Raw Performance

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX is a wireless gaming mouse in Logitech's G PRO X SUPERLIGHT lineup. It weighs virtually the same as the related Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2, but the standout difference is that it has a larger, right-handed shape. Otherwise, it uses the same optical switches and Logitech's flagship HERO 2 sensor. It also supports a maximum wireless polling rate of 8000Hz.

Our Verdict

7.2 Work

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX is a decent mouse for work, despite not being explicitly designed for it. It has excellent build quality, a comfortable right-handed shape, and easily reprogrammable buttons.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX is available in 'Black,' 'White,' or 'Pink' color options. Note that some online retailers may refer to 'Pink' as 'Magenta,' but they're the same color.

We bought and tested the Pink model. Here's a photo of our unit's label.

Compared To Other Mice

Internally, the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX has the same set of components as its sibling, the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2, including the same HERO 2 sensor and Logitech's LIGHTFORCE switches.

The only standout difference is its shape. While the original SUPERLIGHT 2 has a symmetrical design, the SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX has a larger right-handed shape with a medium-sized hump and fairly wide back end, making it more supportive for palm or claw grip types. In all other respects, it delivers the same degree of high-end performance as the SUPERLIGHT 2 and competes directly with other flagship models like the Razer Viper V3 Pro, and the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro.

Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 and the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX are both outstanding, lightweight, wireless gaming mice. They weigh nearly the same and use the same sensor with virtually identical performance, but the DEX has a larger, right-handed shape. 

Razer Viper V3 Pro

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX and the Razer Viper V3 Pro are both lightweight wireless gaming mice. The Logitech has a larger right-handed shape, while the Razer has a symmetrical shape. The two perform very similarly, but the Razer has better stock mouse feet.

Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX and the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT are both lightweight wireless gaming mice. The SUPERLIGHT has a medium symmetrical shape while the DEX has a larger, right-handed shape. They both deliver outstanding gaming performance, but the DEX has a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz.

Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX and the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro are lightweight wireless gaming mice with right-handed shapes. The Logitech's shape is more rounded, with a more supportive rear hump and lower front click buttons. The Razer's hump tapers off sooner than the Logitech's, and has sides that flare out more. The Razer is better suited for users with larger hands, while the Logitech is more acommodating overall. Performance-wise, the two are very similar, but the Logitech supports an 8000Hz polling rate out of the box, whereas you have to buy a separate dongle to achieve higher polling rates with the Razer.

Build Quality

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX has excellent build quality. The body is made of smooth, matte coated plastic that feels pleasant to the touch. There aren’t any creaking sounds when squeezing the mouse and no rattling pieces if you shake it. The main buttons have a crisp, satisfying actuation and don’t have any noticeable side-to-side play. Unfortunately, the side buttons feel a bit mushier. Lastly, while the shell feels very sturdy and exhibits very minimal flex, you can actuate the side buttons if you press forcefully into the side panels below the buttons. However, this is fairly typical and likely won’t present issues during normal usage unless you grip your mouse very forcefully.

The lowest weight measurement is achieved by removing the plastic puck that comes pre-installed on the mouse. This puck is also compatible with Logitech's G PowerPlay wireless charging mousepad.

This mouse includes an alternate, slightly heavier puck (1.9g), which has a PTFE foot.

Hand Size Recommendation
Palm Grip Hand Recommendation
Claw Grip Hand Recommendation
Fingertip Grip Hand Recommendation

Despite being fairly large and bulky, the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX is well-suited for most hand sizes and grip types. Its fuller shape and rear hump make it well-suited for a palm or claw grip.

If you have very large hands, your fingers may hang over the front edge of the mouse, particularly when using a palm grip.

The side buttons and scroll wheel are easy to reach. However, if you have extra small hands, you may have some difficulty reaching the side buttons using any grip type, and the overall size of the mouse may make the mouse difficult to control, particularly for a fingertip grip.

This mouse has a maximum advertised battery life of up to 95 hours of constant motion. Note that Logitech doesn't indicate on their product page what settings they used to produce this estimate.

Be aware that using the 'optical only' setting in the software for the LIGHTFORCE switches and using higher polling rates, in particular, will drain the battery much quicker.

This mouse comes with a rubber USB-A to USB-C cable. It's decently flexible and doesn't have any kinks from its packaging. However, like other rubber cables, it's prone to catch and drag on tables compared to higher-quality paracord-like cables.

The feet glide smoothly on hard and soft mousepads and directly on desks. They produce slightly scratchy sounds when used directly on a desk, but it doesn't impact the glide performance.

The pre-installed plastic puck on the underside of the mouse doesn't have a PTFE foot. There's an extra plastic puck with a PTFE foot included in the box. It likely won't provide any noticeable gliding improvement for most people, but it can provide more gliding surface area if you have a very soft mousepad or press down fairly forcefully into your mouse while using it.

LIGHTFORCE

This mouse uses what Logitech calls their LIGHTFORCE optical-mechanical switches. They're the same model switches (Omron D2FP-FH1) used in both the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 and the Logitech G502 X.

In the configuration software, there's an option to toggle these switches between an 'optical only' mode and a 'hybrid' mode. The switches feel the same in both modes, but the hybrid mode consumes less battery at the cost of latency performance.

The scroll wheel is made of plastic, and it has a rubberized strip with small ridges for added grip. Scrolling feels smooth and precise. The steps have slightly more definition than on the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2, and scrolling is slightly louder but still relatively quiet.

The middle click button takes a moderate amount of force to actuate and feels the same as the original SUPERLIGHT 2.

The software is well laid out and intuitive. It allows you to customize various expected options, including CPI, polling rate, sensor calibration, button assignments, and custom macros.

Additionally, the software allows you to change how the left- and right-click switches operate. You can toggle the switches between a default 'optical only' mode which provide the best performance for gaming and a power-saving 'hybrid' setting.

Like similar software options from other major manufacturers, Logitech's G HUB software is a source of frequent criticism from the broader community. While we didn't experience any issues during the testing of this mouse, many users online identify this software as requiring frequent updates and taking up disproportionate system resources, among other complaints. This software may be frustrating if you prefer more lightweight software options or no software at all.
