1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,240
Here at Shortcircuit, we unbox a ton of mice, but it's rare I get to unbox the

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:10,080
successor to the mouse I use at home. That's right, I use a G Pro X

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:15,880
Superlight, and this is the G Pro X Superlight 2C, which is a name that is

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:20,000
too long. It is wild. How did they think that was acceptable? The thing that

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,120
makes this special is the C at the end of the 2C.

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:27,600
>> [music] >> It's compact. It's cool. It's crazy. The

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:33,360
C stands for all of those things. Inside the box, you get your mouse. You get

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:35,040
your C to A adapter plus your A

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:40,360
dongle. You get a cable. This is

10
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,960
nicer packaging than I feel like I've seen for a while with mice. I feel like

11
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:47,600
they've been getting cheaper and cheaper under the guise of environmentally

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,720
friendly, but this is pretty slick packaging, not too

13
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:54,680
restrictive, either. At the end, you're kind of left with a semi-reusable box.

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:59,640
We have our quick start guide and instruction manual. We also have grip

15
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:04,239
tape. That seems to be a a trend that's happening more and more. No extra

16
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:09,680
skates, which actually I would prefer over the grip tape, but you do have a

17
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:12,520
different bottom uh with glide skates on

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:17,840
it because what's installed in the mouse is actually just an ad for an additional

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,240
product that you don't have. This is

20
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:24,320
stupid waste of money. Why would they include an extra disc that is just

21
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,520
objectively worse than the one

22
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:29,920
with the glide skates on it. That doesn't make any sense. Get it together,

23
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:34,720
Logitech. Next, we have what seems to be a 6-ft long

24
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:38,720
non-braided cable, just rubber. It's decent quality, but it is certainly not

25
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,240
what I would hope to see in such a high-end product. It's fine. It's just a

26
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:49,320
cable, and you're probably not even going to use it anyway. You probably already have >> [music] >> a type-C cable coming off your computer

27
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:54,160
to your mouse to charge. You're fine. The grip tape has a sort of like

28
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:56,360
rubberized leather sort of feel. I don't

29
00:01:54,160 --> 00:02:01,000
use it. I have fairly sweaty hands, but not so sweaty that I really need

30
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:05,120
that in my life. I also find these get so grimy and gross

31
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,720
on top of the normal grimy and grossness that mice get. So, bye-bye.

32
00:02:08,119 --> 00:02:15,120
Here we go. This is what you need in the box. We did it. And the star of the show, the

33
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:19,440
mouse. At first glance, I would not blame you for not being able to tell the

34
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:24,080
difference between a regular Superlight and this. They are basically the exact

35
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:28,480
same shape shrunk down, but not even shrunk down to

36
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:33,280
a super high level where it's immediately obvious that it's a smaller

37
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,920
mouse. Even in my hand, it's like yeah,

38
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:39,520
I was literally using a G Pro upstairs, and this is smaller, but it's not that

39
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,240
much smaller. What I will say is that I'm more naturally inclined to claw grip

40
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,400
this size of mouse. Even with that subtle difference, it is a difference in

41
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:50,880
grip. And really, with mice being the way they are,

42
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,560
the shape of it is the biggest differentiating factor between all of

43
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,880
the high-end mice, as well as price. And so, this might be

44
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:02,800
a good option for you if you've held a G Pro and you're like, "Ah, it's just >> [music] >> a little too big." You might be

45
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:09,080
interested in this. You might also be interested in these buttons. They are

46
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:12,760
about as travelly as I have felt in a long time on a gaming mouse.

47
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:17,720
Every part of this button, it feels like it's like really moving, which could be good for

48
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,320
you, could be bad for you, but that's really noticeable how much travel we

49
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:25,440
got. This button experience is due in part to Logitech's proprietary

50
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:30,160
Lightforce switches, which seem to be a hybrid optical-mechanical switch, which

51
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:35,480
they are not clear exactly what's going on there, and they don't tell you how many clicks it's rated for, which is a

52
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,640
bit of a bummer in a world where we're getting like 80 million click switches.

