So, some of you may not know this, but I have a background in gaming. I was never a pro, but I worked with esports organisations before and I am familiar with gaming peripherals – keyboards, a good mouse etc.
Last Christmas, the good folks at Logitech asked if I would like to test out their Logitech G Pro X Superlight. Not one to say no to a good mouse, I happily accepted and they sent over the red version of the wireless gaming mouse to try out.

What is the Logitech G Pro X Superlight
The G PRO X SUPERLIGHT is packed with Logitech’s latest technologies and advancements and was developed in collaboration with a large group of the world’s best esports pros. It is Logitech’s lightest and fastest PRO mouse to date, and it features the LIGHTSPEED sensor, Logitech’s next-generation, pro-grade wireless technology that provides even more responsive and reliable connectivity.
It was previously only available in black, pink, and white, but it is now available in red for those who want to add a splash of colour to their gaming-grade setups.
The review
Before I switched to the Logitech G Pro X Superlight, I was using a normal Microsoft wireless for my daily work and a Razer DeathAdder when (rarely nowadays) I play. Over the last few weeks, I’ve travelled a couple of times with the mouse and I’ve used it daily for everyday work tasks, as well as stress-tested it on some easy RTS games to see how tit fared.
The design of the Logitech G Pro X Superlight
First off, the design of the mouse is sleek and modern. It’s got a cool, futuristic look to it that I just love. And the best part? It’s super lightweight. I can’t even tell that I’m holding it most of the time, it’s that light.
If you’ve used the Logitech G Pro Wireless mouse (or the wired Logitech G Pro mouse), you’ll recognise the Logitech G Pro X Superlight right away. It has a nearly symmetrical black plastic chassis, a Logitech G logo in the centre of the palm rest, and very little else. There is a slight indentation on each side, but no finger rests. It’s not small for an ultralight mouse, but it’s also unadorned, which I tend to prefer for my peripherals.
The Superlight does not have any RGB lighting. While I generally prefer RGB lighting on mice, this is a wise omission because the lights add a little weight — and anyone buying an ultralight mouse is probably more concerned with functionality than with aesthetics.
Otherwise, even though there are no textured grips by default, you can add your own with the Superlight’s included stick-on grips.

Usage
This is where the Superlight really came through for me. Perhaps the biggest selling point for me was comfort. I travel a lot for work, so using my laptop on the go is pretty normal. The Logitech G Pro X Superlight is really easy to take around with, weighing less than 63g and has amazing battery life.
For gaming, it does everything it says it will. The wireless connection is lag-free and there’s no drag when making fast movements during games. However, I did notice that it took me some time to get used to the lack of resistance and smooth glide when playing, but it wasn’t a major hindrance.
Who should buy the Logitech G Pro X Superlight
Overall, I would rate this mouse a solid 8.5/10, because it delivers on what it says it does. However, the price and the relatively low functionality (really not a factor unless you’re a competitive gamer) do bring it down a few points.
If you do play games somewhat seriously or are like me, travel a lot and prefer using a mouse when you work – then the Superlight is definitely a strong choice.
