Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2
The Logitech G Pro X Superlight was already a benchmark for lightweight, high-precision FPS mice. Now, Logitech G has raised the bar even further with the Superlight 2, offering a refined weapon of choice for competitive gamers. This enhanced iteration retains the familiar form factor of its predecessor while introducing crucial upgrades, including a faster, more accurate sensor, and an even lighter design.
While the Superlight 2 commands a premium price of $159, its performance justifies the investment for serious gamers seeking a competitive edge.
Design and Build: A Featherweight Champion
Maintaining the dimensions of its predecessor at 4.92 x 2.5 x 1.57 inches, the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 distinguishes itself with its remarkably low weight. At a mere 60 grams (just over 2 ounces), it’s 3 grams lighter than the original Superlight, a difference that translates to noticeably improved agility in-game.
The symmetrical five-button design, with a comfortable curve catering to palm grip users, returns. The primary clicks are integrated seamlessly into the sleek body, while the strategically placed side buttons minimize accidental presses. Logitech’s Lightforce Hybrid switches combine optical and mechanical elements for lightning-fast clicks and extended battery life.
The scroll wheel, while functional, feels somewhat flimsy due to its lightweight construction. Although understandable given the focus on minimizing overall weight, a more robust wheel, similar to that of the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro, would be a welcome improvement.
Connectivity is provided via a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection using the included USB-A receiver (with a USB-A to USB-C adapter). Battery life is impressive, offering up to 95 hours of continuous gameplay, surpassing the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro by five hours. The Superlight 2 is compatible with Windows 10 and 11.
Gaming Performance: Speed and Precision Redefined
The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2’s standout feature is its upgraded Hero 2 sensor. Boasting sub-micron precision, this sensor elevates performance with a maximum DPI of 32,000 (up from 25,600), a maximum speed of 500 inches per second (up from 400), and a maximum acceleration of 40G.
The increased 2,000Hz polling rate (double that of the original Superlight) contributes significantly to the mouse’s responsiveness. Combined with the lighter weight and generous PTFE feet, the Superlight 2 provides unparalleled glide and control. This translates to faster reactions, more precise aiming, and reduced hand fatigue during extended gaming sessions.
In games like Counter-Strike 2, the Superlight 2’s symmetrical design and exceptional accuracy shine. The effortless movement and precise tracking make landing shots significantly easier, offering a tangible competitive advantage.
Software: Logitech G Hub Enhances Customization
The Logitech G Hub software unlocks the Superlight 2’s full potential, allowing users to customize DPI settings, button assignments, and onboard memory profiles. Features like Hero Sensor Calibration enable easy transfer of DPI settings from other mice, while advanced options allow for fine-tuning of lift-off distance and individual X/Y axis DPI values.
Conclusion: The Ultimate FPS Mouse?
The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 represents a significant advancement in competitive gaming mice. Its combination of a cutting-edge sensor, ultra-lightweight design, and extensive customization options makes it a top contender for any serious FPS player. While the price tag is high, the performance delivered justifies the investment for those seeking the ultimate edge in competitive gaming.
