Problems and Drawbacks

The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2c faces criticism for its proprietary connector that makes switching mice difficult during competitions, and the $60 price premium over the original Superlight 2c may not be justified for casual gamers. Some users also report that the 53g weight, while impressive, still feels slightly heavy for ultra-competitive FPS players who prefer sub-40g options.

The Razer Viper V4 Pro's primary drawback is its cost - at £200+, it's significantly more expensive than most professional-grade mice. The 50g target weight may still feel heavy for some players, and the premium pricing could be difficult to justify for non-professional gamers. Additionally, Razer's proprietary software can be overly complex for basic users.

SteelSeries Astra 2 users occasionally mention the lack of a dedicated Windows/macOS switch, requiring manual driver installation, and some report that the plastic build feels less premium than the aluminum options from Logitech and Razer. The sensor, while solid, doesn't match the 45K+ DPI of its competitors.

Who should NOT buy these mice: Budget-conscious gamers under £100 should look elsewhere; casual users who don't need 8K Hz polling or 44K+ DPI sensors will be overpaying for features they don't need.

Long-term concerns: The proprietary nature of all three brands' connectors makes future upgrades expensive, and the rapid pace of sensor technology updates means a 2-year-old mouse could soon be outclassed by newer models with better power efficiency.