53
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:44,360
I expect this to probably be in the 10 to 20 million range cuz that's what

54
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:49,280
they've had on previous mice, and that kind of sucks in a world where our mice

55
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,800
are very performance way beyond what we

56
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:56,040
need, reliability is becoming one of the main factors in why you would spend so

57
00:03:53,800 --> 00:04:00,000
much on a gaming [music] mouse. The scroll wheel feels pretty good in its

58
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,280
scrolling tactility. The clicking is kind of mushy and

59
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:08,360
crappy, not the best. On the side, we have two side buttons. They're a lighter

60
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:14,120
click than the top uh and a pretty consistent

61
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,959
experience across the shape of them. If I was to claw grip this, what I'm

62
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:22,320
finding immediately with the shape is that both the side buttons

63
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:26,080
and especially the scroll wheel are really far forward. Like, if you look at

64
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:30,880
this in the top down, it feels like the scroll wheel should be a little further

65
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:34,680
back based on at least where my fingers naturally land on this thing. Like, not

66
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,560
a big deal. I can reach that, but it's like it would be nice if I could just go

67
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:41,480
here for my scroll wheel experience. So, don't love the side buttons' positions.

68
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,800
What I do love is the amount of PTFE glide skates on the bottom. Look at

69
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:48,840
that. That's like barely even a mouse. It's more glide

70
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:52,520
skate than mouse, man. That's crazy. You could swap it out for the one without

71
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,440
it. You would presumably save less than a gram. I don't see any reason not to

72
00:04:54,280 --> 00:05:01,440
use this if you don't have the power play puck. They keep things simple on the bottom with just a on-off switch,

73
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:06,920
which means that there is no Bluetooth mode. It is just using a dongle with 2.4

74
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:09,760
GHz or a wired mode through the type-C

75
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:14,400
port on the front. It is fairly recessed in there. You might have struggles not

76
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:17,320
using this type-C cable, but it is a fairly chunky type-C cable, so I think

77
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:24,160
it should your experience should be fine. Other than that and a little bit of branding on the side and top, it is a

78
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:28,360
ridiculously simple-looking mouse, and that is part of its success. It is a

79
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:32,000
no-nonsense machine with a focus on getting the engineering right to have it

80
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:37,360
be a very light experience. This is a 51-g mouse without the dongle inside,

81
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:41,400
which means that it's on the lighter end of gaming mice, but it is not on the

82
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:45,480
cutting edge of high-end gaming mice in terms of weight.

83
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,760
However, we're so far past the point of diminishing returns. If this is the

84
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:54,120
shape that you are in love with or you're Logitech faithful, I think 51 g

85
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:58,480
is very sufficient. What you can also expect at the high end is an incredible

86
00:05:56,280 --> 00:06:06,040
sensor. We have the Hero 2 sensor up to 44,000 DPI, 888 IPS, and 88 Gs of

87
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,920
acceleration. This is far beyond what

88
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:12,280
you need for your mouse to be good. Up to 95 hours of battery life, as well as

89
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:17,000
an 8K Hz polling rate if you're into that kind of thing. And that's kind of

90
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:21,320
it. And that's fine. Gaming mice don't have to have a ton of features to do

91
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:26,680
what they do really well. You just want a good shape, good materials,

92
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:30,600
reliability, solid sensor, and this has it. But does it have what it takes to be

93
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:35,080
special? Let's find out after we tell you about our sponsor. UGREEN. Are you

94
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:39,320
sick of paying out the wazoo for cloud storage? Maybe it's time to switch to a

95
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:46,440
NAS. With a UGREEN NAS, you can store up to 60 TB of data locally. That's 20

96
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:50,960
million pictures, 40,000 movies, or over 60 million files, whatever that means.

97
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:55,240
Plus, you can use it to automatically back up from your iPhone or Mac, share

98
00:06:53,520 --> 00:07:00,760
files with your family and friends, and you can even connect instantly via NFC

99
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:04,320
on most devices. 1 gigabit networking means that you'll be transferring a

100
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:08,240
whole gig worth of files in just a few seconds, much quicker than cloud

101
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:12,800
options, and it's compatible with a wide range of third-party hard drives. And

102
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:17,400
thanks to RAID redundancy, your files can be safe even during a drive failure.

