Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 Review: Light, Fast, Basic

This Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 review looks at a wireless gaming mouse built for one job: getting out of the way during competitive play. It weighs 60 g, uses a symmetrical right-handed shape and skips the extras many gaming mice lean on, such as extra buttons. It is aimed at competitive FPS players who want an ultralight, reliable wireless mouse and are happy to pay mid-range money for it.

This review is based on Logitech's published specs and on what independent expert reviewers report. It is not based on hands-on testing.

What the expert reviews say overall

Across five expert reviews, the Superlight 2 averages 9/10. PCWorld, ProSettings.net, Tom's Guide and TechRadar each give it 4.5/5, and PC Gamer scores it 88/100. It is also recommended in an independent expert buying guide. The praise is consistent: reviewers like the weight, the sensor, the wireless reliability, the switches and the battery life. The criticism is also consistent: it is a pricey, basic mouse, and it is only a small step up from the original Superlight.

Design and build

A 60 g shell with no holes

The headline number is the weight: 60 g. Many ultralight mice reach a low weight by drilling honeycomb holes in the shell. Logitech uses a solid shell instead. Reviewers say this feels sturdy and cuts fatigue without honeycomb holes. A solid shell also avoids open holes in the body.

The mouse measures 125 × 63.5 × 40 mm. Logitech describes the shape as right-handed symmetrical, and reviewers say it suits palm, claw and fingertip grips. The shape is right-handed symmetrical. If you want a sculpted, ergonomic shape or a thumb rest, this is not that kind of mouse. If you want something neutral that works with different grip styles, it makes sense.

Glide

The feet are zero-additive PTFE, which Logitech pairs with a smooth glide. On a mouse this light, the feet matter, because there is little mass to smooth out friction. The spec sheet gives no more detail than that, so treat it as a design intention rather than a measured result.

Buttons

There are five programmable buttons. Reviewers criticise the mouse as expensive for such a basic design with only five buttons, as covered below. For FPS players who bind little beyond the main buttons and a couple of side buttons, five is enough. For anyone who uses extra mouse buttons for macros, MMO skills or productivity shortcuts, it is a limit.

Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 review: what the specs mean day to day

LIGHTFORCE switches

The main buttons use LIGHTFORCE hybrid optical-mechanical switches, rated for 70 million clicks. The hybrid design is meant to combine the tactile feel of a mechanical switch with the speed of an optical one. Reviewers praise the result as crisp and tactile. The flip side, noted in the verdict, is that people who dislike loud clicks may not enjoy it.

The 70 million click rating is a manufacturer figure about durability. It is a reassuring number for a mouse you intend to use daily.

HERO 2 sensor

The sensor is the HERO 2 optical, with tracking over 888 IPS and up to 44,000 DPI. For most players those numbers are far beyond what is needed. Competitive players commonly use modest DPI settings, so the useful point is that the sensor has plenty of headroom and, according to reviewers, is fast and accurate.

Through G HUB, Logitech's software, you can calibrate the sensor with separate X/Y axis adjustment and adjustable lift-off tolerance. Players who care about tracking behaviour when lifting and repositioning the mouse will find these options useful.

LIGHTSPEED wireless and 8 kHz polling

The mouse connects over LIGHTSPEED 2.4 GHz wireless, with polling rates up to 8 kHz. Reviewers describe the wireless connection as reliable and low-latency. A higher polling rate means the mouse reports its position to the computer more often. That can make cursor movement look smoother, especially on high-refresh-rate monitors, though the benefit varies by game and setup.

One limitation to know about: there is no Bluetooth. The mouse works over the 2.4 GHz wireless connection or by cable, so it is not a great fit if you want to pair it with a tablet or laptop that has no spare USB port.

Battery and charging

Battery life is up to 95 hr, with USB-C charging. The mouse also works with Logitech's POWERPLAY wireless charging system, for players who already use or want to buy that setup. The cable is 1.9 m, USB-C to USB-A. "Up to" is the key phrase: real battery life depends on how you use the mouse, including polling rate and other settings, and the facts here do not give a figure for each configuration.

What experts like and what they criticise

The praise

Reviewers' praise falls into five areas:

• The solid 60 g shell feels sturdy and cuts fatigue without honeycomb holes.
• The HERO 2 sensor is fast and accurate, and the LIGHTSPEED wireless is reliable with low latency.
• The hybrid optical-mechanical switches are crisp and tactile.
• Battery life of up to 95 hr with USB-C charging is a strong point.
• The symmetrical shape works for palm, claw and fingertip grips.

The picture is of a mouse that does the fundamentals very well. That is why it scores so consistently across publications.

The criticism

The complaints are just as consistent, and for some buyers they will matter:

• It is expensive for a basic mouse. With only five buttons, a common criticism is that you pay mid-range money for a stripped-back design.
• There is no dedicated DPI button. Changing DPI requires G HUB.
• G HUB is clunky. Reviewers describe the software as a weak point, which matters more because you need it for DPI changes.
• It is only a small step up from the original Superlight. Reviewers say that if you already own that mouse, this one is an incremental change.

None of these affects the core hardware, but the DPI button and software issues are real daily annoyances for anyone who switches DPI between games or tasks.

Who should buy it, and who should skip it

Buy it if

• You play competitive FPS games and want an ultralight, reliable wireless mouse.
• You prefer a safe, symmetrical shape that works with several grip styles.
• You want long battery life, with the option of POWERPLAY wireless charging.
• You like a crisp, tactile click and do not mind that it can be loud.
• You would use G HUB's sensor calibration options, such as separate X/Y axis adjustment and lift-off tolerance.

Skip it if

• You already own the original Superlight, since reviewers describe this model as a small step up.
• You want extra buttons or RGB lighting.
• You dislike loud clicks.
• You want to change DPI on the fly with a dedicated button.
• You need Bluetooth.
• You are left-handed. The shape is symmetrical but described as right-handed.

How it fits in the wider category

The Superlight 2 uses a solid shell, a symmetrical shape and five programmable buttons. It sits in the mid-range part of the market, so you are paying for refinement and reliability rather than a long feature list. If that is what you want, it is a strong pick. If you want a feature-rich mouse at the same level, you will probably be happier looking elsewhere.

The warranty is a 2-year limited one.

Verdict

The Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 is a very light, fast and reliable wireless mouse for competitive gamers who want a safe shape and long battery life. A 9/10 average across five expert reviews shows how consistently reviewers rate it. The things it lacks are clear: extra buttons, a dedicated DPI button, nicer software and a big leap over the original. If those omissions do not bother you and you value weight, wireless reliability and battery life, it is an easy mouse to recommend. If you want a full-featured mouse, or you already own the original, it is easier to skip.
