Pulsar SuperHeavy: The 500-Gram April Fools' Mouse That Surprisingly Worked

In an industry obsessed with ultralight peripherals, Pulsar did the unthinkable by releasing a gaming mouse weighing in at a staggering 500 grams. Dubbed the SuperHeavy (or CrazyHeavy), this device was originally marketed as an April Fools' Day joke, yet the company actually shipped 20 units to the public. While the concept seems absurd, YouTuber Boardzy managed to get their hands on one and discovered that despite looking "extremely sluggish", it is "really not that bad" for a novelty item.

The SuperHeavy serves as a heavy-duty twist on the popular Pulsar Susanto-X, a collaboration with pro players Keven "Xccurate" Susanto and Jason "fOrsaken" Susanto. Boardzy noted immediately upon seeing the mouse that it appeared obviously sluggish, yet they confirmed that it is indeed capable of being used for gaming. Their specific unit weighed in at 485 grams—a slight variance from the promised 500 g, though Boardzy suspects their scale might be the culprit rather than a manufacturing error.

The Science Behind the Weight and The Physical Toll

The engineering logic behind this massive peripheral is delightfully simple: Pulsar simply inserted a large brass weight inside the shell before shipping it out. This dense core makes the mouse incredibly heavy, leading Boardzy to remark on its density and potential as a "brute force training method." They suggested that switching from a standard 30 g gaming mouse to this 500 g beast for a day or two would make anything in the 60–70 g range feel "light as air" by comparison.

However, the physical cost of using such an extreme peripheral is significant. Boardzy admitted that after testing, their wrist would crack when they removed it from the mouse, and they felt intense strain in the meat of their thumb. They warned that playing games requiring constant movement with this device could seriously wind up hurting your wrist over time. Interestingly, the weight disparity was so profound that returning to a standard Razer Viper V4 Pro made them feel like holding something "hollow."

Technical Specifications and Final Verdict

Despite its comedic intent, the SuperHeavy boasts impressive technical specifications on paper that rival modern high-end mice:

  • Sensor: XS01 optical sensor with up to 32,000 DPI.
  • Tracking Speed: Capable of reaching 750 IPS (inches per second).
  • Polling Rate: Supports an 8,000 Hz polling rate for ultra-low latency.

Technically, a user strong enough could play competitive games with the CrazyHeavy, though Boardzy noted their specific unit did not have working wireless capabilities during testing. They also received the standard Susanto-X mouse alongside it as part of the package. Ultimately, while Boardzy stated they are "likely never going to use this again," preferring it as a functional paperweight, they concluded that it is "just like not a good mouse, but it is crazy." Given its unique ability to turn gaming into a workout while maintaining high sensor performance, the name fits perfectly.
