Korean peripheral brand Pulsar has unveiled its latest gaming mouse, the X5, which made its debut at the TGS2026 Tokyo Game Show. This new model is engineered with a pronounced right-handed ergonomic design, featuring a substantial thumb rest and a sculpted side skirt. Adding to its functionality, the left side boasts two standard buttons along with an additional large side button located towards the front.
Advanced Connectivity and Sensor Technology
The Pulsar X5 offers versatile connectivity options, supporting both 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth connections, ensuring flexibility for different gaming setups and preferences.
