l've had mine for a little over 2 months and only have a problem with the battery life (so far) Edit; I have now started to see what he meant with it scrolling up when scrolling down, and the mouse has started to double click with mb1

[@RonSwanson1]

I think they are fixing issues with each new version. my release day x2 "medium" has encoder issues (scrolling up will input a scroll down at the same time occasionally), double click issues, and my left click is getting mushy. My founders edition x2 mini is still perfect. The battery life doesn't bother me much but I keep falling back to my superlight or DAv3.

[@fuad000100]

I'm also having the left click issue. It's less 'tactile' and it's just been 2 weeks. Should I return it?

[@cadewhittlef7185]

My pulsar only lasted 2 months which is the fastest a mouse has ever died in my 30 years of pc gaming experience; disappointing considering it took two months to get it in the first place. My MM2.0 is 30 years old and still works, My IntelliMouseOptical is 27 years old and it still works. I have an original Karna boomslang 1998, still works. The first ugly blue Zowie mouse that I bought in 2009 still works perfect.

[@-kestrel00]

What happened to it? How'd it die?

[@Analyst3858]

so many people got one with a problem but i had mine for a month also and no problems so far and i get the red led when it is dying but i can agree the battery life is very bad mine dies in like 3 days of constant use

[@thomascorte3089]

Got a X2 mini first batch, mouse click was perfect for the 1 month with debounce set to 0ms. Then mouse started developing double-clicks and had to set the debounce to 4-5 ms. Also the battery is terrible when u compared to the superlight. Otherwise the shape/weight is flawless.

[@legionit6313]

Every mouse battery will be awful when compared to superlight

[@isaaclopez8888]

@@legionit6313 no but like the pulsar x2 is actually awful compared to others not only superlight, i had to charge mine every day or 2 days when its supposed to last 70 hours, i have friends that after a few months of use they have to charge it even twice a day

[@jhinvdpern947]

@@isaaclopez8888 God damn true that I have mine working about 7-10 hours I swear

[@jalleFPS]

Just ordered their new Pulsar X2 CLEAR and it seems theyve made a lot of changes. New click switches, new encoder, different coating. They seem to have been working on this mouse a lot and taking the feedback from the community. Mine hasn't arrived yet but I'm hoping they've truly fixed the problems, otherwise i guess I'll return it :/

[@kerjjn]

any update i’m thinking about getting it

[@jalleFPS]

@@kerjjn Only thing I've noticed is the left mouse click squeaks sometimes, but that is most likely an issue with mine alone, and I could send it in to get fixed if I wanted to, but its such a non-issue that I'm not bothering. Feels great, great weight to it, clear version looks amazing. They've definitely fixed up a lot of the previous issues, I'd say its equal to the superlight I switched from, and I personally prefer the x2.

[@fortunefm]

had the issue w/ the scroll wheel too, but i love it too much to replace it w/ something else. ended up just doing a complete encoder swap for something smoother along with quiet kailh m1 and m2 switches. absolutely love this thing now.

[@Veqz1]

Currently sending back my 5th x2 mini to maxgaming... All had weird issues with the left switch lmao.

[@iJansport]

Is the shape really worth buying it 5 times?

[@Veqz1]

@@iJansport yes, but also maxgaming is a scummy company. So they don't offer money back on broken items. They only replace them. OR give store credit incase the item is out of stock..

[@GFClocked]

You've made me so much happier I've decided to change my order from x2 to G LW

[@morganfreeman8230]

@@GFClocked what mouse?

[@cenaosu]

i've been using my x2 FE for a month, i have no quality control problem, also when it's at 25% the LED starts flashing red.

[@Demon09-_-]

I am hopfull they add a windows notifcation to the software. As I have a hard time seeing that red flashing led and from time to time run into a dead mouse if I have a long weekend gaming session.

[@mGs_97]

Got my x2 mini for a month now, no issues (only low battery life due to motion sync. Just turn it off when i"m not playing)

[@ryn5302]

pulsar is pathetic

[@ow_rain]

I think the mouse scroll option in the pulsar app can mess with ur scrollwheel and cause jumping. Otherwise good review

[@iamcjayy7875]

Bro idk if you're still interested in this shape but i got the Pulsar X2H and the quality control this time around is actually solid, i got a perfect copy on my 1st buy T.T aim feels so snappy fr

[@stickynotes3339]

So that is why its cheaper than the superlight because of the internal hardware quality. Rather go to superlight even though its too old.

[@tsudeno]

2 months in owning the mini and i ran into the scroll wheel issue as well as the double clicking i had to take apart my x2 to clean out the encoder to fix my scroll wheel, this lessened the issue but did not fix it for my double clicking i had to change my debounce

[@matze.]

