Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 DEX Review
Bottom Line
Choose the DEX if you want a light right-handed FPS mouse with excellent sensor performance, fast wireless polling, and long battery life. Skip it if you need Bluetooth, more buttons, lower price, or a smaller or left-hand shape.
Best for
Best for right-handed FPS and competitive players who want a very light ergonomic mouse with top-tier HERO 2 tracking, high wireless polling, long battery life, and strong main clicks.
Not for
Not for left-handed users, MMO players, RGB fans, Bluetooth switchers, or buyers who need many buttons, a cheaper price, or a smaller fingertip-focused shape.
Verdict
The Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 DEX earns strong reviewer support as a performance-first, right-handed ergonomic mouse. Across reviews, its HERO 2 sensor, high wireless polling, low weight, and long battery life make it feel fast and competitive, especially in FPS play. The tradeoff is that Logitech keeps the shell deliberately simple: no Bluetooth, almost no RGB, no onboard DPI button, and only a five-button layout. Shape response is also not universal. Many reviewers loved the secure palm or relaxed claw feel, while others found the high hump, side curvature, or side-button placement awkward. Its biggest repeat concerns are the price, mushy side buttons, and stock skates that some enthusiasts would replace.

-
Battery life is a major strength, usually framed around 90 to 105 hours at normal polling, with some caveats that high polling drains it faster.

-
Shape comfort is the most polarizing core attribute: many reviewers loved the right-handed ergonomic shape, while others found it too large, high, or awkward.
-
Button customization is solid through G Hub remapping, G-Shift, and profile controls, though the small five-button layout limits what can be assigned.

-
Scroll wheel quality is mixed, ranging from smooth, quiet, and controlled to mushy, loose, or less satisfying than the main clicks.

Surface compatibility is generally decent, though reviewers note best results on padded or textured surfaces and some glass-pad concerns.
-

-
Profile switching is mixed: software profiles and presets are useful, but the lack of a dedicated DPI/profile button frustrated several reviewers.
-
MOBA gaming suitability is adequate but not a headline strength; one reviewer used DOTA2 and found little dramatic difference.
-
Fingertip grip comfort is mixed to weak, with some reviewers saying the larger hump and rear mass make fingertip grip less suitable.
-

-
Premium feel is mixed: several reviewers praise the build, but at least one said the very low weight first felt less premium or budget-like.
-
Value for money is mixed to weak: reviewers like the performance but repeatedly call out the high price versus cheaper ergonomic or high-end alternatives.
-
Programmable buttons are limited by the five-button layout; remapping exists, but reviewers wanting extra inputs or MMO-style controls will find it sparse.
-
Side button quality is the most repeated hardware complaint, with reviewers citing mushiness, high placement, pre-travel, post-travel, or hard-to-hit buttons.
-
MMO gaming suitability is weak because the mouse has only a simple five-button layout despite some software presets.
