Build and Design
The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 DEX follows the same minimalist design philosophy as the Superlight 2. Logitech removed side buttons on the right side, RGB lighting, and all excess material to reach 60 grams. The shell is a clean ambidextrous form. No thumb rest. No sculpted grip zones.
The surface texture is a fine matte finish. It holds position in sweaty hands without grip tape. The primary buttons use LIGHTFORCE optical switches: a hybrid optical-mechanical design that registers the click through a light beam rather than physical contact alone. This eliminates debounce delay and the risk of double-clicking from mechanical switch wear.
The LIGHTSPEED 2.4 GHz USB receiver comes in the box. It is small and fits flush in most USB ports. The USB-C charging port is the major upgrade from the Superlight 2. No more micro-USB incompatibility. Any standard USB-C cable charges this mouse.
Performance and Daily Use
The HERO 2 sensor runs at up to 44,000 DPI. It has zero hardware acceleration and zero smoothing. Every physical movement maps directly to cursor movement. At 800 to 1600 DPI, which covers most competitive FPS settings, tracking is spotless.
8K Hz polling is the key performance upgrade from the Superlight 2. Standard gaming mice poll at 1,000 Hz. At 8,000 Hz, the mouse reports position every 0.125ms. In competitive FPS games, this tightens the connection between physical movement and on-screen response.
At 60 grams, the mouse moves with minimal resistance. Flick shots and wide swipes require less effort. Wrist fatigue over long sessions is noticeably lower compared to mice in the 90 to 120 gram range.
Battery life is rated at 95 hours at the standard polling rate. At 8K Hz polling, battery consumption increases. Real-world use at 8K Hz lands around 40 to 50 hours.
G Hub software handles DPI customization and button remapping. It installs as a background service.
Who Should Buy It
This mouse is built for competitive FPS players. If you play CS2, Valorant, or Apex Legends and want hardware that removes all latency variables, the DEX delivers. The 8K Hz polling and LIGHTFORCE switches address the last hardware-level lag points.
It is also right for anyone moving from a heavier mouse to reduce wrist fatigue. The difference between a 100g mouse and a 60g mouse is substantial over an eight-hour session.
Who Should Skip It
Productivity users should skip it. No horizontal scroll wheel. No multi-device pairing. No extra buttons for workflow shortcuts. The Logitech MX Master 3S handles that use case.
Casual gamers who do not notice the difference between 1K Hz and 8K Hz polling will not benefit from the $159 price. The Logitech G305 delivers solid wireless performance for under $40.
Palm grip users with larger hands may find the flat, low-profile ambidextrous shape uncomfortable over long sessions.
