Compare Cherry M64 Pro vs Logitech G Pro 2 Lightspeed

Reviewers who discussed the radio link described the 2.4GHz connection as fast, reliable, and tied to the larger high-polling dongle experience.

Review evidence confirms the included dongle-based 2.4GHz wireless connection, with no repeated complaints about the radio link itself.

Reviewers consistently describe very high acceleration specifications and no smoothing or acceleration behavior, though one review frames those specs as more than most players need.

Tracking precision was a consistent strength: reviewers reported smooth aiming, accurate snapping, and precise response on normal gaming surfaces.

Most reviewers found tracking precise and accurate in games, while one comparison-heavy video felt less accurate because of the heavier feel and skates.

Weight balance was praised when mentioned, with reviewers calling the mouse solid, well-balanced, and free of obvious balance issues despite the low mass.

Weight balance is context-dependent: one review praised the balanced simple design, another found the 80 g weight deliberate, and one felt the skates and weight hurt balance.

Battery life is mostly good in standard or mixed polling use, but IGN found peak 8K and Pro Gaming settings could drain it far faster than the rated 90 hours.

Battery life is a clear strength, repeatedly described around 60 hours with lighting and up to roughly 95 hours without it.

Bluetooth support is a weakness because one reviewer explicitly notes that Bluetooth is absent at this price point.

Build quality is generally solid for an ultralight shell, though one reviewer found M64 side-wall flex and IGN noted only minor flexing and a slightly cheap feel.

Build quality is mostly solid, with praise for button fit and general quality, but one reviewer noted some side-to-side wobble.

Button customization is limited: reviewers found basic mapping or CPI presets, but no software-driven fine control or deeper customization.

Button customization is a standout thanks to swappable magnetic side buttons, remapping, and G Hub assignment options.

Main-button responsiveness is strong overall, with reviewers describing snappy travel, good bounce-back, and reliable actuation during gameplay.

Button responsiveness is praised where reviewed, especially for the LIGHTFORCE switches and side buttons.

The included cable was usually described as flexible or pliant, helping offset the awkward side-port layout when charging or using wired mode.

Cable impressions are mixed: one reviewer liked the long or rubberized cable, while another wished Logitech included a lighter cable for wired play.

Charging is fast enough and possible while playing, but several reviewers criticized the side USB-C port because the cable can feel awkward or drag against the hand.

Charging convenience is strong thanks to USB-C, fast top-ups, and Power Play compatibility in supported setups.

Claw comfort depends on hand size: some reviewers liked the low front and relaxed-claw support, while IGN found the small right-handed shell cramped for large hands.

Claw grip evidence is limited but positive, with reviewers saying the shape suits most grip styles and can be used in claw grip.

Click latency is supported by adjustable debounce settings, giving users several response-time presets directly on the mouse.

Click latency and response feel are strong, with multiple reviewers describing quick, immediate, responsive clicks.

Click sound is moderate rather than silent: reviewers described the main clicks as mellow or balanced, though one found them fairly loud.

Click noise is mixed: reviewers liked the crisp click feedback, but some noted clickiness or right-click ping could bother sensitive users.

Connection stability was consistently positive, with reviewers reporting no lag, stutter, hiccups, or wireless dropouts in normal use.

Connection stability is generally positive, with reviewers calling performance reliable and noting no major in-game hiccups.

Debounce customization is broad on paper, but one reviewer had ghost clicks at the lowest setting while others praised the selectable 2/4/8/12 ms options.

Dock or charging-mat compatibility is supported through Logitech Power Play puck and mat support.

The DPI/CPI range is wide, reaching 26,000, but preset-only adjustment limits fine-grained sensitivity tuning.

DPI range is consistently a major spec advantage, with several reviewers citing the HERO 2 range up to 44,000 DPI after updates or in final specs.

Durability evidence is limited but positive around the finish, with Tom's Hardware noting the coating is designed for and withstood visible wear.

Ecosystem integration is supported through G Hub, LightSync, RGB syncing, and Power Play use with other Logitech gear.

The M64's right-handed ergonomic shape was a major draw for several reviewers, especially those who liked its low front and thumb groove, though large hands may struggle.

Ergonomics are broadly praised for comfort and ambidextrous usability, with the main caveat that smaller hands may prefer another shape.

Fingertip grip drew weak support because reviewers found the M64's curvature awkward for fingertip users compared with palm or claw.

FPS suitability is strong when tracking and responsiveness matter, though the shape may favor controlled play more than universal fast-flick comfort.

FPS suitability is mostly strong because reviewers praised Counter-Strike-style tracking and esports use, but one FPS-focused reviewer preferred lighter Superlight models.

Glide quality was praised, with reviewers citing smooth movement, strong PTFE feet, and good glide across multiple ordinary surfaces.

Glide opinions are split: several reviewers found it smooth or very good, while one video disliked the slower-feeling stock skates.

Grip texture is mixed: the white coating was seen as grippier and durable, while the black coating was criticized as a fingerprint magnet.

Grip texture and coating receive light but positive coverage, mainly around the smooth matte finish and acceptable coating.

Handedness is limited because the M64 Pro is explicitly a right-handed ergonomic mouse, not an ambidextrous option.

Handedness is one of the strongest areas, with repeated praise for true ambidextrous use and swappable side-button layouts.

Left and right click quality was mostly praised for feel and reliability, with several reviewers calling the clicks snappy, satisfying, or trouble-free in gameplay.

