Am I Ready to Upgrade? - Logitech Pro X Superlight 2c

Quick Overview

The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2c is a solid, slightly smaller successor to the original Superlight, retaining the excellent shape and performance metrics like 8000Hz polling, while the main drawbacks noted are the slightly less tactile scroll wheel and the high price point compared to alternatives like the G305 Lightspeed.

Key Points: The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2c is slightly smaller than the original Superlight 2, with dimensions of 4.66 x 2.41 x 1.52 inches compared to the original's 4.92 x 2.50 x 1.57 inches. The mouse features the Hero 2 Optical Sensor, supporting up to 44,000 DPI, 888 IPS max speed, and 88G max acceleration. It includes the proprietary Lightforce Optical-Mechanical switches, which offer a hybrid actuation experience, and supports up to 8000Hz polling rate wirelessly and 1000Hz wired. The reviewer expresses disappointment that the scroll wheel clicks feel mushy and the side buttons are too far forward for a comfortable claw grip. The battery life is rated up to 95 hours (or approx. 19 hours at 8000Hz polling rate), a significant improvement over the previous model's 70 hours. The mouse weighs 51g (0.11 lbs) without the receiver dongle, and the reviewer notes the pre-installed PTFE feet are excessive, feeling more like glide skates. The reviewer suggests the $159.99 price is hard to justify over cheaper, similarly performing alternatives like the Logitech G305 Lightspeed, which costs around $30-$40.

Context: This video is a detailed review of the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2c, the successor to the popular G Pro X Superlight gaming mouse. The reviewer compares the new model against its predecessor and other mice in the market, focusing on physical changes, included accessories, software features, sensor performance, and overall value proposition at its premium price point.

Detailed Analysis

The reviewer unboxes the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2c, noting the packaging is slicker and more environmentally friendly than past iterations, though still resulting in a semi-reusable box. Key accessories include the mouse, a USB-C charging cable (which the reviewer notes is chunky), a receiver extension adapter, a LIGHTSPEED wireless receiver, and grip tape, though no extra feet are included. The main differentiating factor of the 2c is its slightly smaller physical size compared to the original Superlight 2 (4.66 x 2.41 x 1.52 inches vs. 4.92 x 2.50 x 1.57 inches), which makes it better suited for claw grip users who found the original slightly too large. The mouse retains the excellent Hero 2 Optical Sensor, capable of up to 44,000 DPI, 888 IPS, and 88G acceleration, and features Lightforce Optical-Mechanical switches. Battery life is improved to approximately 95 hours (or 19 hours at 8000Hz polling). The reviewer criticizes the scroll wheel clicks for feeling mushy and the side buttons for being positioned too far forward for comfortable use with a claw grip. Furthermore, the mouse lacks RGB lighting. Overall, while the performance is solid and the weight is excellent at 51g, the reviewer concludes that the high $159.99 price point is difficult to recommend when cheaper alternatives like the G305 Lightspeed offer nearly comparable performance.
