Review
The PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 supports an 8,000 Hz wireless report rate. Its SE sibling is limited to 1,000 Hz with its supplied receiver, but that is not their only published specification difference. Choose the higher rate only if it helps your games without hurting frame stability.
Running at 8,000 Hz takes Logitech’s G HUB software, and the company’s help pages tie high report rates to frame drops on some PCs. Its battery rating doesn’t name the report rate behind it.

Worth considering if you want a 60 g mouse and will use its higher report rates on a PC that stays stable. The SE has a slower supplied receiver and different published sensor limits.
Logitech's US store page supplied the spec table, the box contents, the switch rating and the feature text with the higher DPI figure. Logitech's support specifications for the SUPERLIGHT 2 and the SE gave the model and receiver numbers and the report rates that set the two apart. Its help articles on high report rates and on the Windows pointer setting are the basis for the advice in the first two sections.
Logitech supplies every figure, and it tested the sensor's speed and acceleration on a G640 pad of its own make. Our arithmetic turns the battery rating into weeks of play.
We have no independent measurement of the SUPERLIGHT 2's battery life at any report rate, its click latency or its sensor tracking. Logitech's pages disagree on the maximum DPI, so the review gives each page's figure.
The receiver in the box carries up to 8,000 reports a second, one every 0.125 ms. Logitech lists that top rate among the features that need G HUB, where the setting sits on the Performance tab as Report Rate. An extension adapter in the box lets the receiver sit on the desk near the mouse.
Logitech's help page on frame drops says some players see a lower frame rate above 1,000 Hz, because the extra USB traffic loads the system. Its fix is to lower the rate. Our pick is to start at 1,000 Hz and move to a higher polling rate only in a game that holds its frame rate.
Logitech rates the battery for 95 hours of constant motion without naming the report rate. Dividing that rating by three hours a day gives about a month, purely as an illustration under the rating's conditions. It cannot establish runtime at 8,000 Hz. Charging is by USB-C or a separately sold POWERPLAY mat.
Logitech lists the SE with the same MR0097 model number, weight and LIGHTFORCE switch type, but lower sensor limits and a 1,000 Hz supplied receiver. Shared identifiers do not prove identical hardware. Compare the actual prices and features if you would stay at 1,000 Hz.
Logitech's US store spec table gives the HERO 2 sensor a ceiling of 32,000 DPI. The same page's feature text says up to 44,000 DPI, and so does Logitech's support specification, which still names the sensor "HERO 2 25K".
The tracking figures say more about fast flicks than either ceiling. Logitech rates the sensor above 888 IPS (inches per second, the fastest movement it follows) and 88 G of acceleration, both tested on its own G640 pad. For the SE it lists the store table's lower DPI ceiling and over 500 IPS.
G HUB sets sensitivity separately for the X and Y axes and lets you adjust lift-off distance, the height at which the sensor stops tracking. Logitech's help center adds that the Windows setting Enhance pointer precision can make the DPI shift when you change the wireless report rate. It recommends turning that setting off under Pointer Options.
Logitech's support specification gives the mouse as 125 mm long and 60 g. It has five buttons, and Logitech's renders put two of them on the left side. Settings live in onboard memory, though Logitech notes that the advanced features need G HUB. The feet are no-additive PTFE.
Under the main buttons sit LIGHTFORCE switches, which Logitech calls hybrid optical-mechanical and rates for 70 million clicks.
The box adds optional grip tape and a spare aperture door with its own PTFE foot. On a mouse this light, those two extras are worth having, and the SE's box leaves both out.

This review gives no score out of 10, because no section rests on a measurement by an independent body. The recommendation and the written verdict stand on their own.
The higher report-rate ceiling is the clearest reason to consider the SUPERLIGHT 2 over the SE. The sensor specifications and supplied accessories also differ. Neither a shared model number nor matching weight proves the two are one mouse with a different receiver.
Our take
Use the higher rate as a feature to evaluate in your own games, not a guarantee of better play. If frame rates fall or you stay at 1,000 Hz, compare less expensive options before paying for a capability you will not use.
Logitech lists the 8,000 Hz top rate among the features that need its G HUB software, where the setting sits on the Performance tab as Report Rate.
Logitech's support specifications give the SE a slower receiver, lower sensor limits and a box with only the mouse, a cable and a manual.
