* Wait a minute before reading the review! It will be more helpful if you imagine the length of your hand reading the review and then compare it with me reviewing 🙂
High-spec mice that usually come with gaming titles are designed for users with a hand size of 17cm or larger. This is because most companies categorize ~17cm as small, 17~19 as medium, and 19~ as large, collecting big data of mouse users and making a mouse the size where most users are located. Even here, the important point is that although the classification of medium starts from 17cm, users under 18cm often feel, ‘Well, it seems a little big?’ when using a medium-sized mouse.
Also, the size of these mice seems to fit Westerners. It’s partly because Westerners have a bigger skeleton than us, and if you look back on the size of the Xbox 360 pad, it’s definitely bigger on average, so it’s often too big for Korean users to use.
So, no matter how nice and good a mouse is, even if it comes out as a new product, those who have used a mouse for a while and those with small hands often wait with tears in their eyes ‘when will the small mouse come out’. In the case of Razer’s Demini and Barmini, which are called wired national small mice, there are many people waiting for the wireless release.
The click part that remains too much even if I try to use it with a palm grip, I did it by aiming quickly, but my hand was a pitiful hamster hanging on a huge hill. Using a shell that doesn’t fit your tired hands can even lead to fatigue. It is a mouse that I use to work comfortably and play games, but I have to use it at the expense of discomfort. It really doesn’t make sense.
And here’s a little-known Korean company. Rather, it is a more famous company abroad. However, in Korea, the company is only used by people who know it. That’s Pulsa.
The mouse we are reviewing today is the Pulsa Xlite v2. I was tired of the mouse journey to find so many little mice so far, so I carefully asked Pulsar for help with the review, and thankfully Pulsar provided the mouse. And aside from all these things, today’s review… It’s also regarding the mouse that left the review and made graduation a success.
Let’s start the review with packaging as the first button.
# Simple packaging and components
The packaging of the pulsar was very simple. Starting with the exterior design of the box, complex specifications and miscellaneous phrases are written to a minimum as if only the simple information, ‘This is a mouse,’ is strongly appealed.
This is a miniature perforated mouse from Pulsa. But with wireless. You can intuitively know what kind of mouse this is at a glance. It just means simple.
When you open the box, the body of the mouse immediately catches your eye, and when you remove the plastic structure at the bottom following removing the mouse, various components, Xlite stickers, and instructions are included. It was obviously a pure white box, but when I opened the box, a cool blue inlay appeared on the side, which was a good feeling. It’s like a cool pocari.
The main components are the mouse body, 3.0 & C type extension cables, and a type c gender and a 2.4hz dongle that can be plugged into the gender. It is a very simple configuration, but surprisingly, the quality and design of the cable and dongle are very good. QC was great too.
In particular, since the cable is made of para-coat material, it is very light and can be used by minimizing the inconvenience of the cable even when using it as a wired cable. Also, the pulsar logo engraved on the gender where the dongle is plugged in is pretty, and when used with an extension cable, you can get a very neat feeling.
Above all, sometimes there was a gap by making a cable, a conversion gender, or a dongle roughly, and there was a lot of play compared to a mouse. It was of great quality.
* You can see what the terminals of each component look like. (Mouse Type C, Cable Type C, Gender C to 3.0, Dongle 3.0)
* In actual use, you can connect the dongle to the conversion gender and connect the conversion gender to the C-type cable to use it wirelessly.
In order to show more intuitively how to use the components, we also took additional photos. As you can see in the picture, it is pure white that matches the color of the mouse.
It supports a low-power 2.4Ghz wireless/wired connection with minimal delay, so you can connect it anywhere.
Now let’s take a closer look at the shell and functional parts of Xlite v2 mini.
* Length 117mm, Width 64mm, Height 40mm
# Shell and features of the Xlite v2 mini
ⓐ The first thing that catches your eye is the shape of the perforation applied in a slightly unusual way. It is perforated in the shape of a line, not a typical honeycomb perforation.
In general, when the honeycomb perforation is touched, the feeling of opening a hole is vividly conveyed, but in the case of the Xlite v2 mini, the feeling of being perforated is less, so there is not much difference in feeling.
ⓑ The fact that it is connected with the perforation is that this mouse is light. In fact, the Xlite v2 mini weighs in at 55 grams, which is extremely light. When you hold the mouse and move it on the pad, the word ‘really light’ comes out right away. In addition, you can see that some of the side parts are perforated and some are not, so the inconvenience is minimized when gripping.
ⓒ And with this minimized weight, the mouse’s center of gravity is also perfect. In fact, if you use a mouse, even if you like the shell, the center of gravity can be annoying, but Pulsar seems to have paid a lot of attention. I really liked it.
ⓓ The height of the wheel and the area of the side buttons are designed to be easy to press, and the overall design is really neat despite the perforated mouse. Also, in the case of the coating, the soft feel of the hand was excellent, and although I haven’t used it for a long time yet, I don’t think you need to worry regarding discoloration easily.
ⓔ And in the case of buttons, there is no separate DPI setting button for side, left click, right click, and wheel. You can check it right below, but since there is no button at the bottom, you have to press[Left Click + Side Button + Click Wheel Button]at the same time for 3 seconds or more to change the DPI saved on the onboard or use the software. Similarly, in the case of LED, you can turn it on or off by pressing[Right click + Side button down + Wheel button click]at the same time for 3 seconds or longer.
It may be a little inconvenient as it is a part to save weight, but since it is not common to change the DPI every time, it seems that we can move on to a small abandonment for weight.
