The Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse feels like a device that has something to prove. It’s not just another refresh of the Superlight line; it’s a rethink of how clicking even works.
I’ll admit, I was sceptical. I’ve used plenty of so-called “next-gen” mice that promised faster inputs, but the difference was usually subtle. With the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse, the rapid trigger system genuinely made me double-tap faster than I expected. It’s not magic, but call me Sorcer Dez. You still need skill, but it shaves off those microseconds that matter in competitive play.
What really cemented my interest was seeing the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse in person back in November at a Logitech event here in Australia. They had one of only three prototype units on display, and I managed to get a few minutes of hands-on time. Honestly, it felt surreal. The reps hovered nearby, almost protective of it, and you could tell they knew it was something special. I even remember saying to Dan Hall (from Logitech), “I don’t want this mouse, I need it.” During the demo, I tried pushing the click speed, and even then, it felt like the mouse was ahead of me. That impression stuck, so when I finally got my own retail unit, I was curious to see if it lived up to the hype.
And the retail version? The Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse lived up to everything I’d hoped for, and maybe even more. The production model feels polished, refined, and confident in a way the prototype couldn’t quite manage. It’s smoother, steadier, yet it still carries that same sense of speed and responsiveness I first noticed at the event.
Perhaps it was just me wanting this so much, building it up in my head after that November demo, but the reality matched the anticipation. There’s a strange satisfaction in knowing the mouse I now use daily was once a guarded prototype, shown only to a handful of people. That memory lingers, and it makes the retail version feel less like a product and more like something I’d been waiting for all along.
Design and Comfort
The Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse is built with a shell that’s lightweight yet reassuringly solid. It clearly takes cues from the Superlight 2, but it feels more refined, like Logitech wanted to keep the familiar silhouette while sneaking in a few thoughtful tweaks. Whether you claw or palm grip, it settles into the hand without fuss.
Wireless performance is rock steady, with an 8,000 Hz polling rate and up to 44,000 DPI if you’re brave enough to try it. I did, once, just to see. Honestly, I lost the cursor in about half a second; it was like trying to track a fly with a jet engine. I rolled it back to my usual settings pretty quickly, but it’s nice knowing the headroom is there, even if I’ll never need it.
Battery life is another pleasant surprise. Writing this review, I realised I hadn’t charged it since unboxing it nearly a week ago, despite nightly gaming sessions and working for 3 of the days. That’s impressive, and it makes the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse feel reliable in a way that matters. You don’t want your mouse dying mid-match, which has happened more often than I care to admit.
Now, the weight. At 61 grams, it’s not the absolute lightest mouse on the market. If you’re obsessed with shaving off every gram, you’ll notice. Personally, I think it’s perfect. It doesn’t feel flimsy, its not full of holes, and that little bit of heft actually steadies my aim. I’d rather have a mouse that feels like it can survive a desk knock than one that feels like it might float away.
The coating deserves a mention, too. It’s a subtle matte finish that resists fingerprints and gives just enough grip without feeling sticky. I’ve had glossy mice before, and they always end up looking tired after a few months or have those dreaded matte spots that age it before its time. This one feels like it’ll hold up better. The side buttons are positioned well, not too far forward, which is a blessing for my slightly chubby hands. I use them constantly, so I’m picky about placement, and Logitech nailed it here.
Shape-wise, the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse feels familiar; the curves are natural, and after long sessions, I didn’t notice any strain. That’s something I pay attention to as I get older. Some mice feel great for an hour, but leave your wrist aching after a weekend. This one strikes a good balance between ergonomics and performance.
And then there’s the sound… or rather, the lack thereof. The haptic system means clicks don’t have that sharp mechanical snap. My workmates have thanked me for that during Teams calls, and my housemate appreciates it on hot nights when the door’s open in the next room. It’s subtle, but when you’re sharing a space, the quieter clicks make a difference.
