Our Verdict

Pulsar Xlite V2

Razer Viper V2 Pro

The Pulsar Xlite V2 and the Razer Viper V2 Pro are wireless gaming mice that weigh virtually the same. On the one hand, the Razer has a symmetrical shape, somewhat better click latency and sensor performance, and a solid plastic shell without any honeycomb cutouts. On the other hand, the Pulsar has an ergonomic, right-handed shape, and its body has honeycomb cutouts and a minimal bottom plate that contribute to keeping the mouse very lightweight.
