LOTS OF UPDATES BELOW: For the record I bought a Pink Version because I was able to get it for $124 and returned my black version for $170. That is the ONLY reason why I got two. Both have wild variance. - Side buttons are the same. - Weight balancing feels different. With the Pink feeling less balanced. - Scroll wheel on black version is very light, with less defined steps, and mushy middle click. Pink is moderate pressure, solid steps, and great middle click. -Primary Clicks are wildly different. Black is very light and crisp. Pink is heavy and ultra crisp. Harder to spam. Which is likely why you get a lot of people saying different things about the clicks. Both are true but lottery dependent. - PTFE was very scratchy on Pink but after breaking in is much improved. But still not good compared to the rest of the competition. Also, according to BeardedBob the internal differences are as followed (kzitem.info/news/bejne/l4-ZvZN9oXODdXYsi=3T6Y2c-dqPPm5zW-): SAME: - Split skates and thickness. But different shape. - Screw positions. - Powerplay - On/off switch - Side button layout - Primary clicks but thinner 3.18 vs 3.24 grams - Scroll wheel and TTC Encoder - Outer shell (outside of USB/support bracket) but lighter 12.50 grams to 12.74 grams. - Same omron side switches. DIFFERENT: - 290 milliamp compared to 240 milliamp - Ribbon cable for battery - Wider connector - PCB (5.74 grams vs 5.36 grams) - MCU new JC121522 vs old S2833 - Base with different rivets/holes/design (7.89 grams vs 8.22 grams) - Top internal base rivets/holes/design - Switches - D2FP-FH1 (Logi) UPDATES AFTER A FEW WEEKS: 1. Clicks have loosened up even more. To the point I'd say they are equal with my OG Superlight in actuation pressure. But otherwise what I said in the review. 2. Sensor continues to feel better and better the more I use it. Still not up to the Focus+/Focus Pro. But the old GPX has been off my desk for a long time because it felt poo-poo to use. This will continue to be on my desk for some time. As the bump in performance is noticeable enough where the reasons why I didn't like the GPX (floaty feeling) cease to exists. 3. Battery life is insane. 4. PTFE feet broke in after 2 - 3 weeks. Which is insane how long that took. Where they went from incredibly scratchy to quite smooth and delightful. Who knows how long that will last though. 5. In general, this mouse almost seems to keep improving the longer I use it. Which seldom happens. And it has grown on me and I am really enjoying it and reach for it often. But still think the V2 Pro, DAV3, Viper Mini SE are better performance wise. But think the GPX 2 feels better in the hand from a build quality standpoint.

I love the GPX Superlight in particular it's shape .. so why would Logitech want to change it? You do know Logitech makes other mice. This is just an updated version and everyone who owns a GPX knows it already. I have multiple copies (V1s) that are all heavily modded including hot swappable PCBs. The micro USB is the very least of my concerns, I have an adapter that goes from micro to C and it takes a couple seconds to swap. The new optical switches break in after 1 to 2 weeks so maybe you might want to use it... However, my preferred encoder is the TTC Gold encoder .. so I'll have to desolder that and replace it once I get my copy from Colorware. I'd love to see a carbon fiber V3 of this mouse and I'm certain I would buy it as well, and I still would prefer that they leave the shape alone. I feel the exact same way about my Razer DeathAdder V1-V2 to now the WTF is V3 shape where I thought Razer had completely lost their minds! If you want a different shape then call it something different.
@ThomasMuehler

Apologies if it came across as me expecting/wanting Logitech to change the shape. I don’t and even said I’m glad that they stuck with the same legendary shape. I don’t think I’m alone in the expectation of wanting more out of Logitech and their refresh of the most popular mouse on the planet. Especially, since these updates could have just been done without adding a 2. I would argue that most people will be upgrading solely for the USB-C port and are not wanting to use an adapter. But that is a solid solution and I’ll need to pick one up for my other legacy devices. I also think that most people don’t want to mod their mouse or spend more money on a product that already costs $159. As I think you go more hardcore than most. Which isn’t me calling you out as I’m often in the same boat. Lol. While the clicks have gotten lighter, everything else I said about them is the same. And up to that point I had used them a crazy amount. With the interest in different materials, I think they would make bank doing that. Such as having a limited-edition magnesium alloy and carbon fiber one. But based on Logitech’s recent track record I don’t see them doing something so out of the box. But would love to be proved wrong about that. I get where you are coming from about if it is a different shape then call it something different. I think I’m on the fence about that one. On one side I agree with your statement. But on the other, I don’t see it as a different product, but instead a refinement of an old shape. Cars do this all the time. And in my opinion I much prefer the V3 Deathadder shape to the V2 and older shapes and from the consensus I am seeing in my comment section and online I think most people agree. With the Viper going through the same treatment now with the V3 Hyperspeed it will be interesting to see the communities reaction to that once the Pro version drops and more people try it out.

I've heard highly about both of these mice and was also planning on looking outside of Logitech for these type of light wireless mice as well. I was hoping to hear what your recommended wireless mouse is for gaming. I'm sure my budget isn't really an issue since I've got some money to burn. Thank you!
@ThomasMuehler

My favorite mouse is the Razer Viper Mini SE. I don’t recommend you buy as it is crazy expensive and if you don’t like the shape then you’re hosed. But I figure since you said “I’ve got some money to burn” I’d give you all the choices. 1. It would be a tie between the Razer Viper V2 Pro, Razer Deathadder V3 Pro, or Finalmouse Ultralight X. As they are all S-Tier (top of the line) mice and you can’t go wrong with any of them. Not saying they are all perfect. The Viper is quite flat which a lot of people don’t like (mostly claw/fingertip). Then you’ve got the Deathadder V3 Pro that is a great ergo shape. But is ergo which means mostly palm/claw. Also, if you have small hands then it may be too large even though the V3 is smaller. The Ultralight X while it is a continuous product is brand new and been dropping in waves. And takes several months to arrive. Finalmouse also tends to have a TON of QA issues. My Ultralight X is pretty good. I have some side creaking (that I could likely fix if I wanted to take off the PTFE and tighten a screw), also the shell isn’t perfectly flush (which I think more comes down to variance than an actual defect but that’s another conversation). But otherwise I don’t have any problems with it and it is super lightweight. Also, supports 4,000/8,000 Hz. 2. GPX 2 is a solid mouse but I think others are more competitive at the price point as even with the refreshed specs they are in the “high tier” category instead of the “premium tier”. With that said from an objective testing standpoint their results are still in the “premium category” from a latency standpoint. But when I’m using it compared to the others they do technically perform better in objective testing and subjectively to me. But due to the shape I feel like I have to recommend it. As it is one of the most popular gaming mice ever. Again, you can’t go wrong with this choice either. But main complaints I’m seeing from people are the scroll wheel is meh and not super reliable. For example I use it a lot in Escape From Tarkov and I can’t rely on it. Also, the click feel varies a ton and not everybody is a fan of how they feel. 3. Recently had a meeting with Asus. I haven’t tried their mice yet. But they are doing surprisingly awesome things with their peripherals and are very competitive with the best of the best. The Asus ROG Harpe has gotten a lot of positive reviews and would be worth checking out. It is on my list to try out but I haven’t had the pleasure yet. 4. I’ve heard great things about Pulsar and Lamzu. Did try the Lamzu Atlantis (Gen 1) and for the price is a good mouse. I find the firmware (latency) for my Lamzu isnt at the same level as the ones listed above. With all that said I stopped looking at other gaming mice when Razer dropped their latest line (Viper V2 Pro, Cobra Pro, Deathadder V3 Pro, etc.) As every single one of them has been a banger in my opinion. As they come with the best tech on the market (that I’m aware of) and just nailed holistically the feel (solid shape, great primary clicks, side clicks, scroll wheel, PTFE, coating, etc.) that I feel like they are the current leader and I’m not interested in looking at other mice as they have me perfectly satisfied. Also, they have a ton of different options for people so they can find what they are looking for. For example the ones that I mentioned are mostly for FPS (not that they can’t or don’t perform excellently in every other genre). But I use the Basilisk V3 Pro for doing normal work/surfing. Cobra Pro is a cheaper Viper Mini but comes with all the bells and whistles and is a bit heavier due to that. The Viper Mini SE is the best mouse I’ve ever used and I’m a fool who will spend a stupid amount of money for it (also continuous release but with it’s popularity sells out quickly, don’t buy third party).