If I had to nit-pick, the scroll wheel could be a fraction firmer. It’s smooth, almost too smooth for my liking, and while that’s fine for browsing, in games where weapon switching matters, it sometimes feels like it could slip past the notch. Not a deal-breaker, but worth mentioning.
The Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse feels deliberate in its design. It’s not trying to reinvent the shape of a mouse, but it refines the formula in ways that make sense. Comfortable, durable, responsive, and honestly, just fun to use.
Haptic Switches – A Closer Look
Here’s where things get technical. Haptics aren’t new, not really… we’ve had them in phones, controllers, even steering wheels for decades, but only now are we starting to see them used in gaming mice in a meaningful way. The Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse is one of the first to take that leap, and it does so with its HITS (Haptic Inductive Trigger System).
A Bit of History
The idea of haptics goes back much further than gaming. NASA was experimenting with tactile gloves in the early 1990s to simulate touch in virtual environments. In consumer tech, the first big breakthrough came in the 1970s when Sega’s Fonz arcade game introduced vibrotactile feedback; you’d feel the rumble of a crash through the handlebars. Fast forward, and haptics became standard in console controllers, smartphones, and VR gear. But mice? That’s new territory.
How HITS Works
The Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse doesn’t rely on a mechanical contact closing like traditional switches. Instead:
- Inductive sensing: It detects the position of the trigger magnetically, which reduces latency and removes the need for physical wear points.
- Haptic feedback: Each click is confirmed with a subtle vibration, giving tactile assurance without the sharp snap of a mechanical switch.
- Tunable actuation: Through Logitech’s software, you can adjust both the actuation point and the reset point. That means you decide how far you press before a click registers, and how quickly it resets for the next input.
Why It Matters
Traditional switches are fixed. You press, they actuate, they reset. With haptic switches, the behaviour is flexible. For example:
- Rapid-fire shooters: Lower actuation and faster reset points let you spam clicks at absurd speeds.
- Editing or strategy games: A deeper actuation can feel more deliberate, reducing accidental inputs.
And because there’s no mechanical contact, the usual wear-and-tear issues, like double-click failures after a year of heavy use, are essentially eliminated. In theory, the inductive design should last much longer, making the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse not just faster, but more durable
Guinness World Record Moment
Here’s the fun part as you are probably asking yourself how much quicker: the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE actually set a Guinness World Record with 760 clicks in one minute, prior to that, the world record was 552 clicks in one minute. That’s absurd when you think about it. I tried to replicate it, no chance. My best was somewhere around 200 and something, and my hand cramped halfway through. Still, it’s a testament to how responsive the rapid trigger system really is. It’s not just marketing fluff; the hardware can genuinely keep up with extreme input speeds. Don’t believe me, here is the video:
Everyday Use
The Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse isn’t just a desk companion for spreadsheets and browsing, though I do use it a lot for that. It really comes alive in games. Playing Farlight 84, I noticed the haptic clicks gave me a strange kind of confidence. Each pulse felt like a tiny confirmation that my shot had registered, and in frantic firefights that reassurance mattered. I wasn’t second-guessing whether I’d clicked or not; I just kept moving, kept firing, and the mouse kept up without hesitation. I even found my fatty ducky rising the ranks in the Oceaniac region and actually made the top 50. I used to be pretty good, but the confidence of having something that doesn’t just work for you but actually works for you is amazing.
The rapid trigger system shines in fast-paced shooters. Double-tapping enemies felt quicker, almost instinctive, and I caught myself spamming clicks in ways I simply couldn’t with a traditional mouse. It doesn’t magically make you better, but it kind of does. It does shave off those microseconds that can decide whether you win or lose a duel. In Farlight 84, where mobility and reaction speed are everything, that edge is noticeable.
Outside of gaming, the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse has a way of sneaking into daily routines. The haptic clicks are oddly satisfying when browsing or editing. I caught myself clicking just to feel the pulse, like a little desk toy I didn’t know I wanted. It’s not distracting, but it does remind you this isn’t a standard mouse; you’re holding something genuinely different, maybe even game-changing.
