Wonder if they will add this to the customization "part" of Pulsar. Like its cool as stock but i just dont like the opticals other than omrons. I even saw the Boardzys unit have pretty significant button wobble and pretravel.
Hey! I have weird mouse preferences, I've tried a lot and I dont really like most, i may just buckle down and get a custom pmm clay model, but before than, I was wondering if this mouse might have what I'm looking for. On most mice, just because of my hand size and natural state, my pinky is NEVER on the mouse; this largely is because I feel like the back right of the mouse gets in my way and forces my hand away from the mouse, instead of really being able to grip around it. However, the x3 looks like it might have less presence there so that I can really get on the mouse? How would you say the mouse is in the regard?
It’s hard to say how exactly it would be for Your grip and hand size. But the normal x3 is quite large and should afford you room to keep your finger on the mouse while gripping
Pulsar just doesn't stop man. I like that they also came out with 2 sizes, looking at EloShapes, the mini seems very close to PM1. Sprime had its fans yet they just disappearaed so Pulsar is not only filling the void for updated G703 but also PM1. Sprime PM1 can still be found on some random a$$ EU sites but i doubt there'd be any support if it malfunctions or anything.
been looking forward to seeing x3 reviews! im so glad they got away from using raesha switches. i really hope at some point they update their other models with new switches outside of pulsar-by-you mice
Is that what the problem was? I loved my x2’s with the huano switches but my x2v2/h switches all feel absolutely terrible. They’re so bad that it made me just give up on pulsar
@@richboii6597 yes. Raesha from what i know is the shitty sister brand of razer and they have a lot of inconsistency in their switches with slightly less tactility than razer opticals. I dont mind then but I still prefer huano mechanicals. on a bad batch they can feel mushy, light and dull while on a good batch they can be bouncy, tactile and quite enjoyable, like a good razer optical implementation.
@@richboii6597 Yes. The Raesha opticals are a cheaper mass produced version of Razer opticals iirc, and they are much more inconsistent, on a bad batch can be spongey and mushy with dull tactility and very light actuation, while on a good batch can actually feel really nice and sharp like a good Razer implementation. The benefits is they are cheap and hotswappable, which means you can quickly deploy and repair the mouse. But yes, its due to the Raesha switches inconsistency and natural downside in their design.
Can you test the MEZE Antonio Audio 105 aer? I have bought it. I think the gaming performance is as good as 490 pro, and the bass is a little better than 490 pro for music.
how can i tell what batch my pulsar mouse is from, since I bought the X2 but people say the later batches fixed the sticky clicks while the older ones still has the issue
@@shinefake48 copies bought within first 3-4 months of release should be initial batches with no fixes to issues. After that is usually when all the fixes have been implemented in preparation for waves of collaborations with other brands.
Great vid and very interesting mouse. I've never explored ergos (only tried the DAV3 and Thorn) but this seems really intriguing, might try to pick one up after I receive my Maya X. Also was wondering if you still use/main the Maya X? your video kinda sold me on it haha.
Hi bro, I just received the QKZ x HBB IEM yesterday that you recommended. It's so amazing. The sound is so clear and fun. I can hear enemies from far away in Valorant. Felt like I got Wallhack in my ears. Thanks for the recommendation 😊❤🎉
i got the arete a few days ago and just today i got moondrop dawn pro, i have to say its amazing. i did not like some things about arete at first (slightly recessed midrange compared to my zero 2) but the moondrop dawn gave the midrange a good bit of body (especially vocals) and pushed it a bit forward while keeping separation and overall balance amazing. definitely recommend it. my volume without the dongle was 90 and it went to 10 with it, just to give u an idea of how much power this little thing has for an iem. its great to hear so many new details in songs and almost feel like you are inside the room with them recording it
i forgot to mention its also worth swapping the tips, i enjoy it more with dunu S&S. better seal (for me) and i found those tips to just amplify the bass a bit which feels great on the arete
Nice review! Is great to know that you did not have any QC issues. Do you have any experience with the Omron opticals? If so, how they compare againts the Kailh opticals?
The sprime mouse is pretty much out of stock and ghosted everyone on the promise of a high polling rate reciever. So this might actually be the only option available right now.
Love your videos, I bought the 490 pro after watching your review and was wondering if you know of or have tried any other DACs that aren't already in your certified list and do well with the 490s in the sub $250 range ?
Might be interesting to have your take on some mice from a CS perspective 👀 I see a lot of people show clips of Apex etc when showing how they perform with mice but less talking about stable tac shooter aim. Hope you're doing well! 🍌
i have a 50 dollar budget , I got the x2h wired medium but maybe returning it to get the xtrfy m8 because i'm a ftip grip. Thoughts? also if you have recommendations on other mice in that budget.
@@FreshReviewsYT how does this shape feel different from the classic EC/DA shapes? I'm really curious as I have an Xlite V3 Large and while its super comfy the way it positions my grip isn't 100% as I'd like it to be. I think its because my knuckles kinda rest on the rear slope as opposed to resting on the top. I have a feeling this one with the fatter higher hump will force a more firmer grip with the ring knuckle at the top going downward.
@@randomfacaDon't have a X3 yet but I do have a 703 and DAV3. The immediate thing you notice with the 703 is the back hump is much more prominent compared the DA and I feel more 'locked in' because of it. The slope on DA doesn't quite give me that feeling.
Would you go with the X3 or wait another month or so for the Teevolution Terra from the Fantech family?? Supposed to be a G703 1:1 at 49g with Omron opticals.
@@honorabilis1 lol,right?! the way it's aggresively curved made me contiously readjust my grip really , really annoying and also the sides being plain rubber felt like it's peeling off and getting stickier. I switch between Maya X and Dav3 Hyperspeed atm

