Gaming: Breaking Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike Review
This is the kind of product you only get once every few years. The induction and haptic feedback system allow for adjustable actuation and rapid trigger that cuts down your time-to-shoot. And all this is wrapped in a wonderful Superlight-shaped shell.

The Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike has me the most excited that I've been over a gaming mouse since the launch of the original Logitech G Pro X Superlight back in 2020. The Superlight offered something new by shaving down its weight into 'ultralight' territory while retaining a solid shell. That was a genuine leap forward for competitive gaming. Now, it feels like we're at another one of those stages where there can be a real leap forwards, and it's once again being given to us by a Superligh– sorry, a Superstrike.
They're easy to confuse at a glance because the bulk of the Superstrike is identical to the previous Pro X Superlight 2, except for one crucial area: the switches. The Superstrike doesn't have your regular mechanical or optical switches, rather it uses what Logitech is calling a Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS), ie, a mix of inductive sensing for input and haptic feedback for the click sensation.
The simple way to think about this is that it's similar to Hall effect technology in gaming keyboards, allowing adjustable actuation and rapid trigger thanks to analogue input. Which is a big deal, because no gaming mouse has had this before. Before you say it, no, not even the Swiftpoint Z series, as that uses a mechanical click and pressure pads rather than inductive magnetism.
In practice, this means you can set the actuation of the Superstrike's left and right clicks wherever you like, choosing between 10 subdivisions of the full 0.65 mm button travel distance. The main benefit to this is that you can set the clicks to register with a very light actuation force—on level one or two in the software, for instance—which means you can click and shoot with a very light touch.
