Pulsar X2V2

[pzogel]

The ambidextrous Pulsar X2V2 is a thorough overhaul of the X2. At 51 g, the X2V2 is a decent bit lighter, comes with an improved custom scroll wheel encoder, and now utilizes optical switches for the main buttons. PixArt's PAW3395 sensor is still used, and Pulsar cites up to 100 hours of battery life. Lastly, the X2V2 supports true 4000 Hz wireless polling with a separately available dongle.

Really appreciate these reviews. This could be my next mouse.

That click latency is surprisingly high for opticals. Not actually high by any means, obviously, just wondering why we don’t see sub-1 ms results more often. Hell, the M4 Air is just 1000Hz, runs mechanicals and has one of the best results. You’d think that with opticals and at 4K more mice would be close to M2K or Hydrogen.

Optical switches don't have inherently lower latency, rather they allow running lower debounce time without double-clicking due to wear and tear ever occurring, unlike mechanicals. Click latency is ultimately determined by the debouncing algorithm, and since the X2V2 is running virtually the same firmware (from CompX) also found on mice from LAMZU, VGN, and so on, the latency is essentially the same, too.
