WEBVTT 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.540 is it okay for a YouTuber to make a 00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:10.320 product in a category that they review I 00:00:06.540 --> 00:00:11.639 say yes but only if it's really really 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:17.039 good random prank P then is taking some big 00:00:13.799 --> 00:00:20.220 risks today if his Mouse isn't great it 00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:22.560 means one of two things either he sold 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 00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:32.279 he never figured out it sucks and he loses all his credibility as a mouse 00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:34.800 reviewer meet the Pulsar X2 random Frank 00:00:32.279 --> 00:00:39.300 P edition due to the obvious conflict of interest Frank can't be here to review 00:00:36.660 --> 00:00:43.140 it himself so instead he gets the sphincter tightening experience of 00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:49.440 watching us compare it to the biggest names in the game the good news is that 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:51.840 it is 72 times more precise than one of 00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:57.539 these name brand competitors but the bad news is that based on his videos we're 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 00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:06.900 enough to cash this sweet check from our sponsor 00:01:04.379 --> 00:01:10.320 you like gaming well the folks over at build redox do too and their mission is 00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:13.860 to help you build the gaming rig of your dreams just Pick Your Parts and let them 00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:18.240 take care of the rest check out build Redux at the link below to learn more 00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:22.560 we don't normally spend much time on the unboxing experience but for a YouTuber 00:01:20.700 --> 00:01:27.119 product we consider it absolutely critical to nail it and although it's 00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:32.880 not exceptionally fancy removing this top cover is pretty satisfying mostly 00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:39.060 because of the awesome random Frank P design on the mouse this looks sweet 00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:41.100 and it better because the paint accounts 00:01:39.060 --> 00:01:45.840 for over six percent of the weight of this mouse don't stress though it sounds 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 00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:54.479 lightest mice on the market he cheated a little this is the Mini version but 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 00:01:56.340 --> 00:02:02.600 prefer a palm grip also inside here we find a wireless adapter 00:02:02.939 --> 00:02:07.860 are you kidding me Frankie nowhere to 00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:12.379 store it boo 00:02:09.780 --> 00:02:17.580 there's a braided USB type-c to a cable very nice lightweight and 00:02:15.900 --> 00:02:24.000 trading card did we get a holographic one 00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:26.420 do you know you don't know 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:32.879 does he have holographic ones signed holographic 00:02:28.860 --> 00:02:34.739 Frankie seriously it's me well 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:39.000 that's gonna impact kidding kidding kidding kidding along 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:43.980 with the upgraded paint job Mr Frank P has also selected different switches for 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 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.760 gold encoder for the scroll wheel 00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:57.300 it's delightfully satisfying isn't it at least I hope you're satisfied because 00:02:54.360 --> 00:03:01.739 the ride is over now this is where the random Frank penis of this mouse ends 00:02:59.940 --> 00:03:07.560 but we've gotten ahead of ourselves a little bit here who the heck is pulsar 00:03:04.860 --> 00:03:12.180 founded in 2020 Pulsar is a Korean company with impactable as the key word 00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:16.260 for the brand and affordable Innovation is their motto and that's about the 00:03:14.760 --> 00:03:20.099 entirety of the useful information on their about page what I was also able to 00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:23.879 track down though was that they've been reviewed extraordinarily well by 00:03:21.959 --> 00:03:28.800 multiple Publications but can they stand up to our lab 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:34.260 for comparison we chose three wireless gaming mice in the same price band and 00:03:31.140 --> 00:03:36.840 were immediately impressed by how much 00:03:34.260 --> 00:03:43.140 lighter the Pulsar was the model O2 Wireless comes in second at a relatively 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:45.480 bloated 68 grams and this