Bottom Line

Choose the DEX if you want an ultra-light right-handed FPS mouse with excellent wireless responsiveness, sensor tracking, and battery life. Skip it if you need left-handed comfort, crisp side buttons, slick stock skates, or strong value.

Best for

Best for right-handed FPS and competitive players who want a very light wireless mouse with strong sensor performance, long battery life, and a supportive ergonomic shell. It also suits users already comfortable with Logitech G Hub and Powerplay.

Not for

Not for left-handed users, fingertip-first players with smaller hands, or anyone who needs many buttons, Bluetooth, a built-in DPI switch, or premium stock skates. Value-focused buyers may also find the price difficult to justify.

Verdict

The Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 DEX comes across as a high-performance, right-handed FPS mouse built around speed, low weight, and a more supportive ergonomic shell. Reviewers repeatedly praised its Hero 2 tracking, wireless responsiveness, battery life, sturdy build, and main clicks, and many found the new shape more comfortable than the standard Superlight style. The tradeoff is that the same minimalist esports focus leaves little room for extra controls: side buttons, stock skates, cable quality, Bluetooth absence, and DPI/profile switching drew recurring complaints. Fit also depends heavily on hand size and grip, with palm and relaxed claw users faring better than fingertip users. Its performance is excellent, but the premium price makes the compromises harder to ignore.

Pros

  • 4.5
    18 reviews strong consensus
    battery life: 4.5, 18 reviews, strong consensus

    9 reviews strong consensus
    sensor performance: 4.8, 9 reviews, strong consensus
    The Hero 2 sensor was repeatedly described as top-tier, flawless, or working perfectly, with only isolated uncertainty around real-world need for the highest specs.
  • 4.8
    9 reviews strong consensus
    button responsiveness: 4.8, 9 reviews, strong consensus
    Button responsiveness was one of the stronger areas, with many reviewers calling clicks tactile, immediate, snappy, or super responsive.

Cons

  • 2.4
    4 reviews strong consensus

  • 2.4
    4 reviews strong consensus

  • 2.3
    2 reviews limited evidence

  • 2.7
    5 reviews moderate consensus

    Profile switching was a recurring weakness because reviewers missed a physical DPI/profile button and disliked leaving games to change settings.
  • 2.5
    2 reviews limited evidence
    software stability: 2.5, 2 reviews, limited evidence
    Software stability was mixed to poor, led by a PC Gamer report of freezes, crashes, and reinstall trouble despite another reviewer finding basics usable.

FAQ

Is the Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 DEX good for FPS games?

Yes. Most reviewers found it fast, accurate, and highly suitable for shooters, especially because of its low weight, responsive wireless performance, and strong Hero 2 sensor.

Is the DEX comfortable for palm grip?

Usually yes. Reviewers often praised the right-handed ergonomic shape for palm support, though one source preferred a rival for smaller hands or palm use.

Is it good for fingertip grip?

It is less consistent for fingertip grip. Several reviewers felt the larger body and hump got in the way, while only one found fingertip use reasonably workable.

How are the side buttons?

They are the main recurring weakness. Some reviewers liked their placement, but many called them mushy, high, hard to hit, or affected by too much travel.

Does it have Bluetooth?

No. Reviewers noted that it relies on Logitech Lightspeed wireless, and several treated the lack of Bluetooth as a flexibility tradeoff for performance and weight.

Is the battery life good?

Yes. Battery life was widely praised, with multiple reviewers reporting long use between charges, although high polling rates and optical-only modes can drain it faster.
