Logitech's Pro X2 Superstrike mouse replaces microswitches with electromagnetic analog sensing

What just happened? Logitech introduced its new ultra-low click latency technology in September 2025, promising a significant leap forward in mouse performance. The first peripheral to feature this tech is now available, though it comes at a premium price.

The Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike is now available for purchase at a hefty $180 price tag. The Swiss manufacturer claims that the new mouse can provide a competitive edge over traditional solutions – a selling point likely to appeal to esports athletes and other professional gamers.

The Pro X2 Superstrike incorporates many of the technologies Logitech introduced with the G Pro X Superlight 2, a revised version of the original Superlight wireless esports mouse unveiled in 2020. The latest model focuses primarily on a potentially revolutionary analog system called the Haptic Inductive Trigger System.

Unveiled last fall, HITS could significantly innovate traditional mouse designs. The system replaces the mechanical microswitches commonly used in modern mice with a set of copper coils that generate an electromagnetic field. This fully analog system has a click travel of 0.6 mm and can allegedly reduce each click's latency by "up to" 30 milliseconds.

The Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike offers 10 levels of actuation point adjustment and five rapid trigger reset levels. Gamers can use Logitech's G Hub software – which, in my experience, is slightly better than the typically cumbersome software offered by other peripheral makers like Corsair – to customize their clicking experience. The Pro X2 Superstrike also includes haptic actuators for real-time tactile feedback, and G Hub allows users to adjust the haptic intensity across five levels.

Logitech describes Superstrike technology as a "monumental leap" in competitive gaming, emphasizing that every fraction of a millisecond counts in high-stakes play. However, traditional gamers are unlikely to notice a dramatic difference if they are simply playing for fun.

Beyond the new system, the Superstrike mouse uses the same "Hero 2" sensor found in the Pro X Superlight 2. Its core specifications include a resolution range of 100 – 44,000 DPI, a maximum acceleration of 88G, a maximum tracking speed of 888 IPS, and an 8,000 Hz polling rate. The internal battery lasts up to 90 hours on a single charge – about five hours less than the Superlight 2.

Isn’t a wireless mouse for competitive gaming an oxymoron? Wired will always beat them, right? If every millisecond counts, paying almost $200 for this seems foolish…
I think for a vast majority of people, wireless mice have been feeling the same as wired for at least the last 5 years, if not decade. I switched from a G502 wired to G502 wireless 2ish years ago and I sure couldn't tell the difference.
 
I love how every spec is turned up to 11 *** 44,000 DPI, 8,000 Hz polling *** yet the honest takeaway is buried in the middle: most players won’t feel the difference.
 
A $180 mouse that saves you 30 milliseconds per click feels like peak esports math. If you’re good enough for that to matter, Logitech is probably already sending you one for free. Everyone else is just buying confidence with RGB-flavored physics.

True but according to their own numbers the when wireless the same mouse has 8x latency improvement. 1ms ( wired) vs 0.125 ms wireless. It seems like the mouse is capable of both wireless and wired connections.1000052834.jpg

Just like the 120hz vs 60hz debate. Yeah, for the MAJORITY of people, they can't tell the difference.

Check the actual latency testing dude. Wireless these days is as fast as wired.

Yes - the latency on “normal” wireless and wired mice is probably about the same - or at least close enough so that no one can tell the difference…

But how about comparing it to a $200 wired gaming mouse? I’d wager the wired wins… again, only for the .01% of people who’d notice….

Faster and cheaper than this wireless mouse…
 
Jesus, that video... Constant jump-cutting, background changes, sudden loud sections, words on screen etc. Made for the terminally dumb with the attention span of a mosquito.

On the plus side, It's certainly expensive but I would think it *should* last a very long time given the switches are basically Hall Sensors with a silly name.
 
I have a G604 at work and one at home, but my work one is starting to fail. Seems like there's kits online to do the replacement which I'm starting to consider. Wish they wouldn't have discontinued it.
I also had one, but they used that awful rubber that degrades and becomes slightly tacky and difficult to clean. Shame as the mouse was great otherwise.

Imo any mouse giving you less than 1 frame of latency will be great no matter the marketing claims. 120 hz monitor needs 8 ms or less of latency, 240 hz needs 4ms of latency, 480 hz needs 2ms of latency, and the newer 1000 ghz 720p monitors need less than 1ms of latency to notice the difference under 1 frame.

Not anymore, most competitive CS players use a wireless mouse now. That tells you everything you need to know. These will sell like hotcakes.
 
How many professional gamers are there? Maybe a few thousand? That's not a market that can sustain product development costs. These things are being made to sell to people who think it will make them better, when it's probably one of the least important parts of being good at competitive games.

The wireless mouse reciever has it own transfer technology now to eliminate latency, depending on brand, they call it different things - but it works mostly the same. I use Logitech and they call it "Lightspeed", which is basically a wireless protocol for data comprimation to minimize the data you need to transfer in order to register your input. They claim it's down to 1ms (who knows), but it works well
 
Guess $180 is a deal when I consider the $380 CDN I paid back in the mid eighties for my Mouse Systems optical.
:/
