Pulsar X3 Mini DAY ONE impressions/thoughts!
Hello my mouse lovers and enthusiasts!
Today is going to be a quick and short post. I have just received the BRAND NEW Pulsar x3 Mini (white) and I just wanted to talk about my first day thoughts about the mouse. I should clarify that THIS IS NOT MY FULL REVIEW! This is basically just my quick thoughts about the mouse itself and how it feels straight out of the box. My full review should be out in about 2 weeks from now.
WHAT I LIKE SO FAR:
- The main switches and side switches are unbelievably crispy holy sh*t
- The coating is that perfect mixture of smooth, but not slippery.
- The new Pulsar Fusion Driver is an awesome upgrade from what they were using before.
- The sensor feels very responsive.
- The shape is SO good. Finally we have basically an updated G703 and I couldn't be happier. Such a unique shape that I love.
- Only 52g.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE SO FAR:
- Scroll wheel feels pretty cheap. Both scrolling and clicking just feels awful. Especially for a $100 mouse.
- It won't connect to my Pulsar 4k Dongle and I don't know why. I've update all the firmware on the mouse and 4k dongle and it still doesn't work.
- While the side buttons are crispy, there is a decent amount of pre-travel.
- Factory skates are meh. Definitely gonna get aftermarket skates at some point.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Like I said before, this isn't my official review. So things may change after 2 weeks. Right now I'm sort of in the middle. I love the shape and clicks are nice. But things like the scroll wheel just feel cheap. Which wouldn't normally be a big issue, but this is a $100 mouse. So I do expect a level of quality especially from Pulsar.
If you have any other questions about the Pulsar x3 Mini, let me know in the comments.
Thanks for reading and have a great rest of your day.