103
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:22,880
So, head to our link in the description to check out the UGREEN NAS DH2300

104
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:26,200
today. Excellent. Once we install the software, we can connect the mouse and

105
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,360
configure it. We don't even have to plug it in directly. Big fan of that.

106
00:07:28,025 --> 00:07:33,000
>> [music] >> Tells us what we got, just so we can be happy we can be happy with our purchase.

107
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:39,720
I'm going to skip that, though. I don't need that. Okay, first thing we can do

108
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:42,160
is change our DPI settings. I'm guessing

109
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:45,560
there's a button combo for like profile switching, but I don't see

110
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,280
I don't see that. Why am I getting so overwhelmed by this menu for a very

111
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,640
simple mouse? Once we're in our software, we can adjust our different

112
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:58,400
profiles. There's already a ton here. I'm surprised. It's kind of overwhelming

113
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:01,760
how many there are. We can set if we want lots of different DPI settings that

114
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,320
we can assign to a button or a button

115
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:09,920
combination of our keyboard and mouse, so we can swap between them. I will not

116
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:14,040
be doing that. I wish to only use one slot, and it will be 800. We can also

117
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:19,680
change our wireless report rate up to 8,000 and our wired report rate up to

118
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:23,760
1,000. Bit of a bummer. We can also calibrate our Hero sensor. Oh, that's

119
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:27,400
something that's not super common. Copy sensitivity. Adjust one mouse to mimic

120
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,640
the feel of another mouse. Okay, so the Hero sensor calibration isn't like a

121
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,880
calibrating so much as a [music] matching the feel of another mouse.

122
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,919
That's kind of interesting, but I will not be doing that. You can also swap it

123
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:42,800
to advanced mode, which uh basically gives you access to having

124
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:46,920
different sensitivity on the Y and X axis, as well as your your lift-off

125
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:54,120
distance. [music] And then we can like duplicate our presets, share our presets, uh you know, like the you and

126
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:59,120
the boys do on Facebook. You're like, "Check out my DPI settings."

127
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:03,720
Next, we can change the assignments. Um it looks like we can assign mouse

128
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:08,760
functions to button combos. Um this is very deep, but uh this is not

129
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:12,960
what we need. Um and seeing as there is no RGB on this mouse, shout out Logitech

130
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:17,600
for the right decision. Then we can change our scroll

131
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:22,280
wheel. Oh, so we can turn on bunny hop mode, which basically uh means that you

132
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:26,480
have to scroll twice to actually kind of activate it. Uh I don't want to do that

133
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:29,720
because I will just be like down one at a time for my weapon

134
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:34,160
selection. Oh, I actually really like this menu. We can see the approximate uh

135
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:38,360
battery life based on our settings that we have, which is about 18 hours because

136
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:43,400
we're using 8,000 Hz polling rate. Lightforce switch mode. Oh, so it's

137
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:47,520
either hybrid, which I'm guessing engages just the mechanical part, and

138
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:50,816
then optical only, which presumably would actually save me battery life

139
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,720
based on this power saving. >> [music] >> Gaming surface mode. If I turn it on,

140
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:59,200
sensor parameters are optimized for gaming-specific surfaces.

141
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:03,880
Okay. Off. sensor parameters are optimized for compatibility with a wide

142
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:07,320
range of surfaces. And auto, sensor will automatically [music] detect the type of

143
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:12,720
surface. Well, I only game on gaming surfaces that I get from lttstore.com,

144
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:16,720
so I'm going to choose that. And onboard memory mode and then I have

145
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,920
my different profile things. Okay. Uh,

146
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:23,720
strange that the most exciting part of the menu was the like system menu that

147
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:27,080
was sort of hidden away. Um, but I really like that one, so

148
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:32,080
that's great. But will I really like it a lot when I play games?

