Logitech has begun selling its first mouse built around a new click mechanism. The $180 G Pro X2 Superstrike replaces conventional mechanical microswitches with an electromagnetic analog sensing system, a change the company says reduces click latency by critical milliseconds for competitive gamers.
The main innovation is Logitech’s Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS), introduced in September 2025. It replaces physical microswitches with copper coils that generate an electromagnetic field, resulting in an analog button mechanism. Logitech says the design offers 0.6 mm of click travel and reduces click latency by up to 30 milliseconds compared with conventional switches.
Built on the same base as the G Pro X Superlight 2, the Superstrike lets users dial in its new trigger system to their liking. Logitech’s G Hub software allows adjustments to the actuation point in 10 steps and the rapid trigger reset in five. The software also controls the onboard haptic actuators, with five different intensity levels for tactile feedback.
Logitech describes the technology as a “monumental leap” for competitive gaming, where small reductions in input delay can be critical. Its marketing positions the mouse mainly for esports athletes and professional gamers.
In addition to the new click mechanism, the Superstrike uses the “Hero 2” optical sensor from the Superlight 2. The sensor supports 100 to 44,000 DPI, up to 88G acceleration, tracking speeds of 888 inches per second, and an 8,000 Hz polling rate. Battery life is rated at up to 90 hours per charge, around five hours less than the Superlight 2.
The launch highlights a broader shift toward analog, low-latency input devices at the high end of gaming hardware. At the same time, the $180 price and narrowly focused performance gains suggest the Pro X2 Superstrike is likely to matter most to elite competitive players, rather than casual gamers.
