Endgame Gear XM2we vs Pulsar X2: Comparison

Endgame Gear XM2we vs Pulsar X2 weight compared

The gap that matters here is weight: Endgame Gear XM2we 66 g against Pulsar X2 52 g, which puts Pulsar X2 27% ahead. They differ on sensor model too, PixArt PAW3370, up to 19,000 DPI on the Endgame Gear XM2we versus PAW3395 Optical, up to 26,000 DPI on the Pulsar X2.

Which should you buy, Endgame Gear XM2we or Pulsar X2?

The Endgame Gear XM2we is the one to take for fans of the XM1/XM2 symmetrical shape and ambidextrous claw and palm grip users, though it is not the pick for players who specifically want 4000Hz or 8000Hz polling and anyone wanting RGB lighting. Take the Pulsar X2 for competitive players who want featherweight performance without Finalmouse-level pricing or scarcity. It is equally the pick 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 Endgame Gear XM2we (8/10): A comfortable, no-frills wireless upgrade for fans of Endgame Gear's XM shape.
