Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike: two-minute review
I should probably start this review by saying that I’ve long been a fan of Logitech mice, having used a G502 Lightspeed Wireless as my daily driver for over five years. In fact, I love it so much that when mine finally died in 2024, I literally bought another identical model.
If you’re familiar with my work, you might suspect a slight degree of bias in this review – and I’m sure the coveted five-star rating above won’t allay those suspicions.
But honestly? I wasn’t expecting much from the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike. The design is pretty simple, just an almost symmetrical chassis with two thumb buttons and a basic scroll wheel, and a slightly futuristic aesthetic that you’ll either find appealing or obnoxious. I’ve seen a hundred mice like this before, I thought as I unboxed it for the first time.
This was before I knew HITS. The “inductive haptic trigger system” is the main selling point of the Pro In other words, you can personally change the tactility of these clickers to Exactly how you want them to feel, and it’s honestly awesome. It’s reminiscent of the satisfying feedback of Hall effect buttons, and the mechanics behind it are also similar, but I’ll get to that later in this review.
HITS aside (but really, those buttons absolutely rock), the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike is just an incredibly competent piece of hardware design. The rounded, symmetrical shape is very comfortable in the hand, and the total package weight of only 61g, combined with the smooth-gliding UHMWPE feet, allows for pleasant use even on lower sensitivities. But with a 44,000 DPI sensor and 8K polling rate mode, it’s well-equipped for nervous online shooter fans.
I’m just going to say it: this is quite simply one of the best gaming mice money can buy right now. Speaking of money…
Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike: price and availability
- How much does it cost? $179.99 / £159.99 / AU$299.95
- When is it available? Available now
- Where can you get it? Available worldwide
Yeah, it hurts a little. Pointing at $179.99 / £159.99 / AU$299.95it is undeniable that many PC gamers will not be able to enjoy the perfect clicks of the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike.
It’s priced similarly to the Razer Deathadder V4 Pro, which we featured in our list of the best mice, and is a comparable premium esports-focused mouse with a simple, lightweight design – although it instead uses optical switches, which are durable and responsive but much noisier.
However – and it’s not often that I say this – I actually think that this is a product that manages to fully justify its price. The Superstrike is something entirely new, but even aside from that, it’s simply a great product in almost every way.
Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike: design
- Simple but comfortable design
- Robust build quality
- No left-handed version
I suspect the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike’s ultra-modern design will deter some potential buyers, but I like it. No rainbow RGB here, just a single LED indicating your DPI preset. Having the product name printed all over the device makes it feel like something out of a utilitarian corporate dystopia – a vibe that suits my hardware aesthetic, even if I’d prefer to avoid it from a societal standpoint.
Aesthetics aside, there’s nothing particularly earth-shattering about the chassis design, but you don’t mess with a proven winner. The shape is essentially the same as Logitech G’s previous Pro X Superlight 2, a symmetrical design with a gentle curve that fits comfortably in the palm. I have very large hands, so I asked my (smaller) partner to try it, and he reported that it was also very comfortable to use. I could argue that the shape is a little better suited to claw and finger type grips, but as a palm grip user, I found it comfortable even during extended gaming sessions.
Despite weighing just over 60 grams, the Pro X2 Superstrike doesn’t feel fragile at all. The whole thing seems well built, with a physical power switch and a magnetic cover on the underside that hides a slot to store the USB dongle. The feet are made from durable, low-friction UHMWPE, and a small cutout on the front of the mouse houses the USB-C port for charging or wired use.
The main buttons have a heavy tactile feel, while the scroll wheel offers a firm rotation and a quiet but sturdy click. The side buttons are a little softer, but still have a decent level of physical feedback and are well spaced – I often like to map actions to these thumb buttons in shooter games, and I haven’t encountered any bad clicks. The mouse is very slightly front-heavy, likely due to the HITS switch set below the two main buttons, and while I don’t have a problem with this, users who regularly lift their mouse off the pad may find that it takes a little getting used to.
The sensor is the Logitech G HERO 2 sensor, which is found in a wide range of premium gaming mice from the brand. It supports up to 44,000 DPI with acceleration recording up to 88G, and I can attest from using other mice with the same sensor that it is very reliable. For those looking for the best low latency performance, the case includes an adapter allowing you to connect the dongle to the power cable and place it directly on your desk, but it also worked well simply plugged into the back of my PC.
