Our Verdict

Pulsar X2V2

Pulsar X2H v3

The Pulsar X2H v3 and the Pulsar X2V2 are lightweight wireless gaming mice from the same lineup. The X2V2 has a flatter shape that's well suited for all grip types, whereas the X2H v3 has a higher rear hump and a cinched midsection that's optimized specifically for claw grip. The X2V2 has slightly better sensor performance, but it's not noticeable in-game.

    I think the newest firmware should reduce the motion latency further
