In owners' own words

my single pulsar mouse (X2V2) creaks (this is after an RMA for a non-flat bottom and sticky buttons).

ive bought 2 pulsar mice, a x2v2 and an x2 h. both were returned within a week because the left and right mouse click started to audibly sound like its double clicking.

Same thing happened with my X2V2 mini just 5-6 months in, moved on from Pulsar.

Got a Pulsar X2v2 and at first it was great but then the left click started to get heavy feeling if it hadn't been clicked for 15 minutes... swapped back to the GPX after a year and wondered why I ever left.

I tried the X2V2 before this it had the click issues that were unbearable, had to slightly mod it to get it working, really lame to deal with out of box.

on Pulsar, particularly black mice, the coating is a fingerprint/oil magnet. That was my experience with the X2H and X2V2 at least

Bought it in may 2023 and 15th March 2024, the mouse's sensor completely died. All buttons work, the mouse is charged but the sensor doesn't register any movement

after the sticky clicks on their x2v2 variants, I no longer buy Pulsar mice.

The coating does seem like a downgrade compared to the X2V2 version.

I had an X2V2 and an X2H mini that both had sticky clicks

The first month of having my pulsar x2 v2 mini, I was really happy with the new mouse, but then came a day when I wanted to play some highly competitive FPS games, and I noticed that my cursor would suddenly stop when flicking my mouse fast. This later developed into being an issue when not even playing these FPS games.

Ive been using the pulsar X2v2 (not the mini) dragonslayer and really like the size. However, it’s been having problems with the scroller and I can’t seem to fix it. So I’m replacing it.
