The Pulsar Xlite V2 Wireless is exceptionally well-built, lightweight, and has a fast wireless click latency, making it a perfect choice for competitive gamers. But its lack of app compatibility with MacOS and L/R tilting buttons might deter some users.
First released back in early 2022, the Pulsar Xlite V2 Wireless is a high-end gaming mouse that boasts a contoured design with a comfortable right-handed shape for palm grip gamers. Similar to many of the most popular computer mouse options available in its range, this mouse uses a USB receiver (also has a USB dongle extension cable for better wireless range, but no storage space for the wireless receiver) for wireless connectivity. And just like highly ranked gaming mouse models, this product sports an extremely low wireless latency of just 1 ms.
This mouse features a total of five programmable buttons, which you can customize using the Pulsar customization software. However, if you need even more mouse buttons, then make sure to take a look at our Razer Basilisk Ultimate review. The Xlite features a built-in rechargeable battery that provides around 70 hours of battery life on a single charge.

our Verdict
The Pulsar Xlite V2 Wireless is a superb option for competitive FPS gamers looking for a durable and feature-rich wireless gaming mouse. It sports a premium feeling precise rubber notched 24-stepped full-sized scroll wheel, but it lacks L/R tilting buttons or free scrolling.

Weighing just 60.4 grams, the Xlite V2 is extremely lightweight for competitive FPS gaming. And tested at 1 ms, it features a supremely fast wireless click latency for quick responsiveness. And it has an ergonomically comfortable shape for all grip types.

The older Pulsar Xlite Wireless is a direct predecessor to the newer Pulsar Xlite V2 Wireless, and they both feature a similar-looking ergonomic shape for right-handed users. As a result, both of them perform nearly identically in most regards. However, the Pulsar Xlite V2 Wireless does feel a bit comfier than the older Pulsar Xlite Wireless, thanks to it not having the same pill-shaped cutouts on its sides. And the newer Pulsar Xlite V2 Wireless has a marginally raised scroll wheel than the older Pulsar Wireless.
