Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Guide: The Endgame Mouse in Our Budget → Premium Loadout

If the G203 Lightsync is where this loadout starts, the G Pro X Superlight 2 is where it ends. It's the mouse upgrade guides keep pointing to when the question is what's actually worth upgrading to — not because it's flashy, but because almost nothing about it needs excusing.
The Superlight 2 is Logitech's second-generation ultra-light wireless flagship, built for players who've outgrown budget gear and want a mouse a competitive reviewer wouldn't have to caveat. It keeps the same footprint as its predecessor but reworks nearly everything under the shell.
Specs
- Sensor: HERO 2, rated up to 44,000 CPI with a maximum tracking speed around 888 IPS (22.6 m/s)
- Max DPI (as marketed): 32,000, up from 25,600 on the original Superlight
- Polling rate: Up to 2,000 Hz wireless (double the original's 1,000 Hz); later Logitech firmware updates raised the wireless maximum (recent reviews report up to 8,000 Hz; check Logitech G HUB for your receiver). Wired stays at 1,000 Hz
- Weight: Roughly 60g on the scale, a few grams lighter than the original Superlight
- Dimensions: 4.92 x 2.5 x 1.57 in (125 x 63.5 x 40mm), identical to the original Superlight's shape
- Charging: USB-C, a first for the Superlight line, with Logitech advertising up to 100 hours of battery life
Why it's the pick
Three review outlets converge on the same verdict: this mouse doesn't reinvent anything, it just removes the last excuses. PCWorld found the responsiveness jump from doubled polling rate noticeable in actual play, not just on a spec sheet. Tom's Hardware's take was blunter: the original was already excellent, and this version changes little except the parts that needed changing.
The adoption numbers back that up outside the review circuit too — pro-scene tracking site ProSettings notes the Superlight line's dominance runs deep enough that Logitech had every incentive to leave the winning formula alone.
Where it falls short
It's not a mouse without trade-offs. TechRadar's review flagged the stock feet as underwhelming on certain mousepad surfaces, and noted the Powercore wireless-charging module — standard with some competitors — isn't included in the box. It's also not the lightest option on the market if weight is your only priority; at about 60g (Logitech's spec) it's a few grams heavier than rivals like the Viper V2 Pro (58g, Razer's spec).
Who it's for
This is the "done buying mice" purchase — aimed at players moving up from something like the G203 Lightsync who want a single upgrade that closes the gap with the rest of their setup rather than opening a new one. If you're building the Competitive Gaming loadout instead, see how it stacks up against the Razer Viper V3 Pro, which trades a touch of polish for an even lighter sub-55g build.
