This review is written by a gamer who has dropped their Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 mouse more times than they would want to admit. It focuses on the mouse’s subtle upgrades while maintaining its legendary feel.
I’ll admit it up front: I tend to stick to routines. I was a kind of a mascot for my massive, RGB-lit brick of a mouse when the original Logitech G Pro X Superlight came out in late 2020. “Who wants a mouse that sounds like it could fly away?” Scowled it out. Next, I gave one a go. I’m now typing on the Superlight 2, a mouse that’s so identical to its forerunner that not even my cat can tell them apart, three years later. However, innovation isn’t always the goal of evolution. It’s all about becoming better. The inclusion of USB-C is a plus, however.
Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 : The “If It Ain’t Broke” Perspective
The Superlight 2 appears identical to the original, which is a major point to be addressed. Just like a gym bro’s tank top, it has the same sleek silhouette, understated design, and “SUPERLIGHT” branding. My first reaction upon opening the review unit’s pink box was, “Did they send me the wrong model?” (indeed, pink—a hue that shouts “serious gamer” as much as a unicorn sticker on a racing car). No way. In this case, Logitech’s slogan is explicit: *Remain. Hands. Off. The.* Recipient.
To be completely honest? Understand it. For both claw-grippers and fingertip assassins, the original Superlight was the perfect gaming mouse—not too huge, not too heavy. This DNA is preserved millimeter-by-millimeter by the Superlight 2. But let’s take a closer look at the changes that are behind that familiar surface.
Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Features: Feather-Thin, Skinnier Than Your Ex’s New Fiancé
The new Superlight 2 is 3 grams lighter than its predecessor, weighing in at 59.5 grams. Three paperclips’ worth of weight is around 3 grams, to give you an idea. On the other hand, “It’s like removing the emotional baggage from your mouse,” I informed my skepticy buddy Dave. Even while those three grams don’t seem like much, they add up in the cutthroat world of esports, where professionals would sacrifice mouse skates for a half-gram edge.

The ambidextrous form is a model of practicality, and the matte surface is still more resistant to fingerprints than my self-control is to late-night munchies. First concerns about the Superlight 2’s size sprang from my experience as a palm-gripper with medium-sized hands. It didn’t click (pun intended) until after a week of spreadsheet marathons and frenzied Valorant sessions. The little ridges on the sides gave it the perfect amount of grip, although I’ll confess that I had to wash it off after a particularly sweaty battle. Thankfully, there was grip tape supplied, which I used while repeating, “This will stop the betrayal.”
What We Learned About USB-C
The demise of Micro-USB is finally here, and we should all take a moment to rejoice. The Micro-USB connector on the first Superlight was like discovering a flip phone in the year 2023. Anyone who has ever rage-searched for a cable at 2 a.m. will understand the significance of the Superlight 2’s USB-C port; it’s more than just a convenience. Although the included charging cord is adequate, I opted for a braided one only because I am that kind of person.
Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 :Performance: The Impact of Every Millisecond
So here is where the Superlight 2 really shines. With 32,000 DPI and 500 IPS, the new Hero 2 sensor is a real powerhouse. For the average person? It’s as if Wes Bolt were given a jetpack. During testing, I moved swiftly and precisely through CS:GO, as if surgeons were shouting “CLUTCH OR KICK!” at their screens. With a polling rate of 2,000 Hz, which is twice the original’s, you can expect lightning-fast responses. Can you see it? Just barely. But in esports, the margins determine the champions.

The Tale of the Switch
Somewhat intriguing are the newly released Lightforce hybrid switches. Logitech asserts that their products combine mechanical sensitivity with optical quickness. Their precise, methodical, and pleasant snap reminds me of a mechanical keyboard switch that has been working out. But wow, those things are loud. While I was in the next room, my coworker texted: “Are you furiously stapling papers in there?” I would continue to use my Razer Viper for quiet late-night gaming.
Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 :The Marathon Runner: Battery Life
Logitech guarantees a battery life of 95 hours. In reality? With the polling rate set at 1,000 Hz and RGB disabled (sorry, rainbow light), I managed to get around 88 hours. Still, it’s more than enough to last over a three-day Diablo IV marathon. There is a 51-hour decrease in battery life at 2,000 Hz. No need to worry about the leaderboards if you keep the power-saving mode on, as a pro tip.
Programming: G Hub—A Necessary Evil
Aah, the Logitech G Hub. Something like a toddler-drawn IKEA instructions, except for software. Nobody has the patience for button remapping, and why there isn’t a tactile DPI button is puzzling. I spent twenty minutes fiddling with profiles until I remapped a thumb button to toggle DPI—but then I pressed that button in the middle of a game, sending my crosshair hurtling into space. Then the fury-quit kicked in.
The Superlight 2 works without a hitch when it is configured. I made advantage of the five profiles stored in the onboard memory for:
- Apex Legends (sniping with low DPI)
- Multi-player online mode (where I act as if I’m going to play World of Warcraft again)3. Productivity (extreme spreadsheet hell at high DPI)4. I refuse to erase the error that read “Oops, All DPI.”
Who Is This Mouse Intended For? This is your savior, esports junkies, if all you want is milliseconds and glory on Twitch.
Raw performance only.* Minimalists: Forget about RGB and all the extras.
Ancient Mice’s Improvements: A 2010 Brick owner will compare this to getting into a Tesla.
Who Should Not Use It? – People Who Collect Buttons: Do you need more than five buttons? Observe the Razer Naga.
- Youth on a Budget: A luxury item, costing $160. For 90% of the price, you can get the original Superlight.
“RGB Addicts” There is only a little LED battery indicator that illuminates this mouse. Be sad for the rave.

The Decision: Progress Over Upheaval
Instead of being a revolutionary sequel, Superlight 2 is an ode to the original’s legion of admirers. Just like when your favorite band releases a “deluxe edition” album—a few more songs, same fantastic rhythm—this gaming mouse is like that.
The real problem, however, is that I now use it even when I’m not playing video games. Forget about heftier mouse; this one has spoiled them for me with its lightness, simplicity, and ability to vanish in my palm. The car I used to drive every day is now useless.
As a last point: Invest in it if you’re flush with cash and want for elite performance. Then what? When it’s on sale, get the original. In any case, your wrist will be grateful.
I actually came to like the color pink, as a bonus anecdote. Because he thought it was a futuristic chew toy, my cat Mr. Whiskers attempted to knock it off my desk. We have achieved an awkward ceasefire after a nervous standoff (and some scratches on the grip tape). This is the reality of living with a “superlight” friend.
