Pulsar Xlite Review

Shape



Make no mistake, the Xlite is not a small mouse. Very much inspired by the Zowie EC1, the Xlite has a raised left side, a centered hump that slopes down gradually towards both ends, a left side that curves inwards, and a right side that curves outwards towards the back. Compared to the Glorious Model D, one cannot help but notice that the left side rises quite a bit higher than the right side, resulting in a greater shift in height. The main buttons feature very subtle comfort grooves. As for the holes, a rib pattern is used on the Xlite, and the only area they don't extend to are the main buttons. All in all, a tried and tested shape that works well in practice.


As for grip styles, I'd say the Xlite mostly suits palm and claw grip, with fingertip grip possible at least. It's a large mouse with a fairly pronounced hump, which should make it generally suit bigger hands. For reference, my hands are 19 cm long and 10 cm wide, and I found the Xlite very comfortable in claw grip.



Dimensions

This table includes the dimensions of the Pulsar Xlite and several other right-handed ergonomic mice. "Front height" denotes the distance between the base and main buttons. Measurements with two decimals have been taken with a caliper, while those with one decimal have been taken with a ruler. For a full list of all measurements taken, please refer to this sheet compiled by an esteemed community member.
