Pulsar Gaming Gears - Xlite v3 Wired Gaming Mouse

best is subjective, its between deathadder v3 pro/wired, hyperspeed(mini), superlight dex, ec2-dw, pulsar xlite v3/4, and maybe even np-01s. it depends on your handsize and gripstyle

I personally would go Zowie since they have more options but again it’s def subjective. Zowie has a questionnaire that could give you a better idea for what mouse to choose from their lineup. Just to let you know it often shows the DW version as suggestion but there is always the C version which is wired and cheaper.  Also if the website ever recommends you Zowie ec2-C, go with pulsar xlite v3 wired, it has a similar shape and is much lighter

Xlite v3/v4 if if you want a longer and wider mouse than the xlite v2 mini it is also has a taller hump. Now for a back hump ergo teevolution terra, pulsar x3 / mini, pulsar zywoo medium / mini, lamzu thorn (or you can wait for the new model of Thorn which some said it's bigger than the current thorn), outset ax.

Yeah if you palm grip or you can try the ec3-dw or xlite v3/v4/cl mini, the op18k is too small and not the best for palm unless you have baby hands

The gpx clones can work for palm but imo not ideal so I recommend a medium size ergonomic mouse like the Atk z1, rawm er21, xlite v3 medium wired, dav3 hyperspeed it's a $100 mouse but good quality the other mice are cheaper and almost have a similar quality to the razer.

Pulsar XLite wired is my current fave after using a wired Model D for two ish years

I just got a pulsar xlite wired. Very happy with it.

The modern day clone for the Logitech G403 is the Pulsar X3. The Pulsar X3 has basically the shape but the G403 but is 55g, wireless, and includes modern day tech. It's $100. Go to EloShapes to see the shape difference. If you're your budget is <$65 and you want a big ergo mouse you can palm grip and u don't mind the wire, go with pulsar xelite wired on amazon. It's $50. If you do get the Xelite wired, know that it might not be long enough at a length of 122mm, so your fingers might hang off the ends of the mouse click buttons, but idk for sure. If you do decide to get a wired mouse make sure you have a mouse bungee. I recommend the Endgame Gear MB1 personally. But another cheaper option is the Glorious mouse bungee. And another option, idk a lot about it, the pulsar microbungee es. I've never tried it, but people say good things about it and it's only $7. If you still are unsure, go to X and use Grok AI. ChatGPT also works, but I feel like Grok is better. Ask it questions prompting it for things you want to know. Like $65 budget, want a shape like Logitech G403, I palm grip my mouse, I have large hands. List 5 mice I could buy and why. Reference reddit. That would be the prompt I use.

OP1 8K v2 is about $90 I think. That’s on the smaller side, and it’s well regarded as one of the best (if not categorically the best) mice for FPS. Even best mouse overall, it outperforms just about everything. Do you prefer symmetrical or ergonomic? The Razer Deathadder v3 is often on sale for $50-70, in my opinion it’s no slouch, it’s ergonomic. Much less of a performer as the OP1 but it is pretty decent. It’s large tho. If you’re interested in Pulsar their mini’s on the smaller size and I’ve seen some models (like x2 v2) on Amazon marked down to $70-90. Those will be wireless and are good. Pulsar also has an XLite (ergo) or X2 (wired) for $50, those are awesome choices IMO.

Right, but there are very unique charms about Vaxee that do make their products interesting. For cheap ergos I mean, Deathadder v3 Wired and you'd be in pretty good shape for $50. That's my take at least, I mained one for like 2-3 years and it worked out great. If you're willing to go wired you can even get a Pulsar X2 Wired or Pulsar Xlite Wired both are $50. That trio are probably the best budget mice I've tried. Now that I'm almost all wireless I can't go back, using a wired mouse feels so archaic. Vaxee is good but you are absolutely correct. In the budget category / $50 price range there are some top tier ergo shapes.

People that recommend the Viper Mini either havent tried it themselves or dont know better, that cable is stiff, thick so its not even compatible with mouse bungees I wouldn't subject a friend to that. The minimum I'd pay for a wired mouse with an actually good cable is around 2k for the Wired Razer and Pulsar options (Razer Deathadder V3 and Pulsar X2/X2H/Xlite Wired) and max at 3k-4k for the 8k options from Endgame Gear with good wired cables as well (OP1 8k and XM2 8k) at 1k the only reasonable option is VXE R1, whatever version you can get (avoid pro max, switches suck)

Pulsar Elite V3 Size 1

I am toying with the DAV3 HS right now. I like it but I prefer my Pulsar Xlite V3 Size 1 . It's a shorter mouse and easy to control imo. It's all subjective though because everyones hand is different.

This mouse is weird when it comes to the thumb, they made the back stick out so much on the side so you basically have to palm it. It feels weird when useing anything but palm. And i used a xlitev3 before which was perfectly fine for my "claw/fingertip" grip. Also the mouse feels off at 1kHZ meanwhile feels crisp on my end when useing 8k. doesnt make any sense tbh

Hi there,I appreciate the comment..I just saw your post and your grip ..I would say you have kind of a pincer claw/forward palm hybrid style with a  pretty steep tilt.You really like to have your ring and pinky fingers on the edge and because you have short hands for that mouse(gpx)you are forced to rise your wrist and compromise health and stability.I would recommend for you a medium/small size ergonomic mouse.Deathadder Hyperspeed, Pulsar xliteV3 medium or small,lamzu thorn,zowie ec2-c or even ec3-c could fit you well, something in that line, doesn't have to be expensive,maybe a Chinese medium ergo with good sensor to see how you like it.You should try if you like medium or small better..Hope it helps...

Hi there.Yeah,It seems that you are more comfortable with a small ergo mouse. Unfortunately there's is not much demand for that and there's few options.I would go with the Zaopin Z2 mini if you can only get it on AliExpress.Its not a true ergo,kind in between of ambi and ergo but it could fit you well.
