it absolutely needs the support bar for the battery. mine fell off inside the superlight, and i had to reglue it, which isn't something i'd want to do on a mouse that costs 120 USD. never mind that i payed more for less of a mouse tbh. still my favourite mouse tho, but with compromises.
You rock Sir!!! Super useful as usual! At this point, I have learned the lesson to NEVER try to open/hack a mouse without first checking one of Beardedbob's tutorials.
great video! are you able to do the model o wireless teardown? im trying to figure out whether different switches are used in comparison the the wired model o.
I have done it on steam over on www.twitch.tv/beardedbob so if you aren't already following me nip over. I'll be releasing a edited version on here though in the next week or so, just keep your eye out for it.
Happy that you can interchange these because I have a ultralight shell coming in for a GPX and im planning to transfer internals from my GPXS to it and make it even lighter.
How that worked? I’m thinking of doing the same. I have a normal G Pro and am thinking of buying the Superlight case to make the mouse lighter with the least possible modifications. Mouses here in Brazil are super expensive.
Would you say the click's shell and the body shell are interchangeable with each other (gpw and gpx)? Even though you said they look identical, I'm wondering if you actually tried switching them around
Can the side buttons (not switches) from the GPX be used to replace the modular blue plastic/magnetic ones on the standard GPW? I tried looking but couldn't find any mention of somebody doing it. They look roughly the same but it's hard to eyeball how they'd all actually line up when assembled haha
Great vid as usual, Would you suggest changing the stock feet? I prefer fast feet like the tiger arc 2's or hyper glides, Will the superlights feet offer similar speed in your opinion?

Hello, my friend! Please tell me what kind of button is installed under the wheel of the g pro x superlight? I can't find it anywhere. There is also no way to measure the dimensions. :(( Thank you in advance!
I haven't got a squeaky switch to fix 😭... If someone sends me one I can do a video. To fix it add some keyboard lube to the switch and that should fix it.
Probably costs them like 20 bucks to make over there in China, and then sell it for $150 USDs. The shape is what I like about it, makes me aim better then 4 other mouse I've tried. Only thing comes close is razor viper but I don't like the grip of razor viper compared to G pro
I have a TSM G Pro and don't care about resell value. Could I swap the top shell from that onto a Superlight? It looks like enough of the screw holes align.
I can’t believe they kept the same switches 😒...just got my superlight 5 days ago and can’t get my aim on point...feel like is too light...probably I just need more time..thanks for the useful information.
I currently have the original GPW and it is working just fine... is it worth to upgrade to the GPW X SL? I play valorant pretty competitively and dont mind spending money if it will really improve my performance in game.
Tricky question, imo I wouldn't unless you want one or more of these things. 1. lighter mouse without modding your Stock GPW 2. you want a white one and don't want to buy the limited edition gpw. 3. 20m Omron switches The issue I have with the GPWSL is the main LMB & RMB switches, I can't live with these stock at all. In other nice these are ok but in this they feel so wrong and, even the 50m Omrons feel better. Still you can change them so its possible to get around it.
Hi sir, im using the Superlight right now and the M1/M2 are hard to press. I loved the Original clicks where the buttons were so light and responsive, the Omron 20m sort of changed the mouse for me. Just wondering what other choices do i have if i dont want to go for kailh gm4.0 or 8.0? I believe gm4.0 will be stiffer than omron 20m. Not sure about 8.0. How about Omron Japanese and Omron 10m?
@@Beardedbob Bob, to install Omron Japan D2F-01F you have to take away the switch plunger, then use the 50m or 20m plungers of the older switch to make it compatible, it's better than shaving off the higher plunger of the Japanese model. Ez mod.
I heard the PTFE part of the Superlight skates is only .2-.3mm thick when separated from the black adhesive layer. Wouldnt this wear down extremely quick?
could work well once you add some more adhesive they should be around 3to 4m. They will wear the same but at 2/3/4 mm they might be to low. Would have to test.
Unless you use a hard pad you really don’t have to worry about feet wearing out IMO. Never really happened to me before. (Unless you push down into your pad really hard, then maybe on a cloth pad)
it still works fine without it... the spring is to help prevent it from coming up when you scroll but i've never had an issue with it removed or heard of one.
@@Beardedbob does the wheel still randomly activate while having it binded as "jump" in game (bunnyhopping..)? The old version has that problem.. (basically, the wheel doesn't turn for a whole step and stops in between steps, it can be seen while browsing/scrolling too..)
bro removing only the blue piece where the magnets on the right side (not the switches) in the normal G pro W do you think this causes an imbalance in his weight? from what I saw the superlight has nothing counterbalancing on the right side where they removed the buttons and they say it is very well balanced. I'm thinking of doing a weight reduction on my GPW instead of buying a superlight
I’m not sure yet but I expect it was something I did, maybe to much heat as it’s a very thin pcb. I’ve another I’ll be testing on so we shall see very shortly.
i hate that logi puts the screws under the skates!. Mostly because their switches are bad quality and get double clicks issues, and we have to replace em
I opened it up and the battery wasn’t taped tightly. I pushed it to the mouse’s ceiling and thought that the tape wasn’t good enough but Then I tried to remove it and it won’t come off. Looks like that’s fixed but it’s weird that it came off in the first place if it’s that hard to take it off. 😂
This is the big question. My view is that these 20m Omron's have been in Logitech mice since the beginning of time and have failed. The new element is that these haven't been used before in the GPW range until recently when Logitech have swapped them out for the 50m Omron's. I'm certainly not confident that we wont see any issues with these switches but maybe something has changes that we aren't aware of. I'm personally changing mine anyway as I hate the feeling of the 20m's in this mouse, I preferred the 50m and I changed them.
@@Beardedbob I have Zowie FK1 at the moment and i love the feeling on clicks, never had issues. I would like to buy this logitech superlight because of its weight.

1. lighter mouse without modding your Stock GPW

3. 20m Omron switches

Now my real questions how do I buy a super light? It’s sold out and probably will be for a while
ebay is your only hope obiwan
Does taking out the magnets affect balance/weight distribution?
It will certainly change it. I'll check the balance in the review which will be out later today or tomorrow.
does anyone know what screwdriver you need to open the mouse?
Man what is up with the black holes, or whatever on the scroll wheel? My copy has it too.
How do you mean?
If they just added hemp or glasfiber reinforcement to the pcb and made it thinner it could have weighed a lot less.
Yep it’s a good idea
forgot to ask this during the stream but how tall is the scroll wheel encoder on the superlight?
Np, good to see you on the stream. Its the same as the stock GPW so 8mm
Hi sir, im using the Superlight right now and the M1/M2 are hard to press. I loved the Original clicks where the buttons were so light and responsive, the Omron 20m sort of changed the mouse for me.

Yeah they feel weird in the Gpwsl. You should be able to use any mechanical switch in it
The japanese d2f-01f works great if you swap the small plunger with a shorter one from the chinese omrons. They're light and crisp
Are the side buttons of the new one full sized micro switches?
No the same as the stock GPW
Is it still double clicking? Or the post and pre-travel changes mitigated that for good?
Only time will tell but on other mice the 20m Omrons do fail with Double click

same size in dims it seems but it does have a smaller ribbon cable connector and its also thinner
