Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Review: Haptic Mouse Buttons Changing the Rules of the Game

The Logitech PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE represents a fundamental shift in gaming mouse technology with its Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS) that replaces traditional microswitches entirely. After using this mouse non-stop for 2-3 weeks across various games, particularly Overwatch, I can confirm that this is a measurable performance upgrade that changes how responsive a gaming mouse can feel.

LOGITECH G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE REVIEW – DESIGN AND FEATURES

The most significant innovation in the PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE is the Haptic Inductive Trigger System. Instead of relying on traditional mechanical microswitches, Logitech has engineered an entirely new approach using inductive sensors paired with haptic feedback motors. The result is a claimed 30ms reduction in click latency compared to conventional gaming mice.

In practice, this feels similar to when Apple transitioned the iPhone home button from a physical mechanism to haptic feedback. There’s a noticeable difference at first – you’re feeling vibration feedback rather than a mechanical click. The sensation is different, but it’s not worse. In fact, after the initial adjustment period, the haptic response feels quite natural.

The haptic intensity is completely adjustable. You can choose from six intensity levels to match your preference. Set it high and you get pronounced tactile feedback that mimics traditional switches. Dial it down and the feedback becomes subtle. Set it to zero and you’re essentially tapping with no feedback at all – an unusual sensation that takes some getting used to, but it’s there if you want the absolute minimum resistance. I don’t recommend setting this option but it’s there if you like it.

Beyond the haptic feedback, the PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE introduces customisation options previously reserved for high-end gaming keyboards. You can adjust both the actuation point (how far you need to press before a click registers) and the reset point (how far the button must return before it’s ready for another click).

The system offers ten actuation points and five rapid-trigger reset points for both main mouse buttons. This level of customisation is groundbreaking for a gaming mouse. In competitive scenarios, being able to fine-tune exactly when your clicks register can mean the difference between winning and losing a gunfight. The player who clicks AND registers the action first wins the battle, and this mouse gives you every possible advantage in that race.

I experimented with different settings across various games and found that faster reset points particularly benefit games requiring rapid clicking or quick follow-up shots. The ability to dial in these settings through Logitech G HUB software means you can optimise the mouse for different games or even different characters within the same game. And should you find that you get accidental clicks or the setting is too sensitive, you can always tone it down further to hit that sweet spot.

The PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE maintains the symmetrical shape pioneered by the original PRO WIRELESS and refined through PRO X SUPERLIGHT iterations (make sure to check my reviews on the G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2c and G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX). It’s a proven design that professional players already trust, so there’s nothing new to adapt to except the revolutionary technology inside.

The mouse feels natural and comfortable during extended gaming sessions. At approximately 61 grams, it’s impressively light on paper. However, I noticed the weight distribution feels slightly front-heavy. My suspicion is that the HITS components – the haptic motors and inductive sensors – contribute to this forward weight bias. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s noticeable if you’re particularly sensitive to mouse balance.

The PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE features Logitech’s HERO 2 sensor, which delivers sub-micron tracking at over 888 IPS, 88 Gs of acceleration, and up to 44,000 DPI. These specifications sound impressive on paper, and they translate to real-world performance.

I’ve been testing the mouse extensively with Overwatch, a fast-paced competitive shooter that demands precision and quick reactions. The sensor performs flawlessly, tracking accurately across rapid flicks and micro-adjustments. The wireless LIGHTSPEED technology supports up to 8,000 Hz polling rate, which means the mouse reports its position to your PC 8,000 times per second. This eliminates any concerns about wireless lag – the connection feels as responsive as any wired mouse I’ve used, without the annoying dangling cord getting in the way.

The combination of the HERO 2 sensor, 8,000Hz polling rate, and reduced click latency from HITS creates a remarkably responsive gaming experience. In competitive matches where milliseconds matter, every small advantage compounds into better performance.

Here’s my Overwatch gameplay clips while using this mouse:

Logitech claims up to 90 hours of battery life on a single charge. In real-world use with the 8,000Hz polling rate enabled and haptic feedback active, your mileage will vary depending on how aggressively you’re using the mouse. Also note that setting the polling rate this high requires a beefy PC. The USB-C charging is quick and convenient, and you have the option to use POWERPLAY products (sold separately) for continuous wireless charging if you want to eliminate battery anxiety entirely.

The G HUB software provides comprehensive control over the PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE’s features. You can adjust click settings, haptic intensity, actuation and reset points, sensor calibration, and DPI levels. Settings can be saved to the mouse’s onboard memory, so your preferences travel with you to tournaments or LAN events.

The software also supports profile imports, meaning you can download settings from professional players and use them as a starting point before tailoring them to your own preferences. This is particularly useful if you’re unsure where to start with the extensive customisation options.

LOGITECH G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE REVIEW CONCLUSION

The Logitech PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE is a gaming mouse that introduces technology we’ll likely see become standard in future gaming mice. The Haptic Inductive Trigger System delivers on its promise of reduced click latency, rapid trigger, and the tunable actuation and reset points provide customisation options that were previously impossible with mechanical switches.

The mouse performs exceptionally in competitive gaming scenarios, with a top-tier sensor, ultra-fast wireless connectivity, and comfortable ergonomics. The haptic feedback takes some initial adjustment, but the ability to customise its intensity means you can dial in exactly the feel you want.

The front-heavy weight distribution is a minor complaint in an otherwise excellent package. The bigger consideration is the A$299.95 price tag, which positions this as a premium product aimed at serious competitive and esport players who want every possible performance advantage they can get (on top of high polling rate).

If you’re a casual gamer, the PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE’s advanced features might be overkill. But if you compete seriously, chase every possible gain, or simply want the most technologically advanced gaming mouse available, the PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE delivers.
