Introduction

Founded in 2020, Pulsar is a gaming peripherals company based in Korea. With the Xlite V3, Pulsar upgrades the previous V2 across the board. The most immediately notable change is that any holes have been done away with, though an open-bottom design still is employed. In addition, the main buttons no longer extend across the entire width, but are framed by ledges now. Despite these changes, the Xlite V3 Size 3 (Large) is very light at 59 g. As for the sensor, PixArt's PAW3395 capable of 26,000 CPI sees use, coupled with optical main button switches from RAESHA, which are immune to developing double-clicking due to wear and tear over time. The scroll wheel likely has received an upgrade in terms of durability, as Pulsar's custom dust-proof "Blue" encoder is used. The shape of the feet is unchanged over the V2, and they are still made of pure PTFE. Pulsar cites up to 100 hours of battery life, and the usual customization options are found in the software. The Pulsar Xlite V3 is available in three sizes: Small (Size 1), Medium (Size 2), and Large (Size 3), with each available either in black or white.
