Logitech G Unveils New PRO X TKL LIGHTSPEED Gaming Keyboard and PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 Gaming Mouse
Today, Logitech G, a brand of Logitech and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear, introduced the two newest products in the award-winning PRO Series line, the Logitech G PRO X TKL LIGHTSPEED Gaming Keyboard and Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 Gaming Mouse. Over the past three years, Logitech G has been working with hundreds of the world's most skilled professional esports athletes to create the next generation of PRO Series gear. These new products, when combined with the Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset launched earlier this year, complete the PRO Series line, offering the highest level of PC performance across mice, keyboards and headsets.
"The exciting new PRO Series portfolio represents a pure and uncompromised product collection, designed for maximum performance of elite esports professionals and the most competitive gamers playing at the peak of potential," stated Brent Barry, Head of Esports and PRO Series at Logitech G. "These products exemplify our commitment to pushing the limits of performance, speed, and reliability, which is only made possible through our multi-year, collaborative design process with professional esports athletes. Our elite athlete partners help design, develop and test our products, ensuring they deliver the highest level of performance, quality and cutting-edge innovation."
The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 Gaming Mouse combines precision, performance and reliability, making it an indispensable advantage for elite-level gaming.
State-of-the-art technologies and features include its LIGHTFORCE Hybrid Switches, a new hybrid optical-mechanical switch technology that combines the revolutionary performance of optical sensors in speed and reliability while providing the crisp response and mechanical feel that Pros love.
The new mouse also includes the brand new HERO 2 Sensor, with tracking at over 500 inches per second and up to 32,000 DPI. Its unique dual array design increases working range and maintains tracking performance, even when lifting or tilting the mouse.
Based on feedback from pro gamers, the new PRO X SUPERLIGHT retains its award-winning shape and geometry of the original PRO SUPERLIGHT and also a weight of only 60 grams.
Additional features include: PRO-grade technology, USB-C, 95-hour battery life, POWERPLAY compatibility, a larger array size and a best-in-class 25 kilohertz maximum frame rate. Zero-additive PTFE mouse feet deliver a smooth glide for seamless reactivity to any game.
Like the PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 Gaming Mouse, the new Logitech G PRO X TKL Wireless Gaming Keyboard was also designed with and for pros to deliver the highest level of competitive play. Its tenkeyless form factor features programmable keys, RGB lighting with LIGHTSYNC, dedicated media controls and volume roller, and the trusted performance and reliability of Logitech G's LIGHTSPEED wireless technology. In addition to the LIGHTSPEED dongle, players can connect via Bluetooth or via the included USB-C to USB-A cable.
PRO X TKL features dual-shot PBT keycaps that let LIGHTSYNC RGB shine through. The standard layout allows for third-party keycap compatibility, and additional media keys create quick access while grinding, a detail many pro players requested. Plus, being tenkeyless means more room for mouse movement, an important advantage for competitive players.
Players can take their game on the go with the keyboard's included carry case, and choose between Tactile Switches (GX Brown), Linear Switches (GX Red) or Clicky Switches (GX Blue).
For pros, the smallest setting change can make the difference between victory and second place. In the new PRO Series products, DPI, sensitivity, report rate, surface, game settings and more are all interconnected. And with G HUB updates and Onboard Memory Management software (OMM), players now have even more control and configuration capabilities:
In addition to creating the world's highest-performing gear, Logitech is equally committed to creating a more equitable and climate-positive world by actively reducing our carbon impact. With upgraded and intentional design, using these new gaming products is a choice players can feel good about. The PRO Series includes certified post-consumer recycled plastic to give a second life to end-of-use plastic from old consumer electronics.
Paper packaging comes from FSC -certified forests and other controlled sources. By choosing this product, players are supporting responsible management of the world's forests.
All Logitech G products are certified carbon neutral and use renewable energy when possible during manufacturing. When players purchase a Logitech G product, the carbon footprint of that product has been reduced to zero by supporting forestry, renewables and climate-impacted communities.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G PRO X TKL LIGHTSPEED Gaming Keyboard and Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 Gaming Mouse and PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset, are available in pink, black, and white colorways.

Logitech is lazy af. And STILL no G305 Superlight. Who would have guessed?
If you can live with bad switches, microUSB, 1k polling and the older tech, then save half your money by all means. But let's not pretend that "almost double" is an apples to apples comparison.
The fact the mouse uses optical switches is promising since Logitech's usual weakness is short-lived Omron China switches that are lucky to make it into their third year of daily driving. I'm not so keen on $249 for a set of headphones that use faux-leather for the earcups and headband. IME these flake away in about 2-3 years, no exceptions. I've seen it with Sony and Microsoft headphones at home and countless hundreds of varying brand headsets at work. Would it kill them to make an "eco" product with materials that have a non-disposable lifespan such as cotton, polyester, or real leather?
Sadly, Logitech are just cashing in on brand-recognition these last few years. The innovation and quality is nothing special but the pricing is getting hard to stomach. Thankfully there's a lot of good competition in all three of these markets. I'm pretty sure I can get a nicer mouse, keyboard and headset for less - from quality brands that specialise in each field, too.
Logitech keeps getting more and more disappointing...
Just sayin'.
The keyboard? Meh. If only Wooting would release a 75% keyboard, it would definitely blow this PRO X TKL out of the water with the price (although it would probably cost the same considering the 60HE is $175).
Headset is actually pretty good, its just overpriced. At least it has an option to go wired if you have your own DAC or if you won't be using the wireless 2.4G dongle or BT. Sadly it does not support simultaneous inputs (e.g. both active 2.4G and BT at the same time) unlike the Corsair Virtuoso XTs.
The G100s line's top dog is the G305, with an Energizer Ultimate Lithium AAA battery. (Or the OG MX300, for that matter...)
In short, practice and playing the game is really what improves game skill. And you don't need a keyboard/mouse/controller that costs $200+ in order to "git gud". Just something decent and a lot of time and patience.