Here’s what you can see from the outside. To put it simply, ⓐ there is little sense of heterogeneity even though it is perforated ⓑ Very light with a weight of 55g ⓒ Very good center of gravity ⓓ The coating feels pleasant ⓔ The peculiarity of the DPI setting 🙂
If you look at the lower part, you can see the white pits, and the sensor and the board are visible between the pits. It can be seen that they tried to reduce the weight as much as possible by drilling a hole up to this side.
ⓐ In the case of pits, the original thin (0.6mm) pits are attached, and although this has been said by various communities, there is no need to replace them with other pits because the quality of the basic pits is excellent. There was no swelling of the feet, and the feet slide smoothly. If you want to change it to a different pit, you can replace it with a Super Glide pit sold by Pulsar, and you can have a pretty fit.
ⓑ Lower your gaze slightly and look at the sensor in the middle of the pit. The sensor included in the Xlite v2 mini wireless is the PAW3370 sensor. ‘Please don’t put cheap sensors in high-end models!’ It is a much better 3370 sensor than the 3335, which has been criticized for a long time. It supports 400 IPS speed, 50g acceleration, 20000 programmable DIP and 1000hz / 1ms polling rate. 20K is the latest sensor.
If you just say this, you can say, ‘Is it just good?’, but in my experience of using a mouse with various PAW3370 sensors, there was a difference depending on what the manufacturer was aiming for. And this is usually called ‘manufacturer’s sensor tuning’.
In general, the tuning of the 3370 sensor aiming at high performance is “battery time is reduced, but there is almost no skipping of the sensor”, and the tuning of the 3370 sensor aiming at low power that considers battery time is “battery time is long, but the sensor’s There is sometimes a skip phenomenon.” The Xlite v2 mini is oriented towards the latter. As a result, sensor skips sometimes occur. Let’s take a look through the geekbar test below.
This is an image of a sensor skip test with DPI of 400, 800, 1600, and 3200, respectively. Simply put, if the spacing between the dots is constant, there is no skip, and if the spacing between the dots is uneven, there is a slight skip.
As you can see, in the case of the Xlite v2 mini, you can see a slight skipping phenomenon. However, speaking from experience, it is difficult to say that a low level of skip is a negligible level of skip, so it is difficult to see that it has any effect on actual use. In fact, if you test the 3335 with low-power wireless mice, you will be surprised by the dizzying difference in spacing.
As a result of checking through actual use, the skip was not enough to affect the aiming of the FPS game, and you can use it with confidence because even pros are using it. In addition, it cannot be said that it is a pity because it has secured 70 hours of battery life instead of slightly giving up the sensor skip.
ⓒ It is a part hidden by the board, but in the case of the switch, Kyle GM8.0 switch is included. The click feel is very clear and clean, and the durability is stronger than the Omron switch, so I was very satisfied.
No matter how good a mouse is, if it double-clicks or the switch breaks easily, it hurts my heart. In the case of Kyle GM8.0 switch, you can rest assured that 80 million clicks are guaranteed.
# It’s a pity to review only this much, actual use with grip tape!
Since I had no intention of ending it with simple pure use, I also purchased and pasted the ultra-thin grip tape for Xlite sold on the Pulsar website. This grip tape is a very thin tape with a thickness of 0.5mm and the material is polyurethane.
As a result, it feels really, really, incredibly good. Because the thickness of the mouse is thin, there is no feeling that the mouse is significantly different, and the touch is good, so it is possible to use the mouse comfortably without slipping when moving it.
The thing that I felt the most while using it was that ‘this mouse is a real hit for small hands’.
As I said at the very beginning of the review, my hands measure 16-16.3 cm from wrist to middle finger. When I held this mouse, it felt like it was being held gently with the palm grip, and in this state, it was really good to use it while going back and forth with the palm claw. When I looked at the hand holding the mouse, it felt like it was being wrapped around my hand, and it looked like sushi made by a sushi craftsman delicately. It’s very comfortable and means it’s comfortable to hold while covering most of all areas.
As a result, compared to the death adder mini and prime mini wireless that I am using, it was just the middle size. no see. So what regarding the Xlite v2 mini wireless? It was the perfect mouse for palm and palm claws.
A mouse that can comfortably handle the grip I was most looking for, combining the advantages of the palm that suppresses the mouse shaking and the advantage of the claw that enables quick flicking. As I was writing the review out of curiosity, I became a graduation mouse.
If you have small hands, all I can say is, just use it unconditionally. Really good.
In the case of a lion living with you who has a hand size of 19cm or more, you use it with a finger grip, and the shell feels really good, so you are considering a regular version rather than a mini. If you have big hands, it would be good if you hold the regular version instead of the mini version with a claw or finger.
# End of review
Pulsar Xlite v2 mini wireless… I use so many mini wireless mice, and I’m like, ‘Why is it mini but it’s so big..?’ It was a really special mouse for me, who suffered from ‘what the hell is this weight?’
ⓐ The build quality (perforation, center of gravity, etc.) is excellent ⓑ Rechargeable wireless that can be used for 70 hours ⓒ The sensor is usable, and ⓓ The design is beautiful in its pure white. Most of all, I was really happy to be able to hold it so perfectly in my hand.
I use it at work, and I am impressed while using it while playing games. In Korea, there are a lot of people who don’t know regarding Pulsar, and it seems that foreigners are passionate regarding it. It’s really good. For small hands, it is a special mouse like a rope that came down from the sky.
I’m really excited to hear that Pulsar is also releasing a symmetrical, non-perforated mini wireless mouse soon. I’ve always had failures while using dozens of mice, but this time I met a graduation level beyond a great success. If you have small hands and are experiencing trial and error in choosing a high-end wireless gaming mouse, we recommend that you try it at least once.
We conclude this review in anticipation of many Pulsa products coming out in the future.
