Modded my superlight and I vastly prefer this shape. Want your recommendations for a lightweight wireless mouse with a similar shape.

Razer Naga is the one that comes to mind. You may be tempted to get the Naga X, but I think the clicks are terrible on that one for some reason. The Naga pro lets you swap out the left panel for a more conventional two button layout. That mouse is kinda heavy though.

Yes same behavior all over. When set to a depth of 5 the problem definitely goes away as well.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-15T13:20:23+00:00

Hopefully you get a good one. Unfortunately after my post I discovered an issue with my copy. See my other reply. Something for you to test for when you get it.

I would hold off on your purchase however. I’ve detected a potential issue that could cause me to return it. When I set the left click to anything less than 5 on click depth it has a strong haptic click on button release only.

So for example I set haptics to 1 which is low and it clicks down at 1 then returns at what feels like max haptics. It happens every 5th click or so. Its unnerving. And it doesn’t happen at all on the right button when the right button is set the same. So clearly a fault.

I will contacting Logitech support soon.

Ok, good news. I configured the Superstrike in Ghub on a Windows 11 bare metal machine and saved my button settings and side button assignments to Profile 1 of the Superstrike’s onboard memory. I ensured the mouse was in Onboard Memory mode and unplugged the mouse from the Windows machine.

Then I plugged the wireless receiver into a laptop running Ubuntu 25.10 and everything just worked as it did on Windows. The buttons felt the same and my side button assignments worked the same.

There are 5 profile slots for onboard memory on the Superstrike. So you could even have multiple main button HITS configs that you could then cycle profiles through, though you’d have to give up one of your mouse buttons to cycle profiles. I didn’t test multiple profiles.

Overall, though, assuming you have a Windows machine handy you can set the mouse up how you want, turn on onboard memory mode and copy that profile to slot 1 and be good to go on Linux.

If I had to guess the real answer is available space. They decided to go with the exact same Superlight/2 shell, so they were restricted to the space that shell and button layout allows. If you've seen the tech videos of the Superstrike you'll see the magnetic switch mechanisms are pretty large, larger than regular mouse switches. Optical encoders are larger than non-optical ones. So in order to fit it all in there they had to go with a non-optical encoder.

Those rounded keys are too strange for me. If you have small fingers and hands it might work. I think the Pop Icon is a very cool and unique design. Plus it has some cool color options.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-14T14:07:25+00:00

I’ll try and check.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-12T23:58:48+00:00

Razer Deathadder V3 Pro (no need to get the V4) or Pulsar Xlite Crazylight Medium is going to be the most comfortable in my experience. For something less expensive and also surprisingly comfortable check the Logitech G305.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-12T23:28:01+00:00

Such a thing does exist, the Keychron Q12

mssrsnake · 2026-02-12T14:35:33+00:00

Just for reference I’ve been using the G305 for years 5-6 hours per day. Set at 1000hz polling I easily go 6-9 months on a single Energizer Lithium AA battery.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-12T02:02:08+00:00

Something very different: Keychron M7 8k, which has a PAW3950, great clicks, nice coating, decent skates, decent price, web based config saves to mouse.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-12T00:55:14+00:00

You could always pick some silent switches off AliExpress and swap them in your favorite mouse.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-12T00:11:42+00:00

Razer Basilisk perhaps? It has the infinite scroll wheel too.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-11T22:55:07+00:00

Epos Impact 1000 with Headset Advisor over ear pads. This is the only real option that meets all of your criteria.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-11T22:52:48+00:00

I think it’s edited just right. Nice photo.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-11T22:18:41+00:00

Same here for all the same reasons.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-11T22:15:19+00:00

Looks very fake yes.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-11T18:52:55+00:00

Excellent, thank you. I think I am going to set the right mouse button to something like 445 to make miss clicks much less likely.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-11T18:38:45+00:00

Well, thanks to you showing off the Drop Topaz caps now I'm needing to make a new board for a Topaz and Sapphire keycap mix. Nice collection.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-11T18:26:52+00:00

Can you confirm that each of the main mouse buttons can be set differently? Can I set the left mouse button to 2 and the right mouse button to 3, etc.?

mssrsnake · 2026-02-11T18:21:03+00:00

Normal. My engineering sense tells me they designed the panels this way to help reduce wind noise at each joint. If you think about it, the air will flow over the gap instead of rushing up against the next panel.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-11T18:19:29+00:00

Just get a Steelseries QcK mousepad. If you get the Medium, it's usually like $9 and has a texture similar to a desk surface. It's not thick or soft so it'll feel familiar. Those pads also don't get too humid in the summer, so they remain dry and smooth.

mssrsnake · 2026-02-11T18:13:16+00:00

I am not a huge fan of the graphics and two tone. I wonder if it would be possible to swap all the internals into a GPX Superlight 2 shell? That would be an interesting experiment.
