Key Takeaways

  • Logitech upgrades all Hero 2 sensor-equipped mice to match its latest model's specs.
  • Pro X Superlight 2 Dex Lightspeed’s specs now include 44K DPI and 888 IPS.
  • A software update in October will roll out the enhanced features across Logitech’s gaming mice lineup.

At its annual Logi Play conference, Logitech announced a major upgrade to its entire lineup of gaming mice. 

All models now have the Hero 2 sensor, the same advanced technology found in its newly launched G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex Lightspeed mouse.

This move means that even older models will receive a boost in performance, offering gamers top-tier sensitivity and tracking.

Hero 2 Sensor’s Performance Boost

According to the announcement, Logitech’s latest wireless gaming mouse, the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex Lightspeed, is equipped with the Hero 2 sensor capable of reaching 44,000 DPI and 888 IPS.

These features promise more precise movement tracking and greater sensitivity control.

However, Logitech has confirmed that this upgrade isn’t limited to its new model alone. A software update set for release in October will unlock the same 44K DPI and 888 IPS capabilities in all existing Hero 2 sensor-equipped mice.

The Pro X Superlight 2 currently supports up to 32,000 DPI and a maximum speed of 500 IPS, already placing it among the top-performing mice in the gaming market.

But with the forthcoming update, users will experience even faster and more accurate movement tracking.

To access these new specs, users must connect their devices to Logitech’s G Hub software, which controls customization options like DPI settings, lighting, and profiles.

DPI (dots per inch) determines a mouse’s sensitivity, with higher DPI values resulting in greater cursor movement per inch of physical movement.

This gives gamers more control over the responsiveness of their mouse, particularly in fast-paced gaming environments.

On the other hand, IPS (inches per second) measures the mouse’s tracking speed, with higher values indicating the device’s ability to keep up with quick movements without losing precision.
