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.

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.
For more recommendations, see our picks for the best gaming mouse, the best wireless gaming mouse, and the best lightweight mouse.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX and the Pulsar X3 are lightweight wireless gaming mice with right-handed "ergo" shapes. The Logitech's shape is versatile but overall best suited for a palm grip. It also has better raw gaming performance and supports a maximum polling rate of 8Khz out of the box. Comparatively, the Pulsar's shape has a wider and more supportive rear that makes it suited for palm or claw grips. It supports a polling rate of 1000Hz out of the box, but you can buy a separate 8k dongle to increase the polling rate to 8000Hz.

Test Results
The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX has a minimal style and a smooth matte plastic coating. We bought the Pink version of this mouse, but it's also available in White or Black. The palm rest has a silver-colored Logitech Logo, and the word "SUPERLIGHT" is written on the right side.
This mouse is somewhat large and bulky, but there's a compartment on the bottom where you can store the wireless receiver.
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.
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.

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.
You can reprogram all of the buttons, including the left- and right-click buttons. You can also assign what Logitech calls a 'G-Shift' button that allows you to toggle to a secondary layer of programmable controls.
The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX has exceptionally low and extremely consistent click latency. It delivers a remarkably responsive-feeling experience for gaming in any genre and is well-suited for casual or competitive play.
We conducted this test with the 'optical only' switch setting selected in the companion software, a 1000Hz wired polling rate, and an 8000Hz wireless polling rate.
We also conducted this test at different wireless polling rates and achieved the following results
- 1000Hz: 1.8 ms
- 4000Hz: 1.4 ms
The G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX's sensor delivers remarkably accurate and consistent tracking during mouse movements based on your chosen CPI setting.
The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX has outstanding sensor latency. It reacts extremely quickly to your inputs, so you won't notice any delay.
The above test results are achieved using the mouse's maximum polling rate of 8000Hz and with gaming surface mode turned off.
We also conducted supplementary testing at 4000Hz and 1000Hz and found the following results:
4000Hz:
- Delay to start of movement: 11.1 ms
- Delay at half movement: 1.8 ms
- Delay to end of movement: 1.3 ms
1000Hz:
- Delay to start of movement: 12.2 ms
- Delay at half movement: 3.0 ms
- Delay to end of movement: 2.6 ms
This mouse's wireless polling rate options are 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz, 4000Hz, and 8000Hz. The wired polling rate options are 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz.
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 left- and right-click buttons are on the louder side and may irritate those around you in noise-sensitive environments. That said, the side buttons, scroll wheel, and middle click button are relatively quiet.
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.

Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX: Main Discussion

I have two suggestions to improve the “best” recommendations for phone calls especially:
- Since there is a huge decline in sound quality when using bluetooth HFP for two way communcation (see Bose 700 thread on this one), this MUST be considered highly on this list. E.g. a headset with a seperate wireless 2.4ghz connector (as some gaming headsets actually have) or especially wired Headsets shall be higher listed in overall voice quality (both input and output) than the Bose 700. Honestly, a cheap USB-C wired headset sounds better in every zoom call than the many bose 700 I bought for the company after the reviews here…
- One thing that might be weird to us - at least I assume - more technical guys is to take the professional look into account. Another reason why people are not using the Bose 700 is because they “look to bulky, almost like gaming headsets” and they end up reverting to Apple Earpods or Airpods, which are simply horrible. I know, we are data driven here, but I simply can’t force the company wide roll out of for example a 2.4 ghz gaming headset with a lot of red and blue strips on it just because it will “improve the phone quality as you guys are asking for”.
Hi Memory!
Thank you for your detailed feedback! You raise good points; many people are already turned away from the idea of gaming headsets as call/office headsets. We’ve even had gaming headsets on this list in the past, but they didn’t really fit user expectations. As a result, we consider the professional look as well as what kinds of products people expect when they search for ‘Bluetooth headsets’. We recognize that not everyone is looking for work/business headphones for making calls. As a result, we try to be a bit more dimensional in our recommendations (and within our Phone Calls usage box) because, just as there are people who require high-functioning mics as part of their jobs, there are also people looking more casually in order to call their friends and family while on the go or from home. In these latter cases, calls are a high priority, but there are also other factors like ANC, battery life, and comfort that are also part of their decision-making process.
As for 2.4gHz connector headsets, this is also something we’ve considered, but there aren’t many non-gaming headsets on the market that use this technology and we also haven’t tested many of them either. We have tested the Jabra Evolve2 85, but they can be very difficult to find in stock, which makes it harder to recommend them.
Thank you again for your comments. It really helps us improve and suggest better products products for your needs. If you have any other feedback, please let us know. :)

I had exactly the same priority - making sure that the person on the other end can’t hear the noise around me. For this, I found the “noise handling” rating here a bit misleading. I believe that rating reflects more how well noise is suppressed for me, but, since I wanted a headset that leaves one ear free anyway (so I can legally use it while driving), that wasn’t my priority. I ended up getting a BlueParrot, which has only one earpiece, and thus doesn’t suppress noise from my surroundings that well, but is doing a great job suppressing noise for the people I speak to. I also confirmed with a number of friends who I could trust would tell me the truth that while they could hear me loud and clear, they didn’t notice the din around me even when I was on a subway platform when a train arrived.
Most of reviewers focusing more on music mode listening and few targeting conversation/conference using bluetooth device.

I am specifically looking for a headset that is best at filtering out background noise on my end so the person i am talking to always thinks I am in a quiet room. It seems your rating for Noise Handling refers to this. This is the only thing I care about. As such, I would love a way to see the headphones ranked specifically by this measure as opposed to the overall score which isn’t what i care about.
