Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 SE Wireless Gaming Mouse Review UK (2026) - Tested

There's a specific kind of frustration that comes with a mouse that's almost right. You know the feeling: you're mid-session, your aim feels slightly off, and you can't tell if it's you or the hardware. After a decade of reviewing peripherals, I've learned that the best mice disappear into your hand. You stop thinking about them. The worst ones? You're constantly aware of every click, every wobble, every gram of unnecessary weight. The Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 SE sits in interesting territory , it's built around the idea that a mouse should get out of your way, and for the most part, it delivers on that promise. But there are caveats worth knowing before you hand over your money.

I've been using the Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 SE wireless gaming mouse for three weeks across a mix of competitive FPS sessions, daily productivity work, and extended late-night gaming. It's the "SE" variant of Logitech's flagship Superlight 2 line , which means you're getting a lot of the same DNA as the full-fat version, but with some deliberate spec adjustments to bring the price down into lower mid-range territory. At 60 grams and with a 44K DPI sensor on board, the headline numbers are genuinely impressive. Whether the real-world experience matches those numbers is what this review is actually about.

The short version: this is a proper wireless gaming mouse that punches above its price point in several key areas, with a couple of compromises that are worth understanding before you commit. Let's get into it.

Weight is the other big story here. 60 grams is genuinely light. Not "light for a wireless mouse" light , just light, full stop. The original Superlight 2 came in at around 60g too, so Logitech hasn't compromised significantly on mass for the SE variant. That's a meaningful achievement when you consider the wireless hardware, battery, and receiver all have to fit inside that shell. The five programmable buttons cover the two main clicks, scroll wheel click, and two side buttons , a fairly standard layout that suits right-handed users well.

Battery life is quoted at up to 95 hours, which in my testing proved optimistic but not wildly so. I was consistently getting 70-80 hours of mixed use before needing to charge, which is still excellent. USB-C charging is a welcome addition , no more proprietary cables, and you can charge while playing if you're running low. The LIGHTSPEED wireless connection operates on 2.4GHz, which is Logitech's own low-latency wireless protocol that's been battle-tested across their lineup for years.

LIGHTSPEED wireless is Logitech's proprietary 2.4GHz protocol, and it's one of the better implementations in the industry. The company has been iterating on this technology for years, and the result is a connection that's genuinely indistinguishable from wired in normal use. The USB receiver is tiny , about the size of a fingernail , and plugs into any USB-A port. Latency is rated at sub-1ms, which puts it on par with or ahead of most wired connections when you factor in cable drag. I ran the mouse alongside a wired reference mouse during testing and couldn't detect any difference in responsiveness.

The 60g weight deserves its own mention as a feature rather than just a spec. Logitech achieves this through a solid-shell design (no honeycomb cutouts here, which some people prefer aesthetically and for hygiene reasons) combined with careful internal engineering. The result is a mouse that feels almost unnervingly light when you first pick it up, but you adapt within minutes. For low-sensitivity players who cover large distances on their mousepad, that weight reduction genuinely reduces fatigue over long sessions. And for high-sensitivity players, it makes micro-adjustments feel more natural. The five-button layout is clean and uncluttered , two side buttons sit in a sensible position for thumb access without being accidentally triggered during normal grip.

USB-C charging rounds out the feature set nicely. It's a small thing, but not having to hunt for a proprietary cable is genuinely appreciated in 2026. The charging cable doubles as a wired connection if you want to use it that way, though the wireless performance is good enough that you probably won't bother.

Click feel is where things get more interesting. The main switches have a satisfying, crisp actuation , not mushy, not overly stiff. They're not quite at the level of the optical switches you'll find on some competitors (more on that in the comparison section), but they're responsive and consistent. I didn't experience any double-clicking issues during testing, which has historically been a concern with mechanical switches under heavy use. The scroll wheel has a light, tactile feel that works well for quick weapon switching in FPS games. Side buttons are clicky and well-positioned , I never accidentally hit them, but they were always where I expected them to be.

Wireless performance was genuinely impressive. I tested with the receiver plugged into a USB hub about 1.5 metres from the mouse, and also directly into the PC at closer range. No dropouts, no lag spikes, no interference issues even with other 2.4GHz devices in the room. The LIGHTSPEED connection held solid throughout. Battery life in real-world use landed consistently around 70-75 hours of active gaming, which is well below the 95-hour claim but still excellent in absolute terms. I charged it twice during the three-week test period, which tells you everything you need to know about daily practicality.