In quieter environments, the softer clicks are a blessing. Late at night, when I’m working on drafts, scrolling through tabs… or indulging in my guilty pleasure, World of Warcraft, the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse doesn’t sound like a typewriter rattling away. My housemate, who’s a notoriously light sleeper, hasn’t stirred once, even on those hot nights when she sleeps with her bedroom door open. It’s gone from “can you not go into your office when I fall asleep” to “Have fun playing WOW.” That alone feels like a win… please, the Valentine’s Day event is in full swing, and your boy needs that butterfly mount!
And yes, I’ll admit, I fidget. If you’re prone to desk habits, this mouse will tempt you. I found myself idly clicking during meetings just to feel the feedback, like a stress ball with a pulse. It’s not disruptive, but it does mean you interact with the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse differently than you would with a regular one. It feels less like a tool and more like something you engage with.
Software – Logitech G HUB
The Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse isn’t just about hardware; the software side plays a big role in unlocking its potential. Logitech’s G HUB is where you fine‑tune everything, and with haptic switches in the mix, it feels more important than ever.
The mouse really shows its full potential once you dive into Logitech’s G HUB software. I already use G HUB every day for my keyboard, my old mouse, and even my webcam, so adding the SUPERSTRIKE into the mix felt like welcoming a new member into a family I know inside out. Everything synced up smoothly, and I was tweaking settings within minutes.
The fun part is how much control you get over the haptic switches. You can set the actuation point to be shallow for lightning‑fast taps or deeper for more deliberate inputs, and you can adjust how quickly the button resets for the next click. Profiles make it easy to swap between setups, one tuned for twitchy shooters like Farlight 84, another for calmer writing or editing sessions.
Because I’m so used to G HUB, experimenting with the SUPERSTRIKE felt more like play than work. At one point, I cranked the DPI up to the maximum just to see what would happen. The cursor shot across the screen so fast I lost it completely, like trying to chase a fly with a jet engine. I laughed, rolled it back to my usual settings, and decided that was a party trick best left unused.
That’s the charm of the software: it doesn’t just give you control, it invites you to mess around, to find what feels right. Without G HUB, the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse would still be impressive, but with it, the mouse feels personally tailored to my habits, my quirks, and even my late‑night gaming experiments.
Final Thoughts
After months of anticipation, the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse has proven itself to be hands down the best mouse I’ve ever used. From the moment I first tried the prototype back in November, I knew there was something special about it, and the retail version has only reinforced that impression. The engineering that went into this device is genuinely impressive; every detail feels deliberate, from the haptic switches to the balance of weight and sturdiness. It will forever change what you think a mouse can be, and I’ve been excited about it for months.
Now that I finally have it in my hands, I can say without hesitation: the wait was worth it. Every session reminds me why I was so eager to get one. It’s fast, responsive, comfortable, and fun in ways I didn’t expect. And I don’t even take full advantage of it. I can’t recommend the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse enough. I want the world to experience what it’s like to use a mouse that feels this refined and this different.
And don’t even get me started on how the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Mouse could change the scope of esports. This isn’t just a clever upgrade; it’s the kind of leap that forces the competition to rethink their entire playbook. Other brands are going to have to scramble to match it, or we’ll end up living in a world where every major tournament feels like a Logitech G World Championship. Honestly, with the speed, precision, and sheer engineering brilliance packed into this mouse, I wouldn’t be surprised if pros start demanding it as the new standard. It’s that much of a game‑changer.
And here’s the kicker: if you buy it from JB Hi-Fi, Logitech is offering a money‑back guarantee. That means they’re so confident in the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE that they’re willing to back it up with a promise. Honestly, that says it all. They think it’s as amazing as I do, and weirdly, it feels like we’re both daring you to try it. Because once you do, you’ll understand why I’ve been buzzing about this mouse for months. It’s for more than just hardware; it’s an experience.
