Compare Hator Pulsar EVO and Pulsar
Mice Hator Pulsar EVO and Hator Pulsar have similar characteristics, but there are several key differences. Both devices use the optical sensor PixArt 3389 with a maximum resolution of 16000 DPI and a polling rate of 1000 Hz. However, the Pulsar EVO has a minimum resolution of 500 DPI, while the Pulsar has 50 DPI. The Pulsar uses Omron switches, whereas the EVO features Kailh. Both devices have RGB lighting and similar size and weight (69 g), making them comfortable for prolonged use. Users note that both mice have good build quality and are convenient to use, but the Pulsar EVO receives slightly more positive reviews for its lightweight design and sensor.

Glossary
Sensor resolution
Resolution of the sensor responsible for tracking mouse movements on the work surface. Specified in DPI — dots per inch.
The physical meaning of DPI as a whole is as follows. The sensor of a modern mouse works on the same principle as the camera matrix, and consists of pixels. And DPI is the number of pixels that fall on 1 inch of the underlying surface (length or width), "visible" by the sensor.
It is believed that more DPI means a more advanced sensor and mouse in general; nowadays, models for 3500 – 5000 DPI, 12000 DPI, 16000 DPI even more are not uncommon. In a way, it is — high resolution contributes to accuracy. However, the only thing that is directly determined by this indicator is the speed at which the cursor moves across the screen: the higher the resolution of the sensor, the greater the number of pixels that the cursor will move when the mouse itself moves a certain distance. At the same time, it is worth recalling that too high a speed is even more undesirable than too low. So the real need for high DPI ( 1000 and above) arises mainly when working on large screens (4K resolution and more); for more modest displays (HD and Full HD), smaller values are often enough.

Max. speed
The ips (inches per second) parameter is the linear speed of mouse movement, expressed in inches per second, at which the manipulator's sensor is able to read the surface. In top models, the maximum mouse movement speed often reaches 400-600 ips, but devices with ips in the region of 200 are more common.
Switches
The switches in a mouse indicate which specific switches are installed under the main buttons, such as Omron, Huano, Kailh, TTC, or proprietary solutions from the manufacturer. These determine the click characteristics, actuation force, click volume, lifespan, and the likelihood of double-clicking over time.
Unlike the general switch type, which refers to the working principle—mechanical or optical—the brand and model provide a more precise understanding of the performance level. For example, two mice with mechanical switches might feel different when clicked: some may be softer and quieter, while others could be stiffer, louder, and feel more "gaming-like."

Programmable buttons
The presence of programmable buttons in the design of the mouse. In this case, the buttons mean not only the keys, but also the scroll wheels, which are usually able to work on pressure.
Almost all models with this feature are gaming (see "By Direction"). Usually, programming is carried out using special proprietary software, while the functionality of such a setting may be different. For example, in some models, only one action can be tied to one button, in others — a whole series of actions (such as a combination of attacks in an RPG). Often, it is possible to configure one button for different actions in different games.
However, this feature provides an additional convenience: the mouse keys are right at hand, and it is usually easier (and faster) to use them than to reach for the button (s) on the keyboard.

Built-in memory
The presence in the mouse of its own built-in memory.
The main and, in fact, the only way to use such memory is to store various advanced settings (for example, the functions of programmable keys, or even entire user profiles for various games or other tasks). This feature is relevant mainly for gamers, so almost all models with this feature are gaming.

Feet material
- Teflon (PTFE). Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) glides - also known as Teflon - are characterized by an extremely low coefficient of friction. As a result, mice with Teflon feet boast excellent glide and high cursor speed on any type of surface. The minimum level of friction allows you to easily control the movements of the mouse. Manipulators with Teflon gliders perform well in dynamic games and reduce wrist strain during prolonged work at the computer.
— Metal. When properly sanded, the metal feet provide excellent glide for the mouse, and they also have a long service life before abrasion. Note that manipulators with metal gliders are best used on plastic or other hard-wearing playing surfaces. Using a mouse without a mouse pad runs the risk of scratching the surface.
