Our Verdict

GLORIOUS Model D

Pulsar Xlite

The GLORIOUS Model D and the Pulsar Xlite are both excellent ultra-light gaming mice. The GLORIOUS has a more flexible cable and a slightly lower click latency. It also has RGB lighting, which the Pulsar lacks. On the other hand, the Pulsar is lighter and feels sturdier. It also has a wider CPI range, a more precisely adjustable CPI, and a lower lift-off distance. Both mice are almost universally well-suited for all grip types and hand sizes.