The matte plastic shell repels fingerprints well (even those from my sweaty hands during a heatwave that hit the UK while reviewing the Pro X2 Superstrike), and the case is generally sturdy. It looks like a product designed to last. Honestly, my only criticism here is the lack of a left-handed model; I’m left-handed myself, and while I’ve adapted to using a mouse with my right hand, the same can’t be said for all left-handers.
Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike: performance
- HITS switches are truly phenomenal
- Fast, smooth movement is ideal for shooters
- Logitech G Hub software works well
Alright, let me talk about these switches properly for a moment. The operation of HITS is essentially the same principle as Hall effect keypad switches, using metal plates and copper coils carrying an electromagnetic current with an analog sensor that accurately measures the click input.
Now, this means you get incredibly fast input response, comparable to the optical switches that are increasingly popular in gaming mice, but the real takeaway here is the adjustable actuation. Since you’re not pressing a physical switch but rather moving a bit of metal up and down, you can use Logitech’s G Hub software to manually adjust the actuation point. If you want a hair trigger, it’s yours. Do you prefer only firm, deep clicks to register? He can do that too, and everything else.
The HITS design also allows you to adjust the trigger reset points (in simple terms, how long the button can register another input when you start lifting your finger after clicking), and with no physical switches involved, the Pro X2 Superstrike allows for lightning-fast firing inputs. If you’re using a semi-automatic pistol, the only limit on rate of fire is that imposed by the game itself.
With no real switch to click below these buttons, there’s no tactile feedback. In fact, when I first got the Pro X2 Superstrike and clicked the buttons before turning it on, I was immediately worried that it would be horrible to use. This is where the “haptic” part of the “haptic inductive trigger system” comes in: when you click, the button releases a small vibration that mimics the click of a traditional mouse. It sounds silly, but it really works – and as with actuation and trigger resets, you can adjust this too, or even disable it if you want. But I wouldn’t – it’s actually really good once you get used to it.
The best part? They are ridiculously quiet. If you’re sensitive to noise or are a late-night gamer like me, a near-silent mouse is a real godsend. Actually, Logitech, if you’re reading this: please make a G502 with HITS (then send it directly to my home). I love the Superstrike, but I miss my thumb rest for everyday work.
Very good, ace Talk about HITS. Overall, the Logitech G Pro
The G Hub software gives you plenty of sliders to drag, allowing you to adjust the usual settings like sensitivity and polling rate, as well as create profiles for individual games based on your preferences. The 8K polling mode is something of a gimmick that probably won’t make much difference to all but the sweatiest esports enthusiasts, but it’s there if you want it (although oddly enough it’s not available in wired mode; you have to use the included dongle).
I stuck with the defaults for most of the games I tested, but created custom profiles for Valorant And Marathon to get the most out of the super-responsive HERO 2 sensor. You can also map button input combinations as macros, which proved particularly useful for manually adjusting DPI, since there’s no dedicated DPI button here.
Did it make me better at shooting? No, my goal is still aggressive in the middle, but I’m definitely felt play better with the Pro X2 Superstrike. After modifying the HITS actuation to accept touch inputs with an equally low reset point and powerful haptic feedback, you dispatched hostile players from a distance with a sniper rifle. Marathon felt rewarding.
Battery life is also solid, with Logitech claiming 90 hours of use on a single charge. I found this restrained; I charged the mouse to maximum capacity after unboxing it, and it was still working after a week of work and play.

Buy the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike if…
I swapped my regular Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless for the Pro X2 Superstrike for a total of eight days while preparing this review, and guess what…I’m still using it. Not for everyday work (I appreciate a thumb rest too much for that), but it’s currently perched on the corner of my desk whenever I charge Marathon Or Warframe.
During my eight-day testing period, I used the Superstrike both for my regular day-to-day work for TechRadar (which, in mouse-specific terms, mostly involves lots of link clicking and text highlighting) and for whatever I use my PC for in my spare hours. It’s mostly gaming, with a little tinkering in Discord and Scrivener for personal projects. Besides the games I’ve already mentioned in this review, I also tested the Pro X2 Superstrike in Overwatch, Apex Legends, And Little Tina’s Wonderland (yes, I know I’m late to this particular party – I’m going Borderlands 4 Ultimately).
