I was a little resistant to picking up the Pulsar X3 CrazyLight Mini because of the last part of its name: 'Mini.' My previous experience with a Mini mouse was with the X2H CrazyLight Mini, and that one did not gel well with my grip style at all. Although that was mostly because the 'H' designates a large rear-weighted hump, which is lacking in this X3. The X2H CrazyLight Mini is also a symmetrical, ambidextrous design, whereas this X3 is a right-handed ergonomic one—though note that there is a mirrored version, too, for all you lefties.
All of that is to say, the experience is very different this time around. In fact, I've been quite surprised to find that the X3 CrazyLight Mini's shape really suits my grip. It makes sense, I guess, as I've often described my grip as a kind of "hybrid palm-claw" or "relaxed claw" grip, and lo, what do I find on the front of the mouse packaging? "For palm and relaxed claw grip." Perfect.