149
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:35,760
Huh. Immediately in game, this is a very

150
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:40,440
familiar experience for me. Uh, I use a superlight. Uh, this feels very

151
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:46,120
very similar, slightly smaller, so I'm clawing it a little bit more. Responsiveness is great. The accuracy is

152
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:52,200
great as we tested it. The latency is also great. We tested it both wired and

153
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:54,320
wireless at 1.31 milliseconds, which is

154
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:59,560
not sub 1 millisecond, which is sort of the ideal. Um, but this is still very

155
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:04,200
good. It is interesting that both wired and wireless are exactly the same,

156
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,760
although we had uh, a wider scatter on

157
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:09,000
the wired testing. So we don't know if that's like a crosstalk thing or maybe

158
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:13,160
it's just an optimization over wireless sort of thing. Um, cuz I'm

159
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,960
guessing that Logitech has optimized this mouse to be used in wireless mode

160
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:20,560
more than a wired mode. Why would you buy this and use it in wired mode? One thing I'm interested in that the Labs

161
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:25,280
noted is that they were sometimes getting right clicks when they pressed

162
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:30,560
really hard on the left click. Oh, you can sort of see the flex.

163
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,440
So you can see the whole mouse

164
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:37,680
is kind of shifting a little bit. And they were reporting that sometimes they

165
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,280
would get phantom clicks on the right side.

166
00:11:40,839 --> 00:11:46,040
So that's something that's kind of interesting.

167
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:50,760
I have a feeling that if you have a very very heavy hand, that's the only time it would be an issue. I was pressing pretty

168
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:56,320
hard. The other thing they noted was that it's a very loud sound. That goes with

169
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,600
the amount of click and travel that there is.

170
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:03,040
It kind of has a little bit of like a ping, almost a musical tone to it.

171
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:11,643
So that means this really would not be a good office mouse if you share an office

172
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,760
with someone who is sensitive to sounds. >> [laughter]

173
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:19,160
>> It's really hard to give first impressions on mice because

174
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:23,800
they're all so solid these days. Like they they keep refreshing them and

175
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:28,600
updating them when we already reached end game mice

176
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:32,400
several years ago. To me, it's getting frustrating that they're spending so

177
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:37,960
much money on designing these new mice and providing so little upgrade versus

178
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:42,640
previous years mice. Um, especially when it's $160

179
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:47,160
now. $160 for a high-end gaming mice, not even top

180
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:51,760
end, just like that's just the zone it's in. And so I think this is a very solid

181
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:55,528
option. If you've always liked the G Pro lineup, you wanted an X

182
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,880
uh, a superlight, >> [music] >> this is good if you wanted it to be a

183
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:04,240
little bit smaller and a little bit more clawable. Um, but it really doesn't rewrite the

184
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,520
book, which is good. That's there's a reason why this lineup was one of the most popular lineups.

185
00:13:07,319 --> 00:13:13,720
>> [music] >> Um, but in a world where other manufacturers are kind of disrupting the

186
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:17,240
market aggressively, it's hard to recommend this specifically when you can

187
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,800
get a Hitman Hyperlight or any of the Keychron mice. I didn't realize they

188
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:25,480
made as broad of a lineup as they did. It's crazy. It'll have similar specs at

189
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:30,320
prices that are much more digestible. We're talking like

190
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,960
90 bucks or 40 to 70 dollars. And if you

191
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,484
want to go even cheaper and stick with Logitech, they have the G305 Lightspeed

192
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,640
for >> [music] >> prices I've seen under $30.

193
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,960
And you're not going to get that different of real world performance.

194
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,280
Certainly not something that I think would justify the price difference.

195
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:52,040
However, [music] if $160 is not a deterrent to you and

196
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:56,600
you were looking for a slightly smaller mouse, this is a very solid option that

197
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:59,280
I think you could check out and look a little bit more deeper at.

198
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:08,120
Uh, just like you can go a little bit more deeper in our catalog, like the time that I unboxed the ASUS Harp 2 Ace

199
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:15,000
Extreme. God, these names. What are they doing with these names? Keep it simple.

200
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,000
Keep it simple, stupid.
