G Pro X Superlight 2.
The safe shape returns with optical switches, Type-C, and a 2000Hz polling rate. A conservative but necessary update.

The Benchmark, Updated
The original G Pro X Superlight (GPX) defined a generation of gaming mice. It proved that a sub-65g wireless mouse could have a flawless sensor, zero creak, and weeks of battery life. The GPX2 doesn't reinvent the wheel; it just adds the features we've been asking for since 2021.
Switch Performance & Latency
Logitech's new "Lightforce" hybrid switches combine an optical beam for actuation with a mechanical leaf for tactility. The result is a click that is significantly heavier and louder than the original GPX. While this eliminates any possibility of double-clicking, the actuation force may fatigue players who prefer spam-clicking in MOBAs or RTS games.

Sensor Accuracy: Hero 2
The Hero 2 sensor increases the maximum tracking speed to 500 IPS and maximum DPI to 32,000. More importantly, it natively supports 2000Hz polling rate. In our MouseTester v1.5 analysis, the Hero 2 shows exceptional polling stability. xCount variance at 2KHz is within a 2% margin, which is practically flawless.
Shape & Build
The shape is 1:1 identical to the original GPX. It remains the ultimate "safe" shape—it doesn't force your hand into a specific grip, making it viable for palm, claw, or fingertip, though it masters none. The coating feels slightly chalkier, improving grip slightly over the original's tendency to feel slippery when cold.
Verdict
If you love the GPX shape but wanted USB-C, optical switches, and a polling rate bump, the GPX2 is exactly that. However, at $159, it feels like a mandatory refresh rather than a leap forward, especially compared to the aggressive innovation from smaller brands in the 4KHz/8KHz space.
Common Mistakes
- Using the wrong polling rate: Many users buy the GPX2 and forget to enable 2000Hz polling in G HUB, leaving performance on the table.
- Skate replacement: The stock skates have a lengthy break-in period. Don't replace them on day one; give them a week of heavy use first.
FAQ
- Is the GPX2 worth upgrading from the original GPX?
- Only if your original GPX is double-clicking or the battery is dying. The performance difference is not noticeable to 99% of players.
- Does it support 4KHz polling?
- Logitech has pushed a firmware update allowing up to 4000Hz, though out of the box it was advertised at 2000Hz.