@@nuzzky Unfortunately, I tend to focus on the top-end mice. So, I don't have a lot of knowledge to pull from when it comes to budget mice. I think all of the Razer "pro line" of mice have been optical for a long time. They have slowly improved in time with each generation. If you were to buy an OG Viper or the Viper V2 Pro you could probably get it quite cheap ($60 - $80). Or if you wait for a sale you could probably get one of their modern flagships (I think the Viper V3 Pro is the best mouse on the market right now) for an acceptable price. But probably more than you would want. As I'd imagine closer to the 100 if on a great sale but closer to 120 - 130 mark. Neither are "budget" category. All the other mice that I can think of off the top of my head are either not very good, use mechanical, or have strange shapes. And again "budget" mice are my specialty.

I think it really depends on how hardcore of a gamer you are. 1. If you are a causal player. By that I mean you aren't trying to be in the top 1% of aimers, aren't trying to reach the very top of gaming charts, in general may play competitive games but for the enjoyment of those games and enjoy ranking up even if you are in the top percentiles. Like say Gold or Platinum. But also play a bunch of other games. And in general spend more time on your computer using it as a computer over gaming. Then the difference between the two is not worth the price difference. 2. Again, if you are causal but also one of those people who like to future proof everything you buy. Or in general like to have the "best of the best" then buying the upgraded variant is worth it. 3. If you are a try hard competitive gamer and/or like to be on the cutting edge. Or have a specific thing you dislike about the old mouse (Micro-USB or Mechanical switches) then you should buy the upgraded one.

Hopefully, someone else will come along and give you a better answer. As I'm not a good one to ask, as I tend to not focus too much on PTFE feet, or swap them from the originals all that often. With that disclaimer out of the way. Mice feet are pretty personal and how they pair to your mouse mat style to provide your preference of control, speed, and I'm sure there are others. The ones that I bought are the Suplerglide 2 from Pulsar glass skates. Here's a link which by the way is an amazon associates link where I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Feel free to NOT use that link. amzn.to/3v4UPHc I like the Superglide's a lot as they are more of a smooth/fast glide on my Glorious XXL mousepad as they are glass. Which I think is more of a hybrid or control pad.

@ThomasMuehler
Ай бұрын
Good question. I get A LOT of comments on how their Logitech mice have developed double clicks. It is always a risk of mechanical switches. Also, geographical/climate are contributing factors making it better/worse. If you have concerns with that I would recommend going with the new one since it has hybrid optical switches where that shouldn't happen. Personally, I prefer optical switches. As won't develop double clicks and are faster. But tend to be louder and not feel as crisp as less moving parts (which is what makes them more robust). So there are trades. But I'm willing to take those trades for the benefits but that varies from person to person. I think it also depends on the price difference. Where if you can buy two of OG Superlight for 1 of the Superlight 2. I think they come with a 2 year warranty. Double clicks would be covered under warranty (assuming you live somewhere that accepts the warranty). That would give you four years of coverage for the same price. But the GPX 2 also has slightly better specs which may also help with your decision making. But again, this is all personal opinion with your own pros/cons list.

As I don't pay too much attention to that. I will say that there better scroll wheel encoders than others. As some of them will come with a IPX rating which prevents dust, debris, and corrosion from taking place and allows it to last longer. Either from a spray or from the build quality itself. Logitech has been using kind of cheap materials in their mice previously. I'm not sure if this transferred over to the GPX 2 (as again Bearded Bob watching both the GPW, GPX, and GPX 2 teardown would probably give you better info. Along with some of the other top mice and seeing if they are using similar encoders).

This is why, being a former user of logitech mice (G and MX series) as soon as CS got serious after being bought by valve, I value less and less logitech. I think I've said in previous comments that prices were high with tech advances not following the market prices for gaming mice, so I switched to razer buying an outdated mouse - that I still like a lot, the mamba wireless. And what we've got here are minor changes with few consumer gains at the same price level. my viper 2 pro was a big step in helping me improving my gaming experience, as the tech was suberb and not only the tech. Same with the dav3 pro, which for my use is still an upgrade of the v2p. Heck, even the "problematic" cobra performs very well for me (I would ditch the docking charging, rgb, and most likely the rubber grips pre installed on the sides, but there's a lot of discussion about this topic and I just sum up my opinion by stating razer was not available to invest in r&d for 2 similar mice, a "v2pro mini" for real pros - no rgb, docking, etc - and a "v2pro mini" for hardcore fans of docking systems and battery consuming rgb, both adding weight to the mouse. It was a compromise to please all and failled to do it cause it just pleases partially all of the two distinct universe of users), it's small but a bit more weight in this case helps to better manouver the mouse (imo) and the tech gap (mainly sensor with normalized 4khz with hyperpolling regarding cordless mice) when compared to other versions. I'm not that young no more so wrist comfort is a major factor of decision. I can play a game in a day with the dav3p, changing to the v2p, and also changing to the cobra to reduce grip fatigue - and it works just fine as both mice don't really overperfom and I'm used to the three at this point. my wrists thank me. Looking at logitech line right now, the same with zowies and corsair, etc, I can't see I would be able to spare my wrist from fatigue as there are not top mice with sensors like the ones in the last 3 razer mice I mentioned and their built form apply very well to my medium sized hands (yes, I have a favourite and that would be the dav3p, although I agree is not shapped for all people, as many are use for so many years to the shame shape, following the saying "if its not broken don't fix it". unfortunately such mentality also prevents innovation too many times, betting more on the certainty of the income of a certain model rather than in users better experience. There's no chance here taken by most big brands. Razer with the dav3p suprised everybody and a mouse firstly hated by some become more and more loved with time. Well, this are just my 2 cents, very concise and not very directed too such diversity in gaming mice nowadays, and there are companies stagnating there are also others doing a pretty good job and others even an outsanding one (here kudos to Vaxee, ex zowie employees tired of the same everyday and that were able to innovate and also, at least a bit, obligated Zowie to rethink the "dead waters" strategy, something that others are also doing like logitech as very well explained in this very entertaining, realist and honest video. So kudos also for Thomas for bringing us tireless new pearls at a production speed that is good to see, mainly because it does not affect at all the high quality of the videos. Cheers.

Completely agree that Logitech’s price trend keeps going up with the tech advantages not following suit. Also, agree on the Viper V2 Pro, DAV3, and I think you nailed the Cobra as well. It’s a solid mouse. But isn’t exactly what either group wants. All of them should technically perform the same. With the only differences being weight and shape. Totally agree on the “if it isn’t broken don’t fix it” leading to lack of innovation. I’m always a fan of trying something new and seeing how it comes out. But also, know not as many people like to be on the cutting edge. Also, agree that lately, a lot of the big brands, not just in mice, but in general have been playing it rather safe. With minimal upgrades. Which is a shame. But perhaps a by product of the times we are in. Another great point. Where there are other companies that are picking up the slack from the big guys. And I’m always a fan of the under dog winning. And like you Said Vaxee and plenty of other smallter brands are making excellent mice. Such as Lamzu. And honestly, I prefer a bunch of small guys battling it out. Instead of just two huge ones.

Last time I used one was the Logitech Laser MX-700 (with a charging dock and 1 AA battery) and I also had both the MX-1000 and later the MX-1100, which if I recall right already had their own rechargeable Lithium/ion battery. I think the MX-510(?), MX-518 (built in gaming mice, even if mx series) was corded and also some of the old G series I had, like 2 G5 (one blue, other gray), G9 and guess that's it; all pre historic by current days standards. Question is do you think to make a video on it, but more than that, do you think we'll see such shape in a, let's say, viper v3 pro? If so will they change the "carcass" only or will razer improved the already mad sensor 30k dpi? I'd very much like your opinion on the topic, if you have time and interest (just an add up to my original post, maybe unexpected even to me, the best performance I've been achieving on CS:GO at present time - I did it just to compare how I'd perform with the viper v2 pro, dav3p, and the cobra "pro" - is, by a comfortable margin, the cobra in 8khz in a 240hz refresh rate screen and raw mouse input in the game; as sensorwise their all kind of brothers, it can only be because of shape, size and/or (more) weight; I refuse to expend here in Europe almost 300€ for a v2 mini signature version and I also don't like it's open shape cause I don't want those prints on my hands :) and because it's a nuisance to clean - and 300€ it's the sum of the vv2pro with the dav3p combined or any of this combined with the new viper mini, the cobra. Hope to hear your opinion soon if the subject interests you. Cheers.

