Logitech has simply unveiled the G Professional X Superlight 2 Dex, a brand new model of its Superlight 2 gaming mouse that takes on a brand new curvy form that’s geared toward interesting to players that aren’t so eager on the flatter, straighter-style of symmetrical mice like earlier G Professional iterations. I went hands-on with the Logitech G Professional X Superlight 2 Dex to see if it’s set to be a brand new gaming mouse revolution.
The Superlight 2 presently sits on our greatest gaming mouse information as the very best wi-fi ultralight gaming mouse, due to its comfy symmetrical form, very gentle weight, and glorious total efficiency. So, can the brand new ergonomic model of this Logitech rodent carry out as nicely? Let’s have a look.
The story of Logitech’s G Professional lineup of gaming mice has been a peculiar one, with its G Professional Wi-fi being a landmark gaming mouse that launched in 2018 and mixed revolutionary wi-fi tech with a snug and ambidextrous design. This was adopted by the primary Superlight model of that mouse that dropped the really ambidextrous a part of the design by eradicating the buttons on its proper aspect – a disappointing transfer solely rectified by the just-now announcement G Professional 2 Lightspeed. By the way, Logitech’s naming for its G Professional lineup actually is terrible, on condition that in case you Google the latter mouse, all you’ll get is outcomes for the corporate’s G Professional headset.
The Superlight 2 adopted final 12 months and now now we have the Superlight 2 Dex, which is the primary G Professional Logitech mouse to sport an ergonomic, right-hand-only form. On this method, it turns into far more of a direct rival to the likes of the Razer Deathadder, with the non-Dex Superlight persevering with to be a rival to the Razer Viper.
Working shortly by the specs of this mouse, it boasts some much more ludicrous numbers than we’ve received used to seeing from fashionable gaming mice. Its Hero 2 sensor has an enormous 44,000 max DPI stage and it may observe at as much as 888 inches per second with a max acceleration of 88G. With the mouse additionally in a position to talk together with your PC at a polling price of as much as 8KHz, Logitech has left no stone unturned in guaranteeing this mouse has all of the numbers.
In our play testing, these numbers proved as succesful as some other high tier gaming mouse from the final a number of years. The ever persevering with developments in sensor tech are attention-grabbing and good to have however, apart from the slight increase in smoothness from the next polling price, mice have been basically flawless for gaming for years now.
By way of consolation, then, the brand new form (left above) didn’t instantly win me over as a efficiency gaming device. I’m so used to utilizing ever smaller, lighter, symmetrical mice, such because the Endgame Gear OP1 8K, Superlight 2, or Xtrfy MZ1 Wi-fi for gaming. I sometimes then resort to a G502 X for ‘comfy’ desktop work and within the case of the Dex, switching to a bulkier ergonomic form really felt much less comfy. Nonetheless, in case you’re used to utilizing a mouse just like the Razer Deathadder then the Dex is clearly going to make for a welcome various.
All that stated, the form is comparatively delicate, with a slight carry on the left aspect, and a slight widening of the rear. The entrance of the mouse feels all however similar to the prevailing G Professional lineup, which isn’t a nasty factor.
This sense of similarity and this mouse not instantly feeling like a revolutionary new stage of consolation or motion freedom is mirrored in the truth that the Superlight 2 Dex is similar 60g weight because the symmetrical Superlight 2. By fashionable requirements that’s actually decently gentle for a wi-fi possibility however it’s not record-breaking, with the Razer Viper V3 Professional being 5g decrease and a number of other others sitting decrease nonetheless.
All informed, the Dex wears its qualities on its sleeve. It’s a barely extra ergonomic model of the Superlight 2 and that’s all there may be to it. Should you favor a barely extra leant-over, palm-supporting form mouse then the Dex will attraction greater than the symmetrical Superlight 2. Each are nice mice when it comes to efficiency although each additionally stay very costly choices.
