A mouse shouldn't be a surprise anymore. As an invention, it's over 60 years old and has gone through all the iterations you can imagine. By now, no matter how it changes, it's still just a mouse.
And yet, after two weeks with the Logitech Pro X2 Superstrike, I'm more excited about it as a computer accessory than anything else like it in years. The basics are still the same, but everything else feels different.
Like the G515 Rapid released in the fall of 2025, the Pro X2 Superstrike is all about capacitive buttons. It rethinks the way we interact with something as simple as clicks and motion. The result is a lighter, more accurate, and immensely more accessible device that just feels right. Like this is how the devices were meant to be from the very beginning.

At first glance, the Pro X2 Superstrike impresses by looks alone. This is a striking and classy little thing with a matte black and white finish that stands out on a desk. Yes, it's not exactly important how a mouse looks. It rests most of the time under your meaty paw anyway. But there's something pleasing about the aesthetic that Logitech has nailed down. I'd love to see the G515 in similar colors to create a matching set.
The next thing you'll notice is how impossibly light the whole thing feels. At just 61 grams, the Pro X2 Superstrike is within the same class as the Superlight mouse, which means it's breezy to move about in quick matches. For hardcore gamers, it's like an extension of your hand to the point that it doesn't feel like you're moving anything extra at all.
But it's not just e-sports fanatics who should take note. For everyone else, casual gamers and regular users alike, a mouse this light is brilliant for ergonomics. You might not notice it immediately, but give it a couple of days and your wrist will thank you.
The Pro X2 Superstrike uses a Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS) instead of physical switches, which has been the tradition in mice for decades. The new system combines a metal coil and a magnet to simulate clicks, which create the illusion and feel of the real thing. At first, it's the smoothness is unnerving, and while you can adjust the haptic feedback via the G HUB software, it takes a moment to get used to it.
To put it into perspective, the triggers have the same feedback as a modern smartphone. There's a light rumble that runs through your finger and into your hand. It feels like a click, but isn't. But then you realize that it's also so subtle and the movement so nuanced that you're not pushing down on the device as hard as with other accessories. You put less emphasis on your actions, which in turn lets your hand relax, cutting down on the risk of cramping.
Once you get used to the smooth and light usability, you'll notice how incredibly accurate and fast the Pro X2 Superstrike turns out to be. With less travel time on clicks – and the ability to adjust it even lower down to 30 milliseconds! – every single gesture feels immediate and responsive. The Pro X2 Superstrike has a sampling rate of up 8,000 Hz via Lightspeed (no Bluetooth here), which makes it incredibly accurate and malleable based on your needs.
During my test period, I found the quoted battery life of 90 hours proved surprisingly accurate. I don't think about charging the Pro X2 Superstrike because it quietly sips away battery at such a low pace that a single top up keeps it going for days and days. If you're low, just plug it into a USB-C cable for a few hours and you're good once more.
For my test cases, I used the Pro X2 Superstrike for gaming, office tasks, and video editing. While it is designed to be a gaming mouse first and foremost, my experience with it in all other tasks has proved it can serve in any capacity without any major weaknesses.
In gaming, I put the Pro X2 Superstrike against Apex Legends, DOOM: The Dark Ages, and a few matches of Counter-Strike. In each title I saw the same thing: I felt more assertive and accurate compared to other mice I've used this past year. There's a possibility that it's just the honeymoon period with a new device, but the ability to scale the sensitivity and the lack of travel on all clicks do make the Pro X Superstrike feel more present.
Because there are no mechanical switches present, it technically means my actions occur milliseconds faster than an opponents. In theory, that can mean the difference between winning and losing in a fast paced game. In practice, it also means that I don't think about moving my fingers as much as I do with other mice. I have cognitive disabilities and my hands are nowhere near as agile as they were when I was a kid, so any help with usability is greatly appreciated. As with the G515 keyboard, I've found that gaming is fun again because I don't feel as spent at the end of the day.
With RTS titles like Disciples: Domination, which I'm reviewing for the site this week, the accuracy and high sampling rates proved immaculate as well. Picking out units and moving between menus feels seamless and extremely breezy.
Office tasks, such as editing photos, text, and video, are all equally delightful. The magnetic feedback makes things wonderfully accurate. Once again, I find the work to improve because I don't think about what my hands are doing. There is no longer a choking point between the thought and the action. That's a small, but incredibly cool thing to experience for the first time. I can imagine that when Logitech comes out with a version of this mouse designed for office and content creation work that it will sell like hotcakes.
Verdict
I've spent well over two weeks with the Pro X2 Superstrike, and I can't imagine moving to any other mouse as my daily driver again.
That's not to say there aren't other devices that are fantastic and worth your time – there are! – but for my use cases, and for my particular needs as a disabled gamer and content creator, the Pro X2 Superstrike feels like a godsend. It does everything for mice the G515 did for keyboards, and that's a major victory for everyone who values their gaming experience to be as frictionless and fun as possible.
It has all the good bits of previous generation Logitech gaming accessories, but reinvents the playing field entirely in the process. After this, there's really no going back to anything traditional.
