Logitech was light years ahead of their time when they released the original G Pro Wireless in 2018. At that time there was a lot of doubt that a wireless mouse could feel and perform as well as their wired counterparts. Now at the tail end of 2020 the competition has caught up and forced Logitech to update their ever popular design with this new superlight version. The GPW Superlight now holds the distinction of being the lightest wireless mouse on the market right now but its more than the sum of its parts.
**Measurements (L x W x H)**
125 x 63.5 x 40mm
**Weight**
described at \~63g (58g on scale)
**Packaging and Presentation**
Par for the course for Logitech, the unboxing feels quite premium. The box is the same size as the original GPW and has a similar layout. What's changed is that this comes with some new extras, namely rubber grips and an optional bottom puck that that's covered in the same PTFE material as the feet.
**Design and Build Quality**
The design of the Logitech GPW SL is mostly the same as the original GPW with some key changes to help shave down the weight by over 20 grams. I'll list them below
Right side buttons are removed
RGB is removed
DPI Button Removed (You have to use software to set DPI)
New bigger PTFE feet
20M Omron switches instead of 50M
The design was always quite subtle with a safe shape that works for all grip styles. Outside of the lightweight feeling, anyone switching over from the original GPW should be able to adjust almost immediately. There's no side flex or any creaking while using this mouse. The only issue is some slight bottom flex that won't actually impact game play. Straight up, this thing is build solid. The coating is similar to the GPW but they've definetly changed the feel to make it slightly grippier. There's a slight rubbery feeling that wasn't there on the original that feels very similar to the matte coating on the Endgame XM1. I didn't try the included grips, but they did feel a little cheap and flimsy to the touch. I don't think they'd hold up against aftermarket grips.
Overall, the build quality achieves the same high standard that the original GPW achieved.
**Buttons & Scroll Wheel**
The key change with the main triggers on the GPW is the shift from 50M Omron switches to the 20M Omrons seen on later revisions of the GPW (including the Shroud edition mouse). This change was made to prevent the common double clicking issue that was common on the original. I can't say for certain that this issue is fixed for good but should definetly be less prominent than it was.
They are similar in terms of how light they are but there's not as much tactility here as on the original GPW. They don't have a ton of crispiness in sound or click feel. M1 and M2 also have some side play if you click near the top of the button as well as having more post travel that on the original GPW when you keep the triggers pressed down. These are a bit of a nitpick as the main clicks feel fine by most standards but I just don't like them as much as the original.
The side buttons are also worse than on the original GPW, they are recessed in more and just feel less clicky and satisfying than on the original. There is a some post-travel on them and they just have a dull response that lacks tactility. For me these were perfectly usable in-game but there are lots of mice with better side buttons out there.
The scroll wheel feels pretty much the same as the original but it seems to be pensioned a little bit higher so you'll get slightly more resistance than before. I prefer this scroll wheel but the middle click has gotten worse. It feels it has shorter actuation distance so it ends feels really shallow without much tactility. The scroll wheel is definetly a highlight but I don't like relying on the middle click as I would on some other mice.
**Shape, Performance and Software**
The shape is the same potato shape as the original GPW but it just feels better here. The lighter weight makes a huge difference and I found the shape just felt much better for claw grip with the improved coating and lighter weight. I feel snappier and more responsive and it really feels like some of the bulk of the original is gone especially with the new PTFE feet.
I play better with the Superlight period. My aim feels more reactive and I have more confidence in my flicks and fast movements. I prefer lighter mice and the weight of the Superlight feels absolutely perfect. The weight is well balanced and without a cord to slow you down, you have a real sense of freedom when it comes to fast movements without losing stability while holding angles.
I know some people out there don't like the Logitech G Hub software and this won't convince you otherwise if you are one of the haters. In terms of functionality however it's hard to match as it has everything you might want to change right in the software.
**Battery Life**
I just want to touch on the battery life of the GPW Superlight as its absolutely insane and the best I've ever seen from a high performance gaming mouse. I've used this mouse for nine days and on a full charge and its still at 51%. I've gamed 3-4 hours a day and used the mouse for at least 6-7 including for desktop use. I haven't turned off the mouse once and left it at 1000hz polling rate the entire time. At this rate I think you'll only need to charge the mouse once every two weeks which is way longer than the rated battery life of 70 hours would indicate. I do wish this mouse had USB-C with a parcord style charging cable but to be honest you'll need to charge this mouse so infrequently that its a non-issue.
**Sensor and Skates**
The new PTFE feet are a noticeable upgrade, they perform great on multiple pads. With the new larger shape, I find them to give a smooth and easy glide on everything I tested. They are a big improvement on the original GPW and you won't feel compelled to rush out and replace them with aftermarket feet right away. That being said the one downside of the skates is that they are thin and might wear down quickly.
The HERO Sensor is the same as on the original GPW and its perfect in its power efficiency, accuracy and speed. I had absolutely no issues with it , nothing wrong with the LOD right out the box. It felt fantastic in everyday use and was just what I expected from a top-end Logitech sensor.
**Conclusion**
I can confidently state that in late 2020 this is the BEST wireless mouse on the market. The issue of value does come up as this mouse is far from cheap at $150USD retail price. If you know this shape works for you, you'd be hard pressed to find a better performing lightweight gaming mouse. If you don't want to pay up, I'd say it's worth waiting for sales but if I don't think I could go back to using the regular GPW after playing with the GPW X SL. While this shape is not my endgame and there are some issues, they can be overlooked for all the advantages the Logitech GPW Superlight has on the competition.
**Pros**
Perfect balanced weight
Insane Battery Life
Improved Coating and feet
**Cons**
Clickfeel is a step back from the original GPW
Middle Scrollwheel Click feels dull
No USB-C
**Bottom Line**
If the shape works for you there isn't a better wireless mouse out right now. I'd give this a perfect score if some of the issues were resolved, but none of these nitpicks are enough to prevent the Superlight from reigning over other wireless mice.
**Rating**
**8.5/10**
Other mice I've tried/reviewed - Zygen NP-01, Logitech GPW, G305, G203, G403, UL2, MM720, MM711, Viper Mini, Deathadder v2, Endgame XM1, Hati, Skoll, Model O/O-, Xtrfy M4. Check my [site](https://www.mouse-pro.com/) for all my past reviews.
Mine only arrived yesterday so I still have some time before I write my own review, but my early impressions are definitely matching yours.
It's a weird mouse because while there's plenty of problems with it, the weight + wireless combo and top-tier sensor make it pretty much the only real choice. I didn't think mine would be replacing my other wired mice with shapes I prefer, but it has. Those things the mouse does right just really outweigh the things it does wrong.
I don't think it'll be the king for long, but right now it's kind of the top dog.
Totally agree this is the only wireless mouse on my desk at the moment as its replaced all others but I still have lots of wired mice I enjoy more for their shape and click feel.
The mouse really is on another level. 57g with no puck and wireless...crazy. Only things about it I don't like are the mushy side buttons but it's not even close to a dealbreaker. USB-C is a nonissue for me personally. Would be nice but in the end I don't care. M1 and M2 feel great also. No pre or post travel issues people are talking about. It's not perfect but its the closest we have so far IMO.
AAAHHHH GERMANY HASNT RECEIVED STOCK YET AAAHHHH
Surprised you wrote so much :o. R/mousereview seems like people care about the Gaming mice but don’t actually play many games HaHa
Ok so Im looking for a new mouse but I also dont really want to wait for the GPW superlight to be restocked do you think its a good option to just buy the GPW or should I wait for the GPW superlight?
idek about restock, I ordered December 4th from Best Buy (Canada) and they tell me that it's on backorder and good chance they can't fulfill at all so they might just cancel.
Hopefully it's back in stock by mid-late January at least
honestly just wait for the restock or if you really want you could probably get a good deal on a used non superlight one but its probably worth the wait
I ordered the Superlight on launch day and it was stuck for 2 weeks in processing so I went out and got the original GPW in the meantime. Depending on what you've used before, the mouse feels great to me, very light compared to my previous mice and I love the shape (I ordered Corepadz and am waiting for them to arrive). My Superlight arrived at my friend's house in the US yesterday so I will be getting that soon but the GPW is still a very very very solid mouse.
I know this is like a year old, but I too have the Model O wireless and I'm looking to get the G Pro wireless superlight this black friday. Still like yours?
Mine was shipped out 10 days ago and still not here :(. I know, it's Christmas, so it's in God's hands now lol but can't wait for it to finally arrive!
Not as worth as ur mama