@@Maddog-xc2zv I got the same thing! Am also enthusiastic about the new shape and hesitant about the AA battery. However, at $70 and it being their “HyperSpeed” aka Budget line it makes sense to me and I’m not too bothered. And first impression (of not trying the mouse and just seeing the marketing) I think is great bang for your buck and as a budget mouse will be a serious contender for many. I got a bit too excited so ordered one yesterday. I will be doing a video on it. Perhaps multiple depending on a few different factors. Yes, I do think we will see the same shape in the Viper V3 Pro. I’d be very surprised if we didn’t. As I think the old Viper shape has reached its final form with the Viper Ultimate and Viper V2 Pro. Great question on do I think they will change the “carcass” only or also the internals. My assumption/guess. Is that we will see the new shape on the V3 Pro which will be the biggest change. They’ll likely say “Gen 4 Optical Switches” even though they are essentially the same as the Gen 1 switches, just with tighter tolerances and is mostly marketing of showing something “new and shiny”. And honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if they came out with a new Hybrid switch like Logitech (where it is an optical switch with mechanical components for that feel) and think that would be the most likely change outside of shape. I can’t see them moving to an even better sensor. Especially, since the Focus Pro is currently at a significant lead. I think even if they had the tech they’d hold onto it until new competition arises. But who knows on that one? But highly suspect that the V3 Pro will have the same wireless tech as found in the Viper Mini SE and it will unlock 8,000 Hz (compared to the current 4,000 Hz) with the previous dongles (hopefully) and won’t require a new one. Otherwise would be the same from a battery, side button, scroll wheel, PTFE feet, charging port, etc. So to summarize, different shape, increase polling rate from 4,000 Hz to 8,000 Hz, and perhaps a new primary switch. Weight reduction is also a possibility. But I think unlikely or to be negligible. Also, all this is 100% my opinion as I haven’t seen anything to confirm/deny anything. So could be completely wrong. Also, interesting that you find improved performance with the Cobra Pro over the DAV3 and V2 Pro. But also, not all that unexpected. As I do think shape/size is more important than weight. As I find the goldilocks range for weight to be between 60 - 80 grams for most people. Where anything more/less tends to be more subjective and can either lead to either an increase OR decrease in performance. I haven’t tried the Cobra Pro still. As money is extremely tight right now and with me having the Mini SE (along with some other mice with similar shapes) I can’t justify it. But would make the same argument of if you like the Cobra Pro and don’t have issues with the subjective short givings that buying a mouse for 300 euros is silly when it is essentially the same thing, just different material, and weight.

It's not meant to be a must-buy replacement and it creates the added benefit of reduce price on the older model which is probably 90% as good if you want to save money.

You make a good point. That I agree with. Normally, your position would be the exact position I would take. For example MacBook's year to year. However, with this particular product I was expecting more. Mostly, because it has been years since the last update. This is the single greatest gaming mouse that has probably ever released (from a success and wide use standpoint). And that they have fallen dramatically behind compared to the competition. Not sure if you follow golf. But Tiger Woods was incredible in his prime. Just destroying the competition. Then he got injured and other stuff happened. His performance dropped. Others took his place. Then he came back and people wanted him to take that top spot again. The same thing with the Logitech G Pro Superlight. Great (OG release) -> very good (after time) -> very good (GPX2) when I think people wanted great.

@trancer256 I'll be doing a review on the Harpe. So, if you are subscribed that would help remind you. And I’ll try and remember to do a comparison either in the video or after that. But I'm going into a new chapter in life that is going to be exceedingly busy so I just don't trust myself to not have things fall between the cracks unintentionally. Just from what I know about the Harpe (speculation) and my experience with the G Pro. My guess is that the Harpe is going to be better holistically as the features appear to be better. As there is a lot of neat tech there. They both have a type of "tensioning system" for consistent clicks. However, the Harpe is using gold contact points which are more resistant to corrosion. Whereas Logitech’s are cheaper which are more prone to corrosion and one reason why they develop double clicks. Unless if you are talking about the GPX2 which still has a mechanical component that I'm not sure what components they are using outside of it being optical which is more robust than mechanical. In that same vein if you were to develop double clicks with the Harpe since they are hot swappable you could just buy a new switch. Or if you wanted try different switches to see how they feel. Which is neat. Haven’t tried the sensor. But my guess is that it is better. But again, that is pure speculation. And probably doesn’t matter all that much. I know spec wise (DPI, etc) I think it is better. But to me that isn’t as important as latency, resolution accuracy, etc. With Asus also doing monitors, graphics cards, etc. I would expect them to do a better job at latency. As they understand all of that and how it relates to a gaming system. Not saying that Logitech is a slouch in this department either though. Technically the GPX 2 has 2,000 Hz. Which could make a difference. But latency is latency. And just because a mouse has a higher polling rate doesn’t mean it performs better than one at a lower one. As there is a lot in the chain that effects that. But enough of that rabbit hole. Shape I think is going to go to Logitech. Just in general. As the GPX is probably one of the most “safe” but successful shapes in mice history. Which is one of the main reasons why this mouse is so popular. Which brings us into the conversation of Shape, size, weight being critical in the decision-making process (as most mice are going to perform essentially the same from a technical standpoint these days). A mouse can have not as good of specs and feel (clicks, side buttons, feet, etc.) but if you perform better because the shape is ideal for you it may be the winner. I think the size and weight are going to be similar here as well. I would imagine the Harpe is a bit longer and made more for palm/claw. Where the GPX can do all three depending on hand size. I think the Logitech is plastic where Harpe has more unique hybrid something. Which makes it a bit more neat by just being different. May also help in build quality and longevity. But again, I don’t know anything about the hybrid thing yet. As I haven’t researched it much. PTFE. Heard that Asus did some testing to see which glided the best. Not sure if that was for the Harpe or another mouse. In general the PTFE on both the GPX and GPX2 are trash and should be replaced with third party. Which is additional cost. Also, can cause tracking issues if the sensor isn’t doing a good job at adjusting for the new PTFE. At least on the GPX2 you can select small/medium/high. Can’t mention software, side buttons, click feel, battery life, charging, USB-C?, I think the Asus also has RGB? So, all that to say. To me performance is my #1 metric. Followed by holistic feel/features. I would take what you are specifically looking for in a mouse and see which one checks more boxes. Also, one thing I like to do is grab a coin. Heads you keep GPX, tails you keep Harpe (not saying you are getting rid of them just as a test). Flip it and cover it before you know the answer. Think to yourself which one do I want it to be more? There is your answer.

@@ZachW.D Part of you not being able to aim without the sniper button could be your look sensitivity in general is too fast. You can research "ideal DPI for FPS gaming" or something and it will give you a good overview. Also, with the weight of the G502 it can be hard too. Having a lighter mouse should help with that too. Polling rate basically, just makes your mouse more responsive by lowering latency. So instead of like 1 ms of delay it is like 0.125 ms. Or something like that. Which helps mostly in the very fine movements of your aim. So if you go for a headshot, you have a small area, at 1,000 Hz your mouse may skip say 3 - 4 pixels before you see it update, making you miss your shot, whereas, at 8,000 Hz you can see 1 - 2 pixel change making it easier to hit the shot. Does that actually relate to real world. Debatable. I think it does make a difference though. I do have a video where I explain that more in-depth too if you're interested.

