[TheLostSwede]

Logitech G, a brand of Logitech, announced at Logi PLAY the launch of its latest PRO Series gear, designed to meet the demands of elite esports athletes and competitive gamers. The new lineup includes the PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX Gaming Mouse, the PRO 2 LIGHTSPEED Gaming Mouse, and the PRO X TKL RAPID Gaming Keyboard.

"We pour a lot into our PRO Series products, focusing on innovations that deliver immediate performance gains by forming deep partnerships with pros to meet their exacting needs. This research and design practice not only allows us to identify and create product breakthroughs but also serves as a performance test bed that ultimately serves the entire gaming community," said Chris Pate, Head of PRO Series Product Development at Logitech G. "With our new PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX, our new ambidextrous PRO 2 LIGHTSPEED, and our first magnetic analog rapid trigger keyboard, the PRO X TKL RAPID, we're meeting gamers' needs for the highest performance gear possible."




Over the past three years, Logitech G has worked with hundreds of professional esports athletes to create the next generation of PRO Series gear. These new products, combined with the current line-up of PRO Series gear, offer players the shape, playstyle, and functionality choices they need to find the best fit for them. Players can also feel confident that as a PRO Series product, each guarantees the highest level of performance across mice and keyboards. The newest additions to the PRO Series include:

PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX: The Asymmetrical Gaming Sharpshooter
The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX is the cornerstone of our new releases, featuring a brand-new, asymmetrical, right-handed design developed with feedback from professional gamers in titles like Counter-Strike and Valorant. This mouse is not just about ergonomics; it's a technological powerhouse.

• LIGHTSPEED Wireless Technology: Upgraded to support 8 kHz polling, delivering ultra-fast and responsive performance.
• HERO 2 Sensor: Re-engineered from the ground up to help achieve 8 kHz polling, this sensor now offers unmatched tracking performance with speeds over 888 inches per second and acceleration over 88G.
• LIGHTFORCE Switches: Combines optical sensing for instant actuation and reliability with a mechanical component for a satisfying click and low power consumption.
• Sustainability: Manufactured with up to 55% post-consumer recycled ABS plastic, significantly reducing its carbon impact.
• DEX is a specialized right-handed tool that many pro players have asked us to add to the PRO Series portfolio. As with our PRO Series gear, DEX has been a multi-year development cycle, working with hundreds of elite esports athletes to meet their specific needs.

"The PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX feels like an extension of my hand, and that kind of comfort is crucial in high-stakes matches," said Nikola "NiKo" Kovač, G2 Esports, Counter-Strike 2. "DEX delivers on the quality, precision, and speed that I told Logitech I need to win."

PRO 2 LIGHTSPEED: An Upgrade to the Iconic PRO Wireless
In addition to launching a brand new right-handed PRO gaming mouse, we have taken the opportunity to launch the Logitech G PRO 2 LIGHTSPEED. The new PRO 2 LIGHTSPEED takes the original ambidextrous design of the PRO Wireless gaming mouse to the next level with state-of-the-art components and performance enhancements. This is an evolution of an esports icon featuring the latest LIGHTSPEED and HERO 2 updates.

"If you are a fan of ambidextrous mice, the G PRO 2 LIGHTSPEED is definitely the one I recommend!" said Evan "evv" De Couto, FlyQuest RED, Valorant. "It's such a fast and responsive mouse, and its shape is effortless to hold, which makes adjusting to your targets more precise and simple."

PRO X TKL RAPID: The First Pro Grade Rapid Trigger Keyboard
The PRO X TKL RAPID is Logitech G's debut magnetic analog keyboard, offering adjustable actuation points and rapid trigger functionality. These features empower professionals to execute movements and commands with exceptional speed and precision. The keyboard's actuation points and rapid trigger settings can be adjusted instantly without software, making it ideal for esports pros who must configure new hardware on systems where software installation isn't allowed.