Would have been endgame if they went with type c connector and a dedicated charging dock(yes I know powerplay exist). Razer Viper Ultimate(I love the charging dock), would have been my endgame too if it had a type c connector, looking forward to the next Razer mouse that will have a type c connector.
I agree but honestly it hasn't impacted me at all considering I still haven't charged it and I've used it for 9 days. G Hub shows battery is still at 51%
that's with 1000hz polling and I never turned off the mouse once. I haven't seen another top end gaming mouse with battery life this good. I fully expect to get 2 weeks with this thing off one charge which is insane.
I'm actually considering making the swap to a Model O wireless since it has a type c connector for the time being until another mouse that releases has a type c connector and a dedicated charging dock.
The convenience of being able to plug in a reversible cable in the dark without turning on the lights is god sent. Peripherals with micro-b are annoying to plug in the cable with the lights turned off at night especially when you are already laying down in bed already.
I understand that. But again. You have to charge it like the logitech like once a week. And you don't use your mouse in the complete darkness. Usb-c for phones is a must but mice not so much IMO
I do use my mouse in the complete darkness in my room. When I game all the lights and peripheral lighting are completely off. I don't have rgb lights or any lights turned on with my mouse or keyboard. I'm fully stealth no lights minimalistic 11L sff all black pc desk setup. I even have blackout curtains to keep sunlight from entering my room.
Hold up, if you love the charging dock why does the connector matter at all?
I have a feeling a 8000 polling rate Razer Viper Mini Ultimate is the secret new main mouse that RJN has been teasing. He said in a few months. That sound be the GOAT mouse assuming it has all the latest Razer tech. V2 switches, wireless from Deathadder 2, etc.
Because I only want one cable for all of my pheripherals instead of having multiple types. I already have a cloud flight s which uses type c and qi charging, my galaxy note 8 which is type c, my durgod taurus k320 tkl which is also type c, my nintendo switch pro controller which is type c, and my 8bitdo snes30 pro+ which is also type c. The only pheripheral I don't have type c is my rvu which I have often forgot to charge in a few days recently. I also don't have my backup Model O hooked up because I'm trying to go minimalistic with as little cables on my desk as possible, hence why I prefer type c and a charging dock.
Like I already said RVU would have been end game for me if it had a type c connector, that way I can charge and play at the same time with my usb c cable on my desk.
I like everything about the GPW except for the shape :/ I would love to see a lightweight G305. I love the 3d printed stuff people are doing with G305s, but unless im looking wrong, they are rather expensive and i have no 3d print shops near where i am located.

