+# Pulsar X2A v3 / shared 8K receiver follow-up
+
+Ticket identity: VID `0x3710`, wired X2A v3 PID `0x3404`, shared 8K receiver
+PID `0x5403`, Windows 11. The wired ID and the `0xffff:0x01` control-interface
+restriction were already added in [PR #144](https://github.com/OpenMouse-Project/mouse-protocol/pull/144).
+
+This follow-up corrects the receiver's 8K capability list, gives the wired
+mouse its model name, and stops interpreting a failed/unrecognized polling
+reply as 1000 Hz. The read-only polling decoder is unchanged; its physical
+accuracy still needs a capture correlated with the vendor application's setting.
+No polling write is added. The existing wired/1K capability list is preserved.
+The generic receiver name does not identify the paired mouse.
+
+The reported 8K capability agrees with [Pulsar's X2A v3 product page](https://jp.pulsar.gg/products/x2a-v3-gaming-mouse),
+which requires the separately sold 8K dongle for 8K wireless operation. This
+does not establish the format of a polling-rate write or mark either path as
+hardware-verified by OpenMouse.
+
+## What the reporter should test
+
+1. In the current panel, connect over cable. Confirm X2A v3 and Wired. Change
+   DPI from 700 to 800 (or another supported value), apply, confirm the read-back
+   and observed mouse behavior, then restore the original setting.
+2. Connect through the 8K receiver. Confirm Wireless and a generic dongle name.
+   Repeat the DPI test; try debounce and Motion Sync separately and report
+   their before/after values and any error. These setters already exist.
+3. Set 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 Hz in Pulsar's application one at a time.
+   Close that application before refreshing OpenMouse. For each value, download
+   Diagnostics and record the UI readout. A missing/unknown reply should show a
+   dash, not claim 1000 Hz. The polling buttons remain read-only.
+4. Include the feature-report packets for the polling query
+   (`08 85 03`, 64-byte report 0) at each vendor setting, so the existing
+   decoding table can be checked against real hardware.
+
+After granting the receiver in the browser picker, this prints only the Pulsar
+device names and report descriptors; it does not rely on Chrome's `copy()` helper:
+
+```js
+console.log(JSON.stringify((await navigator.hid.getDevices())
+  .filter(device => device.vendorId === 0x3710)
+  .map(device => ({
+    name: device.productName,
+    pid: `0x${device.productId.toString(16)}`,
+    collections: device.collections.map(collection => ({
+      usagePage: `0x${collection.usagePage.toString(16)}`,
+      usage: `0x${collection.usage.toString(16)}`,
+      featureReports: collection.featureReports.map(report => ({
+        id: report.reportId,
+        bytes: report.items.reduce((bits, item) => bits + item.reportSize * item.reportCount, 0) / 8,
+      })),
+    })),
+  })), null, 2));
+```
+
+An empty array means that browser has not retained a grant for a Pulsar device.
+The ticket's linked screenshots and diagnostic JSON were not available in the
+supplied transcript, so the unresolved hardware behavior cannot be inferred from
+those attachments. No Bridge changes are needed for this follow-up.
