Logitech G’s Pro X2 Superstrike gaming mouse has been built around a different approach to click design, aiming to reduce latency and increase customization for competitive players. First announced last September, the new Pro X2 Superstrike is now on sale, priced at $179.99.

This is the first mouse to use Logitech’s Superstrike technology which replaces traditional mechanical switches with an inductive, haptic-based system.

Superstrike combines inductive analog sensing with real-time haptic feedback. Instead of relying on standard microswitches, the mouse uses a haptic inductive trigger system that allows the actuation point and reset behavior of the main buttons to be adjusted in software.

This design is intended to give players more control over how clicks feel and respond, particularly in high-speed competitive play.

“Speed wins moments, winning moments win matches,” said Robin Piispanen, General Manager of PRO and SIM at Logitech G. “With Superstrike, we’re not just enhancing click speed, we’re giving pros a new level of adaptation, personalization and confidence. This is a true breakthrough in the mission of speed and control.”

The inductive system offers 0.6mm of click travel, with ten actuation point levels and five rapid trigger reset settings. Haptic feedback is generated when a click actuates and again when it resets, with intensity adjustable through Logitech’s G HUB software. Logitech claims this setup can reduce click latency by up to 30 milliseconds compared to conventional designs.

The mouse was developed with input from professional esports teams including G2 Esports, NAVI, and BLG. During early testing, G2 Esports midlaner Caps compared the difference to a shift in network conditions, saying, “The difference feels like going from playing on public internet servers to playing on LAN.”

Beyond click mechanics, the Pro X2 Superstrike uses Logitech G’s Hero 2 sensor paired with what it calls Power of 8 technology. The mouse supports up to an 8kHz polling rate over Lightspeed wireless, along with tracking rated at 88G acceleration, 888 inches per second, and sensitivity scaling up to 44k DPI. Logitech says the sensor operates without smoothing, filtering, or acceleration.

The hardware is designed to remain lightweight, with a target weight of 65 grams and PTFE feet shaped to reduce friction.

Logitech rates battery life at up to 90 hours under constant motion, which means it can cover extended practice and tournament use without frequent charging.

The Pro X2 Superstrike is available to buy here priced at $179.99. Whether the claimed latency and control benefits translate into measurable competitive advantages will likely depend on player preference and software tuning.
