Our Verdict

Pulsar X2V2

Razer Viper V3 Pro

The Razer Viper V3 Pro and the Pulsar X2V2 are lightweight, high-performance wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes. They weigh about the same, but the Pulsar has an open bottom plate design that leaves its inside open to dust and debris. While they both perform remarkably well, the Razer has a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz and slightly lower click and sensor latency than the Pulsar.
