The Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike is spearheading a new generation of gaming mice. I'm not usually one for such grand pronouncements, but I really do think it is the case here; it will likely do for gaming mice what the Hall effect did for keyboards. Except Hall effect gaming keyboard switches were preceded by optical analogue ones, so perhaps it's more accurate to say the Superstrike will likely do what Hall effect and optical tech did for keyboards.

That's because it's the first time a gaming mouse has had analogue technology in it that allows for adjustable actuation and rapid trigger. This lets you set your left or right click to register with only a little pressure from your finger, and then re-register immediately after starting to lift up from a previous click. The end result is drastically less click latency, ie, less time between starting to press your mouse button and having your gun fire in-game.

That's in practice as well as on paper, as I've discovered over the last few days of testing. You can check out my review (linked above) for the full scoop, but the long and short is that it is very impressive. I won't be returning to a normal click anytime soon, I'll put it that way. It raises the shooter performance ceiling with a higher bar to aim for, at least when it comes to, well, aiming.
