Pulsar XS-1 sensor and in-house firmware
Shared between all new mouse releases from Pulsar will be improvements to the sensor and firmware. Based on PixArt’s latest PAW3950 sensor, the custom XS-1 sensor will be capable of CPI adjustment in increments of 1, which otherwise is exclusive to the latest sensor generation found in the Razer Viper V3 Pro under the moniker of Focus Pro 35K Gen-2. After two years of development of time, Pulsar’s own in-house developed firmware is also nearing completion, and will feature multiple improvements over the third-party solution used previously. More specifically, refined double-click prevention will be included, slam-click prevention is implemented, and latency has been lowered further across the board. The firmware change will be accompanied by a new software as well, which will be exclusive to all newer models featuring the XS-1.
