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.”

+48 pts“Original Beast X is a steal for $65, but keep in mind WLmouse has pretty much abandoned firmware updates for it. Also the battery life is pretty awful and will likely never be fixed.”
