Logitech G Pro X Superlight Review: The Pro Standard, Showing Its Age

★★★★ 4.2/5

Reviewed 2026-06-29

For years the most-run mouse in pro FPS, and the shape is still a benchmark — 63 g, a flawless HERO sensor, 70-hour battery. But at $159.99 it's now outclassed on the spec sheet: a 1000 Hz polling cap where rivals do 8K, and the long-documented Omron double-click failure mode. You're buying a proven shape and a brand, not the lightest or fastest mouse anymore.

Best for: Players who already know the Superlight shape fits their hand and want the safe, ubiquitous pro-proven option.

The good

  • +The benchmark ambidextrous shape — fits the widest range of grips
  • +Flawless HERO 25K sensor — tracking is past any human ceiling
  • +70-hour battery, one of the best on a wireless mouse
  • +The most pro-validated mouse of its generation — a known quantity

The catch

  • 1000 Hz polling cap — rivals at this price do native 8K
  • 63 g is no longer light by 2024 flagship standards (sub-50 g exists)
  • Documented Omron double-click/debounce failure mode over time
  • $159.99 buys an older platform; the Superlight 2 supersedes it

AimBench insight

You're paying $159.99 for a proven shape and brand on a 1000 Hz, 63 g platform that the Superlight 2 already supersedes with native 8K — buy the original only on a real discount, and check the switches for the documented double-click drift.

Best-built score

Beyond the 5-star verdict above, we run every mouse through a measured best-built composite — independent click latency, sensor integrity, build/QC, weight, polling-link and value-for-money, each sourced (TechPowerUp et al.). It grades engineering compromise for the money, not win-rate. Here it scores 83/100, #6 of 7 measured Flagship-class mice.

There is no mouse more associated with competitive FPS than the G Pro X Superlight. For a long stretch it was the single most-run mouse on pro rosters, and the reason is the shape: a medium ambidextrous shell that suits more hands and grips than almost anything else. That hasn't changed. What has changed is everything around it.

Where it still wins

The HERO 25K sensor is flawless — its tracking ceiling is far past anything a human hand produces, so on the one axis that could matter, it gives up nothing to a 2024 flagship. The 70-hour battery is genuinely excellent, and the shape remains a safe bet. If a Superlight fits your hand, you will never be held back by its tracking.

Where the years show

The polling caps at 1000 Hz — which is the floor most players should run anyway, but rivals at this exact price now offer native 8K, so you're paying flagship money for a budget-tier link spec. At 63 g it's no longer light; sub-50 g mice exist for less. And the Omron switches carry a well-documented double-click failure mode that shows up for some owners over time. Our measured best-built composite (below) prices all of that in honestly.

If you love the shape, the newer G Pro X Superlight 2 is the same silhouette with native 8K and updated switches — the honest upgrade. Buy the original on a real discount; at full price the platform is a generation behind.
