Our Verdict

Pulsar Xlite V2

LAMZU THORN

The LAMZU THORN and the Pulsar Xlite V2 are lightweight wireless gaming mice with right-handed shapes. The two perform similarly, but the LAMZU weighs less, partly thanks to its smaller size. It also has a solid outer shell without cutouts on the top. On the other hand, the Pulsar is bigger, so it's better suited for users with larger hands. It also has better build quality, with less flex and creaking than the LAMZU.
