We've renamed this review as the Pulsar X2 to better match the advertised product name. The review has been updated to reflect this change. Simple but not simpler.” We kept this in mind all the time when we designed X2 structure. We designed a structure as simple as possible but maintained its durability. In the result, you are getting high performance gaming mouse that is lighter than the egg in your hand. Despite its light weight of 52g, the Pulsar X2 Mini feels very solid in my hand. There is no rattle heard when shaking the mouse horizontally, but I do hear slight rattling when shaking it up/down. When applying pressure on the shell of the mouse, I don’t hear any creaking of the plastic. The side buttons still feel mushy and pretty cheap, and while there is no noticeable pre- or post travel these can still be improved by a lot. When you're looking to switch out your skates, you’ll need to choose replacements that fit your specific model of mouse due to each mouse having a different layout on its base where the skates are installed. The exception being brands who use the same mouse chassis for multiple models, but that will be mentioned on the skates product description.
We've converted this review to Test Bench 1.5. This update adds a new Main Button test group, which provides button actuation data and switch information. We've also made minor changes to how we calculate the Office usage score. For more details, you can see our full changelog here. As for battery life, the Pulsar X2 Mini is rated at 70 hours per full charge. I got about 2-3 weeks of use before seeing the battery indicator flash red. Conclusion Equipped with the PixArt’s LATEST FLAGSHIP PAW3395 sensor capable of 650 IPS, 50g acceleration, 26,000 programmable DPI and 1000hz / 1ms polling rate. This is the highest performance optical Gaming mouse sensor. Ultralight weight below 60grams without the perforation. Equipped with the latest flagship 26K sensor. Lag-free 2.4Hz wireless technology. Shape that is delightfully comfortable. With a little preparation and some simple steps, you can enjoy better control and performance like the pros.
Features
The sensor is a PixArt PAW3395 sensor which I do not think matters as much as people want it to. As a low sensitivity player (52cm/360) I have found no issues using this mouse at a polling rate of 1000hz on a variety of mousepads in a plethora of games and even though it has motion sync, I also do not think it matters all that much. I have used the mouse with it enabled ever since Pulsar updated their firmware. I won’t talk about the firmware since it is not something that is needed to use this mouse. The wireless implementation on the mouse is just as good as a wired mouse in terms of latency/ delay/ lag. In my use cases, the mouse does not seem to have any connectivity issues with the receiver located at the top end of my mousepad. Since it is a wireless mouse it has a battery rated at 70 hours and despite there being mice advertised with much longer battery lives, I don’t think its an issue that the X2 Mini is only rated at 70 hours. I only charge it when I remember to and haven’t experienced it dying on me mid game since the side dpi button flashed red when it is close to death. You can use the spudger or knife on its own without using the hairdryer, especially if you're unsure of how long to heat the feet up by. This may leave traces of glue on the bottom of the mouse however, which will need to be removed before attaching the new mouse feet. As I said before, there are no holes on the sides of this mouse. Pulsar has removed those because a lot of people dislike the feeling those holes give you while gripping the mouse, so it’s a logical design choice, but just as with the regular sized Xlite V2 there are still some holes near the top of the shell. With this being a smaller mouse I personally still feel the holes on both sides when gripping the mouse normally. On the regular version I don’t feel them with my thumb, but here I do due to the shorter length (and overall size) of the Mini, so for me the solid portions on the sides of this mouse are a bit useless, but that might just mean that my hands are too big for this mouse. Still, it’s something to note if you dislike the feeling of holes. You can either use it wirelessly or wired without the lag. Using the latest MCU and algorithm, it provides wire-free, consistent connectivity with a stable 1 ms report rate. Combining with Pixart’s flagship low-power sensor, it also allows the mouse to have an outstanding 70 hours battery life. Comes with the next generation receiver and receiver 2.4Ghz adapter.
First came the fire and then the wheel. Humans have on several occasions in history changed the way we live our lives, and the way we see the world. Now it has happened again, Pulsar launches their new mouse X2 and X2 Mini!
X2 Series Mouse Shape
Once you have your replacement mouse skates in hand, it's now time to remove your old ones from the base of the mouse. There are a few different methods to do this, but we’ll cover the main, most reliable method (in our opinion): Be careful when using the hairdryer too, as you want to avoid overheating the mouse, which can cause damage to your mouse (plastic melting or warping) and also cause injury to yourself, so proceed with caution.
Great Deal
