Our Verdict

Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro

Pulsar Xlite V3

The Pulsar Xlite V3 and the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro are high-performance wireless gaming mice with similar right-handed shapes. The Pulsar is slightly lighter than the Razer but has a baseplate design that leaves its interior open to dust and debris. The two mice have very similar performance, and while both Razer and Pulsar sell additional dongles that support higher polling rates, Razer's HyperPolling dongle supports a higher polling rate of 8000Hz. Pulsar's 4K dongle only supports a 4000Hz polling rate.
