Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2c: The Ultimate Gaming Mouse for Esports Players with Smaller Hands | Review
Logitech has been a strong proponent of the 60g weight for gaming mice, but that perspective shifted with the introduction of the G Pro X Superlight 2C. This compact mouse is essentially a smaller version of the original Superlight 2, featuring the same Hero 2 sensor and design. It expands the brand’s offerings rather than introducing a completely new model, making it a great option for those with smaller hands.
This mini mouse packs the performance of top-tier gaming mice, boasting a high-quality sensor, esports-level polling speeds, and responsive main switches, all in a more compact design.

I was never a fan of the original Superlight’s design; it felt a bit bulky and clunky, which sometimes affected my accuracy. I preferred the more contoured DEX model that came out later.
The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2C, however, feels much better in hand. With a length of 118.4mm and a width of 61.2mm, it strikes a balance between nimbleness and comfort, allowing for a claw grip during extended use. While I still miss the curved left side, I can manage a claw grip comfortably, though a palm grip feels less controlled for my smaller hands. The reduced dome height of 38mm also provides ample space for micro-adjustments.
Compared to other compact mice, the Superlight 2C is slightly shorter. For instance, the Razer Cobra Hyperspeed measures 119.6mm, while the Glorious Model O 2 Mini Wireless is 120mm long. This shorter design facilitates easier pivoting with the pinky and thumb.
At 53g, the Superlight 2C is lightweight, but Corsair’s Sabre Pro V2 Ultralight weighs in at just 36g, offering an even more weightless experience. While the 2C is among the lighter options from mainstream brands this year, it may not be the top choice for those prioritizing weight.
That said, the build quality is exceptional. Most gaming mice I test are compared to the Keychron M7 8K, which offers pro-level specs at a lower price. Logitech surpasses Keychron in material quality, with a sturdy chassis that feels solid and free of creaks or flex. It has a smooth matte finish, making it feel like a mouse built to last.
If you’ve used a Logitech Superlight before, you know what to expect. The button layout remains unchanged, featuring two side buttons and no DPI shifting options, which is a bit disappointing. I enjoy toggling through my DPI presets, but I recognize it’s not a feature everyone uses regularly.
One standout feature of the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2C is the scroll wheel. It’s positioned at a comfortable height and offers a satisfying response with well-defined notches and just the right amount of tension.
However, the side buttons don’t quite match the quality of alternatives like the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro. They feel a bit soft and less responsive, which can make them harder to reach during relaxed palm grips.
Logitech has opted for G Hub as its software solution, avoiding the web-based approach many competitors have taken. While it’s nice not to add more downloads, G Hub is a solid program with a clean interface and intuitive menus. Keybindings can be easily set from an image of the Superlight 2C, and macro recording is straightforward.
You can customize BHOP sensitivity from 100ms to 1,000ms to ensure precise scroll wheel inputs and avoid accidental hits. The mouse offers five DPI settings ranging from 400 to a whopping 44,000, along with presets for various gaming genres.
Like most high-end models, the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2C forgoes Bluetooth support, opting instead for an 8,000Hz 2.4GHz connection. One of my favorite features of Logitech mice is that you don’t need an extra cable and receiver for this high-speed connection; the 2C operates with a single USB-A dongle. This setup outperforms many competitors, and I experienced no latency issues.
The 2C can also be used in wired mode with the included USB-C cable. However, for a premium esports mouse priced at $160, I would have expected a paracord option instead of a rubber cable, which can drag on a desk mat.
Despite its smaller size, the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2C excels in battery life. After two weeks of use, including some long gaming sessions, I’m still at 45% power. Logitech claims it can last up to 95 hours of continuous use, surpassing the Corsair Sabre Pro V2 Ultralight and matching the larger Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 DEX and Superlight 2. The 2C is also compatible with Logitech’s PowerPlay charging mouse pad system.
Logitech has kept the Hero 2 sensor unchanged, which was a leading sensor at launch, offering a maximum DPI of 44,000 and an impressive 888 IPS. While most players won’t use the full sensitivity, the IPS tracking speed is a definite advantage. Razer’s latest sensor has since surpassed Logitech’s, with the DeathAdder V4 Pro featuring a max DPI of 45,000 and a higher 900 IPS.
However, these numbers will only matter to the most discerning users. The sensor still delivers smooth tracking on various surfaces, with customizable lift-off distance and asymmetric sensitivity settings available for both axes.
If you prefer a tactile mouse switch, you’ll appreciate the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2C’s hybrid switches, which combine the satisfying click of mechanical switches with the speed of optical actuation. This results in a robust feel with a short actuation distance for quick inputs.
Logitech isn’t reinventing the wheel with this release, and the price reflects that. At $159.99, you’re paying for a high-end sensor, excellent switches, and a compact design, placing the Superlight 2C alongside other esports flagships. It deserves its spot, but it’s primarily aimed at competitive players, especially those seeking a smaller design.
Casual gamers may find it hard to justify the price. If you’re looking for a smaller mouse, the Glorious Model O 2 Mini offers a lower price of $99.99 while sacrificing the 8,000Hz polling rate, which most won’t notice. Similarly, those wanting a slimmer design might find better value in the Razer Cobra Hyperspeed.
For those who don’t mind size, the DeathAdder V4 Pro remains a top choice with its advanced sensor, ergonomic shape, and superior side buttons. However, it is bulkier, making the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2C a better fit for users with smaller hands.

I used the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2C for three weeks, during some of my busiest workdays and gaming sessions. I tested it extensively in Doom: The Dark Ages, The Outer Worlds 2, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, along with my usual CS2 and Apex Legends gameplay.
