Our Verdict

Pulsar X2

Pulsar X2V2

The Pulsar X2V2 and the Pulsar X2 are lightweight wireless gaming mice in the same lineup. The X2V2 is newer and features an updated build that feels slightly higher quality. It also uses optical switches for its left- and right-click buttons, and it supports a 4000Hz polling rate by purchasing a separate dongle. The X2 is older, uses mechanical left- and right-click switches, and is heavier by a very small margin.
