This G Pro X Superlight 2 review is for those who’ve heard of the favorite mouse of much of the esports pro scene and want to know whether it deserves the steep price. Logitech evolved the original Superlight with a faster sensor, hybrid switches, and a record polling rate for a wireless mouse.
It’s recommended for competitive players who prioritize low weight and instant response above any other feature, like RGB or extra buttons. The verdict, up front: the Superlight 2 delivers what it promises in pure performance, but the price in Brazil is only justified for those who will really feel the difference of every millisecond.

Design and Build
The G Pro X Superlight 2 keeps the symmetrical, discreet shape that was already a trademark of the previous model. There’s no RGB lighting or flashy finish: the total focus is on reducing weight and friction.
The mouse feet are made of pure PTFE, without additives, which ensures smooth gliding on any mousepad. The plastic shell was optimized to shave grams wherever possible, resulting in the final 60 g, even with an internal battery and wireless receiver.
It’s important to note that the design doesn’t include side buttons for left-handers, and the absence of RGB may bother those who like to visually customize their setup. The proposition here is clear: fewer elements, more lightness.
Performance: Are the HERO 2 Sensor and 8kHz Polling Worth It?
This is the high point of this wireless gaming mouse. The HERO 2 sensor tracks with precision up to 44,000 DPI and over 888 IPS, without smoothing, acceleration, or filtering, which ensures total fidelity between hand movement and the cursor on screen.
The 8,000 Hz polling rate reduces theoretical latency to 0.125 ms, almost six times faster than the 1,000 Hz standard used by most gaming mice. In practice, this difference is only perceptible to very high-level players in competitive titles like CS2 and Valorant, running on PCs with hardware capable of sustaining equally high frame rates.
The LIGHTFORCE hybrid switches combine the speed of optical response with the tactile feel of a traditional mechanical switch, and may require a short adaptation period for those coming from conventional mice. For casual use, the Superlight 2 also works well, but its advanced features are only fully utilized in competitive scenarios.
Software and Extra Features
Configuration goes through Logitech G HUB, which offers:
- Independent sensitivity adjustment for the X and Y axes
- Lift-off distance tolerance calibration according to the player’s grip
- Synchronization of DPI settings with other Logitech mice
- Internal memory to save profiles, keeping the settings even without the software installed
- Programming of the 5 available buttons
The absence of extra buttons somewhat limits macro options compared to more robust mice, but this is intentional: the Superlight 2 is designed to minimize distractions during competitive matches.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ultralight weight of 60 g
- Extremely precise HERO 2 sensor, without acceleration
- 8,000 Hz polling rate, the highest in the wireless category
- Long-lasting battery (up to 95 hours)
- Compatible with POWERPLAY wireless charging
Cons
- High price in the Brazilian market
- No RGB lighting
- Only 5 programmable buttons
- No option for side buttons for left-handers
Quick Comparison
Against the Logitech G Pro X Superlight (first generation), the Superlight 2 wins on polling rate and sensor, but costs more, and the difference is only felt by top-tier players. Compared to the Razer Viper V3 Pro, both compete directly on weight and polling rate, with the Superlight 2 having the edge in integration with the Logitech ecosystem, like POWERPLAY.
Who It’s Worth It For
The Superlight 2 is recommended for competitive players who already compete in tournaments or train seriously in FPS and MOBAs, and for those who have a PC capable of taking real advantage of the 8,000 Hz polling. For casual use or productivity, the investment isn’t justified: cheaper wired or wireless mice deliver a similar day-to-day experience.
Conclusion and Final Score
The G Pro X Superlight 2 review shows a gaming mouse that fulfills exactly the proposition of being the lightest and most responsive possible within Logitech’s professional line. The HERO 2 sensor and the 8kHz polling rate are real technical differentiators, but the high price limits the audience to those who truly compete at a high level.
Score: 9/10
