Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Review

The original G Pro X Superlight became the default competitive mouse for a reason: it got out of the way. The Superlight 2 isn't a reinvention - it's a careful list of fixes to the few things people actually complained about. New sensor, new switches, and mercifully, USB-C. For most players chasing the top of the rankings, that's exactly the right kind of update.

What changed

The shape is untouched - the same ambidextrous, gently humped 125mm body that fits palm and claw grips alike - and it still tips the scales at roughly 60g. Inside, Logitech swapped in the new HERO 2 sensor (up to 44,000 DPI, 888 IPS, 88G acceleration), moved to LIGHTFORCE hybrid optical-mechanical switches on the main buttons, and finally replaced the aging micro-USB port with USB-C. Battery life is rated up to 95 hours, and higher polling rates (up to 4,000Hz with the compatible receiver) are supported. It launched around $159.

How we tested

We ran it as a daily driver for two weeks across aim trainers, competitive FPS (CS2, Valorant, Apex), and general desktop work, on a large cloth pad. We paid particular attention to the two things that matter most on a mouse like this: sensor consistency and click feel.

Performance: it disappears, in the good way

In use the Superlight 2 does what its predecessor did - it stops being something you notice. At 60g it's light without feeling hollow or creaky, and the HERO 2 sensor is flawless in practice: no spin-outs, no smoothing, no acceleration artifacts across the DPI range we'd realistically use. Whether that 44,000 DPI ceiling matters to you is another question (it doesn't, for basically anyone), but the tracking underneath it is impeccable.

The LIGHTFORCE switches are the real upgrade. Clicks are crisp and slightly firmer than the old mechanical switches, with less pre- and post-travel, and the hybrid design should sidestep the double-click failures that eventually plagued some first-gen units. LIGHTSPEED wireless remains rock-solid - genuinely indistinguishable from wired in blind testing.

Nothing here reinvents the mouse. Everything here fixes the things that stopped the original from being perfect.

Ergonomics and battery

The shape is a known quantity and a safe one - medium-sized, ambidextrous, comfortable for long sessions. The PTFE feet glide beautifully out of the box. Battery life comfortably cleared a week of heavy use between charges in our testing, and USB-C means you can top up with the same cable as everything else on your desk - a small thing that the micro-USB original made needlessly annoying.

The honest reservation

This is an expensive mouse, and the value math has shifted. At $159 the Superlight 2 now competes with a wave of excellent 50-something-gram wireless mice from the likes of Razer and Pulsar, several of them cheaper and some lighter. There's also no onboard weight tuning, no adjustable-height feet, and the shape - while safe - won't suit everyone. If you didn't get on with the original's contour, nothing here will change your mind. And existing Superlight owners without click issues have little reason to upgrade.

Verdict

The G Pro X Superlight 2 earns an 8.9 - our highest score in this batch. It is a near-faultless competitive mouse: perfect sensor, better switches, class-leading wireless, and at last a modern port. The score isn't a perfect 10 only because the price is steep against fierce new competition and the update is evolutionary. Buy it if you want a proven, no-drama esports mouse and the shape fits your hand. Look at the cheaper lightweight rivals if outright value or sub-55g weight is your priority.

• Pros: Flawless HERO 2 tracking, improved LIGHTFORCE switches, ~60g weight, USB-C at last, rock-solid LIGHTSPEED wireless, ~95h battery
• Cons: Pricey against newer rivals, no onboard weight tuning, one-size shape, minimal reason to upgrade from the original
