What published reviews found
TechRadar liked the light construction, tracking precision and minimalist look, and reported that the battery lasted about a week of heavy use. It also criticized the small shape for offering little palm support during long sessions, the missing DPI button and the proprietary micro-USB cable.
ProSettings focused on the sensor and the shell. It described pixel-accurate tracking with no smoothing or angle snapping, larger PTFE skates than the earlier G PRO Wireless, and a solid shell despite the weight savings. It said a 62 g mouse with a rechargeable battery "really does deserve the title of being super light." Its complaints were minor button wobble when pressed off-center, no physical profile switch and the micro-USB port, which it called a missed opportunity.
Laptop Mag judged the price-to-performance ratio fair for new buyers but a hard sell for owners of the G PRO Wireless. It also noted that DPI figures at the top of the range matter little in practice. Custom PC went further, saying it could claim to be the best mouse on the market for right-handed FPS players, while pointing out the stiff, unbraided cable and the high price.
Engadget's coverage of the successor is useful context. It reported that the Superlight 2 adds USB-C, a Hero 2 sensor, 2000 Hz polling and a 95-hour battery at about 60 g.
Price and availability
TechRadar and Laptop Mag listed a launch price of $149.99 (Engadget cited $159 for the Superlight 2). The original model has since been replaced by the Superlight 2, so stock and pricing on the first generation vary by retailer. Street prices change often, so check current listings or our gaming mouse deals before buying. We do not list a current price here because none of the sources we read give one.
Who it's for
This mouse suits right-handed FPS players who want very low weight and a right-handed shape, especially if they find it at a discount. TechRadar noted limited palm support, so confirm the shape works for your grip.
Skip it if you are left-handed, want a USB-C port, or need extra buttons for MMO or productivity use. In that case, look at the Superlight 2 if the price gap is small, or compare shapes in our Superlight vs Razer Viper Ultimate guide. For a cheaper wired option with a different shape, see the Razer DeathAdder V3.
Bottom line
Outlets agree on the strengths: very low weight, a precise sensor and long battery life. The same outlets agree on the drawbacks: a micro-USB port, a right-handed shape and a premium price. Today the main question is whether a discounted first-generation unit beats paying more for the Superlight 2, and that depends entirely on the price gap you find.
