Keyboards and mice · Pulsar
Owners keep the X2 for a shape that suits their grip, clicks that feel quick and clean, a weight they like and long battery life, even if some find the price steep.
The shape is clearly praised. Owners describe it as the mouse that got them interested in mice in the first place, and one calls the X2H their favourite shape of all time.
Price is the clear complaint. Most of the owners who raised it felt the X2 costs too much.
The Pulsar X2 (now listed by Pulsar as the X2 v1) is a light wireless gaming mouse with a symmetrical shape. It is aimed at people who play fast games such as shooters and want a light mouse that moves easily.

From the maker's spec page, checked October 5, 2026. A blank row means the maker does not state it.
At 56 g it weighs about as much as a few AA batteries, so quick flicks take little effort. 70 hours of battery is about two weeks of daily gaming before you need to plug it in. 1000 Hz means the mouse reports its position 1,000 times a second, which is plenty for nearly anyone. The 26,000 DPI top setting is far beyond what most players use; you'll likely set it much lower.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
The clicks and the shape keep winning people over. One owner found the clicks quicker and cleaner at first, drifted off to try other mice, then came back to the X2 because it simply felt right all round. Haptic clicks and overall satisfaction both draw praise, and owners who prefer a little more heft count the X2's weight in its favour over newer versions.
The adjustments are about fit. One large-handed owner learned that the rear hump suits claw grip better than the fingertip grip they were using, and moved on to other shapes. Weight balance divides owners: some like it as it is (one only finds it off when wired), while others dislike it enough to move the battery further back inside. The scroll wheel also gets a divided response. Owners weighing an upgrade to a newer model are divided too: none were clearly positive about it, and several saw the differences as mostly colour, weight and battery life.
Battery life is praised, and none of the supplied comments describe a failure. Build quality is divided, with roughly as many owners happy with it as unhappy. The skates are divided too, and the comments lean toward disappointment. Owners who dislike the balance fix it themselves: one cut away a leftover plastic bump near the base and moved the battery as far back as it would go.
Long-term accounts are thin. The comments behind these themes mostly compare shapes, clicks and weight. Few of them say how the mouse holds up after extended use, so this page cannot say what tends to wear out or when.
From 4 owner accounts that said how long they have had it. Own one? Add how long yours has lasted.
Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
26 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
The same owner, asked again at each point. Fills in as owners answer.
Two questions: how long you have had it, and anything you would like to say about it. Then we ask again as it ages. This helps our mission.

Among the 4 owner accounts here that gave a duration, 1 described a failure. Parts named most: scroll wheel / switches (double click).
Before you buy one used, ask the seller: how old it is, whether it was ever repaired and by whom, and whether any of the parts above have been replaced. Ask to see it run. A receipt tells you the warranty start date; most makers honour the term only for the first owner.
