Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike review: New mouse tech lives up to the hype

by

Logitech’s G Pro X2 Superstrike demonstrates the company’s continued commitment to advanced gaming mouse technology. However, instead of focusing on making the mouse lighter or changing its form, this new model prioritizes improving the clicking mechanism.

The Logitech G Pro X Superlight was one of the first mice to popularize the trend of incredibly lightweight designs for first-person shooter (FPS) gaming. Later models, like the Superlight 2 Dex and Pro 2 Lightspeed, have continued to improve on this concept.

While the Superstrike may seem similar to other Logitech mice, it features a new technology called HITS – the Haptic Inductive Trigger System. This system replaces standard clickers with sensors that respond to your touch, allowing for faster clicks and more personalized customization.

We wanted to make clicking faster, more reliable, and more customizable for serious gamers. After a lot of testing with different shooting games, the changes feel like a real upgrade to gaming mouse performance, not just a temporary trick.

Design & Features

The G Pro X2 Superstrike has the same comfortable shape as the popular G Pro X Superlight 2. It’s a medium-to-large mouse designed for right-handed users, featuring side buttons on the left side and a textured coating that provides a secure grip, even during extended use. Weighing just 61 grams, it’s still very lightweight yet feels solid, and Logitech also includes grip tape if you want even more control.

I noticed right away that this mouse has a bolder look than previous Pro models – it’s covered with “X2” and “Superstrike” logos. Whether you like that extra branding is really a matter of personal taste, but it definitely makes it stand out from the other Logitech mice I’ve seen. It’s easy to tell this one’s a special edition!

The mouse performs as well as you’d expect for its price. During testing, the HERO 2 sensor tracked movements smoothly and accurately without any errors, and the fast 8,000Hz polling rate makes the cursor feel instantly responsive, even during quick actions.

The battery life is impressive. Logitech estimates it lasts 90 hours of continuous use, but in everyday use, we found ourselves only needing to charge it after several weeks.

Logitech’s new Haptic Inductive Trigger System

The real reason to consider the Superstrike is HITS.

Logitech mice now use a new type of sensor that detects clicks using magnetism, instead of traditional physical switches. This technology, similar to what’s become popular in keyboards, allows for customizable click sensitivity and incredibly fast response times – features previously unavailable in widely-sold mice.

You’ll notice the difference right away. These switches feel softer and smoother to press than typical mechanical switches, and they’re very quiet. It might take some getting used to the lack of clicking sound, especially if you’re used to louder, more traditional mechanical keyboards.

Logitech solves the problem of silent clicks by using adjustable haptic vibration. This creates a subtle physical sensation that feels like a traditional click, giving you feedback without any sound. Once customized, it feels remarkably natural and confirms your actions without being disruptive.

What truly sets HITS apart is how quickly it reacts. Its Rapid Trigger feature resets the click as soon as the button starts moving up, instead of waiting for it to reach a specific point. Paired with the ability to adjust how sensitive the button is—down to just 0.1mm—this significantly reduces the time it takes to register each click. This is especially useful in games like Counter-Strike 2 when you need to fire quickly in bursts or follow up shots rapidly.

These switches aren’t necessarily faster than others on paper, but they offer much more consistent performance. Each click feels similar, no matter how gently or forcefully you press the button, which is really helpful in fast-paced situations where precise timing is crucial. This makes it easier to quickly follow up with additional actions, and the mouse feels responsive without being jerky or difficult to control.

It takes a little getting used to. If you set the click to be very sensitive, you might accidentally click things until you find the right setting. Players who depend on feeling or hearing a distinct click might need some time to adapt. While haptics (vibrations) help, the feel is different enough that you’ll likely need to experiment to find what works best for you.

Software

You can customize the Superstrike mouse using Logitech G Hub software. It offers typical settings like adjusting sensitivity (DPI), how often it reports its position (polling rate), reassigning button functions, and saving settings directly to the mouse. However, the most notable feature is the inclusion of HITS controls.

You can easily adjust how quickly the mouse responds, how much movement is needed to activate it, and the strength of the tactile feedback – all through the software. Getting these settings just right significantly improves the overall feel of the mouse.

While G Hub isn’t perfect, it’s generally easy to use after you’ve created your preferred settings. It’s a key part of what makes this mouse special, as it allows for extensive customization of how it performs.

Verdict

The Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike doesn’t radically change the look of Logitech’s mice, but it introduces a major upgrade to how clicking feels. Its new Haptic Inductive Trigger System allows for quicker clicks, more personalized settings, and a unique tactile experience unlike traditional mouse buttons. Whether you’ll like it is a matter of personal preference.

HITS gives serious first-person shooter players more control and a smoother experience, letting them tweak settings for peak performance. While everyday gamers might not notice a huge difference, it shows where gaming mice technology is going for competitive play.
