Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2: problems, parts and running costs

Checked: 2026-10-19

Summary

The scroll wheel is the part that fails: owners report direction reversal, skipping and complete failure, and the common fixes only hold for a while. There are no consumables and no subscriptions, so the yearly running cost is effectively nothing. The mouse is a strong buy at $100–$130 and hard to justify above $160.

Common problems and fixes

Dust-related ghost clicks on the main buttons — double-clicking is reported far less often than on the original’s mechanical switches, but the optical LIGHTFORCE switches are not immune: owners still log dust-induced ghost clicks. [3]
No DPI button — changing sensitivity means opening G HUB or rebinding a button, and sellers rarely emphasize the omission. [6][7]
Stiff scroll-wheel click, no tilt or free-spin — listed as a con by RTINGS; no workaround is reported in the sources. [5]
Slippery finish with sweaty hands — some owners find the matte plastic slippery; grip tape is included in the box. [4][6][7][8]
60 g weight feels heavy against 2025 competitors — a minority complaint in owner threads, even though the shape itself is widely praised. [4][6][7]

Parts and consumables

Grip tape — optional extra included in the box. [8]

Yearly running cost

There are no consumables and no subscriptions: G HUB is free, the battery is internal and charged over USB-C, and the optional extras (8,000 Hz receiver, PowerPlay puck, replacement feet) are one-off purchases. A typical owner spends $0 a year on consumables; the only ongoing cost is the electricity used to recharge a battery rated for up to 95 hours of constant motion.

When it is a good buy

At $100–$130 the mouse is a strong value: Reddit owners report paying $106–$127 and call sub-$130 a good deal, and Tom’s Hardware listed Newegg at $129.50 with Walmart and antonline at $139.99 (2023 review). [4][7][15]
$131–$160 is good but competitive: PCMag listed Best Buy at $159.99 (2023 review), and the Logitech direct store lists $159.99 against an MSRP of $179.99 (checked 2026-10-19). [6][11]
Above $160 the value is weak for most users given the bare feature set and the scroll-wheel reports, unless 8,000 Hz polling or the esports-proven shape matters. [6][11]
Alternatives: the original G PRO X SUPERLIGHT is the better choice if you already own one — Tom’s Hardware called the 2 “probably not worth upgrading” — though it keeps micro-USB and the HERO 25K sensor [7]; the PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 SE is the better choice when you want this shape for less and do not need 8,000 Hz polling ($139.99 new or $109.99 refurbished at Logitech direct, checked 2026-10-19; it ships a 1 kHz receiver and an 88 h battery) [14][15]; the certified refurbished PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 at $114.99 with a 1-year warranty is the better budget route into this exact mouse [10]. Razer’s Viper V2 Pro and V4 Pro are the other alternatives named in the $131–$160 band. [4][6]
