Mousepad
The pad is the SteelSeries QcK Heavy Black, in use since September 2022. That makes it a 49-month pairing with the Superlight.
It is a cloth pad rated control-oriented for glide. Static friction is high and dynamic friction is medium. That means the mouse breaks away from rest with some resistance and then moves at a moderate pace, so stopping is easier than starting.
The 6mm thickness with firm foam gives a stable surface. The edges are not stitched. At 44.5cm by 39.7cm, the pad is long enough to hold a full 28.9cm turn with room to spare.

Mouse settings
In Overwatch, 800 DPI with 6.00 in-game sensitivity gives an eDPI of 4800. That works out to 28.9 cm/360, so a full turn takes just under 29cm of pad.
The mouse is set to 1000 Hz, the top polling rate the Superlight offers. Its range runs from 125 to 1000 Hz.
800 DPI is a small slice of the sensor's 100-25600 range. The sensitivity is set mostly through the in-game value, not the DPI.

Should you buy xQc's mouse?
The Superlight is an ambidextrous, symmetrical shape. It suits palm, claw and fingertip grips, and anyone who wants a low-profile wireless mouse without side-specific contours. At 62g with a HERO sensor and Omron switches, it is light but not the lightest in its class.
The alternatives trade off differently:
- Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Black: lighter at 59g, with the same footprint. It adds a HERO 25K sensor, 2000 Hz polling and LIGHTFORCE Hybrid switches. Button force is 98.4g against 65g on the original, a clear difference in click feel. 10 pros use it now.
- Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE Lunar Eclipse: shorter and wider than the Superlight, at 61g. Polling goes up to 8000 Hz, and the switches are Logitech HITS. 15 pros use it now.
- ZOWIE U2-DW Black: 60g and narrower than the Superlight, with polling up to 4000 Hz. It is the pick for a slimmer feel. 3 pros use it now.
Stay with the Superlight if the original shape and lighter click force are what you want. Move to one of the others if you need a lower weight or a higher polling rate.
