A custom modification aiming to reduce the weight of the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike gaming mouse by nearly 50 percent is currently in development by PMM, a specialist in mouse modding and weight reduction kits.
The Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike, released in early 2026, was designed with competitive esports in mind. Logitech highlighted the mouse’s innovative click technology and focus on minimizing latency and response times. The mouse, in its standard configuration, weighs between 59 and 61 grams and offers up to 90 hours of battery life with a wireless polling rate of up to 8,000 Hz, according to Logitech’s product page.
PMM’s project seeks to push the boundaries of lightweight mouse design by replacing the standard shell with a custom-designed, lighter alternative, typically 3D-printed. The company has a history of creating mod kits to reduce weight or alter the shape of popular gaming mice, utilizing materials like nylon PA12 for durability and print quality.
Reducing the weight of a mouse by almost half is a significant alteration. A reduction from around 60 grams to 30 grams would result in a device that requires less inertia to move, but may also become more sensitive to minor movements. This could be advantageous for some shooter game players, but potentially detrimental for others depending on their preferred sensitivity settings.
Modders and enthusiasts have reported that extreme weight reduction can fundamentally change the feel of a mouse, making it feel more like an extension of the fingers than an object being moved across a mousepad.
PMM’s approach focuses on preserving the internal components of the original mouse even as replacing the external shell. The company offers kits and modifications that essentially perform “cosmetic surgery” on gaming mice, retaining the original electronics and sensors.
The Superstrike is a particularly appealing target for modification due to its Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS), which aims to deliver faster, more configurable clicks with reduced latency. Combining this technology with a drastically reduced shell weight could create a mouse optimized for speed and responsiveness. But, significant weight reduction could also impact the rigidity, mass distribution, and overall feel of the mouse.
Extreme weight modifications often involve trade-offs. 3D-printed shells, while potentially durable, may not offer the same solidity as those produced through industrial molding processes. Changes in shell material can also affect grip, texture, and sweat dissipation. Modifying a mouse typically voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
As of February 20, 2026, details regarding the final weight, price, availability, and whether the modification will be offered as a DIY kit or a pre-assembled product remain unconfirmed. The key factors to watch for will be the actual weight achieved, the structural rigidity of the modified shell, and how the changes affect the user experience with the Superstrike’s unique click technology.
