pulsar product - not even the other Pulsar X2 collabs which have had more influence on the actual internals and design of the mouse. RandomFrankP's collab is basically just a reskin of Boardzy's

[@CaptnKrksNippls]

Calm down he chose the color and switches stop acting like he engineered the mouse from the ground up.

[@JTree]

@@CaptnKrksNippls yeah but rfp I HIGHLY DOUBT had any influence on anything but his colour. I'm just saying.

[@Blaster_Unity_UB]

I can't stress enough, how good the match between the mouse & Linus' shirt is, considering the fact that both were made completely isolated from each other & have no connection with each other. A lucky & happy Co incidence

[@Orange-iq3xb]

Meanwhile me with a 5 dollar Ali express mouse

[@Niflheimrr_EL]

The drag race feels more about weight to friction ratio. Doesn't the lightest mouse moving later but not last actually mean it's good?

[@Uryftw]

I bought one myself and my unit came with some tactile pretravel that I have never seen before in a gaming mouse. So make sure to take a proper look at your units once you receive them as QC might not be the best.

[@allenellisdewitt]

3:03 I think you skipped over "Who the hell is Frank?"

[@TheOneThreeFour]

A mouse review with immense precision in specs is great, the labs are paying off already now that you guys have become a definitive good source for mouse reviews Hope you guys start investigating some of the weird exotic mice like G Wolves stuff next

[@noth606]

Wut? Mouse reviews are NOT what I go to LTT for, it's such a trivial thing - use what you like. I use a logitech G9X with the 'speedgrip' or whatever it's called, fits me, it's light(most custom weights removed) and precise enough. But I don't know or care if anyone else would like my mouse, nor does it matter.

[@Som1.]

I've had a Pulsar X2 for a couple months and I LOVE it, light and the software is suitable for my needs.

[@dnsjtoh]

Same. I’ve only had one issue, and it was because my Bluetooth driver was 7 years out of date.

[@TheDisturbed0ne1]

Pulsar is my favorite mouse brand, glad it's getting some more recognition!

[@marctinskuplais4419]

Sliding test. Assuming both have the same friction against mousepad. Heavier will always start to slide sooner. So that test can be performed only against same weight.

[@CaptnKrksNippls]

As others have stated this is hardly a mouse designed by him or any other youtuber collab. What switches do you want and what color? That is the extent of their input. Wow I chose my car color and what tires went on it, I practically engineered the whole thing!

[@JakeP.90]

dude, calm down its just not that serious ffs

[@hippieduck]

"Co-branding" is the term you're looking for. Nothing more, nothing less.

[@goldeneagle398]

[@Gummylongtail]

You should really be testing this against something like Lamzu Atlantis, or the Endgame XM1r even the superlight which retails for about 100 now

Xm1r is dated, xm2we would have been a more apt comparison. But I agree, should have been comaired to some kf the other smaller brands putting up mice in this price bracket

[@pcmasterracetechgod5660]

@@xhydrax5320 They have a lack of knowledge even in PC parts lol.. it hurts seeing them post a video where somebody from their team puts together a PCPP list and it's just not optimized at all. I can always put together a better build while coming in cheaper 100% of the time

[@Uufda651]

I have small hands, and I'm not a huge gamer so I love a particular Tecknet mouse. Forward and back, the dongle that stores in it, undo redo buttons, clicky, and it's only like $10, $15. Perfect mouse to keep in my bag for on the go.

[@lmperioz]

I liked this video, but I would've liked if they added a cheap wireless mouse to the testing to see how differently it compares. G305 for example, which is around $30 in UK, compared to the $100 for the others

[@Mothomancer]

I'm personally not a huge fan of the lighter mice, they're amazing for flicks but as someone with very shaky aim I find that slightly heavier mice paired with aftermarket skates help my aim considerably more. I've bought the g305 + orochi v2, and after picking up the Rival 3 wireless on sale I can definitely say that the Rival 3 is my most preferred as it fits my grip style a bit better due to the rounded backside and increased weight.

[@patpat1354]

My pulsar v2 wireless died after 2 months of use. They said “shit happens” and don’t respond to my emails, lol.

[@darylgraham4313]

How many of each mouse did they test in order to verify they didn't just get a damaged or defective one?

[@iosonoi.7132]

they ordered 60 of each and spend a $200,000 in total cost for the mice and the hours of testing his employees put in, all just for this KZbin video because its practical.

[@DanielFerreira-ez8qd]

enough to write that off as a possibility.

[@darylgraham4313]

@@iosonoi.7132 I think just a latency test on a second one of the abnormal one would have been good. They continually spend way too much effort doing too many tests of what essentially amounts to anecdotes.

[@mattcarlin2873]

Pulsar is pretty well known in the competitive gaming/esports space, and the X2 considered a good mouse, so this doesn't come as a surprise to me. hausgaming is a good YT channel for lots of mouse reviews.

[@wolfgangkoeppen52]

The fact that the Lab has so much potential, and with the challenging the industry standard of "trust me bro, its 0.1ms refresh rate at 500nits" and putting pressure on other sites to be more truthful (looking at you RTings), it will be labels that sat LTT LABS on them that'll sell products, not VESA

[@MadRC]

Who spotted the reference to spec Linus saying CPI instead of DPI 😂. Overall this is an off the scale video from a production value point of view. Honestly this is next level for LTT.