Also, Viper V2 Pro, Deathadder V3 Pro, and Viper Mini SE are all better in nearly every category while costing less (except for the SE). The Finalmouse Ultralight X may be a top contender (if their BullSh*t marketing actually proves to be true, which would be rare and shocking). The Viper V3 Hyperspeed is very good for $70. But has some negatives such as using a normal battery and front end sensor. Cobra is also great. This makes me sound like a Razer fan boy. But they have the best tech on the market right now and have released multiple products with their high end specs which is why I bring them up a lot. But the other brands I mentioned have a lot of good mice too I just don't know their names as well off the top of my head as I haven't tried them. But have heard a lot of buzz around them. Have tried Lamzu Atlantis and you can check my review for my thoughts on them. Which isn't to say this is a bad mouse by any means. I love it, it has really grown on me, and I will continue to use it and it will stay on my desk for the forseeable future (whereas the GPX had not been on my desk for some time now).

I don’t think my original reply went through. So round 2. It really comes down to personal preference. The 2nd one is better. Technically. I enjoy it a lot more. If you go to Logitech’s Website and use a creator code (like Shroud) or another creator you want to support that has a relationship with Logitech it will give you a discount. making it less than $60 difference. Which may make it easier. But technically, you could use the same code on the GPX (if on sale on their website). So, really still a wash. If you are an average player and/or a casual player that isn’t striving to always improve and go for those top ranks then the performance increase from the 1 to the 2 will likely be lost on you and saving the money will be better. If you are highly competitive and always pushing yourself to be at the top of the leaderboards then you may see an improvement in scores with the 2 making the upgrade worth the price increase. As I find the sensor, optical switches, and 2,000 Hz to give me an improvement over the 1. Where the 1 left my desk a long time ago. But I find myself using the 2 semi often just because it feels good and the performance is close enough to my other top mice I’m okay with the trade of losing some performance for comfort and something different. Like I’m happy I got the 2 and would make that choice again. But I’m also a moron who likes to have the latest and greatest and is willing to be extra stupid and buy something that gives me a incremental upgrade that I then make the excuse of “I have a KZitem channel” so that’s why I do it. When really that’s just a cover to help sell my poor investment choices. Which I’m only half kidding about. lol. The 1 definitely takes the cake for the best performance to value. As it does 90% of what the 2 does. I forgot about the USB-C charging which depending on user could be huge and worth it by itself. You can’t go wrong with either one.

@@blakeolson2036 Razer's sensors have been better since the Razer 5G sensor (OG Wired Viper) -> Focus+ (on the Viper Ultimate and flagship mice prior to new generation) -> Focus Pro (their latest flagship sensor). Unsure what is causing the sensor to feel subpar to you. And I'm NOT doubting your findings. I'd imagine. A. You maybe got a dud? Think this is unlikely. B. That you prefer the shape, size, and/or weight of the HERO mouse you have over the Viper and therefore perform better with it. Which is what I think is most likely. That (B) tends to be the main driving force behind "Shape, size, weight" is king. As sensors are so good these days that so many of them have the same exact specs (with a few exceptions such as the Focus+ and Focus Pro) that you usually can't tell a difference between them or they are so negligible that shape, size, weight tends to counteract any "deficiency". Also, I think to a certain extent you need to have a certain level of aim, gear (high refresh monitor, good gaming rig that has fully minimized latency, etc.), and natural tendency to be highly sensitive to latency along with a bunch of A-B testing looking for differences/flaws to really tell a difference. And we are absolutely at diminishing returns where for non min/maxers it isn't important. Jerryriganything said something in one of his videos that I think sums this up. Talking about Apple's ProMotion and said if you don't know what that means it probably doesn't matter. And I think that sums up sensors. If you aren't into splitting hairs it probably isn't worth stressing about.

Looking at the way you present the mouse in your introduction and also your final thoughts (something I tend to focus on initially when looking at a review) you are making it very clear that you haven't noticed any noticeable differences apart from some changes in the hardware. And that strikes me, because the difference in actual in-game use is really huge to me. If somebody reviews a mouse, I expect that somebody notices those kind of a important differences. If not, I really have my doubts about the quality of the review, and that's what I'm saying here. And you're not only one I have to say, it seems to me everybody is rushing out to be first one to say something about this highly anticipated mouse, without actually having used it properly. To me the v2 is not a small update at all. The biggest and clearest update being the sensor. It might not seem to be a big of an update if you look at the specs, but the new sensor is much better in actual usage. And then you can debate on 'much', since the sensor was already really good, but if you are serious about your mouse (and people watching this are, I assume), the difference is huge. The improved responsiveness is really serious, there is hardly any lag anymore, making it to a far more smooth experience, with more secure movement and less adjustments as a result. I can keep better focus on everything around me in fast moving action. I never realized there was that much leg in the v1 causing this, until I used the v2 to compare. Whether it is the 2000hz polling rate, the new sensor, or both together, I don't know. But once I have used the v2, I don't want to go back to the v1 anymore. And yes, they kept a lot the same, but for a very good reason if you ask me. It's not one of the best sellers ever without a reason. It's not only marketing, it's because lots of people like it the way it is, why change a winning team right, except for technical improvements that matter. Maybe results may vary between hardware, that is something I can't control, but for reference: I use fast m.2 SSD's, AMD 5800x3d with a RTX 4090.

I appreciate your candor and you taking the time to fully reply. Seriously. We clearly disagree on the big step ahead. But I will admit that part of that could be my own personal bias and your own. And part of that could also be the differences of me trying a lot of other mice outside of the G Pro X Superlight and G Pro X Superlight 2 (which is why I think a lot of other reviewers are coming down with similar findings as me over a rushing to get videos out. Which I’m not saying isn’t also playing a part). For example, the Razer Viper V2 Pro, Deathadder V3 Pro, and Viper Mini SE all absolutely demolish the HERO 2 sensor in every aspect both subjectively and objectively (along with overall latency). Perhaps incorrectly (and I’m trying not to) I’m expecting at least that level of performance (if not more) from the other titan of the industry, that came out AFTER those mice. Since it doesn’t feel that way, I’m left disappointed, and I think it is coloring my opinion. I do feel a difference between the HERO 1 vs the HERO 2 that is immediate. I agree it feels more responsive and less lag filled (which as I mentioned I think in this video but perhaps the previous video) was my biggest issues with the OG Superlight. However, it still doesn’t compete with the 3395, Focus+, or Focus Pro sensors which are found in a plethora of mice between $99 - $150. Which brings up the next subject of as a reviewer should I be recommending a mouse that underperforms (sensor and polling rate) compared to the competition for at $10 more? I 100% agree with your statement of someone reviewing a mouse, if they can’t notice a difference, what quality of video/review are they delivering. In fact, that is one of the main reasons why I made this channel, is the disappointment I kept getting when watching reviews. And it saddens me that was your take and I do take that seriously. But another real question is I wonder if your previous OG Superlight was slightly defective if you are noticing that big of a difference (or perhaps the new robust wireless is performing better so you have less interference)? Or if since subjectively (for whatever case) you are performing a lot better with it that is coloring your opinion of other reviews when you may be the exception of how this mouse feels? Or again perhaps my experience is being colored by this underperforming compared to most mice these days, and therefore even if there is a difference it continues to be behind, so I null and void it. I know this was a comparison between the OG Superlight and the Superlight 2 not other mice. I tried my best to not let other mice influence me during this video. Which is why I was using my Aimlabs scores along with the Objective findings from HausGaming. As despite me feeling a difference the transfer to real world seemed negligible to me. Along with the other testing I did. But this is also why I haven’t released my actual review on it yet. As I wanted to test it more before giving my full opinion on it. For the record I spent most of Thursday, Friday evening, all day Saturday and Sunday using this mouse and comparing it to the OG Superlight in a plethora of different games and scenarios. And again, I feel a difference between the two in multiple aspects. But they are small differences. Personally, I agree that I would take this mouse over the old one every time. But I’m also someone who loves the cutting edge and future proofing as much as possible. But if my friend that barely plays games, already thinks >$100 mice are excessive and ridiculous can I ask them to spend another $60 when for them they could probably get the same exact experience (due to skill, monitors, computer, etc.) by saving $30 or more? Yes, a lot of high-level gamers are looking at this mouse. But I’d argue that unless if they LOVE the shape, there are better options. A ton of mid to low level gamers also buy this mouse. Which again leads me to the previous question. And now you see my conundrum. Of I can’t just give a blanket statement of yes, it is better and therefore buy it. But instead have to weigh multiple factors. Last not disagreeing that there is a reason why this is an extremely popular mouse and one of the best selling mice of all time. But that is another reason why I (along with a lot of others) were expecting a bigger hardware bump. Especially, after 3 - 4 years (as the internal tech has been here for a while even if the OG Superlight came out after). Hardware for me is going to be similar to yours and not cause an issue. SN850x SSD, Intel I7-13700F, 4090, 144 Hz and 240 Hz screens. Also, tried on other PCs with differing specs as well. @@hreker7563

