Buying a Pulsar mouse online without holding it: the hand measurements that matter

You cannot pick up a mouse through a screen, so the numbers have to do the holding for you. Buying a Pulsar mouse online works well when you bring two measurements from your own hand and set them against the length, width and height printed for each shell. Pulsar's own advice is to check length and width against your hand, and the whole range is listed in millimetres precisely for that.

Quick Answer

Measure your hand from the base of the palm to the longest fingertip, and across the knuckles at the widest point. Then compare both figures with the shell dimensions: lengths run from 115.6mm on the X2 CrazyLight Mini and Xlite CrazyLight Mini to 126mm on CARPE-X, widths from 61mm to 69.5mm, and heights from 36.6mm to 43.5mm. Evetech sells online only, so those figures are your fit test.

📐 Step one: take two measurements

You need a ruler or a soft tape and about two minutes.

1. Length. Lay your hand flat on a table, fingers together. Run the tape from where the wrist begins, at the base of the palm, up to your longest fingertip.
2. Width. Measure across the knuckles at the base of the four fingers, at the widest point. Do it twice, with the hand relaxed and with it slightly spread, and note both.
3. Grip. Write down the hold you actually use, palm, claw or fingertip. It changes which dimension matters most.

Keep these in a note on your phone. They are the same numbers you will compare against every listing, so you will not need to measure again.

📏 Step two: read the range as a ladder

Evetech lists Pulsar mice in Mini and Medium sizes only. No large shell exists, so a very big hand should read the top of the ladder first. Here is how the shells stack up by length.

• 115.6mm: the X2 CrazyLight Mini (61 wide, 36.6 tall) and the Xlite CrazyLight Mini (63.4 wide, 40.7 tall).
• 118.7 to 121mm: Susanto-X (118.7mm), The Chosen Gen.2 (119.4mm), the X3 LHD CrazyLight Mini (119.6mm), the X2 CrazyLight Medium and X2H CrazyLight Medium (both 120.4mm) and JV-X (121mm).
• 122 to 124.7mm: the Xlite CrazyLight Medium (122mm), BUZZ-X (124.6mm) and the X3 CrazyLight Medium (124.7mm).
• 126mm: CARPE-X, the longest.

Width tells you the other half. The X2 CrazyLight Mini is the narrowest at 61mm, Susanto-X and JV-X sit at 62.3mm and 62mm, and the X3 CrazyLight Medium is the broadest at 69.5mm, with The Chosen Gen.2 close behind at 67.5mm.

🧮 Step three: let grip pick the dimension

Length and width do not carry equal weight for every hold.

Palm grip

A palm hold rests the whole hand on the shell, so length and height both matter. A shell that is too short leaves the heel of the hand hanging off the back. The Xlite CrazyLight Medium (122mm long, 43mm tall), the X3 CrazyLight Medium and The Chosen Gen.2 (43.5mm tall) are built for this, and their pages list palm as the hold.

Claw and relaxed claw

Claw hands arch the fingers and use the rear of the palm, so height and waist shape count for more than raw length. The X2 CrazyLight and Susanto-X are the lower shells here, at about 38mm, while BUZZ-X at 40mm adds a low hump and a wide waist.

Fingertip

Fingertip hands push the shell with a few fingertips, so a short, low body helps. Only the X2 CrazyLight lists fingertip, and the Mini at 115.6mm is the shortest option.

🛒 Step four: when two shells fit

If your measurements fall between two shells, compare width before length. A palm that fills a 66mm Xlite shell does not always fill the 69.5mm X3, and a narrow palm may find the X3 too wide to control. Measure the widest point twice, since it is the figure that tends to be off by a millimetre or two.

Weight is the last thing to consult. It runs from 35g on the X2 CrazyLight Mini to 62g on The Chosen Gen.2 in Pulsar's listings, and it sits independently from size: a shell can be long and light or short and heavy, so settle the fit first.

🇿🇦 Buying with no showroom

Evetech has no showroom, so a South African buyer cannot hold a Pulsar mouse before ordering. That is why the dimensions matter. The same XS-1 sensor, receiver in the box and 2.4GHz wireless link sit in every model, which means a wrong size is a shell problem and never a tracking problem. Each product page at Evetech lists its dimensions and its price. The gaming mice range holds them all, and the wireless mouse range filters to the cordless ones. Once you have your hand length and width, the Pulsar selection lets you hold those numbers against each shell.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I measure?

Hand length from the base of the palm to the longest fingertip, plus palm width across the knuckles. A ruler or tape is enough.

What range of lengths do the mice cover?

From 115.6mm on the X2 CrazyLight Mini and Xlite CrazyLight Mini up to 126mm on CARPE-X, with Medium shells between.

How wide and tall are they?

Widths run from 61mm on the X2 CrazyLight Mini to 69.5mm on the X3 CrazyLight Medium. Heights run from 36.6mm to 43.5mm on The Chosen Gen.2.

Which sizes does Evetech carry?

Mini and Medium. There is no large Pulsar mouse, so a big palm should look at the X3 CrazyLight Medium or CARPE-X first.

What if I fall between two sizes?

Compare width as well as length, and measure the widest point twice before deciding.

Does my grip change the answer?

Yes. Palm hands lean on length and height, claw hands on height and waist shape, fingertip hands on a short low body.
