Pulsar Xlite v3 ES + Xlite v3 Mouse Reviews (SHOCKING)

[@hvnt3r-tnt77]

I really don't understand why logitech don't release a ergo version of the g pro x it would sell like fresh bread

[@willtypes]

Ergo mice can only be SO different, human hands are still hand shaped. It’s not like there’s gonna be an enormous difference of ergo shapes like we’re making them for different animals 😂

[@Noneya5555]

Very good point. 🍻

[@kaeroseon]

But they don’t have to all be EC clones. Thumb rest, hump horizontal positions, hump tilt, groove positions, button slope angle are all things that can make an ergo more unique. Or just do the vaxee approach and take a symm and add ergo aspects to it and it will be a new ergo mouse shapes.

[@Mike220111]

I love the shape of the EC2, but I really love the Pulsar Xlite v3! It's my primary mouse now! Side note: I have used the Death Adder V3 Pro for about 9 months. There's one thing that I really keep on saying to myself: Man, I really wish Razer could make similar dimensions to the EC2, and this is why I was really excited when it came out with the Xlite v3; I didn't hesitate to place a pre-order for the es version, but I do want to try the Xlite V3, but hopefully that mico center will have it soon!

[@D0WnL0DeR]

Using the DAV3 atm, but will for sure try out the ES version in Large when that comes. I feel the same way about DAV3, which had a bit more Zowie EC shape.

[@Mike220111]

@@D0WnL0DeR The biggest disappointment I find about the Death Adder V3 Pro is that for $150, you expect the BBQ post to be top-notch, but it gets annoying when it starts creaking like an old bet mattress. Like, do better, razer, smh.

Was waiting so long for this review since I was having a huge dilemma with whichshould I chose as my next cs2/work/othergames mouse. Could not wait any longer and did order zygen np01s actually. Im more then happy with it. Now all is left is to cancel all subscriptions to boardzy, hausgaming and others cause I know me - I would buy them all. I cant. Have to keep my shit together and just don't buy more. Peace hommies, was rly nice to read u ;)

[@smoothyoda8190]

Bought the normie version. Loved it. Balled out and got the eS version. Didn't like it as much because of the balance. Went back to the non-eS. It's hard to say for sure because of the weight disparity but I think I prefer the shape of the Xlite over the EC2, as well.

[@jasonjennings8465]

I'd get the regular version of this and the Es version of the X2H coming out. Really like that mouse.

[@DJaquithFL]

I'd like to see more Ambi's hit the market and compete against the GPX stagnation.

[@Leon-nm1ce]

i have heard like 2 people say that the standard xlite v3 has better coating for sweatier hands compared to the ES, do u agree with that?

[@boardzy]

I dont notice the standard coating feeling being better performance wise but it definitely picks up less sweat/oils. The ES coating doesnt have enough rubbery feeling/grip like the OP1we to justify the aesthetic downgrade imo

[@Leon-nm1ce]

Okay sounds good thanks for the answer :D@@boardzy

[@ckayza]

Wow, this Pad you are testing on is amazing. :O

[@sNiPeR95PwnZ]

eS editon seems so gimmicky to me. No E-Sport Player needs to adjust settings on the fly. You just set one and go with it. Instead of this stupid screen i was hoping for a super solid and super reinforced aka reliable version.

I just bought the Deathadder V3 and I'm not in love with the shape. I'm a palm guy and I feel like the right side of the mouse needs to be flatter and higher. I'm trying to decide do I go with the Zowie, Pulsar or Lamzu event though they are all close in comparison as your review states. Would love to have all them to review for myself :)

[@jackforryan5739]

As an ergo user coming from the ec2-cw (felt off for some reason) would you recommend the xlite v3 es over the standard xlite v3?

[@boardzy]

Unless youre looking for a lighter mouse yeah, I think the es is much closer to zowie feeling

[@osaaaaaaaaa]

Hey should I get the pulsar x2v2 mini? I’ve been hearing good things and bad things and was wondering if it was a worthy purchase for games like fortnite, valorant etc

[@firestorm47]

seems to be some variation with the xlite's opticals, i cant tell any difference in actuation force between my xlite v3 base and ec2-c

[@Albert-pr5ec]

Hey Boardzy Loved the Vid. I was just wondering if you have any recommendations for mice similar to the roccat kone pure ultra shape. I have 17x9.5cm hands and am not sure what ergos would be good for me. My fingers are clawed up but I do have palm contact.

[@boardzy]

There is truly nothing similar, but its rumored they have a wireless version coming soonish

[@shdxw7025]

what's the best ec3-c clone? this xlite v3 is too big and the mini version will release in q1 2024. ergo market is kinda stalling tbh

If I got either one of these mice, would my hand size fit ? 19x10cm hands and I’ve been on my zowie s2 for almost 4 years until recently I got the viper V2 Pro and it’s been a good fit but these mice look so fucking good and so clean too. I love the look, shape, and the little screen too. Would it fit my hands ?

[@aggroyt5371]

Wish they would revamp the Kone pro air to something more performance, still my fav ergo shape

[@boardzy]

Roccat is trolling at this point

[@ekomsable]

im trying to find something to replace the Kone pro air with but i just cant, the shape is too good. I just got my xlite v3 but the hump on it (and most other ergo mice) is just too big

[@aggroyt5371]

@@ekomsable the only one I’ve liked a lot so far in terms of ergos id the vaxee outset ax wireless so far, the overall size is smaller so it makes that bigger hump not feel as bad. An updated Kone pro air would be nice to have tho

Im one of those few people, hoping Corsair might actually come out with a competitive option. Would you have any interest in checking out some of their newer options like the M75 Air? 60g wireless mouse with a new shape (for them)

[@Ziiiko]

I bought quite a few Corair products i wouldn't recommend them to anyone not that they are horrible performance wise but atrocious build quality i had two wireless headset they both just broke down after not so much use

[@timmackinnon]

@Ziiiko You know. I snagged the Katar Elite on sale for dirt cheap, and I don't regret it. Everyone says they're shit and to be fair I'm sure its not a top tier option by any means but I think its decent. At 68g its not the lightest egg on the market, but it doesn't bother me. I actually prefer the shape over my old Orochi v2 and I haven't had any issues with the wireless yet.

[@wisetone]

Does clicks on xlite v3 feel better than the Bruce Lee edition of the X2?

[@hanzo2979]

Just got this mouse for 75 USD on an open box sale from a local distributor here in the PH, I hope this would fit my hand better than my Model D

[@__Avail]

So, do you like it?

[@NoName-mf1un]

Model D is such an amazing shape I am really stuck between v3 and the model d 2 pro

[@Desmond987]

For smaller or "normal" handsize this release is kinda meh and too basic. But for extra large hands this is phenomenal since EC1 is only competitive large ergo mouse for us and its heavy as fuck with some older tech aswell. Hoping the large version will be released soon.

[@soloccidit]

I fit pretty firmly into that extra large hands group (9" from palm to finger tip and 5" across the palm. Or 22.86 by 12.7 cm). I have had so much trouble finding a mouse that comfortably fits my hand and isn't a brick, so I'm really excited for this. I've never used any of the zowie shapes (or any ergo mouse other than a gen 1 deathadder and a g502) but I think this might be the move.

These things are so subjective. You say the clicks are horrible, another KZbinr says they’re among the best they’ve tried.

My favorite mouse after being through about ten (including the DAv3 Pro an other “big names”) is one you rated as “trash”.
