I love the shape of the EC2, but I really love the Pulsar Xlite v3! It's my primary mouse now! Side note: I have used the Death Adder V3 Pro for about 9 months. There's one thing that I really keep on saying to myself: Man, I really wish Razer could make similar dimensions to the EC2, and this is why I was really excited when it came out with the Xlite v3; I didn't hesitate to place a pre-order for the es version, but I do want to try the Xlite V3, but hopefully that mico center will have it soon!
Using the DAV3 atm, but will for sure try out the ES version in Large when that comes. I feel the same way about DAV3, which had a bit more Zowie EC shape.
@@D0WnL0DeR The biggest disappointment I find about the Death Adder V3 Pro is that for $150, you expect the BBQ post to be top-notch, but it gets annoying when it starts creaking like an old bet mattress. Like, do better, razer, smh.
Ergo mice can only be SO different, human hands are still hand shaped. It’s not like there’s gonna be an enormous difference of ergo shapes like we’re making them for different animals 😂
But they don’t have to all be EC clones. Thumb rest, hump horizontal positions, hump tilt, groove positions, button slope angle are all things that can make an ergo more unique. Or just do the vaxee approach and take a symm and add ergo aspects to it and it will be a new ergo mouse shapes.
Was waiting so long for this review since I was having a huge dilemma with whichshould I chose as my next cs2/work/othergames mouse. Could not wait any longer and did order zygen np01s actually. Im more then happy with it. Now all is left is to cancel all subscriptions to boardzy, hausgaming and others cause I know me - I would buy them all. I cant. Have to keep my shit together and just don't buy more. Peace hommies, was rly nice to read u ;)
@@boardzyi dont get the point of going driverless in esports. just save settings to on board memory at home then roll up with your mouse. dpi button not being able to have 50 dpi increments is a miss. oled screen makes mouse beavier too
@@WindowsPlaysFPS ok. some ppl on reddit/twitter said the purpose of the screen/driverless is to open a brand new mouse on stage/right before on stage and then adjust settings
For smaller or "normal" handsize this release is kinda meh and too basic. But for extra large hands this is phenomenal since EC1 is only competitive large ergo mouse for us and its heavy as fuck with some older tech aswell. Hoping the large version will be released soon.
I fit pretty firmly into that extra large hands group (9" from palm to finger tip and 5" across the palm. Or 22.86 by 12.7 cm). I have had so much trouble finding a mouse that comfortably fits my hand and isn't a brick, so I'm really excited for this. I've never used any of the zowie shapes (or any ergo mouse other than a gen 1 deathadder and a g502) but I think this might be the move.
Bought the normie version. Loved it. Balled out and got the eS version. Didn't like it as much because of the balance. Went back to the non-eS. It's hard to say for sure because of the weight disparity but I think I prefer the shape of the Xlite over the EC2, as well.
I dont notice the standard coating feeling being better performance wise but it definitely picks up less sweat/oils. The ES coating doesnt have enough rubbery feeling/grip like the OP1we to justify the aesthetic downgrade imo
eS editon seems so gimmicky to me. No E-Sport Player needs to adjust settings on the fly. You just set one and go with it. Instead of this stupid screen i was hoping for a super solid and super reinforced aka reliable version.
2 days and 2 boardzy upload in a row with that La Onda Glaze appearing (i can't stop looking at it, REVIEW WHEN ? pls). Also 8:27 X-Raypad Obsidian Pro ? (and yeah that's a lot of dots on just one mice LMAO).
the v2 was my last love. v4 just came out. I got sent the v3 es and the sensor I got was defective so it skipped and the clicks would double click eventually or something like that. the switch to optical without using omrons was Ab bad choice. put some omrons the mouse would be amazing. side buttons are actually some of the best position wise I enjoyed them greatly. the scroll wheel change was very good and I had no issues. the mouse coating was horrendous. I don't know how the viper v3 pro did it but man the most amazing grip on the white variant
I just bought the Deathadder V3 and I'm not in love with the shape. I'm a palm guy and I feel like the right side of the mouse needs to be flatter and higher. I'm trying to decide do I go with the Zowie, Pulsar or Lamzu event though they are all close in comparison as your review states. Would love to have all them to review for myself :)
Hey Boardzy Loved the Vid. I was just wondering if you have any recommendations for mice similar to the roccat kone pure ultra shape. I have 17x9.5cm hands and am not sure what ergos would be good for me. My fingers are clawed up but I do have palm contact.
