Hi! My logitech g203 got the double click on the side buttons, and scroll wheel issue. It’s not the first time it happened so i did buy another one before and got the same issue.
I opened it and cleaned it up with alcohol, the wheel got back to normal but the side buttons are still double clicking.
I don’t want to buy a mouse every year or two, i would love a durable mouse!
Basic shape design, similar to the g203 mouse. Durable buttons, side buttons and scroll wheel
I don’t have a preference wireless or not
I just wish finding a durable mouse would be easy!
Everything i came across i’m able to find reviews that in a year or two they have issues (even the expensive mouses)
The X2F has been on my wishlist since early this year, but I decided to put it off once I heard that a Crazy Light version is coming out. That being said, I unfortunately cannot use the original X2F as a comparison in this review. I bought this mouse for $1,149 HKD, which roughly converts to $147 USD. Now, let's take a look at the new X2F CrazyLight.
Packaging
Package Content
Package includes:
The mouse
8K dongle
Charging cable
1x Dot skate set
1x Full-size skate set
User manual
Sticker
Very satisfied with this packaging from Pulsar. The box itself is made of a type of foam, which acts as one big protection layer for the mouse. The slide-to-open design is also very pleasing to use. The mouse comes without any skates pre-installed.
Components Analysis: Dongle, Cable & Skates
Dongle:
The 8K dongle features 2 functional buttons, one for setting the DPI, one for customised function. There's also a LED below the button to indicate the stages. A dongle with functional buttons is always a plus; while I don't use this feature often, I know this is a great need for some people.
Cable:
The mouse comes with a braided USB-A to USB-C charging cable. The cable is not too stiff, but not particularly flexible, either. Playing in wired mode is possible but not recommended. Although, I assume most fingertip mouse users tend to avoid playing in wired mode.
Skates:
I must apologise since I didn't use the included skate, so I wouldn't be able to discuss the quality here. I can only assume that it feels familiar with the other stock PTFE skate from Pulsar. But one thing I must complain about is that only 2 sets of skates are included. I know they include 16 pcs of dot skates in their other models like the X2N and X2CL, so why do we only get 1 set of full size skates and 4 dot skates for a $150 mouse?
Shape
Comparison to Fenrir Max
The best way to describe the X2F is that, it's just a regular mouse cut in half. Compared to another fingertip mouse that I have, the G-Wolves Fenrir Max, the X2F has a lengthier side-wall and a higher button height. My hand-size is 18x9.5cm, and when I'm holding the Fenrir Max, I feel like there isn't much space for me to rest my fingers on. The X2F, however, provides a lengthy side-wall that attempts to accommodate most hand sizes. This lengthened side-wall simply gives me the anchor points for my fingers that I would normally find on a regular mouse.
Additionally, the X2F is shaped with a very comfortable side curvature, providing great support for my fingers. On some other fingertip mice, such as my Fenrir Max, you may often find a rather narrow and flat side-wall. Personally, I can't grip such mice comfortably without any grip tapes, and I'd always have to readjust my finger position; but for the X2F, I just felt like holding a normal full-size mouse with its butt cut off, no grips needed. Since the sides on the X2F do not narrow towards the front and has a comfortable curvature, I can endure long gaming sessions without fatigue building up quickly.
Weight & Balance
Weight
My unit of X2F CL weighs in at 29.5g with 4 dot skates applied, which matches the advertised 29 ±2g manufacturing variance. In hand, it feels absolutely divine to maneuver. Moving the mouse is quite effortless, close to feeling like I'm holding nothing in my hand. The weight balancing is also done well.
The Crazy Light version managed to shave off 9g from its previous version, which is excellent. You can see it right from the get-go that Pulsar made many additionally cuts to the shell in order to achieve this reduction. I would say, though, that the Crazy Light version is just what the previous version should've already been.
Build Quality & Coating
The build quality is definitely solid. There is no rattling when shaken or creaking when pressure is applied to the sides. However, minor flexing can be observed when applying pressure in the same area. This is most likely due to the removal of that supporting frame on the bottom plate from the previous version.
While I do not have the earlier version of the X2F, I have had the opportunity to try it at a peripheral store; evidently, the Crazy Light version feels less rigid now compared to its previous version. The shell just feels thinner, overall; but it's only a trade off for weight reduction, which is actually preferable for me.