lightness of 00:03:43.140 --> 00:03:50.760 the X2 makes it feel nearly effortless to use outside of products that cost two 00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:54.780 to three times as much this is the first flyweight class mouse that I felt that 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:59.940 doesn't make some pretty brutal compromises it also feels like Pulsar has 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:04.019 unnaturally low friction on the mouse pad but that might just be the inertia 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 00:04:06.299 --> 00:04:14.099 Frank p O2 Wireless G Pro I use the super light 00:04:11.640 --> 00:04:19.579 day to day this one it's quite a bit heavier and then Viper ultimate okay 00:04:17.220 --> 00:04:24.919 ready oh Viper ultimate with the win 00:04:25.020 --> 00:04:27.560 oh 00:04:28.520 --> 00:04:35.220 and there goes the Jeep wrap it's worth noting that regardless of these results 00:04:32.820 --> 00:04:39.300 all of these mice feel great gliding across a pad sure the Logitech might 00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:44.520 have a tiny bit more friction than the rest but it is still an exceptional 00:04:41.340 --> 00:04:45.780 gaming tool all four use PTFE feet and 00:04:44.520 --> 00:04:49.680 if you aren't satisfied there are companies including Pulsar actually that 00:04:47.580 --> 00:04:52.800 sell glass feet so your mouse regardless of which model it is will slide better 00:04:51.300 --> 00:04:58.620 than any of these for the sensor Pulsar went with the 00:04:55.080 --> 00:05:01.020 Pixar paw 3395 Pixar's current Flagship 00:04:58.620 --> 00:05:06.960 that features 26 000 CPI sensitivity 50g acceleration and 00:05:04.380 --> 00:05:11.100 motion sync motion sync is a new feature that synchronizes when the mouse reads 00:05:09.060 --> 00:05:15.360 the sensor with the polling rate of the mouse in theory making movement feel 00:05:13.020 --> 00:05:18.840 more consistent in practice though basically every high-end gaming mouse in 00:05:17.220 --> 00:05:23.220 the last couple of years has come with a functionally Flawless sensor so unless 00:05:21.300 --> 00:05:27.060 the makers were stupid enough to try to change the behavior of the sensor and 00:05:25.139 --> 00:05:32.520 then botch it the differences should be negligible 00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:34.440 speaking of that the Glorious model O2 00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:39.840 glorious calls the sensor in this mouse the bamf 2.0 but we couldn't help 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:47.220 noticing that it has identical specs to the Paw 3395 and also very likely is the 00:05:43.620 --> 00:05:48.780 Paw 3395 just with some custom tweaks 00:05:47.220 --> 00:05:53.220 from glorious to help them get to their claimed 110 hours of battery life which 00:05:51.479 --> 00:05:58.259 would be really impressive if it didn't come at a terrible cost to 00:05:56.039 --> 00:06:02.880 evaluate sensor performance our Labs team mounted each of our mice to a robot 00:06:00.539 --> 00:06:09.060 that's programmed to move exactly and exactly two inches while the attached PC 00:06:06.300 --> 00:06:14.039 registers each count or Dot from the mouse 00:06:09.960 --> 00:06:17.940 in theory if we move a mouse at 800 DPI 00:06:14.039 --> 00:06:20.340 two inches it should return 1600 counts 00:06:17.940 --> 00:06:24.900 this test is useful for measuring both the accuracy and the Precision of each 00:06:22.919 --> 00:06:29.100 Mouse with the Precision being the one that's more important since accuracy 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:33.780 only really matters if you're switching between mice along with his Mouse Frank 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 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:43.919 Super Glide and the LTT mouse pad lttstore.com 00:06:40.979 --> 00:06:47.819 the Logitech Razer and Frank's Pulsar all performed at what I would consider 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:51.900 to be S tier returning both precision and accuracy that are good enough we can 00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:57.240 confidently say if you're missing your flick shots it ain't your gear bro now 00:06:54.660 --> 00:07:01.860 of the three the Pulsar did have the highest click latency but at 5.9 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:08.340 milliseconds we still consider that good enough for a grade what wasn't good 00:07:04.440 --> 00:07:10.680 enough was the Glorious model O2 a 16.2 00:07:08.340 --> 00:07:14.460 millisecond click latency simply isn't acceptable on a gaming mouse at this 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:20.160 price or even a gaming mouse at half this price more concerningly the 00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:23.340 accuracy and the Precision were both by 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:25.740 far the worst in our field so bad that 00:07:23.340 --> 00:07:31.440 we redid All of the results on three separate mouse pads to verify that yes 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:33.240 the Glorious model O2 sucks 00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:36.960 there is