ViewTop Criticism
+31 pts“I’m so over pulsar with there 1000 releases. Instead of making a good mouse they make a mouse then a month later have a new drop that slightly improved and then a month later have a new drop that slightly improved I’m over it. And the coating on the pulsar xlite v3 litterally comes off if you use their grips.”

+28 pts“the thorn is the most unique of these shapes and if you already know you like the deathadder I'd say go for that. if you have smaller hands maybe look at the deathadder hyperspeed.”

+19 pts“I've used the thorn for a week now and I'll say that the battery is kinda weird. Sometimes if loses charge quickly and sometimes it loses charge slowly. But on a full charge the battery lasts about 5 days for me. (1K HP mode)”
