Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 Review
Research-based review. Pickora separates manufacturer specifications and third-party evidence from our editorial buying judgment. We do not present unperformed hands-on testing as our own.
The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 is a 60 g wireless mouse built for competitive FPS games. Logitech lists the HERO 2 sensor, up to 44,000 DPI, LIGHTFORCE hybrid switches and up to 8 kHz polling over its LIGHTSPEED receiver. This review covers the Black version, not the differently shaped SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX.
Its appeal is low weight and a simple five-button layout. Shape and grip fit matter more than the maximum DPI or polling figures, so compare its dimensions with a mouse you already know.
Best For
- FPS players who prioritize low mouse mass over extra controls
- A gaming setup using the dedicated LIGHTSPEED receiver
- Buyers prepared to choose shape and grip fit before maximum DPI
Who Should Skip It
- You need many application or MMO shortcuts
- You want a general-purpose travel mouse with Bluetooth
- You expect 8 kHz to guarantee a competitive improvement

- High polling rates add system load and battery drain
Shape is the decision a specification cannot make
A symmetrical outline does not guarantee comfort for every grip or hand size. Compare the dimensions and button placement with a mouse you already know, and keep the return window in mind, because comfort is the one thing a specification sheet cannot tell you.
Polling rate is an option, not a result
The current manufacturer page advertises up to 8 kHz. High-rate reporting can place additional demands on a system and can change battery use. Start with stable settings and assess the games you actually play; a large number on the box does not demonstrate lower end-to-end latency in your setup or better competitive results.
DPI should fit your sensitivity settings
The maximum sensor resolution is not a recommendation to play at that setting. Consistent in-game sensitivity and a suitable mouse surface are more practical starting points. Logitech’s G HUB calibration controls provide configuration options; we do not report a measured tracking-error or click-latency result.
From the original SUPERLIGHT or an office mouse
USB-C and the newer sensor/switch platform can be meaningful conveniences, but an existing gaming mouse that fits well may not need replacing. Moving from an office-oriented mouse changes the balance more substantially: fewer controls and low mass favor a different task. The MX Master comparison is about those priorities, not a declaration that one mouse is better at everything.
Buying Decision
Choose the SUPERLIGHT 2 if low weight, the receiver-based gaming connection and its shape match your FPS setup. Keep a comfortable mouse you already own unless it has a specific limitation, and choose an office or MMO design if controls matter more than weight.
Value and Trade-offs
Compare the delivered price with other mice that fit your hand, including any optional charging mat. POWERPLAY is optional, not a prerequisite for USB-C charging. A professional gaming association does not establish that the mouse is good value for your game, grip or budget.
Final Verdict
The SUPERLIGHT 2 is an excellent fit for FPS players whose grip suits its shape. It is a focused gaming tool, so office users and MMO players will get more from a mouse with extra buttons and Bluetooth.
How Pickora Scored It
- FPS-oriented feature fit — 4.5/5 (35%)
Low specified mass and focused controls serve a clear gaming use case.
- Configuration options — 4.3/5 (25%)
Current sensor and polling settings offer flexibility without guaranteeing better aim.
- Everyday versatility — 3/5 (20%)
Limited controls and gaming-focused connection choices trade away office convenience.
- Value — 3.6/5 (20%)
The premium depends on grip fit and a real need to replace existing hardware.
Final Pickora Rating: 4.0/5.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum polling rate?
Logitech lists up to 8 kHz. Check firmware and G HUB settings for the supported configuration.
Should I use 44,000 DPI for better aim?
Not simply because it is available. Choose sensitivity for your game and preferred movement rather than the maximum number.
Is POWERPLAY required to recharge?
No. The mouse supports USB-C charging; POWERPLAY is an optional charging system.
Does a symmetrical shape suit everyone?
No. Hand size, grip style and button placement still matter, so compare its dimensions with a mouse you find comfortable.
