CS2’s #1 Mouse: The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2

Introduction

---

The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 launched in late 2023 as the successor to what was arguably the most successful professional gaming mouse ever made. For many years, the G Pro flagship mice simply had no equal. In terms of specs and performance, they were years ahead of the competition, so it only made sense that pros gravitated towards the best gear. But the scene has changed. In the time since Logitech’s dominance began, rival brands have caught up, and the Swiss brand isn’t the only top dog anymore. And yet, the Superlight line is still amazingly popular. In fact, it’s even been the #1 mouse of choice in the CS2 scene for 2025.

In this article, we’ll take a deeper dive into why this mouse is still so extremely popular. We’ve asked pro players (either directly or via their management or entourage), we’ve looked at the data, and we’ve dived into a little bit of history.

Some pros preferred to remain anonymous for contractual reasons or other reasons, so we respect those wishes.

A Brief History

---

The story of the Superlight started way back in August of 2018 with the release of the Logitech G Pro Wireless. This was one of the first truly flawless gaming mice, offering a perfect sensor and a lossless wireless connection. On top of that, the mouse was designed with pros in order to have a shape that appealed to as many different hand sizes and grip styles as possible.

Needless to say, many professional gamers jumped at the opportunity to cut the cord.

Because it took competitors years before they caught up with Logitech on a technical level, the G Pro Wireless (and its successor, the G Pro X Superlight) reigned alone for years.

Fast-forward to today, and we see a different landscape. There are dozens upon dozens of alternatives on the market right now. Small brands, as well as huge and established players, have wireless mice with flawless sensors and perfect wireless technology. That has been the case for years now.

And yet, the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 is still the mouse to beat in the CS2 landscape.

Continuity

---

Anyone who follows the professional Counter-Strike scene will know that the pros aren’t exactly eager to change things up. So in a way, it makes sense that it’s difficult to beat what has basically been the ‘standard-issue pro gaming mouse’ for years now. Still, in a time where top-tier mice are coming out every single week, one might wonder why we almost never see a meaningful shift towards other mice.

When trying to answer that question, it should be noted that Logitech has been using the exact same shape for almost a decade now. Since the G Pro Wireless, nothing has changed about Logitech’s flagship mouse design. Some call that laziness, but we consider it to be a smart choice. If over 50% of pros were using the same design at a certain point in time, why risk losing that market share by making changes to the shape?

So when the Superlight 2 debuted without any shape changes, we understood exactly why they did that. And, as it turns out, this continuity of shape and features is exactly what pros like.

“I’m a known Logitech G aficionado who fell in love with the PRO X SUPERLIGHT mouse once upon a time. Nowadays the PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 is my go-to which came as a noticeable upgrade, especially for the sensor. It just provides an all-around perfect experience for me when it comes to precision, form, weight, overall comfort and reliability.“

Trust and Reliability

---

Another reason for the longevity of the Superlight shape lies in the fact that these mice have been around for so long. Pros know exactly what to expect, and know that Logitech’s flagship products have been used on various top-tier stages across the world for years.

Yes, you could take a chance on a flashy new mouse made by an up-and-coming brand, but why would you when you’re still perfectly happy with your current mouse? Gaming mice have had flawless sensors and wireless connections for years now, so it’s not as if there have been any products coming out that completely shake up the meta like we saw with the release of the G Pro Wireless, or in the keyboard scene, the recent dominance of analog keyboards.

So when there’s (a lot of) money on the line, it’s only logical that you go for a product that has served you well for years without any issues rather than going with something unknown.

“I don’t feel a big difference between recent gaming mice. There’s tons of marketing going around, and I’m sure some of these mice perform better than others in a lab, but for me, mice have been performing perfectly since the Superlight. So for me, there is no reason to switch, since I also like the shape [of the Superlight] very much.“

– Anonymous CS2 pro player

“I think the Superlight 2 is a really solid well rounded mouse. Not only does it function really well but it’s very reliable. I think that combo is very important especially when competing. No matter the situation it has my back & I never have to think about it. I can just focus on playing the game.“

– Mounira “Goosebreeder” Dobie

Safe Shape

---

In the gaming mouse community, the Superlight is often referred to as a ‘potato shape’. And indeed, it’s a very safe shape. There are pretty much no awkward curves or any sections of the mouse that force your fingers to go a certain way.

Some gamers consider a shape like this to be ‘boring’, but it can’t be argued that a safe shape has much more potential users than a design that heavily focuses on one specific grip style. And while the Superlight’s shape is indeed very much a ‘one size fits all’ type of thing, it’s also genius in the sense that it speaks to so many players. If you give this mouse to 100 gamers, you’ll only find a couple who outright dislike it. That’s a testament to how well-designed the mouse is, and obviously also a major reason for its popularity.

“I’ve been using the Superlight 2 for a while now. I’ve gone between ergo and ambi shapes all of my career and I’m really liking the shape and size because it fits my hand really well. The mouse clicks on this mouse are also really good.“

– Iulian “regali” Harjău

Sponsorships?

---

When we discuss a gaming peripheral’s popularity in the pro scene, we also need to address the elephant in the room: sponsorships. Obviously, brands sponsor players and teams. However, the influence of sponsors in established games’ mouse market is relatively low. You can verify this for yourself by just taking a look at our CS2 Pro List. You’ll find tons of teams that are sponsored by Brand A while they’re all using gear from Brand B and vice versa.

So yes, sponsorships obviously play a role in how much visibility a brand can give itself when they launch a new product, but they don’t tell the whole story. Especially if you consider that other big brands also devote time and money to sponsorships, and the Superlight 2 still comes out on top.

What’s Next?

---

Considering the fact that the G Pro X Superlight 2 is part of gaming mouse royalty and there haven’t been any seismic shifts in the gaming mouse landscape in recent times, we expect Logitech’s flagship to continue its stay at the top. It’s known by pretty much every gamer, it’s used by the best CS2 players on the planet, it is available across the globe, and it has a super safe shape that can be used by just about anyone. There are no indicators that its popularity will go down any time soon.

Speaking of seismic shifts: Logitech itself might be at the forefront of another revolution with their Superstrike mouse. That introduces the so-called Haptic Inductive Trigger System, which means that players will be able to finely tune their clicks. Those who prefer a super sensitive click can dial that in, while others can go for a more robust click.

It remains to be seen whether this new click system will be a gimmick or something that’s actually useful, but we do know that it’s been a long time since a big brand has really tried something new with their gaming mice, so we’re excited to see where that goes. Obviously, we’ll have a review of that mouse ready when it officially launches.

Conclusion

---

Logitech really struck gold with their flagship gaming mice. They were the first company to bring flawless wireless mice to the market, they hopped on the lightweight trend early enough with an updated version, and they designed a shape that can be used by pretty much everyone. And, more importantly, they’re smart enough to not meddle with the mouse’s winning features.

As such, it doesn’t need to be a surprise that the G Pro X Superlight 2 is the most used mouse in the Counter-Strike 2 scene, and one of the most used mice on the entire website. It’s perhaps not the flashiest product on the market anymore, but it does everything to a really high standard. It’s also a reliable product that won’t go through massive changes when new versions hit the market, and that type of continuity and trust is extremely important in the CS2 scene.