@@ThomasMuehler Sorry for the late reply, I have been quite busy. Again, I appreciate you for taking the time and effort to respond so extensively. And therefore you triggered me. I did go through a few more of your reviews and started to appreciate your input. And that's why I order a Deathadder v3 yesterday... :) And boy oh boy, I have to stand corrected.... I now understand what you mean. The Deathadder v3 is miles ahead of the Superlight, both 1 and 2. I just didn't have the right reference to understand your view. Being used to the Superlight v1 for so long did make the jump to a v2 a nice upgrade. But once I have spend just 2 hours with the Deathadder v3, going back to the Superlight v2 feels like going back in time, so slow, so laggy, there is no way back. And as a bonus, the Deathadder v3 suits my large hands much better, my hands fold nicely around the mouse in the palm grip, feels really comfortable. And the v3 even feels lighter then the Superlight 2, even though on paper it's a few gram heavier. Probably due to better weight distribution or something (less front heavy I think). And this is all still on 1000Hz. I did order the 4k dongle as well, will hopefully come in soon. Not sure if that's going to improve much, but now I'm really curious. Do you use this dongle, or have you used it? And if so, what is your on opinion on the high polling rates?

@@hreker7563 No need to apologize. I'm just glad you got back to me. Also, I'm glad that you tried out the Deathadder V3 so you can better understand where I'm coming from. And more importantly, so you can feel the badassery of the DAV3 and have found a mouse that fits your hand better. I'm excited for you! As for the 4,000 Hz polling. Yes, I use that dongle. As for improvement? That's a hard question to answer. To start off, the recommendation is a minimum of 1600 DPI (which is what I use) with a recommended 3200 DPI (but I couldn't get my look sensitivity in all my games to be ok so decreased to 1600 DPI. As I play a lot of single player games as well which tend to be highly limited in how much you can adjust aim sensitivity) to fully saturate the lane and actually see an improvement. The most common DPI is 400 and 800 DPI. Which is not enough to saturate those lanes enough to notice a difference. Which is why I think most people don't feel a difference and think it is a gimmick/negligible. Also, I think it comes down to skill, computer, monitor, game, DPI. I feel a difference as things are smoother and latency is further improved. I mostly feel it in two areas. 1. Tracking. 2. Pixel adjustments and just being on point (meaning say I'm going for a headshot and adjust to hit their eye instead is easier. And that I tend to just be on the head not needing to micro adjust in the first place). The higher FPS I have the more I feel it too. Also, have noticed that if my form isn't good I can see my cursor move (where at a lower polling rate it wouldn't) which can be a double edged sword. As I find that improved responsiveness to give me better aim in game. But there are a lot of people who actually prefer 500 Hz because it gets rid of "their jitter". With all that said, I haven't noticed a big difference in my objective scores in Aimlabs (especially flicks) except for tracking as I spend more time on my target, less time off the target, and improved reaction time (in general). But subjectively in normal gaming, I find me hitting shots a lot faster as I don't have to micro adjust as often as my cursor just tends to be spot on and almost "stick" to targets when moving. And that it is easier and takes less effort to hit the hard shots. Even if objectively I'm not necessarily hitting them more often. But I think milage will vary a lot here (for multiple reasons as mentioned). And isn't something like the Focus Pro sensor. Where I think everyone will immediately feel a difference between it and nearly all other sensors on the market. So, yes I like higher polling rates, yes I use them all the time, no I don't want to go back to not using them, but I'm not sold that they are for everyone, and is more of a nice to have over a must have (due to limiting factors). The hit to battery life is real. I tend to have two profiles (one at 1,000 Hz and another at 4,000/8,000 Hz) so I can save battery during normal browsing but have full performance when gaming. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the higher polling rates once you get it in and try it out.

If you are hardcore into having the latest and greatest. If you are someone who prefers to future proof. If you are into USB-C. If you don't want switches that could develop a double click. Personally, I'd go with the GPX2. As I think there is enough to justify the increase in price. Especially, if that difference is only $30. But it were a bit greater than that then it would make it harder.

No, I haven’t had a double click occur on my GPX or GPW. The GPX 2 has optical switches so theoretically can’t get double clicks. I say theoretically as it has mechanical parts as they are more of a “hybrid” switch. The occurrence of double clicks appears to have decreased with the new switch implementation and is back into the normal “defective” range from what I’ve seen (which is limited). But double clicks are a defect, but can occur on any mechanical switch. May also occur based on a lot of other things that can make the defect more likely to occur (humidity, cleanliness, type of switch, etc.)

I've found the occurrence of double clicks varies quite a bit. Where some people never develop them. Where others do all the time. Interestingly enough geographic location does make an impact on the switches. Which may be playing a main part in your situation with so many mice failing. Usually, having an environment with low humidity and dust decreases occurrence. And probably some other things I've forgotten. I've bought a ton of gaming mice and never had double clicking. Or chatter on a keyboard. So again, I really do think it is an environmental thing. You're someone who should definitely look into optical switches over mechanical. @@zanaros2606

(I use middle mouse button alot (:)

I wish I could give you a more concrete answer. I'm hesitant. As I have now tried 2 Superlight 2's (pricing issue that I won't get into). I'm also EXTREMELY early in the testing process. Making it so these thoughts/findings may change. But I've found significant variance between my two models. Limiting it to just the scroll wheel, my first black one was extremely light, meh-distinct steps, and mushy not super accurate middle click (almost borderline defective maybe). Which is the one I was talking about in this review. Got a pink version yesterday. And the scroll wheel is tighter (but not as tight as the OG Superlight) more distinct steps (just right in my opinion) with a solid middle click (much better than my black Superlight 2, lighter pressure, which is more satisfying/accurate to me, but otherwise same as my OG Superlight). It almost seems like my black Superlight 2 is similar to your issue. Where I would worry about possible unresponsiveness after some time has gone by. But the pink Superlight 2 seems peachy. But I've also never had a defective scroll wheel (outside of from Finalmouse, which is borderline of I don't think I can justify an RMA, but isn't normal either). And while I use it all time to open links, close tabs, I rarely use it in games. But am trying to utilize it more.

Do you have the scrolling problem too? Mine got it, it occasionally kick back the scroll direction, maybe due to dust or maybe the scroll design flaw for less wieght. Never have this with my MX master or my good old G700 infinity scroll.

Not sure who you were asking. But my two cents. My black version had issues. My Pink version does not and does just fine. But with it being so light can be a bit difficult to be fully accurate as it is easy to over or under scroll. In comparison to my Viper V2 Pro which has a lot stiffer wheel.@@speed256x

Hey Thomas, I thought I heard you mention something about the hero sensor feeling floaty to you and that the hero 2 is no different? Can you please expand on that? I’m asking because I used to think the same thing for a very long time, especially when I try faster flicks. But now I really swear by hero. I mean I’m more confident with it overall, even though I do perform better on precise long ranged tracking with the da v3 pro. But it’s this difference that’s odd to me- I cannot objectively find any fault with the hero vs 3395. Mouse tester graphs are almost the, same, just a bit more variance with hero wireless count scatter. So let me know why you think the hero feels floaty because you’re the only other person I know who felt this way apart from me.
@ThomasMuehler