Where does it fall short? The mouse feet (PTFE glides) are decent but not exceptional. On a hard mousepad they feel slightly grittier than I'd like compared to premium aftermarket options. It's not a dealbreaker, but if you're particular about glide feel, you might find yourself reaching for replacement feet within a few months. The shape is also worth flagging , it's a fairly neutral right-handed design that suits palm and claw grips well, but fingertip grip users might find the rear hump slightly too pronounced. These are relatively minor points against an otherwise strong performance picture.

The main clicks have a consistent actuation feel from left to right, with no noticeable wobble in the button travel. The scroll wheel has a rubber grip texture that's held up well without any peeling or degradation. Side buttons feel firmly mounted with no lateral play. The USB-C port is recessed slightly into the shell, which should help protect it from accidental damage. The PTFE mouse feet are pre-applied and sit flush with the base , they're functional, but as I mentioned in the performance section, they're not the slickest feet I've encountered at this price point.

One thing worth noting: the Superlight 2 SE doesn't have RGB lighting. For some people that's a positive (less power draw, simpler aesthetics, no software dependency for lighting control). For others it'll be a dealbreaker if they're building a themed setup. Personally, I think it's a sensible trade-off for a mouse focused on performance and battery life. The overall build quality impression is of something made to last , not flashy, but properly engineered. Logitech's build reputation is generally strong, and this mouse doesn't undermine that.

The DPI button on the base (rather than on top of the mouse) is a deliberate design choice , it means you can't accidentally change DPI mid-game, which I actually appreciate. You set your preferred DPI steps in G HUB, and the on-base button cycles through them. It's a minor inconvenience if you frequently switch DPI on the fly, but most serious players set one DPI and leave it. The five programmable buttons are easy to remap in G HUB, and profiles are stored on the mouse's onboard memory, so your settings travel with the mouse even on systems without G HUB installed.

Day-to-day use is genuinely friction-free. The mouse wakes from sleep almost instantly when you move it, with no perceptible lag. Charging via USB-C is simple , the cable clicks in securely and the mouse can be used wired while charging if needed. The only mild frustration I encountered was G HUB's tendency to occasionally not recognise the mouse immediately on boot, requiring a USB unplug and replug. It happened maybe three times over three weeks, which is infrequent enough to be annoying rather than genuinely problematic. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing.

Platform compatibility covers Windows and macOS, and in practice it works well on both. On Windows, G HUB gives you full customisation. On macOS, the mouse works natively without software for basic use, though you'll need G HUB for button remapping and DPI adjustment. I tested briefly on a MacBook Pro and the LIGHTSPEED connection was just as stable as on Windows. Linux users should note that G HUB doesn't have official Linux support, though the mouse will function as a basic HID device , you just won't get software customisation without third-party tools.

The 2.4GHz wireless band can theoretically experience interference in congested RF environments (busy offices, flats with lots of wireless devices). In practice, I didn't experience any issues, and LIGHTSPEED's frequency-hopping implementation is robust enough to handle most real-world environments. The receiver range is rated at 10 metres, which is more than adequate for any desktop setup. One thing to be aware of: the mouse doesn't support Bluetooth, so you'll always need the USB receiver. That's fine for desktop gaming setups, but worth knowing if you were hoping to use it cable-free with a laptop that lacks USB-A ports (you'd need a USB-C to USB-A adapter).

It also works surprisingly well as a productivity mouse for daily desktop use. The light weight reduces wrist fatigue during long work sessions, and the wireless freedom is genuinely pleasant when you're switching between tasks. The button layout is clean enough that it doesn't feel excessive for non-gaming use. If you're someone who games in the evening and works on the same machine during the day, this mouse handles both roles without complaint. That said, it lacks the extra buttons that dedicated productivity mice offer, so if you rely on heavily customised button layouts for creative software, you might find five buttons limiting.

