GEARLogitech G Pro X Superlight 2 — sixty grams and nothing else to argue about
Sixty grams, a wireless link nobody has beaten on latency, and 8 kHz polling. This is the mouse the professional field converged on, and the reasons are boring in the best way.
- Weight
- 60 g
- Sensor
- HERO 2, 44 000 DPI
- Polling
- up to 8 kHz
Strengths
- Sixty grams with no honeycomb shell — the weight comes out of the internals, not out of holes you can feel
- LIGHTSPEED wireless measures faster end-to-end than most wired mice, which retires the cable argument entirely
- LIGHTFORCE hybrid switches keep an optical actuation without the mushy feel optical switches usually bring
Trade-offs
- No side buttons on the right flank, so left-handed players and anyone who binds four thumb keys is out
- The shell is smooth plastic with no grip texture — most owners end up buying tape as a separate purchase
- 8 kHz polling raises CPU interrupt load noticeably; on a mid-range machine you may end up back at 1 kHz
Why the professional field settled here
Pro peripheral lists converge on very few mice, and the Superlight line takes the largest share of them. That is not sponsorship — most of those players are free to use anything. It is that the shape is neutral enough to suit claw and palm alike, and the weight is low enough that nobody is fighting the mouse on a wide flick.
Sixty grams without holes
The first generation of ultralight mice got there by cutting a honeycomb into the shell. It works, and it feels like it: flex under the palm, dust in the internals. The Superlight 2 reaches 60 g through the battery and the internal frame instead, so the shell stays solid.
What 8 kHz actually buys you
At 1 kHz the mouse reports its position once per millisecond. At 8 kHz that drops to one eighth of that. On a 360 Hz panel the frame time is 2.8 ms, so most of those extra reports land between frames.
The gain is real but small, and it is not free: 8 kHz raises interrupt load on the CPU. If your frame rate dips when you enable it, go back to 1 kHz — that is the correct trade, not a defeat.
The two things it leaves out
No right-side buttons, so this is a right-handed mouse in practice. And no grip texture at all, which for most people means grip tape on top of the purchase price.
Verdict
The reference. Buy it knowing you will probably add tape.
