Logitech's Pro X2 Superstrike gaming mouse introduces electromagnetic induction tech, cutting down on latency and adding new features — $179 mouse adds 'Haptic Inductive Trigger' system that allows users to pick actuation levels

First unveiled at the Logitech G Play 2025 event in September 2025, the Pro X2 Superstrike is now available in stores for $179.99. It's Logitech's first gaming mouse to feature the brand's Superstrike technology, which combines an inductive analog sensing system with real-time haptic feedback.

While competitors are still using industry-standard mechanical microswitches, Logitech has moved away from them and introduced its Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS) with the Pro X2 Superstrike. HITS features an electromagnetic induction system consisting of a metal coil and a magnet to register clicks. The core idea behind HITS is induction, which likely inspired the technology's name. According to Logitech, HITS can reduce latency by up to 30 ms compared to mechanical switches.

Since there is no physical contact, unlike mechanical switches, the Pro X2 Superstrike lets you pick the actuation levels, similar to modern Hall Effect keyboards. There are 10 actuation levels and five rapid-trigger reset points you can choose from. Since there's no mechanical interaction, there's no "real" click to the Pro X2 Superstrike. Instead, Logitech added a haptic actuator to simulate the click, much like what Apple does with the MacBook Force Touch trackpad on its devices. There are six actuator intensity levels for the Pro X2 Superstrike, which you can customize in Logitech G HUB.

Logitech Pro X2 Superstrike Specifications

The Pro X2 Superstrike retains many of the same specifications as the original Pro X Superlight 2. Logitech's Hero 2 sensor remains at the heart of the Pro X2 Superstrike and delivers a DPI range of 100-44,000, with tracking and acceleration of 888 IPS and 88 G, respectively. As always, the performance metrics are from Logitech's internal tests on its G640 Gaming Mouse Pad.

The Pro X2 Superstrike flaunts polling rates up to 8,000 Hz using Logitech's Lightspeed technology. A single charge provides up to 90 hours of battery life, so it's only 5% less than the Pro X Superlight 2. It charges via a standard USB-C port, or you can pair it with a Powerplay mouse pad. The Pro X2 Superstrike and Pro X Superlight 2 are identical in dimensions and design. However, the former weighs 2% more than its predecessor, which is not a substantial difference.

The Pro X2 Superstrike retails for $179.99, 13% more than the Pro X Superlight 2 if we're comparing MSRP. However, at street price, the Pro X Superlight 2 typically sells for as little as $114.99 and has dipped to an all-time low of $99.99, so we're potentially looking at a significant premium for the Pro X2 Superstrike if you bought the predecessor at a significant discount.
