Month-end is when South African gamers sit with a screen full of tabs and ask whether a second mouse is a need or an itch. For anyone who already owns a Pulsar X2 CrazyLight, the X2H CrazyLight is the tempting sibling: same length, a touch wider, a higher hump. Whether that is a fix or a flourish depends on one thing, which is what your hand does on the shell you already have.

Quick Answer

Move to the Pulsar X2H CrazyLight Medium only if your relaxed claw hovers over the low hump of the X2 CrazyLight. Both Mediums are 120.4mm long, but the X2H is 65mm wide against 63mm and 39mm tall against 38mm, and it weighs 43g against 39g. Everything that drives tracking is shared, so a comfortable X2 owner gains nothing from it. The price of the X2H is on its product page at Evetech.

📐 The shape changes, in millimetres

The Pulsar X2 CrazyLight Medium measures 120.4 x 63 x 38mm and carries a symmetrical, low hump with a wide waist, aimed at claw and fingertip grips. The Pulsar X2H CrazyLight Medium keeps the 120.4mm length and the symmetrical outline but measures 65mm across and 39mm high, with a higher hump, and it is listed for claw and relaxed claw. That is a small step, and a hand notices small steps: two millimetres of width is the difference between fingers that wrap the sides and fingers that rest on them.

Weight moves with the shell. The X2 Medium is about 39g with dot skates fitted (41g on regular skates), while the X2H is about 43g (45g). Four grams is not a lot, but it is the sort of figure that tells you the hump is solid and the feel is a touch more planted.

🖐️ Who actually gains from the move

A relaxed claw means the palm rests partly on the shell and the fingers arch gently. On a low hump, that palm can sink toward the mat and the grip drifts into something flatter than you intended. If that sounds like your hand after a long session, the X2H gives the palm somewhere to land, and aim tends to feel steadier when the hand stops searching for the shell.

If you grip the X2 in a true claw or on your fingertips and it feels natural, the X2H changes little. Fingertip is listed for the X2 only, so a fingertip player moves away from their listed grip by switching. And if your X2 is the Mini (115.6mm long, about 35g), the X2H is not a taller version of what you own. It exists only in Medium, so it would mean a bigger mouse, not just a higher hump.

🔧 What stays exactly the same

Nothing about the electronics improves. Both mice use the XS-1 sensor rated at up to 32,000 DPI and 750 IPS, both carry optical switches rated at 100 million clicks, and both use an 8K dongle for their wireless link. Each also holds 16 dot skates in the box and is set up in the Pulsar mouse software. So the question is shape alone, and shape is easy to test: look at how your palm sits on the mouse you already have, and be honest about where it slips.

🧮 Month-end maths, in words

A second mouse of nearly the same shape is a tweak, not a new feature set. The spending logic is short. If your current mouse causes discomfort or poor control, a better-fitting shell is a fair reason to spend. If it does not, keep the money for something that changes your setup more, such as a new pad or a monitor. Evetech sells both models in South Africa, but a mouse you already own and like is the best test of whether the X2H is needed.

Look through the gaming mouse range to compare shapes, or the wireless mouse picks if cable-free is your only filter. A home-office mouse and a match-night mouse can come from the same Pulsar range at Evetech, so browse it before choosing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who gains from moving from an X2 CrazyLight to the X2H CrazyLight?

Players whose palm sinks off the low X2 CrazyLight shell. The X2H CrazyLight is 2mm wider and 1mm taller, with a higher hump.

What stays the same between them?

The 120.4mm length, the XS-1 sensor, 100M-click optical switches, the 8K dongle and the symmetrical outline. Nothing about tracking changes.

What gets heavier?

The X2H CrazyLight weighs 43g with dot skates against 39g for the X2 CrazyLight Medium, or 45g against 41g on regular skates.

Does the grip advice change?

Slightly. The X2H CrazyLight is listed for claw and relaxed claw, so a claw hand that has been relaxing over time may find the taller shell kinder.

What does an X2 CrazyLight Mini owner lose by switching?

The Mini is a smaller shell at 115.6mm, while the X2H CrazyLight exists only in Medium, so a small hand would be moving to a larger shape, not a taller one.

Is a second mouse worth saving for at month-end?

Only if your current shape causes discomfort or poor control. A same-length mouse with a taller hump is a tweak.