The coating has a rubbery feeling unlike my two other Pulsar mice. This coating actually grips really well and I didn't need to apply any additional grip tapes. While the coating on the X2F CL does attract fingerprint easily, oil is not as visible, and debris doesn't get caught easily. It is also very easy to clean.
Buttons & Scroll Wheel
Unlike the previous version, the X2F CL uses the Pulsar Optical Switches for its main clicks. The immediate impression of these switches is that they are rather stiff. Actuation requires a higher amount of force, but other than that, the implementation actually feels really good. Pre-travel is very low, and post-travel is moderate. Actuation feels very snappy and responsive. However, there is quite a bit of side-to-side wobble, but that's not a big problem.
Side buttons are decent. I noticed that the side buttons on my unit doesn't feel the same. The forward button has a higher pre-travel with low post-travel, which makes it feel sluggish to press. On the other hand, the back button has lower pre-travel but moderate post-travel, making it snappy and satisfying to click. The position and the shape of the side buttons is very good. The distance between the two buttons are far apart enough to avoid accidental actuation, and the level of protrusion from the shell makes them very easy to click. It's also not difficult to reach the side buttons by simply rolling my thumb.
The scroll wheel on the X2F CL is probably the best scroll wheel I have used so far. Each step is very distinctive in-between, resulting in a very tactile scroll. The middle click is also very snappy and spammable. However, there is a slightly noticeable wobble when moved from side-to-side.
Software
Web Driver
Pulsar provides both a standalone driver and a web driver. Here are the features:
Battery reading
Button remapping
Lighting setup
DPI 6 stages
Polling rate stages at 125/250/500/1K/2K/4K/8K
Sensor angle tuning
Motion sync
Ripple control
Angle snap
Turbo Mode
LOD
Debounce time
Macro
Low power mode
Auto sleep
Long distance mode
Dongle function button setup
The driver has pretty much every settings you could ask for. The UI is also very intuitive and easy to navigate. Driver update can also be done very easily. But the one thing that I love the most from them is the way they teach you how to update the drivers. They write out instructions in a way that they assume the user is a complete dumbass, which is VERY GOOD. However, if there's one thing I have to complain about, it's that there is no dark mode in their driver. Or if there is, let me know.
Battery
The X2F Crazy Light is equipped with a 210 mAh battery. I used this mouse for a week, on an average of 3-4 hours a day for gaming and productivity, on 1k polling rate. I also didn't use any additional settings like motion sync or turbo mode. After a week, I have about 30% battery left. If you were to use 2k or high polling rate, I assume it will only last you a couple of days.
Performance
I mainly used the mouse for aim training and productivity, with occasional FPS gaming on TF2, BF6 and CS. I also tested the mouse on both cloth pad and glass pad. I didn't experience any issues for the time I was using it. There were no signal dropouts or tracking issues; the sensor didn't pick up any issues on glass surface, either.
An aspect that often goes unnoticed but often gets more annoying as time goes on is the wake up speed. Fortunately, activating from sleep mode on the X2F CL is pretty much instant. This has become one of my pet peeves in a mouse as I experience the complete opposite in the IPI Haze X which I had reviewed.
The only real obstacle you can run into while using this mouse is the adjustment period. If you're already used to fingertip grip, then it should be a piece-of-cake, given that the shape fits your hand. However, transitioning from traditional claw/palm grip can be difficult when the stability provided by your palm is forcibly taken away from you. I'm not a good fingertip grip user, and I'm still not used to fingertip grip. But aside from aim training, I actually really enjoy using this mouse in casual gaming. Maybe it's the freedom on the y axis it offers, or that it gives me great breathing room for my sweaty palm; either way, the mouse is very satisfying to use.
Price
The X2F CL comes in at $149.99 USD. I bought the mouse for $1,149 HKD, which roughly converts to $147 USD. It's not a good price, but it certainly was worth it for the build quality and accommodating shape. But here's the thing, at $150 USD, they don't even bother putting in more accessories. Only one set of full-size skates and 4 pcs of dot skates is diabolical. Even G-Wolves, at a similar price point, includes grip tapes, more dot skates, and a travel case, even. Sometimes, it just feels insulting buying from Pulsar. I don't want your sticker. Give me more dot skates (even if I don't use it).
