Our Verdict

Gigabyte AORUS M5

Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT is a better gaming mouse than the Gigabyte AORUS M5. The Logitech is significantly lighter, and it feels better built. Also, you can use it wirelessly via its USB receiver. It has a wider CPI range, a more consistent sensor, a lower lift-off distance, and much lower click latency.  On the other hand, the Gigabyte comes with extra weights if you prefer heavier mice. Both mice are suitable for any grip type, but people with small hands using a palm or claw grip will feel more comfortable with the Logitech.
