Between the Thorn and X2V3, the Thorn comes out ahead in weight, while the X2V3 wins on polling rate and battery. Overall, the Thorn scores 79.9 and the X2V3 scores 87.8 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The X2V3 edges ahead on the Mars Score (79.9 vs 87.8), but the 7.9-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Thorn if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. The biggest gaps in its favor are weight.
Pick the X2V3 if you care most about polling rate and battery. Its strongest claims are polling rate, battery, max dpi.
Both ship with comparable wireless, buttons, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the X2V3 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