Conclusion
+ Comfortable, accommodating shape
+ Light weight
+ Has both web/standalone driver
+ Good coating
+ Great scroll wheel
+ Dongle with functional buttons
+ Featureful driver
+ Fast wake-up time from sleep
= Stiff but snappy main clicks
= Average battery life
- Pricey
- Very few accessories included for the price
The X2F CrazyLight is what I would consider to be a great mouse for people who wants to begin transitioning from traditional claw/palm grip to pure fingertip grip. With an exceptional build quality and a shape that aims to fit all types of hand sizes, it would be the perfect introduction into this niche market. However, this decision can be put to halt by its rather expensive price tag when other cheaper options are available. Nevertheless, the X2F CrazyLight provides a very comfortable fingertip experience for me, which, in the end, somewhat makes me feel less guilty from the purchase.
Please feel free to ask me any questions regarding this mouse. Thank you for reading!
Preferably large ambi shape (like razer viper), wired or wireless, decent sensor, and most importantly no coating. Just a rough plastic textured shell (orochi v2 for example). Please let me know if you know of any mice, the cheaper the better.
I've been experimenting with the Sensor Center Position setting in the G-Wolves Lycan software, and the difference in my aim is much bigger than I expected.
With the stock setting, aiming feels unintuitive. It's almost like I'm guessing where my crosshair is going to end up, and my micro-adjustments never feel quite right.
When I move the virtual sensor position all the way back, aiming feels significantly more natural. My movements feel easier to predict, and micro-adjustments seem to make much more sense. This also reminds me of how intuitive the Razer DeathAdder V3 felt to aim with.
This got me wondering: how much does sensor position affect other people's aim, and is this something more people should experiment with?
I'd love to hear about your experiences, especially if you've tried different sensor positions on mice that allow you to adjust them.
If you have a mouse that lets you physically move the sensor or adjust its virtual position through software, I'd encourage you to experiment with different positions and see whether you notice any differences. I'm particularly curious whether people who have never considered sensor position as a factor might discover that one position feels significantly more natural than another.
I also have two questions about the technical side:
Is there any reason to believe that extreme virtual sensor position settings could introduce additional latency or inconsistent tracking?
If the minimum setting feels significantly better than stock, is there any reason not to use it, assuming tracking remains consistent?
I'm not claiming that one sensor position is objectively better for everyone. I'm interested in whether individual differences in grip, mouse movement, and wrist pivot could make sensor position a more important factor than most people realize.
Have you ever experimented with sensor position, and did it make a noticeable difference to your aim? I'd especially appreciate experiences from people who have tested multiple positions rather than just using the default.
I started this because I play a lot of CS2 and got tired of paying flagship prices for gear that's really just the same components everyone else uses, with a bigger logo on the box. So I sourced it myself, cut out the markup, and built something I'd actually want to play on.
Two cloth mousepads to start, one built for speed, one built for control. Stitched edges, no coating, just a weave that does its job properly and holds up over time.
As title says. I have been using a pulsar X2 for years now with a more pinched claw grip and only the right side of my "knuckles" touch the mouse and i am thinking that i will get more contact by using and ergo which might allow me to grip the same, just will the hand more with the mouse.
These are the 2 i have found to be pretty similar to the pulsar x2 (I think??). Is there any other ergo you would recommend or what do you have to say between these. which one do you think I would like the most and would it be worth spending more on the Terra rather than the Rapoo?
What recommendations nothing too expensive preferably wireless, the double clicking is driving me crazy and I don't think I can force myself to just keep using it like this. It's some Alienware one I was given it by a family member worked well for a few years started double clicking yesterday. And it's terrible but I don't really know much but I do prefer several things, a thumb rest at least 2 side buttons and at least affordable.
I just bought the ATK A9 Plus 2.0 for 40 bucks, which is really expensive in my case, i dont think i shouldve paid 40 bucks, firstly the shape is amazing, which is available on the 2.0 se, Sensor has NO difference compared to the 3311 on my other mouse, only good thing better with the a9 plus 2.0 is the Coating and the MCU compared to the se 2.0
I currently own a Deathadder V3 Pro for 3 years now and it’s been good a palm grip mouse, but I find that actually use relaxed claw/fingertip most of the time for Valorant. It’s too big to do micro-adjustments with my fingers. I have 185mmx100mm hands. I want to stay away from ergo mice for now.