a single bright spot for it though strangely the Precision is quite 00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:41.460 good on the glass super glide through some Quirk of the sensor but the 00:07:39.599 --> 00:07:45.840 accuracy was still terrible and most people don't enjoy a glass mouse pad 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 00:07:47.580 --> 00:07:53.160 done on the latest firmware and software there was a previous version that had 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:56.759 connectivity issues that's all been solved but these test results go to show 00:07:55.259 --> 00:08:01.259 that they've taken this mouse from broken to bad to confirm that we didn't 00:07:59.340 --> 00:08:05.819 have some glorious specific problem with our testing we even grabbed the original 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 00:08:08.340 --> 00:08:13.500 new problem with that one we couldn't get the original model o to be 00:08:11.400 --> 00:08:19.319 recognized in software on three separate computers yeah it sucks 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 00:08:21.180 --> 00:08:27.240 glorious doesn't have older versions of their software on their site we had to 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:31.259 risk computer herpes by using a sketchy link online in order to get it working 00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:37.080 which it fortunately did but unfortunately for glorious the original 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:39.899 model o annihilated the O2 which is very 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:44.159 awkward so on the whole we're just gonna hard not recommend either the model 00:08:41.880 --> 00:08:47.940 though or the O2 until glorious makes some serious changes 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 00:08:52.740 --> 00:08:59.880 the first mouse that random Frank P reviewed since releasing his own Mouse 00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:05.519 and while he and I came to the same conclusions do I recommend this mouse no 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 00:09:08.040 --> 00:09:14.519 because the safest path he could have taken with this thing especially given 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:18.420 the proximity to his own product launch would have been to criticize it for its 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 00:09:20.880 --> 00:09:27.120 piss-poor performance in Ford's overall performance I personally had no issues I 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 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:37.080 reviewed units early and stuff that was causing some like lag or stutter but my 00:09:34.380 --> 00:09:43.019 unit felt just fine which kind of makes us wonder is the excellent performance 00:09:39.660 --> 00:09:44.580 of his co-branded Mouse by Design or is 00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:48.120 it just a happy accident I mean it's possible he just saw a lot 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:52.980 of things he really liked from pulsar and trusted them to do a good job which 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:57.420 frankly pun intended seems to have worked out for him and what's definitely 00:09:55.140 --> 00:10:01.920 not accidental is the subjective experience of using the X2 mini everyone 00:09:59.940 --> 00:10:07.440 who has touched it here which includes Alex our peripheral specialist for the 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:10.260 lab and me loves the feel of this thing 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 00:10:12.300 --> 00:10:19.860 can say is that all three of us come from different mice as our daily drivers 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:21.060 and thanks Alex have very different hand 00:10:19.860 --> 00:10:26.519 sizes this is a darn nice ergonomic design the 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:29.940 switches feel great the rated 70 hours of battery life had Alex using it all 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:34.380 week without needing to charge it once and all of this somehow happens without 00:10:32.459 --> 00:10:39.120 an influencer tax on the very competitive 95 price 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:42.660 so what can I say outstanding job Mr Frank p 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:46.740 but Linus you might say are you just Shilling for your YouTuber bro what 00:10:44.880 --> 00:10:50.760 about that extra latency and the worst performance in your movement benchmarks 00:10:48.300 --> 00:10:55.140 my response to that is a I don't know him basically at all for 00:10:52.680 --> 00:11:00.240 one thing no offense and B I just want to reiterate that three of 00:10:57.540 --> 00:11:04.320 our four mice here were s-tier and the deciding factor should be how it feels 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 00:11:07.680 --> 00:11:14.279 percent Precision difference now sadly I can't yet pass these through 00:11:12.660 --> 00:11:18.420 the screen to you for you to experience for yourself we don't have the 00:11:15.959 --> 00:11:22.220 technology yet but what we do have is a link to where to buy