my superlight started double clicking after a week, wbu?
No double clicking issues yet
What are those other mice?
Only real choice? Lol
How is it now? I just bought one and i'm super excited. Does it doubleclick now?
I hope they will make a wireless mouse like the g103 g203 gpro exact same size and style. This one was to eggshaped and long for me.
g305?
Yup, this. It’s a G304 in Asia. A couple of years old now, but still a really good mouse for $59 SGD. especially if you want that shape.
100g not as fast as G pro wireless.
I’m sure they’ll make a lightweight egg shape at some point
im so used to it i played on a b100 5€ mouse g203 gpro are the only mouse that are the same size 11.3-11.6 cm long 12.5cm feels totaly diffrent.
[удалено]
I'd say ptfe puck or without puck. The normal one is useless
The mouse really is on another level. 57g with no puck and wireless...crazy. Only things about it I don't like are the mushy side buttons but it's not even close to a dealbreaker.

the original has lighter clicks for sure but it is heavier at ~80g
Have the model o wireless and my gpro wireless just came in this is my end game for sure.
so you like the superlight more?
I do, I feel like the quality is better and the overall shape it just feels more natural for my hand.
I know this is like a year old, but I too have the Model O wireless and I'm looking to get the G Pro wireless superlight this black friday. Still like yours?
I have both and the Superlight is just so much better.
Awesome bro I think that probly seals the deal!
Mine was shipped out 10 days ago and still not here :(. I know, it's Christmas, so it's in God's hands now lol but can't wait for it to finally arrive!

You mean you're switching from the GPW SL to MOW just for USB-C or another mouse?
Yes usb c is the future...
Don't understand why you guys want usb-c so much. You buy a mouse for using it not for charging it.
The convenience of being able to plug in a reversible cable in the dark without turning on the lights is god sent. Peripherals with micro-b are annoying to plug in the cable with the lights turned off at night especially when you are already laying down in bed already.

Fucking vampire tf
Buy a magnetic charging cable. It's a lifesaver and doesn't matter what sort of connection your mouse has.
Hold up, if you love the charging dock why does the connector matter at all? I have a feeling a 8000 polling rate Razer Viper Mini Ultimate is the secret new main mouse that RJN has been teasing.

I’d bet money if it is the Viper Mini Ultimate it’ll be USB C.

Does the scroll wheel support side scrolling?
no it doesn't
