Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 DEX Review
The mouse most FPS pros use today. The DEX shape adds subtle ergonomic curves; the HERO 2 sensor is the cleanest Logitech has shipped; 8000Hz polling and 60g of weight close almost every gap a competitive player could complain about. Is it worth $159? Yes — for most players. Here's the honest breakdown.

- You play FPS competitively (Valorant, CS2, Apex, Fortnite)
- Palm or claw grip on a right-handed shape
- You want the most-proven wireless mouse in 2026
- You'll keep it 3+ years (cost amortized)
- You need 5+ side buttons (try Basilisk V3 Pro)
- You're left-handed — no symmetric option in DEX shape
- $159 is a stretch — the G305 at $39 won't limit you
- You play MMO with 12+ keybind requirements
The DEX shape — what changed and why it matters
The original G Pro X Superlight (2020) and Superlight 2 (2024) shipped with a near-symmetrical shape. Subtle curves, but you could happily run it claw or fingertip in either hand. The Superlight 2 DEX (mid-2025) is the same overall mouse with a redesigned shell that adds clear right-handed ergonomic shaping — a higher hump centered for palm support, a slight inward curve on the right side for ring/pinky security.
Why it matters: the original Superlight occasionally felt slippery under fast clicks. Players doing Valorant 1v1 micro-corrections or Fortnite edit-fights would notice the mouse subtly moving under the palm during rapid LMB taps. The DEX shape eliminates this. It's planted. Your hand feels supported during the same actions, and there's no accuracy cost from your palm constantly micro-adjusting its grip.
Performance: how it actually feels in real games
FPS tracking (Apex, CS2, Valorant)
The HERO 2 sensor is the headline upgrade vs the original Superlight's HERO 25K. In practice the gap is small — both sensors track flawlessly at any sane DPI. Where HERO 2 wins is at 8000Hz polling under load. Some 4K and 8K wireless mice from competitors stutter at extreme polling rates; the Superlight 2 doesn't. On a 240Hz monitor running 1000Hz polling, the experience is identical to the original Superlight. On a 360Hz+ setup with 8K polling, the Superlight 2 stays clean.
Click latency for tap-firing
Click latency is the time from physical switch press to OS register. Logitech's been tweaking this generation-over-generation; the Superlight 2 is meaningfully faster than the original (around 1ms vs ~3ms). For Valorant tap-firing, CS2 one-tap headshots, and any tac-FPS where you're click-rhythming with a sub-machine gun, this is genuinely felt — not on a single click, but cumulatively across a long match.
Ergonomic comfort over long sessions
This is where the DEX shape earns its name. A best-of-13 Valorant match is 30+ minutes of fine motor work; a Fortnite Arena grind is hours. The supportive shape reduces wrist tension noticeably vs the symmetrical original. Players coming from Razer Viper-style ambidextrous shapes will need a few days of adjustment but most settle in.
Comparison: Superlight 2 DEX vs the alternatives
| Mouse | Weight | Sensor | Polling | Shape | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Superlight 2 DEX | 60g | HERO 2 | 8000Hz | Ergonomic | $159 |
| Superlight 2 (orig) | 60g | HERO 2 | 8000Hz | Symmetrical | $149 |
| Razer Viper V3 Pro | 54g | Focus Pro 35K | 8000Hz | Ambidextrous | $159 |
| Pulsar X2V2 | 52g | PAW3395 | 4000Hz | Ambidextrous | $94 |
| Logitech G305 | 99g | HERO | 1000Hz | Symmetrical | $39 |
vs. Original Superlight 2 (non-DEX)
Same sensor, same weight, same wireless. The DEX shape is the only meaningful difference. Pick DEX unless you specifically want symmetrical (left-handed, fingertip grip, aesthetic).
vs. Razer Viper V3 Pro
Lighter (54g vs 60g), pure ambidextrous, same 8K polling. Most Valorant and CS2 pros are split between these two — usually based on which shape they trained on. Both are correct choices; pick by grip preference. The Viper is slightly more aggressive with battery drain at 8K polling.
vs. Pulsar X2V2
The X2V2 is $65 cheaper and 8g lighter. The performance ceiling is genuinely close — Pulsar's caught up to the flagships. The Superlight 2 DEX wins on: pro scene proven-ness, replacement-skate availability, software polish, click latency. If you're serious about competitive FPS and have $159, the Superlight is the safer call. If $94 vs $159 matters to your budget, the X2V2 is excellent.
vs. Logitech G305
Same wireless protocol (LIGHTSPEED), but the G305 is 39g heavier and 1000Hz polling only. For under-$50 wireless gaming, the G305 is unbeatable. For competitive use, the Superlight 2 is meaningfully better — but the G305 is what you put in a kid's first PC.
What's not great
Only 2 side buttons
If you need 5+ side buttons (MMO, Fortnite build-on-mouse), this is the wrong mouse. The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro (11 buttons) and Logitech G502 X PLUS (13 buttons) exist for that exact reason — and they're both excellent — but they're heavier (112g and 106g respectively) and structurally different products.
$159 is real money
You can buy a Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED at $39 and lose almost nothing in competitive Apex or Valorant. The Superlight 2 DEX justifies its price tag if you're a serious player who'll use it for years; it doesn't if you're a casual ranked player. Be honest about which you are.
No RGB
Intentional, but worth knowing. The Superlight family is all about minimum weight and zero distractions. If you want RGB on a flagship-class mouse, look at the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro or Logitech G502 X PLUS.
Battery at 8000Hz polling
Drops from 95 hours (1K) to ~17 hours (8K). For most players this isn't a real downside — leave it on 1000Hz, charge once a season. But if you do leave 8K on, expect to charge nightly.
Build quality & long-term ownership
Click feel and switch reliability
The Superlight 2 uses Optical-Mechanical hybrid switches. These are not the same switches that gave the original Superlight (and Razer DeathAdder V2) the infamous double-click drift over time — those were pure mechanical Omron switches. Through 12+ months of heavy use across review units, double-click issues haven't appeared on Superlight 2. The most common complaint is now scroll wheel imperfections, which is a much smaller issue and is covered by the 2-year warranty.
Skates and accessories
PTFE skates ship pre-installed. Replacement skates are widely available — Logitech's own and excellent third-party options (Tiger Ice, Hyperglide, Pulsar). The Superlight family has the most replacement-skate ecosystem of any gaming mouse, which matters if you intend to use it daily for years.
Software (G HUB)
G HUB is fine. Not great. It's bigger than it needs to be, occasionally complains about updates, and runs as a background service when nothing is using it. But the Superlight 2 supports onboard memory — set up your DPI stages and key bindings once, and you can uninstall G HUB and the mouse remembers everything. This is the right approach.
Verdict
The Superlight 2 DEX is the safest premium FPS mouse purchase in 2026. It's the mouse the largest share of professional Valorant, CS2, Apex, and Fortnite players are using. The DEX shape solves the only legitimate complaint about the original Superlight (slippery under fast clicks). The HERO 2 sensor and 8000Hz polling close the gap to Razer's flagship. Battery life is genuine "forget it exists" territory. Click latency is industry-leading.
The $159 price is the only real friction. If you can afford it and you play competitive FPS regularly, this is the right mouse. If $159 is a stretch, the Logitech G305 at $39 is shockingly close on actual gameplay performance — buy that, and upgrade in a year if you've genuinely outgrown it.
If you're choosing between this and the Razer Viper V3 Pro: pick by grip style. Ergonomic palm/claw → Superlight 2 DEX. Pure ambidextrous claw/fingertip → Viper V3 Pro. Both are correct flagship choices.