I wrote a book. I’m sorry. I tried to shorten it. But failed. I added titles so you can skip around. Lol Great question. I continue to find the HERO sensor to feel icky. I find the HERO 2 to feel a lot better. But still significantly behind the Focus+/Focus Pro. And I specifically, mean those two sensors from Razer with their firmware/software. As the hardware implementation paired with software/firmware makes a big difference. BEFORE GETTING IN GAME: I have a hard time quantifying how big of a difference I feel between the HERO and HERO 2 as I was expecting (from the other Titan of the industry) equal if not better performance than their main competitor. But since it is performing worse I mark it up as being irrelevant (not really, that is a bit of hyperbole, but gets my point across). So, I think that colors my opinion on it as well. Where perhaps I'm being more judgmental on it. So, if I disliked the HERO, the HERO 2 isn’t better than the Focus Pro, then why care about it? Granted the more I use the GPX 2 the more I like it. But I'd argue the difference between the Focus+ and Focus Pro is hard to fully feel as well. But I think is easier to feel (whether it be placebo or not) as you can see a bigger jump in specs along with software differences that make it feel more worthy. For example, the HERO/HERO 2 you get more DPI, 2,000 hz, and low/medium/high LOD, and the rest of the specs (that I think matter more) are either not mentioned (such as resolution accuracy which was 98% on the HERO) or minimal upgrades (400 -> 500 IPS). None of which is unique at this point in the game. Whereas, with the Focus+/Pro I see higher DPI, higher resolution accuracy, higher IPS, and higher G's. Plus has other features such as motion sync, asymmetric cut-off, and something else (that I'm failing to pull off the top of my head). Along with in the software (with the separate dongle) I see 4,000 Hz, higher DPI, and in the Lift-Off/Landing I see two bars that have a ton more customization options. Which has helped a lot when I was doing a mod on another mouse and the sensor wasn't tracking at lower LOD due to sensor being higher up in the shell. But due to the highly adjustable LOD I was able to dial that in to still have very low LOD with full performance. Which would have been impossible with the HERO/HERO 2 (or at least to be as exact, think the story of Goldilocks). OBJECTIVE MEASURES COLORING OPINION: Okay, so what does this all have to do with feel? I have objective measures (before even getting in game) of seeing a difference between the two. Which already leaves a good impression in my mind and makes me go in expecting more from one of the sensors (Focus Pro) over the HERO 2. I try to stay as objective as I can still. But would argue that the HERO 2 may have a better shot since I am going in with low expectations if it performs excellently it should be an easy win. Whereas, with the Focus Pro I am expecting perfection and anything else will disappoint me. But both lived up to expectations. Which I’ll go more into in a bit. Additionally, based on graphs from people who have way cooler tech than me, the overall latency of Razer mice compared to Logitech mice are faster and tighter (as you mentioned). Which is another objective standard to backup some of my initial thoughts. You mentioned more variance with the HERO. That variance can be felt in game as it is increasing latency, increase variability, and decreased consistency. While many would argue you can't feel that. I disagree. As I think humans are incredibly complex and amazing creatures and that we are more perceptive than we think we are. Especially, with training, the right gear, and/or priming. HOW THE SENSORS FEEL IN GAME: So with all that out of the way, what does it actually feel like in game? Every time I use the Focus+/Focus Pro I'm amazed at how everything just "sticks" and feels like an extension of my arm. I flick and I'm right where I need to be, if I do need to micro adjust the sensor immediately moves to that pixel that I want. When tracking I stick on my opponent (like I have auto aim) and can outline things with ease. Everything feels effortless and I can focus on everything else in game to perform well (position, where people are, movement, etc.) Whereas, when I am using the HERO I feel like instead of just doing my thing, I'm constantly fighting the sensor trying to control it and do what I want it to do, which makes other parts of my game struggle as my focus is elsewhere. Making me hyper aware of the mouse in my hand and what it isn’t doing, instead of my performance in game making it feel floaty and inaccurate. Moving onto the HERO 2 this feeling is improved. Where I rarely feel like I'm fighting the sensor and am able to focus on the game. Which I think is actually a big deal and me typing that I think gave me some clarification for my review. So thanks for that! But it doesn't feel like it is an extension of my arm still. As when I flick, I still have to micro adjust to be right on semi-regularly, and when I go to micro adjust sometimes the mouse will fight me and either not move or move to much making me miss the pixel I want and I will miss my shot. Also, when I'm tracking I go on/off my feeling of being "stuck" to a target. Where there will be times I absolutely beam people, but then other times it feels like I just can't get on target and am just slightly behind where I want to be. In general I have to focus and try a lot more to perform at the same level. Where with the Focus Pro aim is just effortless all the time and find when my aim is off on the Focus Pro it is because my form is poor which is causing me to have reduced ROM and once I fix that my aim is back on point. Where with the HERO 2 I'm constantly watching my form and in the right position but still feeling "off". Even though I enjoy the GPX shape a lot. CONFIDENCE PLAYS A BIG PART: Now with that said, and you alluded to, there are also times that mentally I WANT/NEED to use "X Product" Such as the GPX. And because of that overwhelming want/need I will perform better with that product for that day. And even then, sometimes (such as with the Finalmouse Starlight 12) despite me REALLY wanting it to be awesome due to the piss poor performance I have to bench it. So I think you feeling more confident with the GPX can color your opinion sometimes as well to make you better with a product. Even if objectively it is inferior spec wise. This can also be due to a bunch of different reasons (shape, size, weight, etc.) that can even a playing field as well which I don't want to get into. Point being, I think confidence in a product makes a huge deal on how you perform with it. That people probably don't mention enough. Another great point for my review (appreciate it!). But final point, despite me being wish-washy about what product I want to use, inevitably (for me) I always find myself performing worse with the GPX over a long period and switching back to Razer (Viper V2 Pro, Viper Mini SE, or Deathadder V3 Pro, or in the past Viper Ultimate/Deathadder V2 Pro) and find my performance is always the best it can be with those mice. With that being consistent over a multitude of mice (as I say the same thing about other Logitech mice) I know the shape/size/weight have nothing to do with it. So it must be something else. I pick sensor but it could be other things. WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID: Last actual point, and sorry for the book. But I've had a LOT of people in my comment section agree that the HERO sensor feels way worse than the Focus+ which is even more noticeable with the Focus Pro. I've never had anyone (outside of Reddit or have only tried one) say that the HERO sensor feels better than the Focus+/Pro. But have had people say that despite the sensor feeling better that due to the shape/size/weight of the GPX that they perform better and that it is their main due to that. Which I 100% respect. You gotta go with the mouse that you perform the best with, instills the most confidence, and feels the best for you. Screw what the objective measures say. There are plenty of gamers that are nutty with crap mice (from a tech standpoint). As at the end of the day, the mouse doesn't matter. But your skill does. Mice are tools, they won't make you a better gamer, but they can make it easier to perform at your best.

@@ThomasMuehler May I ask what types of FPS you play? I've experienced everything you have mentioned tbh. But the reason I switch even now, though I'm quite sure with my own measurements that the 3950 (focus pro) is better for control, is because of the differences I perceive with longer ranges of motion vs smaller micro adjustments that are used in tactical shooters. I still play a lot of arena shooters, namely quake live/quake champions etc which require, on average, longer mouse movement, and sometimes, short quick rail gun flicks. So the distribution of ranges of motions for each fight is a lot more extensive. And in these scenarios, I find hero more reliable. Not sure why, maybe a slightly laggy sensor might be better for control? Even in OW2 same thing, although if I pick a hero with ranged tracking such as Soldier, I find DA V3 pro way more responsive like you said. I was hoping they'd fix this with the hero 2 and you did mention that they have to some extent so I'm glad for that. Also, the way I measure this (as objectively as I can) is by testing my aim with both mice (over matching sensitivities - accounting for cpi deviation) in certain kovaaks/aim lab scenarios like tile frenzy and 1wall6etargets TE etc. I do these scenarios consistently better with the hero but on tracking scenarios like lgc3reborn etc I consistently do better with the DA v3 pro using it on 2khz. Basically I'm not sure why. Maybe it's just the shape but I have tried comparing apples to apples with mice like g pro hero vs g pro wired (g305 shape), g403 3366 vs g403 hero etc and its the same difference in feel for tracking vs long range flicks. Even though 3366 is different from focus pro, it feels much closer to focus pro than to hero, hence the comparison. Another observation for me is that when I'm playing fps on my brainless autopilot mode and forget to focus on aim, hero feels more intuitive but we can't always be in this frame of mind. With focus pro I can hit much harder but really need to focus on my game. I think maybe the issue with hero is controlling micro adjustments because it feels a bit like rubber-banding (fighting with the cursor as you've said). Hoping 2khz fixes it because I've gone and ordered the superlight 2. Let's see. Forgot to mention- on mouse tester graphs, DA v3 pro shows initial cpi count increases faster on slower motion where as on fast flicks it's almost the same as hero. This might be proof of why you feel it's more responsive. Mouse tester version 1.5.3 with dual devices feature.