"I've tested many analog keyboards out there, but what sets the PRO X TKL RAPID apart is how Logitech truly listened to my input," said Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov, G2 Esports, Counter-Strike 2. "They took the time to understand what I needed in a keyboard and made sure those features were reflected in the final product."

Key features include:

• Magnetic Analog Switches: Custom designed by Logitech G engineers to have industry-leading response linearity, these switches feature adjustable actuation points and rapid trigger capability for precise and swift movements.
• Key Priority: Logitech G's easy-to-use implementation of Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions (SOCD) resolution, this G HUB feature gives players more precision, speed, and control over in-game movement by assigning one or more pairs of keys to measure and compare actions, such as travel distance, last press, and neutral or absolute priority.
• On-the-Fly Configuration: This feature allows pros to quickly and easily configure actuation points and rapid trigger settings without installing G HUB. It is ideal for tournament systems that do not permit third-party software installation.
• G HUB Integration: KEYCONTROL provides detailed control of rapid trigger and switches travel settings, multi-actuation assignments, and multiple command layers. Users can also access the G HUB community and pro player settings to optimize their keyboard's capabilities.
• Sustainability: Constructed using low-carbon aluminium and post-consumer recycled ABS plastic.

Pricing and Availability:
The PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX, the upgraded PRO 2 LIGHTSPEED, and the PRO X TKL RAPID Gaming Keyboard are available in pink, black, and white colorways.

PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX - Available on September 17 - MSRP at USD 159.99

Apparently that's what we're expected to pay for gaming gear these days...

 

[evernessince]

What is Logitech thinking with this nomenclature?

They've got:

G Pro
Pro
Pro X Wireless
Pro 2 X
Pro X 2
Pro X superlight Dex
Pro 2 superlight x
Pro X 2 lightspeed

There's a mix of mice and headsets in those names, although you won't be able to tell given how similar they all are.

And seriously, why has logitech made so many iterations on the G Pro yet they haven't done a single update to their past popular mice like the G305? The G305 used to be widely used but has dropped out of favor given they haven't updated that mouse with weight reductions and a better sensor since 2018.

Gosh, I just love those meaningless marketing blurbs from the pro-players. Logitech took your feedback into account, you say? And what was that feedback? Hilarious. The mouse is “fast and precise”? You mean like any mouse using a sensor starting from, oh, 3310 back from the time of the dinosaurs? Just stop playing at this weird pretend like you didn’t sponsor these players/teams and they “say” whatever you direct them to. This is “total real players playing a total real game” cringe that E3 was known for in 2010s.
Seriously, behead all marketing people, inshallah.

They did. The consider the, ugh, the G309 to be the successor/update.

They really need to make a stripped down 502 with hyperscroll, or add hyperscroll to the 703, because heaven knows we need another 747389283782 low weight variants as opposed to an actual useful feature.

 

[Broken Processor]

Maybe we will get a new Master MX soon it's the only thing Logitech make I'm interested in.

It usually takes about a year for Logitech prices to drop to more sane levels.
Take a look at the now one year old Superlight 2.

 

[trsttte]

Wait a minute, the entire keyboard uses analog switches? Not just a subset of the most used keys?

Maybe we will get a new Master MX soon it's the only thing Logitech make I'm interested in.

Especially the vertical one, that thing hasn't been updated since it launched in 2018. They launched a cheaper version but it's too small for my hands.

I agree, I'd rather see a lightweight G502 than another boring overpriced "pro" superlight mouse. Over $100 for these mice is ridiculous.

 

[Legacy-ZA]

At one point, you need to start asking. "Why" "For What?"

In man's infinite struggle to One-Up his neighbor at an ever-increasing cost, all this has become hillarious to me. It doesn't matter what one says anymore, does it?

 

[MDWiley]

As expected from logitech, the prices are crazy. I'm just glad they FINALLY adopted magnetic switches though. Looking forward to seeing reviews!
