Technical benefits: what it actually gives you
8000 Hz polling: 0.125 ms between reports
At 1000 Hz the mouse reports its position once per millisecond. At 8000 Hz it does it every 0.125 ms. That doesn't make you aim better on its own, but it removes the stair-stepping you see in fast swipes and cuts the variance in the delay between moving and the game processing it. A lower latency floor and, more importantly, a steadier one.
60 g with a closed shell, not a honeycomb
The Superlight 2 hits 60 g without perforating the shell. That matters twice over: the chassis is stiffer, and it doesn't collect grime. For a palm-grip player it's one of the few ultralights that doesn't force you to change grip.
LIGHTFORCE hybrid switches
They pair the mechanical feel of the click with an optical signal. You keep the physical feedback, but the signal doesn't depend on a metal contact that bounces, so there's less debounce to pad and no double-clicking as the switch ages.

How it performs by game type
Tactical shooters
Valorant · CS2
10/10
There's a reason it's the most common mouse on the circuit. 60 g in a shape that supports palm grip lets you run low DPI and aim from the arm for the micro-corrections of a CS2 spray, and HERO 2 adds no smoothing on fast flicks. With POWERPLAY charging you don't even have to think about plugging it in.
Mechanical speed and precision
Rocket League
9/10
Rocket League is about constant camera control rather than flicking, and the advantage there is the weight and the consistency of tracking across long, smooth movements. 888 IPS is far beyond any human motion, so you'll never lose tracking on a camera swing.
High click-rate PvP
Minecraft
8/10
For high-CPS PvP the LIGHTFORCE hybrids give a firm click with a fast reset, but if your technique is butterfly or drag clicking, many players prefer pure mechanical switches for the feel and how they respond to dragging. It's more than capable, just not the specialist choice.
Mixed competitive play
Roblox
9/10
A great all-rounder: the shape forgives every grip, 95 hours of battery removes the charging problem from long sessions, and it works the same in any Roblox shooter. If Roblox is all you play, you may be paying for more sensor than you need.
Pros, cons and who it's for
Strengths
Closed 60 g shell that still respects palm grip
8 kHz polling and up to 95 h of battery life
HERO 2 sensor with no smoothing or acceleration
Works with POWERPLAY wireless charging
Pure PTFE feet out of the box
Weaknesses
Expensive, and the 8 kHz receiver isn't included in every bundle
Only 5 buttons: few for ability-heavy games
No RGB or display, if that matters to you
The plastic picks up sweat over long sessions
Ideal for: The tactical shooter player on palm or claw grip who wants the pro-circuit standard with no experiments.
Reviews follow the same arc: initial surprise at how little it weighs, then a note that tracking stays clean even on a glass pad. Several buyers coming from 60-80 g mice describe less fatigue over long sessions. The most common complaint is the price.