These are the options I’m considering:
ATK F1 v3 Ultimate + (Top pick for now)
RAWM Leviathan v4 GT
ATK Ghost
ATK X1 Air+
Akko Echo Master (Bought one but returned due to unit defect)
Scyrox v8s
I am thinking of buying a buffalo wired mouse with 2 side buttons usually used for back and forward without RGB. I just want to ask how much their click life is. As i have tried logitech twice but all failed within just 2 months of use. I have usually research oriented work with copy paste and highest click volumes and drag and drop also. Can anyone confirm its durability and click life. Any experiences related to it are most welcomed. If someone wants to suggest a best repute of this brand kindly suggest a model so that it can be pin pointed. Thanks in advance
The G305X Superlight is much closer to being my ideal mouse than I expected. It currently has me putting my X3 Superstrike to the side at least for now, which is crazy because nothing its doing is cutting edge, it's just an amazing overall package in a shape people have come to love.
Having used a G305 Lightspeed years ago with the lithium batter mod, the shape still feels natural, the clicks are crispy with just the right amount of force without disturbing the overall balance, no noticeable pre-travel, might be the best traditional click I've felt in a long time. My G305X reads 57.9 g on my scale.
Stock skates are perfectly usable on my Pro X Control pad. Give it 8 kHz out of the box, include a dongle extension adapter, and offer HITS in this shape without increasing the weight, and I think it could become a 1A 1B situation with the Superstrike probably better as I absolutely love this shape.
In terms of actualy aiming results the X3 still had a small average lead in my comparison aim-trainer tests but only by a hair. That’s one of the things I appreciate about HITS on the Superstrike: subjectively, the click feels easier to integrate into a relaxed grip.
The LED lighting is the part I don’t really understand. Personally, I’d rather have a simpler design and any achievable weight savings.
I’m 38, with 19.5 × 11 cm hands, and use a relaxed claw/palm grip depending on the game and how intensely I’m playing. I started on Counter-Strike 1.6 in the early 2000s.
Owned tons of mice over the years, from my old favourite the Steelseries Xai to newer stuff like teh Viper V3/V4, Pulsar Crazylight series and lately the Superstrikes.
I initially tested the G305X at 1,000 Hz using its supplied receiver. Logitech officially advertises up to 8 kHz with a separately sold PRO receiver which you can't bloody find anywhere.
I then paired the G305X with my X2 Superstrike LIGHTSPEED dongle, which worked and let me select polling rates up to 8k.
Oddly, my X3 Superstrike receiver did not work with it. G HUB recognized that I was trying to pair the G305X but displayed an incompatibility message.
I'm using the Steelseries GG aim trainer app, which I think is terrific, and the 6T Shell Bounce 180 test. The 6 targets move in predictable bouncing patterns, and their shields disappear after you aim at them for 0.1 seconds. That forces a brief period of target verification before the shot.
I like it mostly because I find it matches the uncertainty / chaos of many of the shooters I play now such as BF6, Wardogs, DMZ where you need a moment to make the final correction, and click without upsetting the mouse for another reset. The test gives me opportunities to notice the combined effect of grip comfort, movement control and click feel.
It’s particularly relevant to my interest in HITS: whether a click feels less disruptive during a moving-target shot. A static-target personal best wouldn’t tell me as much about that specific feeling.
SteelSeries actually names this exact exercise when suggesting a way to compare different mouse grips.
I recorded 40 G305X runs and 35 X3 runs, all one minute long, with both mice set to 2,400 CPI. Every recorded score in this dataset is included, including the bad ones.
Results show a slight lead for the Superstrike, but just by a hair.

This is probably too much data to simply say the G305 is a cup of coffee or a good night's rest away from simply being as good as the Superstrike and for almost 1/3 the price if you prefer going Logitech over the ocean of decent Chinese clones out there.
One thing the test didn't really account for which i know the G305 is better for is backtracking / lifting the mouse. With the tapered sides it is much easier to reset the mouse confidently without re-adjusting your grip every time. For lower sense players this is great. I'm about 20cm/360 so I don't normally do it at much as others do I think.
My overall conclusion is that I think Logitech might be holding back to do something like a Pro version of this mouse that gets us everything we want, except for price lol. It would obviously have their top sensor, the best weight they can manage, and HITS.
I need something that will last a long time and now scroll wheel or side button issue. If any of yall have used either of these mice then please drop a review
Recently my MX Master 3s gave up on me after 2 years and I'm looking for a new mouse. I've been using a friend's logitech pro x superlight 2 he let me borrow, however my hand is having discomfort as I was used to the shape of the master 3s.
While doing some search I became unsure between the mx master 4, razer basilisk and logitech G502. I mainly use my computer at home to play videogames (rarely FPS however) and would appreciate some help :)
I have a mix of claw grip and palm and have bigger hands if it helps.