Tend to play a plethora of different games. But to list a few (and not all of them are FPS but shooters), Escape From Tarkov, Apex Legends, Call of Duty MWII, The Division, Aimlabs, Dead Space, Halo Infinite, Halo Master Chief Collection, GTAV, PUBG, Cyberpunk 2077, Destiny 2, Fry Cry, CSGO (rarely), Resident Evil, Metro. But I haven't tried heavy tracking centric games such as OW2 or Quake. I don't have a good comment/opinion on slightly laggy sensor being better for control or not. I think something else is at play that I’m just not aware of consciously. The way you objectively test your mice is the same way I do. Where everything is equalized from a look sensitivity standpoint (2.5 rotations in game) and then do a plethora of different Aim Lab scenarios to test flicks, micro adjustments, limited tracking, long tracking, and multiple target scenarios to name a few. As that helps me really feel a difference between them. Along with look at scores for a hopeful more objective measure. And as mentioned, in my experience (which isn't to say it should be everyone’s experience or correct), is that the Razer's sensors score higher than Logitech (HERO or HERO 2) across the board on all scenarios for me. But did see a slight bump with the HERO 2 compared to the HERO. The 3366 and the HERO sensor from my understanding/research are actually the same performance wise. With the HERO being 1. Made by Logitech in house and 2. Being more efficient from a battery/energy standpoint. 3. Also, able to be upgraded a bit more through firmware unlocking higher DPI. I too like the 3366 a lot. It was my favorite sensor before the HERO and Razers 5G sensor. Was recently testing some of my older mice and the 3366 did feel better than the HERO. And I wonder if that is due to the energy management or something. Or just placebo/different shape, size, weight. I think I would also agree at times the HERO/HERO2 feels great for long tracking. And thinking more critically on it, wonder if that is as you say. With the HERO having difficulty with micro adjustments makes tracking smoother because it isn't registering those small abnormalities/twitches as well as the Focus Pro which makes it feel more consistent/better. Whether or not that is actually the case. Definitely looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the HERO vs HERO 2 sensor. And think that you going ahead with the Superlight 2 is a good call. As it sounds like you really enjoy the HERO and Logitech mice/shapes. So it is worthy of at least trying. As for your last point, fascinating! From looking at spec sheets the HERO 2 I think improves that exact thing. Which may be one reason why I’m also feeling an improvement with it over the HERO 1. But otherwise essentially the same. As latency numbers appear to be the same from others who have the ability to test such things. @@pho0ey

So the conclusion is, as an owner of superlight gen 1, there is absolutely no reason getting the superlight 2, cuz im considering it strongly as its on sale for a little over $100 bucks in my local store, the main selling point for me being the usb-c, but what i find devolutional is that they didn't do anything to the feet, which forces me to invest another $20 bucks in other feet/skates, which i would say is mandatory, unfortunately.

Yes. 1. Need third party feet. 2. Scroll wheel is the same. Which sucks. 3. Buttons while being optical are louder. Don't feel as crisp. But no double click. 4. Sensor is better. Performs better. And still one of the best performing mice and I think slightly faster than the GPX 1. Also, they came out with the 4,000 hz now. I haven't had much time to test it though. 5. USB-C is very nice. 6. I may have mentioned some other things in the video. But with time those are the main things I remember from it. So, I still think for most people the upgrade is not worth it. If your mouse breaks I would get the 2 at that point. Along with if you could sell your GPX1 it may be worth the upgrade then. Or finally, if you are like me and just like having the latest and greatest and tend to be able to convince yourself you made the right decision there are enough things here that you'd probably be OK with that. But if you are not one of those idiots (like myself) then you'd probably say it was a stupid decision.

I read the same words, "Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2", but expected nothing more than the refresh that the specs show. They improved almost everything, so with your USB port reaction in mind, What kind of change were you expecting? Maybe Apple style BS marketing in general has affected your assumptions about "ProductName x+1" even if the specs say otherwise. If we cry wolf like this, then there's nothing but noise when corporations do things that are actually dishonest (we're not exactly short, there) DISCLAIMER: Question 2 is a follow-up to question 1, does not revolutionize question asking, and contains no prophecies, unfathomable insight, or great revelations from the beyond.

Nothing actually bamboozled me. It was a joke that was pointing the finger at Logitech for their complete lack of innovation with their flagship product. Ironically, I think you kind of answer your own question there. They don't look different. They didn't put a 2 on it. They used the same exact paint job. Outside of the internal specs and PTFE feet shape there is literally no difference externally. The bump in specs is also so minimal that your average user probably won't even notice a difference between the two. And there are a ton of people who are buying the product and either getting the wrong one delivered to them (because the box is essentially the same as well) or grabbing the wrong one in stores because they aren't looking closely enough. A strong argument could be made that this is nothing more than a flip and cash grab. While this is highly profitable, it is shady, and shouldn't be encouraged. If you deep dive the exact changes, internal of the shell is different and been rebuilt from the ground up to be the same shape. Which is impressive. And yes, is technically completely different (sensor, motherboard, etc.). But very few users are going to investigate a product enough to know that. And instead, will just go with what they can physically see and feel. With the appearance and performance being essentially a wash for most users they are going to be left saying they feel bamboozled. Hence why I said it. What kind of change were you expecting? I was not expecting the shape or size to change. As it is fantastic. It would have been nice to get unique colorways outside of the same tried colors of black, white, and pink. Or at least some change in the paint job that makes it look different than the 1. Maybe a new coating or something, like most other products on the market that separate gen 1 from gen 2. But accept the argument that the coating is a favorite and therefore shouldn’t change. I wanted USB-C (check). Optical Switches (check). Improved side buttons as that has been a main complaint. Maybe even adding the right-side buttons back for left-handed users. Improved scroll wheel as that was mid on the GPX 1 as well. This one seems worse. Was expecting a better improvement with the sensor/performance, minimum of 4,000 Hz, ideally 8,000 Hz. As the HERO sensor's performance is no longer impressive compared to most of the competition. The HERO 2 is improved but not enough to make it flagship and is still just higher end. Along with some kind of innovation from the other GIANT in the industry. As they haven't released anything of note for years, are due, and this is their flagship mouse. But instead they shaved 2 grams, put a minimal sensor upgrade, switched to their hybrid optical switches, and put USB-C and called it a day. Which is a refresh. Not a new mouse. I get that technically they rebuilt it from the ground up because I’m an enthusiast. Which sounds like a lot of work for the result to be so minimal. But even as an enthusiast I’m disappointed. So, it should be a GPX Superlight 1.5. Or Superlight Pro. As there isn't enough of a change to justify a "2". In general, most people agree with me on that as well. Where most users are opting to buy the Superlight over the Superlight 2 as the price increase isn't worth the trade. Your statements are confusing to me. As you complain about Apple style marketing with minimal changes. Have another product with minimal changes and then claim that I'm crying wolf. Or I completely missed your point which is my bad. Also, with your disclaimer and generalized tone I can't tell if you're trolling or not. But I do agree. That we need to keep companies accountable. Especially, when they do dishonest things. And if we complain about things that aren't important it creates a smokescreen. I just think this is a more in the dishonest category than you do. But in the end people vote with their wallets. If a company makes a bunch of money, then they will keep doing whatever that thing is. Whether it be honest or dishonest. As companies are only as moral as the people running them. And the bigger they get the easier it is to point fingers and skirt responsibility.

Asus is an underdog that has great products as well that I don't hear from much but have great products. The latest Finalmouse Ultralight X is actually good. The best they've made. Competes in the upper areas. But continues to have a meh scroll wheel and some QA issues. 8,000 hz has yet to be supported. In the end there is definitely a lot of good mice out there these days at varying price ranges. That honestly you can't really go wrong with most of them.