Is great to know that you did not have any QC issues.
Do you have any experience with the Omron opticals? If so, how they compare againts the Kailh opticals?
I like both. Omron seems a bit lighter in most implementations
The sprime mouse is pretty much out of stock and ghosted everyone on the promise of a high polling rate reciever. So this might actually be the only option available right now.
When was the last time it was in stock??
I still see it on random EU sites. Goes for 80-85€ but yeah, i am hesitant as i'd prefer having a warranty in case something goes bad.
is it the same size and weight?
@@shiion6711 size is close, weight is 50+ grams instead of 42-44g.

Feinmann
nvmd that pulsar mouse, that godzilla mousepad is glorious
Haha it is
@@FreshReviewsYT is it a custom mousepad?

@FreshReviewsYT I see, just checked it out but it seems to be out of stock/ on back order, any other options?
Between the Xlite V3 Mini and X3 Mini, which do you feel has a better shape for consistency and in-hand maneuverability?
I think the xlite would still feel smaller
is there a good finalmouse ulx medium clone with no holes?
Hmmmm with no holes. Let me think. If you can do holes the beast is great.

Hello mate, whats ur main Mouse Pad?
Right now the genesis pro
what skates do you have on the x3 mini? Jade air? Thanks.
Yea jade air dots
Do you have any plans to review kefine klean?
I would love to hear your thoughts on this product.
@@dreammie0_0 for sure. Have a budget round up coming next
Is it worth to pick up an x3 mini if I already have a sprime pm1?

@ I was debating on the x3 mini but I just full sent it on the feinmann instead 😭
hello mate, whats ur current main mouse? the Feinmann?
Main ergo is the feinmann yea. Main symmetrical mouse is a close call between xm2, sora, and x2h
x3 lhd goat for left-handed players
how easy are the side buttons to hit? everyone says the g703 side buttons are huge and easy to press, but the x3's look more standard
Very easy on these as well
Cant wait for my X3 Mini preorder to arrive and make it my main!
Hope you like!
@@FreshReviewsYT I hope so too. This is by far the first mice that I was so hyped for I preordered.
Let’s go! Insta buy for me 🎉
best mouse for small hands and claw grip??
Great option is the hyperlight by hitscan depending on your hand size
What is this Mousepad?
it’s an arbiter collab glass pad that they dropped a little bit ago. idk if it’s still in stock tho
arbiter studio godzilla glass mousepad
Yep! Like others mentioned it is a Godzilla arbiter collab
fresh, I know this mouse is an instant cop for sure but should we wait for another batch just in case of QC issues or just yolo pre-order it?
YOLO baby!
i have a 50 dollar budget , I got the x2h wired medium but maybe returning it to get the xtrfy m8 because i'm a ftip grip. Thoughts? also if you have recommendations on other mice in that budget.
Also amazon only
Also the incott g23 for 50 which would u recommend between the 2 for ftip?
If you’re planning to double it to iron your clothes then yes the m8 makes sense
@ what do you mean by that lol, also would wireless feel much better or no?

Is the goated combo
Nice mousepad is that a glass one or fabric?
Glass! From arbiter studio’s Godzilla collab

Appreciate it bro, love the content been watching for iems and headphone reviews for a while, now looking into your mice reviews for my next upgrades
18x9 cm hand, should i get size 1 or 2?
Probably 1
Bro which is best iem under 25 dollars
Vivace is a contender
I'm so torn between the sizes. Never tried a g703.. I ordered the 2, but I just know I'm going to be wondering what the other feels like.
