Our Verdict

Pulsar X2V2

Pulsar X2 CrazyLight

The Pulsar X2V2 and the Pulsar X2 CrazyLight are lightweight FPS gaming mice that share the same symmetric shape, but the X2 CrazyLight is a bit smaller and lighter. It also features a newer sensor with improved performance and comes bundled with a receiver that supports polling rates up to 8000Hz. In addition, it's offered in a wider range of colorways. By comparison, the X2V2 supports up to 1000Hz polling out of the box and can reach a 4000Hz polling rate only with the purchase of a separate dongle.
