Our Verdict
Pulsar Xlite
Pulsar Xlite Wireless
The Pulsar Xlite Wireless is an improved, wireless version of the Pulsar Xlite. The Xlite Wireless connects with a USB receiver, but it is only marginally heavier. It also has slightly lower click latency and has RGB lighting, which the wired Pulsar Xlite lacks entirely. Additionally, despite only needing a cable for charging, its cable is higher quality and slightly more flexible than the cable on the original, wired Pulsar. On the other hand, the original Pulsar Xlite is slightly more comfortable as it includes adhesive grip tape you can apply to the sides of the mouse.