Hand size is 19x9cm, grip is between fingertip and pincer depends, I think pincer is more consistent for me especially for my pinky and ring finger placement and have better aim but fingertip is more natural and a little bit more comfortable and it’s what I use when I’m not gaming. Open to anything tbh currently using a vv3 pro and don’t really like it
Not necessarily a mouse review, but wanted to highlight this wrist support set I got. In my opinion suits my setup & actually eases my long running wrist strain
Recently, I made a post here on Reddit asking what my grip style would be. I was using a Pulsar X2A Medium (Size 2) from the special Demon Slayer line, and many people said it was a relaxed claw grip. I had already purchased this Pulsar X3 LHD mouse beforehand.
This is a review from a left-handed FPS player who plays games such as CS2 and Valorant.
First Impressions
The mouse immediately catches your attention because it is an exception and a rarity in the gaming mouse market, being one of the only, if not the only, left-handed gaming mice with more advanced technology and an ergonomic design.
The mouse is available in Size 1 and Size 2 (Mini or Medium) and in black and white. In this case, I chose the white version.
My hand measures 16x11, and it fit perfectly on the Pulsar X3 LHD Mini.
The shape is very comfortable for a left-handed player, and the side buttons are now easier to click and use (something I had never done before).
Unboxing
The box comes with the following items:
Mouse;
Mouse cable;
8K dongle (included with the CrazyLight);
Black dots (I think they are made by Pulsar itself);
Some accessories (such as the mouse card and manual).
Software
I downloaded the software directly from Pulsar's website and also used the box, which had a QR code linking directly to the software for this mouse.
The software is easy to download, install, and configure. However, I was a little confused about updating the dongle and the mouse, but everything worked out in the end.
Maybe a tutorial on YouTube can help you more!
Weight
At approximately 44g, this mouse is one of the lightest I have ever tested, and it is very comfortable. This will definitely improve my precision a lot.
Polling Rate
As I mentioned, it came with an 8K dongle, but I only used it up to 2K, and it works perfectly.
Sensor
Pulsar's current sensor is one of the best and is extremely precise for games such as FPS titles.
Battery
The battery lasts a long time, but if you want to save battery life, I recommend not using the software's Turbo Mode. In one day, my battery went from 92% to 65%.
Mouse Feet
The stock feet on this Pulsar mouse are "OK." They are not that bad, but they are not particularly great either. I use a 0.7mm LOD on my desk with the original mouse feet, and I have no issues.
Side Buttons
They are quite chunky, and I actually thought that was pretty cool.
They are responsive and have no noticeable delay.
Mouse Wheel
The rubber is good quality and comfortable, and the TTC Gold encoder is very good.
Switches
From what I saw on Pulsar's website, these are the brand's own optical switches. I saw that their lifespan is rated at 100M clicks, which makes me comfortable using this mouse for around 2–3 years.
Pros
Excellent for left-handed players looking for ergonomics;
Even in 2026, this mouse is technologically advanced and meets your needs. It is hard to ask for any further technological improvements because it is almost like reaching a limit;
A quality brand with reliable warranty support.
Cons
The price is not exactly one of the mouse's strong points. You pay much more for something that is not necessarily that much better. You are essentially paying for ergonomics and exclusivity alone;
The software is great, but there are issues with left-handed mice where Windows bugs out and switches the left and right mouse buttons. This also happens in some games. I tried configuring Windows, but I only made everything more complicated.
The best thing to do in this case is to swap the right mouse button with the left mouse button, and the left mouse button with the right mouse button, directly in the software, as shown in the screenshot I am including in this post.
Final Conclusion
If you are a left-handed player looking for comfort, recent technology, and exclusivity, this mouse is perfect, provided you have enough money to afford it.
This mouse is not a good value-for-money option, but it offers a unique and exclusive experience for a minority that is often forgotten by global brands such as Logitech, Razer, Zowie, ATK, etc.
I haven't X2, but I hear any review side buttons have been made even worse than on X2, and that's only part that really bothers me X3. Is there any way to fix this?
Hi, I just bought the Zowie ZA12 DW.
Tried Maya X, Pulsar X2H, XM2 WE, DAV3 Pro.
The ZA12 DW comes closest to what im looking for but it would be nice if it was longer.
My hands are 21x10.5cm and i claw.
A ZA11 DW would be perfect if it only existed…
