Overview
The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 is the successor to the industry-defining original Superlight, maintaining the same iconic ambidextrous shape while upgrading internal components. It features the HERO 2 sensor, which supports up to 32,000 DPI and a maximum polling rate of 4,000Hz (upgradable to 8,000Hz via firmware updates). This iteration also introduces LIGHTFORCE hybrid optical-mechanical switches, designed to provide the tactile feel of mechanical clicks with the speed and reliability of optical actuation.
Physically, the mouse remains remarkably light at approximately 60 grams and retains the high-quality PTFE feet for a smooth glide. The most notable physical change is the transition from Micro-USB to USB-C charging, bringing it in line with modern connectivity standards while maintaining compatibility with the POWERPLAY wireless charging system.
Who it's for
This mouse is primarily designed for competitive esports athletes and enthusiasts who prioritize low weight and consistent sensor performance. Because of its safety-first egg-shaped design, it is a versatile choice for various grip styles, including palm, claw, and fingertip. It is ideal for players who want a reliable, high-performance peripheral that does not feature extraneous buttons or distracting RGB lighting.
Things to know before buying
- The 4,000Hz and 8,000Hz polling rates are only available in wireless mode and will significantly impact battery life compared to the standard 1,000Hz setting.
- The new LIGHTFORCE switches have a distinct, louder click sound compared to the original Superlight, which some users find slightly stiff during the initial break-in period.
- While the shape is theoretically ambidextrous, the side buttons are fixed on the left side, making it most ergonomic for right-handed users.
- It uses the G HUB software for customization; ensure your OS version is compatible to access the full range of HERO 2 sensor settings.