The mouse is awesome but i have the Same Problem with the mouse Wheel and its so annoying

[@uqoF]

i returned my old one because of srool issue and have the same problem on my new one they need to upgrade the encoder

[@Mo-bz4if]

bought one for $65 from maxgaming a while ago, no qc issues and i prefer it over the superlight

[@nbsqueeps7577]

i did too, the deal looked too good to pass up

[@minriyu3269]

amazing mouse , the double click made me return it :( so i got me a gpx

[@minriyu3269]

@SinX__ issue is fixed on that mouse now,

[@lotus-fe7ek]

What's your hand size? Length and width

[@TheMostSavageOfAllGeese]

But Pulsar has a Bruce Lee edition X2 and mousepad though...🤔

[@vinspray9027]

I got that scroll wheel issue on my superlight, after a month so I return it to the store for RMA

[@benjaminruz1286]

I have my x2 for over 2 months now and it had almost every QC issues shown in the video after 1 month. Besides that my left click was double clicking so I had to open it up and fix the metal spring inside the switch itself and then tighten the screws that held the plastic button cover which solved that issue. Later my scroll wheel was jumping VERY badly to the point I would stay on the same page no matter how much I scrolled down. Opened it up and basically put a little tape in the encoder where the mouse wheel was held. Now it is working just fine with the exception of battery life but I guess that is already the batteries Pulsar've used that make it last less than competitors. But it is negligible considering the shape is amazing and has worked best for me compared to 15+ mice I have used.

[@SB-mr2nk]

turning off motionsync completely defeats the point of using it over the gpx lmao

[@Jaeky]

Not true, the shapes are completely different. Also with MotionSync on the battery lasted literally 1-2 days before it died.

[@Bohvey]

I'm glad I found this. I was just about to buy this mouse. Thanks for providing the follow up review on this. Back to searching for my end game mouse for less than $100.

[@F01L]

What mouse did you buy?

[@Bohvey]

@@F01L I settled on the Glorious Model D- wireless. It was on sale since Glorious is releasing all of their updated Model O2 and I2 mice. Thus far, I'm really happy with it. I've heard some mixed reviews on them as well but a friend of mine has the Model O and he's been really happy with it and since it was on sale, I figured, why not? I got the grip tape for it as well and I'm very glad I did. I just use the tape on the sides but it definitely makes a difference.

[@andrewwiebe1660]

I was also about to buy this as I was trying out the HyperX Pulsefire Haste but I'm going to gladly keep it over something it seems will just break

[@F01L]

@@andrewwiebe1660 yeah decided to buy the viper v2 pro instead

[@shadowsarentreal]

is it really that shit?

[@IKURO27]

I got my first razer deathhadder essential for Valo,the price is good for budget gaming mouse like 19$ in MYR80,also congrats WYSI sub

[@Relaxsajo]

I love this mouse more than gpx, dav3 pro , i use like 3 month , with 6 ms , never have issue , the battery same like dav3 pro only 4 days 8 hours in one day

[@pascal3026]

I had no problems with my clicks even on 0ms debounce but recently sent back my second x2 mini because of the scroll wheel issue :( on my first model i could fix it for a few days if i squished the ttc gold encoder together but then the scrolling got much tighter/ more clicky. Now i ordered the bruce lee edition in hope that the limited edeition has better qc because there are only 3k per model worldwide :D

[@5tature]

The scroll wheel thing happened to me on my xm1r right out of the box I fixed by opening the mouse and greasing the hell out of the wheel the scroll wheel is connected too, you can prob find a video on yt explaining more

[@andrewsmith9241]

Sold my original x2 but just pre ordered the Bruce Lee edition..hope those clicks n build quality are there.

[@Demon09-_-]

the double clicking issue should be gone if they did the opticals right. Its really the only way to avoid double clicking. The real reason it seems like a less of an issue on logitech is they are really good at replacing them as it was pretty common on the g pro and is still common on the super light to some degree.

[@curvecloud8894]

I got the red x2 mini, glad to know that mine is fine and does not have the mentioned issues except for the battery life 😂

[@fwabble]

Great video

[@imangolix7235]

Have you tried the red version? I've seen one review of it and they said it hasn't had any issues. Otherwise do you know any alternative to the pulsar2 x2 mini? Been looking for small mice with flat sides and havent found any except the x2 mini.

[@Jaeky]

I haven’t, but I saw an Amazon review of someone with the red version recording a video of their left click being squeaky. I think an alternative is the Lamzu Atlantis but I haven’t tried that mouse yet.

[@evohfps]

I got the red version for Xmas. 1 hour in my left click is squeaking

[@imangolix7235]

@@evohfps damn unlucky ig. Hows the shape compared to superlight and viper mini? Or any other mice u use if u dont have those 2

[@evohfps]

@@imangolix7235 I really like the shape. This is my second shot at the mouse since I had squeaking in batch one. I like the shape better than the super light. But now that I have modded my super light I prefer that. Never used viper mini but have used a starlight. Love the starlight. Scroll wheel jumps are too annoying and over priced tbh

[@Demon09-_-]

My red x2 mini from leathal gaming is doing pretty good so far about 1 month in.

[@GFClocked]

Bought G super light after seeing this video. I'll come back in a few years, after eventually logi will start to double click 2 days after warranty ends, again, and I'll see if this company has fixed their qc

[@etendard1114]

Mine is find IMO its a great mouse

[@hadeez7]

just qc lottery tbh , although i feel like pulsar should not overlook this.
