1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,540
is it okay for a YouTuber to make a

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:10,320
product in a category that they review I

3
00:00:06,540 --> 00:00:11,639
say yes but only if it's really really

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:17,039
good random prank P then is taking some big

5
00:00:13,799 --> 00:00:20,220
risks today if his Mouse isn't great it

6
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:22,560
means one of two things either he sold

7
00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:27,240
out and agreed to slap his brand on a product he doesn't truly believe in or

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:32,279
he never figured out it sucks and he loses all his credibility as a mouse

9
00:00:28,980 --> 00:00:34,800
reviewer meet the Pulsar X2 random Frank

10
00:00:32,279 --> 00:00:39,300
P edition due to the obvious conflict of interest Frank can't be here to review

11
00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:43,140
it himself so instead he gets the sphincter tightening experience of

12
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:49,440
watching us compare it to the biggest names in the game the good news is that

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,840
it is 72 times more precise than one of

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:57,539
these name brand competitors but the bad news is that based on his videos we're

15
00:00:55,020 --> 00:01:03,180
not sure that he knew that so did he get lucky here and if so how lucky not lucky

16
00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:06,900
enough to cash this sweet check from our sponsor

17
00:01:04,379 --> 00:01:10,320

20
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:22,560
we don't normally spend much time on the unboxing experience but for a YouTuber

21
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:27,119
product we consider it absolutely critical to nail it and although it's

22
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:32,880
not exceptionally fancy removing this top cover is pretty satisfying mostly

23
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:39,060
because of the awesome random Frank P design on the mouse this looks sweet

24
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,100
and it better because the paint accounts

25
00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:45,840
for over six percent of the weight of this mouse don't stress though it sounds

26
00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:50,640
like a lot but with a total weight of just 56 grams it is still one of the

27
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:54,479
lightest mice on the market he cheated a little this is the Mini version but

28
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:59,040
there's a larger one that comes in at just 59 grams for those of you who

29
00:01:56,340 --> 00:02:02,600
prefer a palm grip also inside here we find a wireless adapter

30
00:02:02,939 --> 00:02:07,860
are you kidding me Frankie nowhere to

31
00:02:05,939 --> 00:02:12,379
store it boo

32
00:02:09,780 --> 00:02:17,580
there's a braided USB type-c to a cable very nice lightweight and

33
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:24,000
trading card did we get a holographic one

34
00:02:20,220 --> 00:02:26,420
do you know you don't know

35
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:32,879
does he have holographic ones signed holographic

36
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:34,739
Frankie seriously it's me well

37
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:39,000
that's gonna impact kidding kidding kidding kidding along

38
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:43,980
with the upgraded paint job Mr Frank P has also selected different switches for

39
00:02:41,340 --> 00:02:49,760
his version of the X2 he went with wano blue shell pink dot switches and a TTC

40
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:49,760
gold encoder for the scroll wheel

41
00:02:50,340 --> 00:02:57,300
it's delightfully satisfying isn't it at least I hope you're satisfied because

42
00:02:54,360 --> 00:03:01,739
the ride is over now this is where the random Frank penis of this mouse ends

43
00:02:59,940 --> 00:03:07,560
but we've gotten ahead of ourselves a little bit here who the heck is pulsar

44
00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:12,180
founded in 2020 Pulsar is a Korean company with impactable as the key word

45
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:16,260
for the brand and affordable Innovation is their motto and that's about the

46
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:20,099
entirety of the useful information on their about page what I was also able to

47
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,879
track down though was that they've been reviewed extraordinarily well by

48
00:03:21,959 --> 00:03:28,800
multiple Publications but can they stand up to our lab

49
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:34,260
for comparison we chose three wireless gaming mice in the same price band and

50
00:03:31,140 --> 00:03:36,840
were immediately impressed by how much

51
00:03:34,260 --> 00:03:43,140
lighter the Pulsar was the model O2 Wireless comes in second at a relatively

52
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:45,480
bloated 68 grams and this lightness of

53
00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:50,760
the X2 makes it feel nearly effortless to use outside of products that cost two

54
00:03:48,180 --> 00:03:54,780
to three times as much this is the first flyweight class mouse that I felt that

55
00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:59,940
doesn't make some pretty brutal compromises it also feels like Pulsar has

56
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:04,019
unnaturally low friction on the mouse pad but that might just be the inertia