im trying to find something to replace the Kone pro air with but i just cant, the shape is too good. I just got my xlite v3 but the hump on it (and most other ergo mice) is just too big
@@ekomsable the only one I’ve liked a lot so far in terms of ergos id the vaxee outset ax wireless so far, the overall size is smaller so it makes that bigger hump not feel as bad. An updated Kone pro air would be nice to have tho
These things are so subjective. You say the clicks are horrible, another TH-camr says they’re among the best they’ve tried. It has zero value to me, and I cringe when thinking of how many take these videos as gospel more or less. My favorite mouse after being through about ten (including the DAv3 Pro an other “big names”) is one you rated as “trash”. So glad I didn’t listen to you 😄 I like the videos themselves though, I only take most of the contents/views in them with a significant pinch of salt
Im one of those few people, hoping Corsair might actually come out with a competitive option. Would you have any interest in checking out some of their newer options like the M75 Air? 60g wireless mouse with a new shape (for them)
I bought quite a few Corair products i wouldn't recommend them to anyone not that they are horrible performance wise but atrocious build quality i had two wireless headset they both just broke down after not so much use
@Ziiiko You know. I snagged the Katar Elite on sale for dirt cheap, and I don't regret it. Everyone says they're shit and to be fair I'm sure its not a top tier option by any means but I think its decent. At 68g its not the lightest egg on the market, but it doesn't bother me. I actually prefer the shape over my old Orochi v2 and I haven't had any issues with the wireless yet.
Hey should I get the pulsar x2v2 mini? I’ve been hearing good things and bad things and was wondering if it was a worthy purchase for games like fortnite, valorant etc
My only gripe about the xlite v2 was the side buttoning position and difficulty to actuate them. Seems like they made em lighter but to have the high awkward side buttons is a deal breaker for me personally 😢
If I got either one of these mice, would my hand size fit ? 19x10cm hands and I’ve been on my zowie s2 for almost 4 years until recently I got the viper V2 Pro and it’s been a good fit but these mice look so fucking good and so clean too. I love the look, shape, and the little screen too. Would it fit my hands ?
Hello bro i know u are the best out there i could opinion from - Please choose between ( huntsman mini analog vs huntsman V2 analog tkl ) please! for playing valorant ps-i dont have wooting budget.
Lamzu Thorn or GPX Superlight 2 for 18x10 hand and a relaxed claw/palm grip + a 1-3-1 grip (middle finger always on mouse wheel and ring finger on right mouse button)?
hi~can u try v3es Press the left and right buttons at the same time and then press the middle button of the scroll wheel. Will the middle button of the scroll wheel have no response?
Suggestion: Add an esthetic section to your review. Like the aluminum scroll wheel and screen might not be that big of a deal BUT they look cool and different lol Subjective but important.
@@wahidtrynaheghugh260 To create a debate, big guy. An esthetic section would generate more engagement as people would discuss it in the comments, which would be interesting for me.

I refuse to buy any mouse with optical switches, just don't like the way that they feel or sound. I actually bought a 2nd copy of the Xlite v2 with the huano blue shell pink dot switches.
There are definitely tiers to opticals. The implementation in the X2v2 feels incredible and light to actuate but these are definitely more middle of the road
Lamzu Thorn is far better. I got 21x11cm size hands and play with Val in immo 3. God tier shape for me and top notch tech, great skates, very nice clicks, truly my end game mouse.
I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out what that acronym meant. I would say its worth considering if youre looking for something much smaller and lighter, stacks up better with the v3 mini

what's the best ec3-c clone? this xlite v3 is too big and the mini version will release in q1 2024. ergo market is kinda stalling tbh
seems to be some variation with the xlite's opticals, i cant tell any difference in actuation force between my xlite v3 base and ec2-c

So, do you like it?
Model D is such an amazing shape I am really stuck between v3 and the model d 2 pro
As an ergo user coming from the ec2-cw (felt off for some reason) would you recommend the xlite v3 es over the standard xlite v3?
Unless youre looking for a lighter mouse yeah, I think the es is much closer to zowie feeling
Best ergo is old cheese grater xlite bc you can cut it pretty easy and get true ftip 40g mouse with some curves.
