Hey everybody mel0n here welcome back to another video! Today we're doing something a little different on the channel, today I'll be showing you how to fix the sticky click issue on the Pulsar X2V2, X2H and X2A! Now Thankfully pulsar has made these mice pretty easy to service but unfortunately you have to void your 2 yr warranty via Pulsar. I hope this video is helpful to you all and I'll catch you all the next video! Peace ✌

Pulsar was kind enough to send out both the X2V2 & X2H for previous reviews but this video is not sponsored or endorsed by Pulsar.

Hey everyone, small update for you all: So it appears like Pulsar has "patched" this issue on the newer batches of the X2H, X2V2 and X2H preventing this issue. I also confirmed that this issue isn't present on the Xlite v3, X2H eS or the Xlite eS editions. I'll do my best to get my hands on some newer batch models to see if they're truly patched the issue. If for whatever reason they haven't the fix in this video still applies to the X2H, X2A and X2V2. Thanks for watching 💜

Does pulsar provide a replacement copy if you currently own an older "pre-patch" model? Also, is there a way to tell if you have an old vs new model?

wonder when they started this because I bought an x2v2 a month ago and I'm having sticky clicks following this vid now

Not sure, I’d reach out to pulsar or where you purchased it from and inquire about warranty support.

great video man! I just did this little thing even after a week if owning my X2H and it feels so much better and the click is more instant I would say. Got hooked when you said the clicks are like Deathadder V3, since these have my fav clicks ever.. So I tried it out even doe I didnt had sticky clicks in the first place. Thanks again and keep posting such W content!!!

Fantastic video and info! I had the sticky click issue on my X2A which was less than a month old. I took it apart and it was the archway contact pad issue you described. The contact pad was damaged so in a resting position the left click stuck to it, so the first click always felt sticky. I removed it and all is well now. I don't hear or feel a difference in the click. I could have RMAed it, but felt like a waste for such a small issue that is easily fixable. After soldiering on new switches onto my GPW and G903, this was pretty simple.

You saved this mouse for me, X2V2 mini to be specific. Had this issue in the first month of buying it but didn't want to go through the RMA process plus my tinkering side got the better of me. Only on the fourth disassembly today did I actually google someone doing this... I was too dense to realize the switch pads weren't the only thing that could be causing this, thank you!

Very well done melon. I love mod/fix vids. I stopped doing cable mod vids because wireless took off. Now Imma have to take my X2V2 apart and do this fix too. Hope my vid is as good as yours. Insta sub brother. Been wondering what was causing the sticky clicks. I love Pulsar. Some of my favorite mice. But man, it's like they fix one thing, the scroll wheel, and then something else pops up, sticky clicks. Sooner or later they will get it right. This will be included in my actual review of my X2V2 thanks to you. Keep up the great work man. The mouse enthusiasts world needs us. Lol. Better than rma honestly and fun too.

This is great! Do you think masking or aluminum tape applied over the pads would work to counter the stickiness from those pads? Love the solution but not so much the added pre/post travel for the clicks.

You could cover the pads with tape 100%, just make sure it’d cut to the pieces to the proper size.

Does removing the pads create more pre-travel? I've seen some replace those dumb pads with foil tape. Very insightful video thanks!

@mel0nFPS 4 ай бұрын

Technically more pre-travel but since the rubber pads are sunk into the shell there isn't a massive change, maybe 0.5mm or lower. The main difference will be the sound as there's no rubber/foam to dampen the sound.

@Fatal-Error-G1 4 ай бұрын

So what if we just removed the pad on the click bars themselves and not on the bottom part? Would that stop the extra click distance? Just thinking.

@mel0nFPS 4 ай бұрын

Could be the stabilizer releasing from the pad or it could be a defective switch. If you just got it I'd RMA it instead of voiding the warranty since you just bought it

could this issue be why sometimes i scope in (mainly have this issue in fortnite lol) and my gun simply wont shoot? for the longest time i thought it was a game problem but now im starting to think it actually is the mouse.

@mel0nFPS 4 ай бұрын

Potentially, that issues sounds more like a bad switch but it could possibly be caused by an uneven dampening pad. Hard to say without looking at the unit itself.

@PSFinally got this done, I had to pick up a spudger to get the shell open, squeezed the sides till I could fit the spudger in and went round the shell flicking it in and up towards the top. It's also worth noting, on the mini at least, the two screws for the main clicks are tiny, I had to buy a precision screwdriver set to get them out. After that it worked perfectly though. I opted for only taking out the little foam pads, not the rubber as I was only getting the crunch issue not the sticking. Interestingly, one of the foam pads had broken apart, with some of it stuck to the post on the main click. Used this as an excuse to pick up a set of superglides too, so win-win in the end. Thanks for the video! ps. the X2H mini, at least mine, is internally identical to the X2H medium in the video, including the rubber pad design.

I removed the rubber pads and reassembled the mouse, now the clicks are extremely light to the point that the click actuates with a tiny amount of force (like slam clicking) and with close to no rebound. Has anyone had the same problem after this fix?

What mouse and size do you have. Could be the click anchors are slightly too loose or installed incorrectly.

@@mel0nFPS X2H size 2 in white, I disassembled it earlier to readjust the clicks. But I have the feeling that it was the removal of the white rubber pads on the top of the shell that caused this. I've managed to make it function OK, but it's still very, very light to actuate.
