The Superlight 2 is the rare sequel that improves the best wireless gaming mouse without breaking it: the same 60 g symmetrical shape, a faster HERO2 sensor, USB-C charging, and sub-millisecond click latency confirmed by third-party measurements. The knocks are real but minor -- no on-mouse DPI button, a dull middle click, and a flagship price. Esports players should shortlist it; original Superlight owners can skip.
— THE VERDICT · JUDGEANY EDITORSWhat the Superlight 2 is
The G Pro X Superlight 2 is Logitech's 2023 follow-up to the original Superlight, the mouse that defined the lightweight esports category. It keeps the same symmetrical 60 g shape -- no honeycomb holes, no RGB -- and changes the internals: the HERO2 sensor, LIGHTFORCE hybrid switches, USB-C charging, and a 2,000 Hz LIGHTSPEED polling rate out of the box. This is the symmetrical model; the asymmetric Superlight 2 DEX arrived a year later as a different product with its own listing, so do not mix the two up.
What published tests measured
TechPowerUp put the sensor and the clicks on instruments. Click latency measured 0.54 ms wired, 1.4 ms wireless at 1,000 Hz, 0.96 ms at 2,000 Hz, and roughly 0.87 ms at 4,000 and 8,000 Hz once Logitech's firmware update unlocked the higher rates. All TechPowerUp testing was done on firmware 32.3.26/7.2.11. The sensor showed no smoothing across the CPI range, no CPI deviation at 400-3,200, and no motion-delay differential between wireless and wired. Lift-off distance on the Low and Medium settings stays under one DVD of height. We run no lab; these are TechPowerUp's measurements, not ours.
What reviewers agree on -- and where they knock it
Hands-on reviews converge on the same story. Tom's Hardware logged flawless tracking in CS:GO and Overwatch 2, called the upgrade skippable for original Superlight owners, and a great buy for newcomers. PC Gamer and GamesRadar both flag the heavier-feeling main clicks and the missing on-mouse DPI button; both also grumble that G Hub hides basic options in obscure menus. TechRadar's 90 and RTINGS' 91 -- the highest scores in TechSpot's review aggregate -- reflect how little is actually wrong with the hardware itself.
Battery life and charging
Battery life is a genuine strength. Logitech rates it at 95 hours of gaming at 1,000 Hz polling; Stuff's testing matched that figure, and Digital Trends reports going weeks between charges. One caveat, via GamesRadar: running the switches in optical-only mode instead of hybrid trims roughly six hours off the total. USB-C charging replaces the old micro-USB port, and the mouse still works with POWERPLAY wireless-charging mats.
Who should buy it
The pros have voted with their loadouts: CSDB's gear database calls it the single most popular mouse in professional CS2, with dozens of listed pros across the black, white, and magenta colorways. If you play competitive FPS and want the proven pick, this is the one -- check it live on Amazon. Casual players and original Superlight owners get less for the money: the same shape, the same weight, and a flagship price for a better sensor and USB-C.
