G2 Esports Our take 226 pros still run the original — and that's the whole story
There's a line in our database that always looks like a typo: 226 pros still running the original Logitech G Pro X Superlight. That's from a mouse that launched in December 2020, on hardware that's now three generations behind — Omron mechanical switches, a HERO 25K sensor topping out at 25,600 DPI, a micro-USB charging port, a 1000Hz polling rate. The Superlight 2 has been here for years. The SUPERSTRIKE just shipped. And 226 people are not switching.
It's easy to read those numbers as nostalgia. It's not. The first-generation Superlight introduced the modern lightweight wireless flagship category — under 63 grams, the LIGHTSPEED wireless stack that made cable drag irrelevant for serious players, and the ZERØ OPPOSITION design philosophy that stripped RGB and right-side buttons to save every gram. Five years and two successors later, none of those facts have changed. The HERO 25K still tracks without smoothing, filtering, or acceleration. The Omron microswitches still click at around 65gf. The shape is identical to what 298 pros are running on the Superlight 2 right now. If you've held a Superlight 2, you've held this mouse.
The short version: the same shell the Superlight 2 uses, three generations behind in internals, and still a top-five mouse in our database. If you don't need the newer internals, this is still the move — but you give up USB-C, 8kHz, and the LIGHTFORCE/HITS click upgrades to get it.
Two honest caveats. The micro-USB port is the visible scar — every modern phone, every modern mouse, every modern keyboard has moved to USB-C; this one hasn't, and you'll feel that every time you need to charge.
And the 1000Hz polling rate is no longer the front of the pack — 8kHz wireless exists, the SUPERSTRIKE has it, the Viper V3 Pro has it, and you'll only notice if you measure, but the spec sheet gap is real.
Who it's for
- Players who want the Superlight experience without the newest internals. Same shape, three generations of proven work.
- Existing Superlight owners who haven't felt the need to upgrade — and at this point, why would you?
- Anyone with a POWERPLAY mousepad. The original Superlight was the first mouse to ship with full POWERPLAY wireless charging support; if you're already on the pad, this mouse never needs to be plugged in.
- Players who don't care about 8kHz. The latency difference between 1000Hz and 8000Hz wireless is measured in fractions of a millisecond; most pros in our database still run 1000Hz and win anyway.
Who should skip it
- Anyone who already owns a Superlight 2. This isn't an upgrade.
- Buyers who want USB-C. Get any of the three newer Logitech mice; the Superlight 2 finally adopted it in 2022.
- Players chasing 8kHz wireless. The SUPERSTRIKE and Viper V3 Pro exist for this.
Alternatives to consider
Each is a real pick, not filler — with one concrete reason to choose it over this mouse.
Same shell, modern internals (LIGHTFORCE optical switches, USB-C, 8kHz wireless option). Two grams lighter, but you stop apologizing for the charging cable.
G Pro X Superlight 2 →Same shape with HITS electromagnetic triggers. If you wanted to stay in the Logitech shell but get the click upgrade, this is the move.
G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE →Different shape (raised rear hump), 8 grams lighter, Razer optical Gen-3 switches, 8kHz wireless. If the Superlight's flat rear was always slightly off for you, the Viper shape is the historical alternative.
Viper V3 Pro →More from Logitech
FAQ
Should I buy the 2020 Superlight or the Superlight 2 in 2026?
The original is still a top-tier mouse — same shell, same HERO 25K tracking that 226 pros still run. Buy the Superlight 2 if USB-C, LIGHTFORCE switches, and optional 8kHz matter, or if the original's micro-USB port will annoy you daily. Otherwise the 2020 shell has not aged.
Why do 226 pros still run a mouse from 2020?
Nothing about the original has stopped working at a pro level. Its HERO 25K still tracks without smoothing or acceleration, LIGHTSPEED wireless is unchanged, and the shape is identical to the one 298 pros run on the Superlight 2 today. Players rarely change gear that fits — our database shows shape loyalty beats spec-sheet upgrades. The Superlight 2's advantages are comfort-of-life, not aiming.
How annoying is micro-USB on the Superlight in 2026?
It's the original's one visible scar. Every phone, mouse and keyboard you own has moved to USB-C; this one still charges through micro-USB, which is fragile and needs the right cable orientation. The saving grace: with POWERPLAY compatibility, if you own the Logitech wireless charging pad, you never plug the mouse in at all. If you don't, plan on the occasional cable hunt.
What did s1mple say about the Superlight at launch?
Logitech's 2020 launch blog quoted s1mple directly: “The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT allows me to keep playing at my peak, with zero limitations, zero compromise and most importantly, zero misses!” It was field-tested with Astralis (ESL Pro League S12 win), G2 (2020 LEC win) and DAMWON before release.
What's the difference between the G Pro Wireless and the Superlight?
The Superlight is the G Pro Wireless stripped down: same shell DNA, but 18g lighter (62g vs 80g), RGB removed, right-side buttons removed, and the ZERØ OPPOSITION philosophy applied — every non-essential gram cut. It's the GPW's ultra-lightweight evolution, launched 2020. The GPW keeps LIGHTSYNC RGB, removable side buttons, and full ambidextrous layout.
