Everyone is Trying to Kill the Superlight 2

  • For years, mouse manufacturers have been competing to dethrone the reigning kings, Logitech.
    The G Pro and the Superlight are some of the best-selling gaming mice ever produced and even years after their release companies are still trying to steal Logitech’s thunder.
    But the days of the Superlight’s dominance might be coming to an end. Many manufacturers are stuffing their mice with new features, and they think that 4K polling rates will get you to switch to their products.
    But are we really entering a new era for gaming mice? Are 4K mice actually worth it, and can anyone take down Logitech?

Yes, most pros use GPX, because its the oldest mice like that with very safe shape and there is something called SPONSORSHIP, which is the biggest reason for all of this.

    for a long time, mice sensors performed best at 400 DPI. (less drift at all speeds) But with the current gen sensors like focus+, and or HERO, the sensors the 'best' DPI has moved up. Like focus+ you really want to be at at least 800 DPI. And there is a slight improvement going up to 1600 DPI. If you adjust your settings right 800 DPI can feel the same as 400 DPI. Same thing with 1600 DPI.

    • @irussao
      @irussao Před 10 měsíci +3

      you crank up the dpi and reduce the sensitivity in game settings to have the same "total value", for instance, lets say you have your dpi set to 400 and game sens to 10, so your total value is 4000, you could have the same thing by setting your dpi to 2000 and the game sens to 2, same total value, by doing this u remove the software control of the game and have it mostly on your mouse, if its a good mouse, it just feel better, it feels more smooth, imho it just works better, if you test it doing the otherwise, u can see that high sens and low dpi on game skip pixels, while low sens and high dpi does not.

    if we're talking about polling rate, let's not forget that the viper v2 pro and deathadder v3 pro initially released with compatibility of up to 1KHz polling rate
    this is because the dongle razer sold that allowed up to 4KHz polling rate was sold months after their release, and was sold separately
    so if logitech's superlight 2 can go up to 2KHz it's not the end of the world, maybe their MCU is capable of binding to a 4KHz, 8KHz, or even a 16KHz dongle that logitech can release in the future
    let's not doubt logitech, they were the same company who were at the forefront of developing lightspeed wireless tech

    For me, the killer was the fact that the performance between the gpx1 and gpx2 is negligible (less than 5% better click latency on double the polling rate), and the fact that they charge so much money for it compared to the competition. I do understand why they went for 2khz though, because, like Pwnage said in their posts about their Stormbreaker, 2khz is the sweet spot between better mouse performance, without hurting battery life and game performance, plus, there are still games out there, that don't play very well on 4khz.

    If you didn’t know windows updated their scheduling for a higher polling rate mouse to run effectively without impacting gaming performance as it has. I had massive stutters in Apex running at 4k on the Viper V2 Pro with a 4090 and 13900k. Put it at 2k and it was much better, though I still had issues holding 300fps at 1440p (which the 4090 and 13900k can do easily). They released this update late spring or early summer and it completely fixed the issue. So yes it hits the cpu but the big issue was the scheduling in windows, and that’s been fixed. I now run at the 4k polling in every game with absolutely no issues. This needs to be talked about as it’s a huge point of consideration when making a purchasing decision, and it doesn’t seem to be common knowledge at this point.

    even if 4k polling rate is very niche and not that noticeable they should have implemented it in the G pro X superlight 2 and if someone doesn't like 4k polling rate or their CPU is handling it badly then they can just turn it back down to 1k polling rate.
    also make it so 1k Hertz is the default option with a warning on the 4k option just so the 15yr old kid mentioned in the video isnt getting screwed over ....

    I have found a clip on youtube the has the same problem as I where the left click, whilst held down does not register as so. This causes me to do a spary pattern with only 1-2 bullets shooting out. And if I keep holding it down, it will randomly start shooting again.

    The "Polling Rate" argument is honestly sounding a lot like a repeat of monitor refresh rate of 60hz vs 144hz to now establishing that 240hz is the #1 must win way to go etc etc. (Even though you still need 'hardware' that can push that). They're definitely NOT the same tech.
