A tour around the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2c
Logitech has created a compact version of its most popular esports mouse with the PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2c, without compromising on performance. It is 5% smaller and 10% lighter than the PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2, and weighs just 51 grams.
Designed for gamers with smaller hands or those who prefer claw, fingertip or hybrid grips, the compact shape makes it easier to control the mouse precisely and quickly, especially in fast-paced FPS situations where milliseconds count.
Under the hood, we find the HERO 2 sensor, which delivers precise tracking at up to 44,000 DPI and 888 IPS. Combined with LIGHTFORCE Hybrid Switches, you get both the fast response of optical switches and the tactile feel of mechanical clicks, a combination tailor-made for competitive gaming.
The polling rate has been increased to a whopping 8000 Hz via LIGHTSPEED Wireless, meaning extremely low input lag and lightning-fast response times, a feature that will especially excite esports players and those who play at the highest level.
The mouse glides easily across the surface thanks to zero-additive PTFE feet with rounded edges, and it's compatible with Logitech's POWERPLAY system for wireless charging while in use. The battery life is up to 95 hours, making it ideal for long, uninterrupted sessions.
Software
Just like all other Logitech gaming devices, you can customize the settings via Logitech's G Hub software.
G Hub has been around for a number of years and is generally a well-developed and well-functioning piece of software.
Central to a mouse is of course the sensitivity or DPI settings. Here Logitech has given the option to choose from a number of presets, based on different types of games. Each profile comes with DPI settings in five steps, along with the option of polling rate settings for both wireless and wired connections.
Even if you choose one of the profiles, you can still change them as you wish. It is also possible to create your own if you don't think any of the predefined ones are suitable.
On top of that, the settings can also be tied to different profiles, which can be linked to specific programs or games.
It is also possible to configure the five buttons on the mouse in the Logitech G Hub. Here, there is virtually free choice on all shelves, and you can bind everything from normal key functions to Windows or program functions or programmed macros to the buttons.
There are so many customization options that you can customize everything down to the smallest detail and set it up so that it automatically changes depending on which program or game you are using.
Test
I've been using the Logitech Pro X Superlight 2c for a little over a week for the classic mix of regular desktop use and gaming.
In my test of the regular Pro X Superlight 2, we ended up with a score of 9 and an Enthusiast Only Award. So I was really happy with the original mouse in the series and on the surface it is in many ways the same mouse, just in a smaller package.
It hasn't been a plus for me in the sense that I haven't missed a smaller alternative. That said, I will say that I haven't noticed the reduced size very much. I usually use a claw grip and here it doesn't matter that much that the mouse is now a little smaller.
The weight is of course also a bit less, but still heavier than many other super light mice on the market.
The Pro X Superlight 2c is, like its big brother, a super cool mouse. We get a mouse that is still on the light end, and which comes with a sensor that provides fast and accurate tracking.
As I've mentioned many times, the 8K Polling Rate update isn't something I can notice in my use of the mouse. If I sit and feel it, I might sense that it's a little faster, but it's not something that moves the needle on my gaming results.
So it's a feature that's more aimed at the high-end player, who already has a high skill level and now needs to have all the margins in place to be able to squeeze out the last little advantage in their games.
What matters more to my feel of the mouse are the included grip pads. Without them, I simply find the mouse surface too slippery, and my grip on the mouse is not as solid.
Fortunately, Logitech themselves are aware enough of this challenge to include good Grips Pads in the package.
Battery life is still great with up to 95 hours of use on a single charge. Of course, this depends on which polling rate you choose, as 8K will take a significant bite out of the overall battery life.
Price
At the time of writing, I can find the Logitech Pro X Superlight 2c with an online price of just under $160. This makes it one of the most expensive wireless mice on the market currently.
Conclusion
Just like in my review of the larger Pro X Superlight 2, I have no technical complaints about the mouse. It's a fantastic mouse that performs extremely well on all fronts.
The addition of 8K Polling Rate means you can now get the latest technology in Logitech's Superlight series.
However, the features and not least the price mean that this is a mouse that should really only appeal to very demanding gamers. For the average gamer, a mouse like this is overkill in terms of both features and price.
If you are in the demanding group that wants to optimize all the margins in your game to perform best in competitions, and you also want a mouse that is physically a little smaller, then the Logitech Pro X Superlight 2c might make good sense.
The conclusion ends up being a copy of the Pro X Superlight 2 mouse: We land with a final score of 9 and an Enthusiast Only Award, for a high-end gaming mouse targeted at equally high-end gamers, and which comes with a price tag that matches the High End style.
