G Pro X Superlight 2 on Mac — Same Side Buttons, More Range

The Superlight 2 keeps the exact same button layout as the original — two side buttons plus wheel click — while adding Bluetooth, USB-C, and a 32000-DPI sensor. LinguaX gives Mac users what G HUB stops short of: long-press gestures, four-direction swipes, and per-app overrides on those two side buttons, without needing G HUB installed.

Current recognition status

The Superlight 2 receives basic side-button mapping via LinguaX's universal HID engine today. Deeper HID++ 2.0 profile support (battery reading via Lightspeed / Bluetooth, factory-default recognition) is planned for a future release — track the Changelog.

What you can actually map on the G Pro X Superlight 2

• S1 / S2 (side buttons) — the two thumb-side buttons (default Back / Forward). Click-based mapping via LinguaX's universal HID engine works today; richer gesture types (long-press / directional swipe) roll out with model recognition.
• M (wheel click) — the middle button.
• Left / Right click — handled natively by macOS.

The on-mouse DPI-cycle button under the shell is reserved for the mouse's own DPI toggle — LinguaX doesn't rebind it.

What changed vs the original Superlight

The mapping surface is identical to the original; the differences are on the hardware side:

	Original Superlight	Superlight 2
Wireless	Lightspeed only	Lightspeed + Bluetooth
Cable	Micro-USB	USB-C
Sensor	Hero 25K (25 600 DPI)	Hero 2 (32 000 DPI)
Weight	63 g	60 g
Polling	1000 Hz	8000 Hz with G HUB
Button count	5 (2 side + wheel click + L/R)	5 (same)

For LinguaX users, the practical Mac gains are: Bluetooth means no dongle to lose when travelling and USB-C means one cable in your bag. The mapping story is the same as the G Pro X Superlight — same two side buttons, same recipes.

Three ready-to-copy setups

1. Push-to-talk on S2

No Thumb button on the Superlight line — use S2. On the universal HID engine, tap-to-toggle is the reliable path today:

• S2 click → Toggle your voice tool's dictation (tap once to start, again to stop)
• Long-press / swipe roll out with model recognition — see roadmap tip above

2. Space switching via click

Swipe requires HID++ recognition (roadmap). For now:

• Bind S1 click or M click to a Karabiner / Hammerspoon macro that cycles Spaces
• Or wait for S1 swipe-left / swipe-right → ⌃ ← / ⌃ → when the Superlight 2 joins recognition

3. App-scoped click triggers

Per-app overrides work on the universal HID engine — same click, different action per app:

• In Zoom: S2 click → Mute
• In your browser: S2 click → Reopen closed tab (⌘ ⇧ T)
• Global: S2 click → Forward

Reference: App-Scoped Overrides.

Setup in three minutes

1. Install LinguaX from Installation.
2. Pick a connection mode. Lightspeed dongle for lowest-latency desk work, Bluetooth for travel, USB-C for both charging and wired input. LinguaX reads all three the same way.
3. Open Mouse+. Assign gestures to Side 1 / Side 2 / Wheel click.
4. Apply a recipe. Push-to-talk on Side 2 is the quickest single-button productivity win.

Compatibility notes

• Lightspeed / Bluetooth / USB-C — LinguaX side-button mapping works over all three.
• Battery reading — not yet exposed for this model (see info tip); coming in a future release.
• 32 000 DPI sensor — LinguaX doesn't cap or scale DPI; your on-mouse setting stays.
• Sleep / wake — pointer wakes normally; mappings re-apply after wake.
• Gaming latency — LinguaX intercepts only side-button events; raw pointer / click path is untouched.

FAQ

Does the Superlight 2 work on Mac without G HUB? Yes — macOS handles it natively; LinguaX adds side-button mapping without G HUB.

What's new for Mac users vs the original Superlight? Bluetooth and USB-C. Button surface is unchanged, so mapping recipes transfer.

Can I use both Lightspeed and Bluetooth? Yes — independent connection modes; LinguaX reads identically across both.

Does LinguaX affect gaming performance? No — pointer stream is untouched.
