Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Teardown: See What's Changed for 2023!

[@Beardedbob]

HERE'S THE OUTSIDE COMPARISON - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpfSnGaZgb6Apsk

[@borisyeltsin6606]

Roughly 4 years ago the switches gave out on my original go pro wireless and I relied on one of your vids to replace the microswitches. I've been following your channel ever since and have enjoyed modding so many mice alongside your various projects. When the GPX S2 was announced I told myself I wouldn't read a word about it until you uploaded your teardown and I got your thoughts on it. So stoked for this video, thanks BeardedBob! :)

[@Hk7762Tube]

Light switches is the beginning of end of some sirius moding. Thank you for the teardown, some of your older videos really helped me out a lot. Chears!

[@Beardedbob]

Glad to help

[@BMANZZS]

Wtf is Sirius moding?

[@akafoxter2421]

Superlight 1 has a well known scroll wheel issue. Seems like they changed the sensor there

[@nekosan01]

it's mechanical, this is the issue in all mices, because optical can work much longer but who will buy new mice then? )

[@KentRoads]

what changed: the battery now isn't glued down and flies around inside the mouse! (I've had 2 and they both rattled immediately)

[@KianFloppa]

support isnt replacing my broken superlight 2

[@Taziod]

Why must they put the screws directly under the god damn skates

[@Beardedbob]

yep again.... only Razer viper mini and OP1 haven't

[@daveeckblad]

Thanks for sharing this! I've been pondering moding a gaming mouse into a custom printed body similar to the MX Vert. Nobody currently makes a gaming vert mouse that's competent. This piece having the sensor and buttons on different boards would make a rather good candidate. Cheers!

[@BigSeanConnery]

Do you know what size the base screws are?

[@ADPfishing1]

by making a modification it is possible to add an extra side button to the g pro superlight 2 instead of two side switches 3 ??

[@Beardedbob]

No, the pcb doesn’t have the input. You would need another pcb that has a free one or like a g502 3 side buttons

[@Xerpocalypse_]

Looks like you could potentially fit an even larger battery if you wanted to, since it’s not as tightly constrained anymore. 600mAh anyone?

[@Beardedbob]

maybe, why not go 1000mah

[@frieza1016]

Logitech MX anywhere probably has a compatible 500mAh battery, although you will need to check the polarity (just in case) to make it work before plugging in.

[@Xerpocalypse_]

@@Beardedbobthe search for a compatible cell begins once I can get some replacement mouse feet!

[@Xerpocalypse_]

@@frieza1016Yeah that is definitely important, though I am comfortable terminating my own batteries. The middle sense wire seems important for Logitech batteries.

[@keybud_jlm]

Can I use the battery from my superlight 1 to my superlight 2?

[@벌꿀오소리-r4l]

thx, btw is the battery attached to the top firmly fixed?

[@Garrett1974]

Decided to put a 1500mAh inside my Superlight 1... and silent switches (left and right only) man it's awesome now... I don't need it to be super duper light, 86g is light enough for me :) Oh and some rubber grips, really nice 👌

[@topsidz]

how to fix my superlight 2 rattling battery?

[@Matt54321]

been waiting for this one, thx!

[@Beardedbob]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@summelofficial2378]

Can the mouse switch be replaced like Kailh?

[@summelofficial2378]

​@@LokeKQ I don't think so. because the switch pins are different like kailh, omron

[@Beardedbob]

Nope, no other switch fits it atm this is it

[@LokeKQ]

@@BeardedbobYeah, however nothing can stop Bob from making it happen.

[@OdiumTV]

same omron side switches: double clicks up the wazoo

[@ppeez]

Which omrom switches are they? Normal blue dot?

[@SavyTV]

Can the GPX 2 PCB be placed onto a GPX 3D printed base? I have an extra and adding that onto the new GPX 2 would be huge!

[@Beardedbob]

Nope different mounts

[@SavyTV]

@@BeardedbobDamn! That’s unfortunate! Well I guess we’ll have to wait for them to get made. Was thinking about making some myself!

[@gachu_]

can u still mod the mouse switches? can u replace them with popular existing switches?

[@Beardedbob]

Nope not at the moment

[@peterenis4752]

@@Beardedbob So you cant use different mechanical switches to work for GPX S2? Those standard ones are rly loud.

[@Seas0nedChef]

Is it me or do the bases look different? The GPX S2 look a little less wide than the GPX S1

[@LokeKQ]

No, 100% identical.

[@Beardedbob]

Some changes but similar size

[@frieza1016]

1:22 wait, really ??? The 2 screws on the back don't seem to be in the same position has the V1... My eyes deceived me ?

[@Beardedbob]

they have moved a few position for the posts and screws, u can't swap the bases

[@frieza1016]

@@Beardedbob Welp, thats a shame... I hope the battery is swappable at least (without modding of course).

[@Beardedbob]

Yep at least we can still change that

[@ernestjoenes]

Thank you for the content!🔥

[@Beardedbob]

My pleasure!

[@sopot44]

link to the new skates?

[@lnbabz]

Thank you Bob! I will put in my black GPX side buttons in my white GPX2! Was wondering if it was the same design and your video helped a lot.

[@MorrTex]

what jst connector size does the gpx2 battery use?

