I admire Logitech’s attempt to revolutionize the gaming mouse — but I’m not quite sold on its haptics just yet

TechRadar Verdict

The Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike is a premium-feeling mouse that feels good in the hand, although it might be a bit too large and front-heavy for some. I admire the original haptic feedback system, but I’m not sure how many gamers will actually find it worthwhile. That said, the mouse’s overall performance is certainly fit for elite gamers. However, considering its price, the absence of a DPI button and Bluetooth connectivity are disappointing omissions. Ultimately, it means those without professional aspirations might be left feeling a little shortchanged by the Pro X2 Superstrike.

Pros

• +Great click feel
• +Unique haptic system
• +Supreme build quality
• +Useful customizations in G HUB

Cons

• -Limited haptic adjustments
• -Expensive given lack of features
• -Unbalanced weight

Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike: One-minute review

In an effort to shake up the gaming mouse market, Logitech has introduced the G Pro X2 Superstrike, with its unique customizable haptics that it hopes will elevate your game.

It doesn’t look particularly spectacular, with its simple symmetrical shape and lack of fancy accoutrements, such as RGB lighting. Its two-tone design is quite striking, though.

I found the Pro X2 Superstrike comfortable to hold, thanks to its basic ergonomic form, although those with smaller hands might find it a bit too cumbersome. The build quality is exceptional, up there with the best gaming mouse constructions. The materials feel smooth and durable, while all buttons and the scroll wheel operate with a satisfying solidity.

At 61g, the Pro X2 Superstrike isn’t heavy, either. It’s a shame, though, that most of the weight is concentrated towards the front. This can make lift-offs a little awkward as the rear has a tendency to tilt upward.

The Pro X2 Superstrike can be customized using Logitech’s G HUB software. It offers plenty of configurability, from DPI sensitivity to remapping, as well as featuring various adjustments for the Pro X2 Superstrike’s Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS). There’s also a Bunny Hop (BHOP) mode for preventing accidental scroll wheel flicks.

In action, the Pro X2 Superstrike performs well. It glides smoothly, albeit with slightly more friction than some other gaming mice, and all buttons operate easily and trigger consistently. Also, I didn’t experience any miscrolls when using the middle click, even with the BHOP mode disabled.

The headline HITS feature allows for meaningful adjustments to the actuation point and haptic feedback of clicks, which can make a big difference to feel. You can set them to be very fast and light, or slow and heavy.