Main click quality is good overall, but not flawless: reviewers praise crispness and tactility while noting reduced tactility versus Superlight 2 or right-click ping.

Lift-off distance can be adjusted, typically between 1 mm and 2 mm, and one reviewer specifically needed the 2 mm option on hard surfaces.

Long-session comfort is mostly positive from Tom's Hardware, but the side charging cable and large-hand fit concerns limit universal comfort.

Long-session comfort is positive where discussed, especially for bigger hands and palm grip, with reduced cramping versus smaller mice.

Macro support is supported through G Hub assignment options, though it is not a main focus of the reviews.

Materials feel mixed: the shell and UV coating are solid, but IGN felt the ultralight construction made the mouse feel somewhat cheap.

Materials quality is mostly positive, supported by the smooth matte finish, well-done magnetic attachments, and solid construction comments.

MMO suitability received only indirect support through a standard gaming sensor mode described for lower-precision MMO-style play.

MMO suitability is weak because the mouse lacks the many thumb buttons expected for more involved MMO play.

Motion consistency was a strong theme, with reviewers describing smooth, consistent movement and no obvious tracking irregularities.

Motion consistency is mostly strong, with smooth tracking, no stutter, and no smoothing mentioned, though one reviewer felt the weight and skates made motion sluggish.

On-device settings are a strength for plug-and-play users because key controls can be adjusted directly on the mouse without software.

Onboard memory is directly noted in one review and treated as a carried-over feature from the prior model.

Palm grip comfort is decent for smaller to medium hands, but several reviewers warned the shape or size can be awkward for fingertip users or large hands.

Palm grip comfort is directly praised, with the hump and length fitting the reviewer’s palm-grip hand position well.

The Pro model's 8K polling rate is widely documented and usually praised, though some reviewers said they could not always feel a meaningful difference.

Polling rate is a repeated limitation: the standard receiver is described as 1000Hz while competitors or Logitech alternatives reach higher rates.

Portability is moderate, helped by dongle storage and bag-friendly use, but limited by the absence of Bluetooth.

Premium feel is mixed: some praised the non-hollow feel, while others felt the quality and finish were not quite top-tier for the price.

Premium feel is positive but not unanimous; one reviewer calls it a premium mouse while others frame it as familiar rather than exciting.

Profile or sensor-mode switching is available directly on the mouse, with Pro Gaming, Standard, and Low Power modes mentioned.

Profile switching is supported through per-game DPI settings and multi-stage DPI profiles in G Hub, although the bottom DPI button is less convenient.

Programmable-button support is basic, mostly limited to standard game or Windows button mapping rather than rich software macros.

Programmable-button coverage is strong, with multiple reviews noting four-to-eight configurable buttons depending on side-button setup.

RGB is essentially absent, with reviewers repeatedly noting no flashy lighting or special lighting beyond an indicator LED.

RGB is present but minimal, usually limited to the Logitech G logo and often recommended off for battery life.

Scroll wheel quality is generally solid, with tactile notches, consistent scrolling, and easy movement, though one reviewer described the wheel feel as merely okay.

Scroll wheel quality is generally good, with reviewers praising the ratcheted feel and tactile wheel response.

Sensor performance is consistently strong thanks to the Pixart/Pixart 3395-class sensor, accurate tracking, and stable performance on common surfaces.

Sensor performance is a major strength, repeatedly praised for HERO 2 accuracy and high-end specs, even when value is questioned.

Shape comfort is the most divisive area: some reviewers loved the locked-in ergonomic shape, while IGN found it cramped for large hands.

Shape comfort is mostly positive for users who like the familiar symmetrical Pro shape, though one reviewer wanted lighter weight for that shape.

Side-button quality is split: some reviewers praised their size and crispness, while others found the M64's side buttons mushy.

Side-button quality is a highlight thanks to magnetic removable buttons, low wiggle, good positioning, and ambidextrous flexibility.

Software stability is mixed: one review had repeated G Hub loading failures, while another found core adjustments reliable.

Software usability is polarizing because there is no software; plug-and-play users may like it, but many reviewers found on-device controls tedious or limiting.

Software usability is mixed to positive: G Hub provides deep customization, but some reviewers dislike needing it or prefer web-based setup.

Surface compatibility is acceptable on normal plastic and wood surfaces, but glass was reported unusable.

Surface compatibility evidence is limited to strong performance on Logitech’s Power Play/charging pad rather than many surfaces.

Switch feel is generally good, with reviewers praising snappy, balanced main clicks, though one early impression found the implementation merely okay.

Switch feel is broadly positive, with LIGHTFORCE clicks described as satisfying, light, crisp, immediate, or tactile.

Value is mixed to weak: the $139 Pro version performs well, but reviewers questioned the 8K surcharge and compared it against strong software-supported competitors.

Value is the most debated category: reviewers like the mouse itself but often question the price versus the older Pro Wireless or Superlight 2.

Weight is a clear strength, with reviewers repeatedly measuring or citing roughly 54-55 grams for the Pro model.

Weight is divisive at about 80 grams: light enough for some, deliberate for others, but heavy compared with ultralight esports mice.

Wireless latency was mostly praised as lag-free, though IGN questioned whether 8K gains are noticeable to average users.

Wireless latency is strong where tested, with no noticeable latency reported and low-latency wireless play mentioned.

Wireless performance was a strength, with reviewers reporting reliable 2.4GHz operation and no obvious wireless tracking issues.

Wireless performance is generally reliable, especially through Lightspeed dongle or Power Play use, with no recurring connection complaints.
