Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 review: solid, great quality and price, but bit boring in 2026

The Superlight 2 is still a very good mouse with a classic shape, crisp clicks and great build quality for just over 1000 NOK, but it struggles to excite me in 2026.

The mouse without a click

I'd argue the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike is a revolution. The mechanical switches are swapped for haptic ones. No click sound, no click movement, but ten adjustable actuation points. Here's my take after several months on the desk.
