The Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 is the wireless gaming mouse that became the go-to choice for esports professionals, with a weight under 60 grams and a precision sensor designed for the kind of fast, twitchy mouse work that competitive shooters demand. The body is shaped for a claw or fingertip grip, and it uses Logitech’s LIGHTSPEED wireless technology for a connection with latency effectively indistinguishable from a wired mouse. Inside is the new HERO 2 sensor, which tracks at up to 32,000 DPI, plus optical switches in the primary buttons that hold up to roughly 100 million clicks before failure.
The Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 is on sale at Amazon for $120, marked down from a $160 list price. That’s a savings of $40, or 25% off.

A major factor for a competitive gaming mouse is the weight. At sub-60 grams, the Superlight 2 belongs to the ultra-lightweight class of gaming mice. However, it does so without the “cheese grater” design aesthetics of cut-out style mice. The light weight of this mouse is achieved by Logitech’s use of a solid, lightweight shell rather than holes in the body to reduce weight. This reduces the risk of dust or debris accumulating inside the mouse.
HERO 2 is the new sensor generation that Logitech rolled out for this revision. Tracking accuracy is rated for up to 32,000 DPI with zero smoothing, zero acceleration, and zero filtering, the trifecta that competitive players have been demanding from sensor makers for years. Tracking speed reaches over 500 inches per second, fast enough that even the most aggressive arm-swing flick shots in Valorant or Counter-Strike register every input.
LIGHTFORCE switches in the left and right primary buttons are a hybrid design that combines a mechanical click feel with an optical actuation mechanism. The mechanical feel is what most players prefer for the tactile feedback, while the optical actuation eliminates the double-clicking issue that plagues purely mechanical microswitches as they wear down over years of use.
Battery life lasts up to 95 hours of continuous gaming on a full charge with the standard 1000Hz polling rate. Bumping the polling rate to 8000Hz with the optional PowerPlay charging mat or HUB dongle reduces runtime, but most players stick with 1000Hz or 4000Hz for the right balance of latency and battery life. Charging is via a standard USB-C cable, and a 60-second top-up adds about 4 hours of playtime.
The bottom of the mouse features pure PTFE feet that glide smoothly on cloth and hard pads alike. A circular cover on the bottom hides a USB-C dongle storage slot for traveling between PCs, useful at LAN tournaments or for taking the mouse on the road for work.
The Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 normally retails for $160, with the current Amazon price at $120. That kind of cut makes a top-tier esports mouse approachable for ranked-ladder players who haven’t been able to justify spending flagship money on peripherals.
