Hands-On With the Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE: Is it Worth it?

The Logitech G Pro X line has been a staple among competitive gamers and streamers. The brand's lightweight design and iconic shape have made their way into numerous products. The new G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE is the first time in a while that Logitech has shifted focus toward input mechanics instead of weight or wireless performance.

The standout feature is the Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS), which replaces traditional switches with adjustable actuation and haptic feedback on the mouse. The goal is to reduce input delay and give players more control over how clicks behave.

After extended testing across various competitive and casual games, HITS definitely does its job. The bigger question is whether those gains translate into meaningful value, especially given its steep INR 23,995 ($259) asking price. 

The Logitech G Pro X2’s HITS Technology is a Game Changer

The first thing we noticed when using the mouse is how different the M1 and M2 feel. There is a short haptic response instead of the defined tactile break that we’ve come to expect from mechanical or optical switches in all modern mice. It takes a while to get used to, but it is by no means jarring. 

After a few sessions with the mouse, the lighter actuation and shorter travel start to feel faster and more consistent. Spam clicking becomes easier, and there is less physical resistance between each click.  The click system alters how quickly you can execute repeated clicks. The mouse also allows you to adjust actuation and feedback, which has practical value depending on the game. 

The HITS technology is useful if you use single or tap-fire guns like the Wingman in Apex Legends, the Anvil in ARC Raiders, or Ashe’s Coach Gun in Overwatch. The impact of the technology is less for full-auto weapons. However, it is still a noticeable improvement, considering the physical reaction time is reduced due to the use of haptic inputs.

We tested the reaction time using Human Benchmark to obtain a baseline comparison.

• Regular mouse: 180 to 190 ms
• SUPERSTRIKE: 160 to 170 ms

The improvement stayed consistent at around 20 ms. There is less delay between input and action, particularly when chaining movements and clicks together. The mouse will not magically make you a better player and compensate for bad aim or positioning errors. What it does is remove some delay from your input, which can make a difference in some situations. At the highest levels of competitive gaming and esports, a 20ms difference can have a noticeable impact.

Build Quality and User Experience

The experience outside of the M1 and M2 does not feel as premium. The side buttons have noticeable pre-travel if you actively test for it. While it does not matter for most use cases, this has been an issue for a while with the Logitech G Pro mice, and given the asking price of the SUPERSTRIKE, it’s surprising that the manufacturer has not made improvements. 

The scroll wheel is serviceable, and the middle click feels a little too resistant for our liking. This creates a situation where the primary M1 and M2 inputs are refined, while other parts of the mouse don’t feel as good. Considering the fact that the M1 and M2 are the two primary inputs, it should not be a dealbreaker for most users.

The overall build quality is great, and it feels quite similar to the Superlight series of mice that Logitech released. The weight distribution is skewed towards the front of the mouse due to the HITS components, but it does not cause any issue during actual gameplay. You only notice it when you lift the mouse. 

Before we reviewed the mice, we noticed negative feedback about the skates from users on social media platforms. Our review unit had no noticeable issues, and the default skates feel great. The mouse feels stable to use on both soft and hard mousepads. Overall, the build quality feels great aside from the minor issues we noticed with the side buttons and the scroll wheel, which should not pose a problem for most users. 

Is the Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE Worth it?

The SUPERSTRIKE is not designed for most users. It is aimed at competitive players who value input responsiveness and are willing to adapt to a different click system. A 20ms reduction in input latency is noticeable only to players who compete at the highest levels. 

Pros

• Consistent reduction in reaction time by around 20ms.
• Adjustable actuation and feedback.
• M1 and M2 feel fast and efficient after the initial adjustment period.
• Great build quality and lightweight.

Cons

• Side buttons have pretravel.
• The scroll wheel and middle click don’t feel premium.
• Steep asking price at launch.

The Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE and its HITS technology are a game-changer for competitive gaming. It offers measurable performance increases for esports players and hardcore first-person-shooter (FPS) enthusiasts. If you don’t fall into those categories, the technology should come to more affordable mice in the future.