57
00:04:02,459 --> 00:04:07,680
kind of screwing with me so we're going to put it to the test X too many random

58
00:04:06,299 --> 00:04:14,099
Frank p O2 Wireless G Pro I use the super light

59
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:19,579
day to day this one it's quite a bit heavier and then Viper ultimate okay

60
00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:24,919
ready oh Viper ultimate with the win

61
00:04:25,020 --> 00:04:27,560
oh

62
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:35,220
and there goes the Jeep wrap it's worth noting that regardless of these results

63
00:04:32,820 --> 00:04:39,300
all of these mice feel great gliding across a pad sure the Logitech might

64
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:44,520
have a tiny bit more friction than the rest but it is still an exceptional

65
00:04:41,340 --> 00:04:45,780
gaming tool all four use PTFE feet and

66
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,680
if you aren't satisfied there are companies including Pulsar actually that

67
00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:52,800
sell glass feet so your mouse regardless of which model it is will slide better

68
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:58,620
than any of these for the sensor Pulsar went with the

69
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:01,020
Pixar paw 3395 Pixar's current Flagship

70
00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:06,960
that features 26 000 CPI sensitivity 50g acceleration and

71
00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:11,100
motion sync motion sync is a new feature that synchronizes when the mouse reads

72
00:05:09,060 --> 00:05:15,360
the sensor with the polling rate of the mouse in theory making movement feel

73
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:18,840
more consistent in practice though basically every high-end gaming mouse in

74
00:05:17,220 --> 00:05:23,220
the last couple of years has come with a functionally Flawless sensor so unless

75
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:27,060
the makers were stupid enough to try to change the behavior of the sensor and

76
00:05:25,139 --> 00:05:32,520
then botch it the differences should be negligible

77
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:34,440
speaking of that the Glorious model O2

78
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:39,840
glorious calls the sensor in this mouse the bamf 2.0 but we couldn't help

79
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:47,220
noticing that it has identical specs to the Paw 3395 and also very likely is the

80
00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:48,780
Paw 3395 just with some custom tweaks

81
00:05:47,220 --> 00:05:53,220
from glorious to help them get to their claimed 110 hours of battery life which

82
00:05:51,479 --> 00:05:58,259
would be really impressive if it didn't come at a terrible cost to

83
00:05:56,039 --> 00:06:02,880
evaluate sensor performance our Labs team mounted each of our mice to a robot

84
00:06:00,539 --> 00:06:09,060
that's programmed to move exactly and exactly two inches while the attached PC

85
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:14,039
registers each count or Dot from the mouse

86
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:17,940
in theory if we move a mouse at 800 DPI

87
00:06:14,039 --> 00:06:20,340
two inches it should return 1600 counts

88
00:06:17,940 --> 00:06:24,900
this test is useful for measuring both the accuracy and the Precision of each

89
00:06:22,919 --> 00:06:29,100
Mouse with the Precision being the one that's more important since accuracy

90
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:33,780
only really matters if you're switching between mice along with his Mouse Frank

91
00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:38,940
also sent along a glass mouse pad so we ran all of our results on both the glass

92
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:43,919
Super Glide and the LTT mouse pad lttstore.com

93
00:06:40,979 --> 00:06:47,819
the Logitech Razer and Frank's Pulsar all performed at what I would consider

94
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:51,900
to be S tier returning both precision and accuracy that are good enough we can

95
00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:57,240
confidently say if you're missing your flick shots it ain't your gear bro now

96
00:06:54,660 --> 00:07:01,860
of the three the Pulsar did have the highest click latency but at 5.9

97
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:08,340
milliseconds we still consider that good enough for a grade what wasn't good

98
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:10,680
enough was the Glorious model O2 a 16.2

99
00:07:08,340 --> 00:07:14,460
millisecond click latency simply isn't acceptable on a gaming mouse at this

100
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:20,160
price or even a gaming mouse at half this price more concerningly the

101
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:23,340
accuracy and the Precision were both by

102
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,740
far the worst in our field so bad that

103
00:07:23,340 --> 00:07:31,440
we redid All of the results on three separate mouse pads to verify that yes

104
00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:33,240
the Glorious model O2 sucks

105
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,960
there is a single bright spot for it though strangely the Precision is quite

106
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:41,460
good on the glass super glide through some Quirk of the sensor but the

