Our Verdict

Logitech G5

Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT is a better gaming mouse than the Logitech G5. The SUPERLIGHT is much newer, and it has an LED sensor with a wider CPI range, a much lower lift-off distance, and a much more consistent sensor. It's also extremely lightweight, can be used wirelessly and wired, and its click latency is lower. It uses Logitech's more recent customization software, which is compatible with macOS.