Honestly, if you are still enjoying yours and there isn't anything that you feel is holding back your performance then there is no reason to upgrade. As the chase for the "next best thing" never ends. With that said, I do think there has been several changes since the G603 launched. You have better sensors, higher polling rate, lighter mice, better battery life (for the mice that have rechargeable batteries as the sensors are more accurate while using less energy), USB-C charging, perhaps lower latency firmware (as I think the G603 performs rather good in that aspect). But honestly after testing a bunch of different mice. They are all essentially the same and my performance from one to the other is essentially the same. Outside of some outliers that are just knocking everything out of the park.

im upgrading from a g402 ive used that mouse for 2-3 years but its just really heavy and i wanna upgrade to something wireless within a 100$ budget which mouse is the best i use palm grip (for fps games like val)

I'd look at Pulsar and Lamzu as they do a good job for the price point and are right around that $80 - $100. Asus has some good products as well that you should be able to get around that price on sale. Palm grip tends to be a bit harder as most FPS mice are made for claw/fingertip and medium-ish in size (over large). If you can find the Razer Deathadder V3 Pro on sale that would be my number 1 pick. But is $150 retail so out of your budget. I enjoyed the Lamzu Atlantis a lot. And depending on size of hand would work for palm. The GPX1 could be on sale and would work. Again, depends on hand size as may be too small. And would be a good option. I enjoyed the Corsair Sabre Pro Wireless. As that is good for palm and I enjoyed it a lot. And that is all of them that I can think of off the top of my head.

should have talked about the nerdy stuff bc if I'm watching a comparison video, then I care about it all.

I appreciate the feedback. I'm still trying to find a good balance of how nerdy or not I go. From my side a lot of people don't care about sensor specs as they've already made up their mind that "all sensors are flawless and therefore it doesn't matter." As taken from BadSeed Tech's video. Also, mentioned in Logitech's press brief videos. HERO/HERO 2: DPI: 25,600/32,600 (adjustable in 10 DPI increments. With their software of matching another mouse can go down to 1 DPI) Processing: 28x28/2x28x28 overlap Array Size:32x32/39x30 Spot Position: N/A / Detection by row Conversion: 4 cycles/2 cycles Frame Rate: 16.6 kHz / 25 kHz Speed: >400 IPS / >500 IPS Translation is basically a higher definition picture with a bit more bandwidth to process things faster which makes it more accurate. So, minimal differences. But I do FEEL a difference. However, as mentioned in the video my scores aren't any better (except for tracking). It feels more responsive, less laggy, and a bit more accurate. Especially, at 2,000 Hz. But I have a hard time noticing a big difference as it is still significantly behind the Focus+ and Focus Pro sensor in feel and responsiveness. Which colors my opinion on how big of a jump it is. As the HERO was high-tier, the HERO 2 is still high-tier just a bit higher up. Whereas, the Focus+, Focus Pro, and 3395 is Premium Tier. I was expecting Premium Tier performance from a titan in the industry. But since it isn't I have a hard time judging how big of a jump it is since it is still behind. If that makes sense. But it is HIGHLY consistent, and I have no qualms on using this in highly competitive environments. And if I LOVED the GPX shape and am diehard about it, then upgrading to USB-C, optical switches, improved sensor, and 2,000 Hz is probably justifiable.

Hi @Thomas - i like your funny comparison with this 2 mice (i subscribed)😊 I'm torn between Razer Viper 8K (or Mini) and the GPX (non-2) - btw: Do you have "german roots"? 😉

Welcome to the family! I'm glad you are here. The Viper 8K will have better performance (sensor and overall latency due to wired, higher polling rate, and optical switches. Arguably firmware). As the internals are slightly better. However, with it being wired I think it takes away some of the magic. But as with everything there is a trade. Those trades may be worth more or less depending on your own personal preferences. Shape can be quite hit or miss. Most people think the GPX clicks feel better (I personally think they are very close. But Vipers are louder). But the Viper's are optical which means they are immune to double clicks which is probably the main issue with the GPX. I also think Razer's optical switches are the best optical on the market (both feeling and performance wise). PTFE are better. Cost is better. Especially, looking holistically (at the whole mouse for what you pay). As for 4,000 and 8,000 Hz it uses more CPU. If your system isn't strong this could have negative side effects. Sometimes can cause frame drops (I haven't seen lately with older windows 11 update). Along with if you don't have high frames and high refresh monitor you may not see the benefits of higher polling rate anyways. As that is computer dependent (high-end system) paired with high level of aim skill paired with being sensitive to latency. Hot debate on the internet if higher polling rate is a gimmick or not. I don't think it is. But I'd go with the GPX. Safe shape, great performance, wireless, can find on sale (probably) with the GPX2 being out. Just feels a bit more high quality in the hand even if the performance isn't as good. Depending on level of skill you may not see a difference in performance. I think it weighs less which does make a difference in performance as well which may make it equal from a subjective standpoint. Still one of the most popular mice on the market. Costs more. Need third party feet as their PTFE is trash. Arguably some will say Logitech software is better than Razer. I disagree as I find it to perform better (less resources, boots faster, but is harder to navigate. Where Razer's is way easier to navigate but takes more resources, and sometimes doesn't boot fast and gets hung up). Scroll wheel is better on Viper. Side buttons are going to be a wash. I'm adopted so I have no idea about my roots. I've always thought more Irish. As I'm White AF to the point I'm reflective in the sun and I have a reddish tint to my hair/beard. But your guess is as good as mine. I could also be German!

It has been a while since I did some math regarding this issue. But found that Logitech, specifically the GPW/GPX was experiencing higher than normal rates of defects from their cheap mechanical switches. Which translated is like 10 - 15% of users. Which means 85 - 90% of users weren't having issues. But when the normal average is like 5 - 6% that is considerable. Especially, when you have a mouse this popular. So you not having issues for a year and half is still to be expected. I haven't had double clicks on any of my mice either. As there is other things that come into play that can increase issues. Such as higher humidity. Which is another conversation. But basically, not having double clicks is the norm. But if you are unlucky or depending on certain environmental factors it can increase the probability of double clicks happening. Which when spending premium money can be frustrating. Especially, if outside of that 2-year warranty window. Which is why I recommend optical switches. As they won't double click. And are technically faster latency wise. But don't feel as good to the touch. But that is more a user preference thing.

@ThomasMuehler I never considered double clicks to be a defect but I guess you could say that as it's not intended. Regardless I feel as if the switches with the GPX are considerably better than other popular mice for me the mouse that has caused me the most double clicks would be the model o wireless as slightly clicked too fast and hard will cause it to click 2 or more times despite its popularity the issue is persistent. On all the model o's I've tested myself.

@@Ares_Zelf I would agree with you in the sense of the Model O being worse. The reliability of the Glorious mice isn't great. I haven't been a big fan. As I see them more like the Walmart brand of gaming mice. Yes, they have some reasonably good stuff and at good prices. But there is a quality difference there.

What I want to know is … when playing a FPS (COD) are the new optical switches quicker (response time) on the Superlight 2 than the mechanical switches in the original Superlight. Does anyone know? Thank you!!
@ThomasMuehler

Optical switches will always be faster than mechanical. As light is faster and they practically have no debounce delay (technically there is one because there has to be but it is insignificant). However, is that noticeable in game? No. I know some people have done some testing and it showed them being a bit faster. I don't remember the exact number but probably like 1 - 2 ms. Optical switches are also more robust and won't double click. But from a latency standpoint it isn't going to be something that makes a significant difference.

@@ThomasMuehler Internals aside; If someone made me pick one I'd go with the U2 over the GPX. The shape is odd at first, but feels more comfortable over time. All the buttons feel better, like the side buttons are a huge step up in quality even M1, and M2 feel more solid. The scroll wheel is a tad loud, but feels way more responsive. The only odd part is that I get a TINY bit of side flex out of the U2 where the GPX has none. Barely noticeable unless you're looking for it, but still there. Took me a while to respond cause I was waiting for it to actually ship, and I wanted to actually use it before responding.

@@crazyeyecarl Wonderful rundown. Appreciate you getting back to me. That side flex is a bit disappointing. My Finalmouse Ultralight X has some of that and it kind of bothers me. Same with one of my copies of the Razer Deathadder V3 Pro. Which I notice every time I pick it up. But doesn't actually interfere with anything.

@@ThomasMuehler I got to try an EC2-CW, and I personally think that if they took the sensor, and switches off the U2, and put them on the EC line that would be my go to. Zowie will probably never do that though.