107
00:07:39,599 --> 00:07:45,840
accuracy was still terrible and most people don't enjoy a glass mouse pad

108
00:07:43,740 --> 00:07:49,680
now we want to make it clear that all of our testing on the model O2 Wireless was

109
00:07:47,580 --> 00:07:53,160
done on the latest firmware and software there was a previous version that had

110
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:56,759
connectivity issues that's all been solved but these test results go to show

111
00:07:55,259 --> 00:08:01,259
that they've taken this mouse from broken to bad to confirm that we didn't

112
00:07:59,340 --> 00:08:05,819
have some glorious specific problem with our testing we even grabbed the original

113
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:09,780
model o a mouse that scored very well on ratings and tech power up but we got a

114
00:08:08,340 --> 00:08:13,500
new problem with that one we couldn't get the original model o to be

115
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:19,319
recognized in software on three separate computers yeah it sucks

116
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:23,400
it sucks and as it turns out we're not the only ones with the problem since

117
00:08:21,180 --> 00:08:27,240
glorious doesn't have older versions of their software on their site we had to

118
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:31,259
risk computer herpes by using a sketchy link online in order to get it working

119
00:08:28,860 --> 00:08:37,080
which it fortunately did but unfortunately for glorious the original

120
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:39,899
model o annihilated the O2 which is very

121
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:44,159
awkward so on the whole we're just gonna hard not recommend either the model

122
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:47,940
though or the O2 until glorious makes some serious changes

123
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:54,660
but why are we talking about glorious right now ah because the O2 Wireless happens to be

124
00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:59,880
the first mouse that random Frank P reviewed since releasing his own Mouse

125
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:05,519
and while he and I came to the same conclusions do I recommend this mouse no

126
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:10,200
don't buy it we don't have the same reasons for it and this is weird to me

127
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:14,519
because the safest path he could have taken with this thing especially given

128
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:18,420
the proximity to his own product launch would have been to criticize it for its

129
00:09:16,860 --> 00:09:23,100
piss-poor performance and then say don't buy it but he didn't seem to notice the

130
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:27,120
piss-poor performance in Ford's overall performance I personally had no issues I

131
00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:31,620
know there have been some reports out there I guess of like the current software for people who got like

132
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:37,080
reviewed units early and stuff that was causing some like lag or stutter but my

133
00:09:34,380 --> 00:09:43,019
unit felt just fine which kind of makes us wonder is the excellent performance

134
00:09:39,660 --> 00:09:44,580
of his co-branded Mouse by Design or is

135
00:09:43,019 --> 00:09:48,120
it just a happy accident I mean it's possible he just saw a lot

136
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:52,980
of things he really liked from pulsar and trusted them to do a good job which

137
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:57,420
frankly pun intended seems to have worked out for him and what's definitely

138
00:09:55,140 --> 00:10:01,920
not accidental is the subjective experience of using the X2 mini everyone

139
00:09:59,940 --> 00:10:07,440
who has touched it here which includes Alex our peripheral specialist for the

140
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:10,260
lab and me loves the feel of this thing

141
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:14,279
I mean we can't say for sure that your experience will mirror ours but what we

142
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:19,860
can say is that all three of us come from different mice as our daily drivers

143
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,060
and thanks Alex have very different hand

144
00:10:19,860 --> 00:10:26,519
sizes this is a darn nice ergonomic design the

145
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,940
switches feel great the rated 70 hours of battery life had Alex using it all

146
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:34,380
week without needing to charge it once and all of this somehow happens without

147
00:10:32,459 --> 00:10:39,120
an influencer tax on the very competitive 95 price

148
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:42,660
so what can I say outstanding job Mr Frank p

149
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:46,740
but Linus you might say are you just Shilling for your YouTuber bro what

150
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:50,760
about that extra latency and the worst performance in your movement benchmarks

151
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:55,140
my response to that is a I don't know him basically at all for

152
00:10:52,680 --> 00:11:00,240
one thing no offense and B I just want to reiterate that three of

153
00:10:57,540 --> 00:11:04,320
our four mice here were s-tier and the deciding factor should be how it feels

154
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:09,480
in your hand or how it looks on your desk as opposed to the point zero three

155
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:14,279
percent Precision difference now sadly I can't yet pass these through

156
00:11:12,660 --> 00:11:18,420
the screen to you for you to experience for yourself we don't have the

157
00:11:15,959 --> 00:11:22,220
