Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Wireless Gaming Mouse Review

What the Superlight 2 actually is

This is the mouse you see on the desks of actual tournament players, not just sponsored thumbnails. The G Pro X Superlight 2 is Logitech's flagship lightweight wireless gaming mouse, tipping the scale around 60 grams with no holes drilled in the shell. It runs on Lightspeed wireless, which is genuinely lag-free in a way most people can't tell apart from a wired cable.

The headline upgrade over the original is the Hero 2 sensor, good for up to 44,000 DPI and a 32,000 max you'll realistically never touch. More useful is the optional 4,000Hz polling rate and the new hybrid optical-mechanical switches rated for high click counts. Pricing sits in the $140 to $160 range on Amazon, which is a lot for a mouse and exactly what this category costs at the top.

How it performs day to day

The shape is the same safe, ambidextrous-ish egg as before, and that's the point. It fits palm and claw grips well, fingertip less so for big hands. Tracking is flawless across cloth and hard pads. Owners consistently report it just disappears in the hand, which is the highest compliment a competitive mouse gets.

Battery is a quiet strength. Logitech quotes roughly 95 hours, and real-world reports land close enough that you'll charge it maybe once a week. The included grippy tape and the swappable PTFE feet are small touches that matter over months. One mild gripe: the charging port is still micro-USB-adjacent in feel rather than premium, and there's no onboard RGB if that's something you care about. Most serious players don't.

The honest cons

It's expensive, and the jump from the original Superlight is incremental unless you specifically want 4,000Hz polling and the newer sensor. If you already own version one and play casually, the upgrade is hard to justify.

There are also no extra side buttons beyond the standard two, and the scroll wheel is functional rather than fancy. This is a focused FPS tool, not a do-everything productivity mouse. People who want a thumb full of macros for MMOs or work should look at a Razer Basilisk or Logitech's own MX Master line instead.

Who should buy it, who should skip it

Buy it if you play shooters seriously and want the lightest, most reliable wireless mouse with a shape that's proven on the biggest stages. Valorant, CS2, Apex, and Overwatch players are the core audience, and they're well served. It's also a solid pick if you just hate cable drag and want something that lasts.

Skip it if you're on a budget, since the Razer Viper V3 Pro and cheaper Pulsar or Lamzu options trade blows for less money. Skip it too if you need lots of buttons or mainly do office work. And if you own the first Superlight and aren't chasing high polling rates, keep your money.

The verdict

The G Pro X Superlight 2 is still the default recommendation at the high end of wireless gaming mice, and that reputation is earned rather than hyped. It's light, it's accurate, the battery outlasts your patience, and the shape works for most hands.

It won't wow you with features because it isn't trying to. For competitive FPS players who want the safe, no-excuses choice, this is it. Everyone else can save a chunk of cash and lose very little.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Superlight 2 worth it over the original G Pro X Superlight?

Only if you want the Hero 2 sensor, 4,000Hz polling, and the newer hybrid switches. The shape and weight are nearly identical, so casual players on version one won't notice a meaningful difference in normal gameplay.

Does the Superlight 2 work for claw and palm grip?

Yes. The medium, low-profile egg shape suits palm and claw grips well, especially medium to large hands. Fingertip grip and very small hands are the weaker fit.

How long does the battery last?

Logitech rates it around 95 hours, and real-world use lands close to that. Most players charge it about once a week with regular gaming.
