Our Verdict
Pulsar Xlite
GLORIOUS Model D Wireless
The Pulsar Xlite and the GLORIOUS Model D Wireless are excellent ultra-light gaming mice with right-handed shapes. The Pulsar is a wired-only model and is lighter. It also has a slightly wider CPI range. On the other hand, the GLORIOUS connects wirelessly with a USB receiver and has a dedicated CPI button behind the scroll wheel. It also has lower latency, and RGB lighting, a feature that the Pulsar lacks.