For MOBA or RTS players, the Superlight 2 SE is functional but not optimised. Those genres typically benefit from more programmable buttons, and the five-button layout here is fairly minimal. You can make it work, but there are better-suited options. Similarly, if you play MMOs where you need a dozen or more keybinds accessible from the mouse, look elsewhere. The SE is clearly designed with FPS and general gaming in mind, and it excels in that context.

Finally, there's a strong case for this mouse as a first serious wireless gaming upgrade. If you're coming from a wired budget mouse or an older wireless mouse with a mediocre sensor, the jump in quality here is immediately noticeable. The combination of a proper sensor, genuinely low weight, and reliable wireless at this price tier is a compelling package for anyone looking to step up their setup without spending flagship prices.

The "SE" designation does mean some things were trimmed relative to the full Superlight 2. The original Superlight 2 uses optical switches for the main clicks (faster actuation, no debounce delay, theoretically longer lifespan), while the SE uses mechanical switches. The full version also has a slightly different shape that some users prefer. Whether those differences justify the price gap between the two depends on how serious you are about competitive gaming. For most people, including people who play regularly and care about their setup, the SE is the smarter buy. The mechanical switches are perfectly good , they're just not quite at the cutting edge.

Compared to similarly priced wireless gaming mice from other brands, the Superlight 2 SE holds up well. The main competition in this price bracket includes options from Razer and SteelSeries, and while those have their own strengths, Logitech's LIGHTSPEED wireless is arguably the most mature and reliable implementation at this price point. If you're debating between this and a wired mouse at a lower price, the wireless freedom and sensor quality here make a strong case for spending the extra. And if you're debating between this and a more expensive flagship, honestly, for most users the SE is enough mouse.

Against the DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed, the Superlight 2 SE wins on weight and sensor quality. The HERO 2 is a more capable sensor than the Focus X, and 60g versus 75g is a meaningful difference in feel. The DeathAdder's shape is more comfortable for palm grip users with larger hands, which might tip the balance for some buyers. Against the Aerox 3 Wireless, the Superlight 2 SE offers a better sensor and more reliable wireless, but the Aerox 3's Bluetooth support gives it an edge for multi-device use. The honeycomb shell on the Aerox 3 is also divisive , some people love it, others find it uncomfortable or a hygiene concern.

The battery life comparison is worth addressing directly. The DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed's claimed 300-hour battery life is dramatically higher than the Superlight 2 SE's 95-hour claim. This is partly because the DeathAdder uses a lower-power sensor and partly because it's a heavier mouse with more room for battery capacity. In practice, 70-80 hours of real-world use from the Superlight 2 SE is still excellent , you're charging it roughly once a week with heavy daily use. But if battery anxiety is a real concern for you, the DeathAdder has a significant edge there.

The most common complaints in the reviews align with what I found in testing. A handful of buyers mention the G HUB software being occasionally temperamental, particularly on first setup. A few note that the shape doesn't suit all grip styles , specifically fingertip grip users who find the rear hump slightly too high. There are occasional mentions of the mouse feet wearing faster than expected, which matches my observation that they're functional but not exceptional. Importantly, there are very few complaints about sensor performance or wireless reliability, which suggests Logitech has the core functionality right.

One pattern worth noting in the reviews: buyers who are upgrading from budget wired mice tend to be the most enthusiastic, rating the jump in quality as dramatic. Buyers coming from other premium wireless mice (including the full Superlight 2) are more measured, noting the switch difference and shape variations. That tells you something useful about where this mouse sits in the market , it's a genuine step up from entry-level, and a smart buy for anyone who doesn't need the absolute cutting edge.

The compromises are real but manageable. Mechanical switches instead of optical means slightly slower actuation and a theoretically shorter lifespan under heavy use , though in practice, the switches feel good and I'd expect them to last years of normal gaming. The shape suits palm and claw grip users well but might not work for everyone. G HUB software has occasional quirks. The mouse feet are functional rather than exceptional. None of these are reasons to avoid the mouse , they're just things to know going in.

For competitive FPS players, daily gamers who want wireless freedom without spending flagship money, or anyone upgrading from a budget or ageing mouse, the Superlight 2 SE is a genuinely strong recommendation. It's the kind of mouse that gets out of your way and lets you focus on actually playing. And at its price point, that's a pretty impressive achievement. I'd score it 8.5 out of 10 , excellent core performance with minor compromises that are easy to live with.
