Pulsar Xlite V3 Review 7

Pulsar Xlite V3 Review

Shape & Dimensions »

Packaging


Aside from the mouse, one finds a USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable, wireless extender, wireless dongle, sticker, collector card, and quick start guide in the box.

Weight


My scale shows around 59 g (+/- 1 g), which is almost exactly in line with the weight cited by Pulsar. For comparison, the similarly-sized Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro weighs 62 g, same as the Glorious Model D 2 Pro 4K/8KHz Edition, both of which have neither holes nor an open-bottom design. An excellent weight.

Cable


The Xlite V3 comes with a paracord-like, braided charging cable (USB Type-A to Type-C). In terms of flexibility, this one is above average, soundly beating the charging cable of recent Razer mice, to where playing while charging is possible without feeling overly restricted. In addition, the connector at the mouse end of the cable is angled upwards to avoid cable drag, similarly to mice from VAXEE or Endgame Gear. Its measured length is 1.80 m, and a ferrite bead is attached.

The charging cable also functions as an extension cable if used in conjunction with the wireless extender, which can be used to keep the distance between dongle and mouse as short as possible.

Feet


The feet on the Xlite V3 are white-dyed pure PTFE (Teflon) feet. They are of average thickness and have slightly rounded edges. Glide is very good. Small indents next to the feet make them easier to remove. Their shape is unchanged from the Xlite V2. The ring around the sensor ensures CPI stays consistent upon applying vertical pressure.

4K Wireless Dongle


As a separate purchase, Pulsar offers the 4K Wireless Dongle, which is compatible with all Pulsar mice using a Nordic MCU (X2V2, X2A, X2H, and Xlite V3) except for the eS series. Pairing the mouse to the 4K Wireless Dongle is easy: After plugging the dongle in and launching the dedicated pairing tool, the left, right, and middle mouse buttons have to be pressed before then clicking on "pair," alternatively by pressing the space or enter keys. However, only one dongle can ever be paired to the mouse, so after pairing the Xlite V3 to the 4K Wireless Dongle, the included dongle will no longer work, and vice versa.