[@BeastofBrooklyn]

Just ordered a white to super light 1. Doesn’t seem good enough to pay double for this one

[@robertojustus8567]

Even the super light 1 is pushing it, overated mice for sure

[@Sendseii]

Could you swap the sensor from the g pro x superlight 2 into the gpro x superlight? To potentially take advantage of the 2000 HZ polling rate but keep the same switches? I might be way off here but just a thought 🤔

[@Sendseii]

Or maybe an adapter for the gprp x superlight pcb connector? I'm trying to see if there is a way I can use the new sensor without losing the kailh GM 8.0 switches in my original superlight haha

[@Beardedbob]

No as the pcb is different. If you mean swap the pcb’s around maybe, though I think I tried this on stream and it wasn’t the same so a new base is needed

[@Sendseii]

Interesting. Thanks for the reply and context! I wonder if anyone has 3d printed a base for that reason. Probably not since the market may be small haha. Thanks again!

[@ANTIPHXBIA-Off]

this mouse should be called "Logitech Gpro x Superlight Remastered"

[@Beardedbob]

Haha, not bad 😝

[@SMNSWPS]

I have a red superlight 1. Would it be possible to swap the housing to the new superlight 2?

[@Lex90909]

are they both usb-c?

[@seattlebicycler3657]

My question that no reviewer seems to touch on … are the new hybrid/optical switches faster when playing a FPS game or are they the same as the original Superlight? That really is the main difference in the two different versions of the mouse but nobody ever seems to review that aspect of the two. Why damnit why??? 😁

[@Rodawg10]

Are the side buttons mushy like the gpx 1 on the 2?

[@Beardedbob]

Yep, zero changes

[@nekosan01]

Mechanical encoder on the wheel in mouse for 150$ what a waste of money

[@MikeBravos]

I bought a hot swap pcb board and a few switches for my Superlight 2. What height scroll wheel encoder and 2 pin switch I need? Do I need to soldier those too?

[@TifaBiH]

I'm looking for a middle mouse button switch. Are the dimensions 6x6x5.2 mm? The encoder is 8 mm.

[@NWGCroler]

Can you please tell me from where I can get a Superlight 2 Shell I want to change my white Superlight 2 to Black Shell

[@illla]

AliExpress

[@domutsumi4745]

Hi dude! Wondering if you could tell us the scroll wheel measurements?...Im thinking of swapping mine Pulsar X2 but we have just GPROX scroll wheel rubber available on the market and it doesn't indicate the diameter size... Tks

[@awfullawton4470]

Is the middle mouse button optical switch, any idea mate ?

[@Beardedbob]

It’s not

[@awfullawton4470]

@@Beardedbob thanks for reply. Do you by any chance know if the viper v2 pro middle mouse button is optical? I dont know how to find out.

[@dimxdxd]

does the superlight 2 has any kind of lubed on the scroll wheel because of more silent feeling? thank you

[@Beardedbob]

Not that I’ve noticed it’s the same

[@dimxdxd]

thank you!@@Beardedbob

[@IazyOvO]

Optical switch mean I cant mod another switch right ?

[@Beardedbob]

this optical you can use another optical version but its very hard, I've swapped a few... but other brands you can't atm.

[@the-jext]

Bro i feel like a spring kinda weird inside the left click on my gpx2, is it normal? The right one is pretty solid, like when it comes out of the box, but the left one is kinda weird, idk how to explain, but i feel like a small spring with some slack inside the switch. Idk if i should try to replace it or no. Can anyone help me? (I got the mouse 1 week and 1 day ago, i guess that wasnt enought time to get that problem)

[@masterninjahh]

put something tall on the scale then tare it to weigh the magnets

[@93SupaFly]

was wondering if that bottom puck, i can use those modded qi wireless puck ? because i saw alot of those standing charger for gpx and gpw in my region Shopee

[@ahn220]

Hi there, I'm curious if it's possible to interchange the housings/shell between Superlight 1 and 2? (for colour combination lol)

[@Beardedbob]

There are some different mount points but worth checking the teardown it compares them and the pcb,base

[@crybabyeliot]

Does anyone know if the new mouse is compatible with power play mats?

[@Beardedbob]

It can take the power play button yes

[@SLiPiEiFy]

@Beardedbob I want to know if i bought a PCB from ali express with hotswap, is it simply usuable?

[@Beardedbob]

No idea will have to test them

[@CRAiCED.]

Not enough is the answer

[@Beardedbob]

haha agreed

[@woswasdenni1914]

so still no proper battery retention system. again every battery will fall down and go somwhere within the case. now we have to find aftermarket skates before we have to open and repair that .... all that for double the price on amazonia

[@maxair95]

Well, they might just call it Superlight Refresh instead of Superlight 2

[@Beardedbob]

Superlight v1,1

[@woswasdenni1914]

they might call it the superlight that should have been 4 years ago

[@jayturgeon]

My gpx 2 have a different encoder than yours.

[@Beardedbob]

Intersting

[@lostboy2637]

Both are TTC White, yours has a blue dust cover.

[@crimsom2977]

wish I didnt spend $300 cad on a defective V1, I hate giving logitech money for making defective products.

[@gauss_wyo]

more like a lazy refresh rather than a new version, it seems

[@Beardedbob]

V1.1

[@LegitoTV]

the textured finish on the bottom sides is a downgrade and they obviously did it to save cost. Atrocious for a mouse that costs 50 euros more than the previous one which was also overpriced

[@dunderdotten]

on my V1 the thumb buttons are really getting bad :/ need to press really hard for them to make contact

[@gustavow21]

Uh i mean yeah its kinda of a saturated market

[@Beardedbob]

Very atm
