The verdict
The original Pulsar X2 launched in August 2022 at about $95: a 56 g symmetrical wireless mouse with a PixArt PAW3395 sensor, Kailh GM 8.0 switches and a low, flat shell. Hands-on reviews we read (DiamondLobby, Latest in Tech, The Gaming Setup) agree the sensor and wireless link are top class, the shell feels solid, and the shape suits claw and fingertip grips more than palm grips. Their criticisms are a smooth coating that can get slippery, left and right clicks that don’t feel quite identical, and polling capped at 1,000 Hz.
None of those reviews gives a numeric verdict, and the big outlets only scored the newer models (X2V2, X2H, X2 CrazyLight), so this entry is Ranking pending until we can verify three scored reviews of this exact model. If you’re buying today, Pulsar’s newer X2 variants keep the same basic shape with upgraded switches and higher polling rates.
