Software

The Xlite Wireless comes with its own software. All options are accessible through three different tabs. The first page allows for button remapping to mouse, keyboard, media, and macro functions, along with the ability to adjust debounce time, which effectively controls click latency, at a range of 0 to 30 ms in increments of 1. The second page houses CPI adjustment settings for up to four color-coded levels, ranging from 50 to 20,000 CPI in increments of 50 up to 10,000 CPI and increments of 100 at and above 10,100 CPI. Values can be put in directly by double-clicking the value instead of by using the slider. Any non-native values are truncated to native ones. Also included are the usual Windows pointer settings, along with polling rate (125/250/500/1000 Hz), LOD (1/2 mm), and angle snapping (on/off) adjustment options. "Ripple Control" is disabled by default, but can be enabled to apply smoothing, which lessens jitter at higher CPI steps at the cost of increased motion delay, though I've found this option to not be functional. Lastly, a macro editor can be found on the third page, and profile management is included as well. All settings are applied live and saved to the on-board memory, so the software does not need to be running (or be installed) all the time. On my system, the software had a RAM footprint of 21 MB on average when running in the foreground, which doesn't change when minimized to the task bar or system tray. Upon exiting the application, all processes are terminated, as they should be.

Lighting

Even though the Xlite Wireless does not feature RGB lighting in the narrow sense, it does have a single LED indicating the currently set CPI step. The color is adjustable and one can choose between two lighting effects, Breathe and Steady. In addition to that, brightness and speed can be adjusted. Of course, the lighting can be disabled altogether as well.

Battery Life

Pulsar states a maximum battery life of up to 70 hours, though no details are given under which conditions this figure applies. The software includes a battery level indicator seemingly featuring single-digit granularity. However, the indicator appears to be highly inaccurate, with the value changing essentially at random. Given the Xlite Wireless lacks a fuel gauge IC, this is expected. Accordingly, I'm unable to gauge anything. For the record, the indicator still showed 96% after 12 hours of continuous use.

After exactly one minute of inactivity, the mouse enters sleep mode, from which it can be awoken by simply moving the mouse.

Using the included USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable, I measured the charging speed during the constant current stage, which sits at around 0.190 A. The battery has a capacity of 300 mAh.
