Cooler Master MM720 vs Pulsar X2: Comparison
What is the difference between Cooler Master MM720 and Pulsar X2?
Sensor model is the dividing line, Cooler Master MM720 PixArt PMW3389 against Pulsar X2 PAW3395 Optical, up to 26,000 DPI. The weight figures are near enough to ignore, 49 g on the Cooler Master MM720 versus 52 g on the Pulsar X2. There is a split on connectivity as well, Wired on the Cooler Master MM720 versus Wireless on the Pulsar X2.
Who each one is for
Buy the Cooler Master MM720 for FPS players who want the lowest possible wired weight and claw and fingertip grip users wanting a small symmetrical shell, though it is not the pick for palm grip users wanting a fuller shell and anyone who wants a wireless connection. Take the Pulsar X2 for competitive players who want featherweight performance without Finalmouse-level pricing or scarcity. The same goes for anyone who prefers a symmetrical shape over the DeathAdder's ergonomic curve. Avoid it for buyers who want a full first-party software suite and RGB customization ecosystem. Our rating of the Cooler Master MM720 (8/10): one of the lightest wired mice on the market, backed by a genuinely flagship sensor rather than budget internals.
Where the two are identical
The common ground is wider than the gap: grip type and shape are identical here.
