Our Verdict

Pulsar Xlite V2

Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro

The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro and the Pulsar Xlite V2 are wireless gaming mice with similar right-handed shapes best suited for larger hands using a claw or palm grip. Both mice offer similar, outstanding gaming performance and weigh virtually the same. However, the Pulsar has perforations in its body to lighten its weight, while the Razer has a solid plastic body. Additionally, the Pulsar uses mechanical switches, while the Razer uses optical switches and has a significantly longer battery life.
