In the world of premium gaming mice, the Logitech G Pro Wireless has remained a favourite for many years. Its lightweight design, fast wireless connectivity, and strong performance made it the preferred choice among professional gamers and enthusiasts. Logitech has now launched the latest generation of its flagship mouse in India, the Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE. It debuts the company’s new Haptic Inductive Trigger System, or HITS, promising improvements to latency, customization, and performance. In this review, we test these claims and examine whether the Logitech G Pro lineup remains the best in the gaming mice segment.

Design and Build Quality
When it first launched in 2018, the G Pro Wireless was lauded for its lightweight, clean, and ambidextrous design. Logitech has since refined the design over successive generations, reducing the weight further while maintaining the overall aesthetic. The exterior shape remains mostly unchanged, with identical contours that provide a comfortable, solid grip.
It is built primarily for claw and fingertip grips, styles favoured by many competitive gamers. It is not the lightest mouse on the market at 61 grams, but that remains impressive given the technology and internal battery packed inside. The balance, in particular, is excellent, enabling easy flicks and accurate movement.
The mouse does not come with rubber grips on the sides; instead, it relies on smooth plastic. For some, this may pose a gripping challenge, though that was not the case for us. Logitech does offer grip stickers in the box, a thoughtful inclusion for those who prefer extra texture.
The buttons sit in their usual positions, along with two additional side buttons on the left. An LED indicates the charge status, a convenient touch, while a power toggle sits on the bottom. There is no dedicated button to switch DPI, which may prove inconvenient since it can only be adjusted through software. The mouse also supports Logitech’s PowerPlay wireless charging system, which can be used in place of the circular plastic puck fitted on the bottom.
The skates are made of UHMWPE (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene). This material is not as smooth as PTFE feet, so some users may want to swap them for aftermarket skates.
The mouse is devoid of RGB lighting, uncommon for a gaming-focused peripheral, though understandable as a weight-saving measure. The Pro X2 does stand out from its predecessors in colour scheme. Instead of a simple black exterior, it combines black and white for a distinctive look that we found appealing.
One aspect we are not fans of is the large branding on both sides of the mouse. The “SUPERSTRIKE” and “X2” text printed on the sides is unnecessarily big and loud. It is not subtle in any way; some users may prefer that, but we do not.
Performance and User Experience
As Logitech’s top-of-the-line mouse, the X2 SUPERSTRIKE has to deliver equally impressive performance. Inside sits Logitech’s HERO 2 sensor, capable of tracking at a resolution of up to 44,000 DPI. It tracks at a maximum acceleration of 88 G and a maximum speed of 888 IPS. The maximum LIGHTSPEED report rate has also been increased to 8,000 Hz.
With specifications like these, the mouse is among the best performers currently on the market. The tracking feels accurate and precise. Whether in fast-paced FPS games or casual AAA titles, the mouse keeps up with any movement without a single hitch.
In wireless mode, users can configure the mouse to a polling rate of up to 8,000 Hz, among the fastest available on the market today. This does drain the battery noticeably faster while offering little improvement in latency. For this reason, we left the polling rate at 1,000 Hz, which remains plenty fast for high-performance esports gaming.
Haptic Inductive Trigger System
The main highlight of the X2 SUPERSTRIKE is its use of the Haptic Inductive Trigger System in its primary buttons. Instead of traditional microswitches, the buttons use a combination of inductive analog sensing and real-time haptic feedback to register clicks. This inductive sensing is made possible by tiny copper coils that detect electromagnetic changes when a button is pressed. Since there is no mechanical component, users can adjust the actuation point or enable rapid trigger reset.
The mouse offers 10 levels of actuation point adjustment and five rapid trigger reset levels, both configurable through the Logitech G HUB companion app. A quicker actuation point reduces click latency, which in turn can improve responsiveness in competitive FPS games. According to Logitech, the technology can reduce click latency by up to 30 milliseconds, which can be the difference between winning and losing gun fights.
Rapid trigger further enhances this by improving responsiveness to high-frequency button inputs. During testing, we preferred the default actuation settings. Professionals who like to fine-tune their gear to their exact needs, however, may find this level of customization useful.
Using magnets instead of mechanical components also reduces wear and tear, resulting in a longer lifespan.
The second part of HITS is the haptic engine, which provides feedback when a click registers. Since there is no physical click mechanism, Logitech has added a vibration motor to simulate one. The vibration feels sharp and premium, and its strength can be customized as well. The companion app offers five levels of vibration strength to choose from. It can also be turned off entirely, though we found this felt unusual when tested. Still, it is a welcome option to have.
The Logitech G HUB app also enables several other customizations. Users can reconfigure button actions, assign macros, and change the DPI. They can also create application-specific profiles that trigger automatically when the relevant app opens. Additionally, the mouse includes onboard memory, allowing custom settings to carry across devices.
Connectivity and Battery Life
The X2 SUPERSTRIKE supports both wireless and wired modes of connection. For wireless use, the mouse relies on Logitech’s LIGHTSPEED technology, which the company states offers near-zero latency. The technology is known for rock-solid stability and a fast connection, and it performs as expected here. By utilizing the 2.4 GHz frequency, it can outperform wired connections in some instances. Worth noting is that the mouse does not support Bluetooth, which is understandable for a lightweight gaming mouse built for competitive use.
Wired connectivity is straightforward, though the maximum polling rate is limited to 1,000 Hz over the cable. One thing to keep in mind is that the USB-C port sits quite recessed, so not all cables will fit due to the limited space around it.
Battery life is rated at 90 hours, sufficient for multiple gaming sessions. It does not support fast charging, which is a drawback, but the mouse can be used while charging, a reasonable enough compromise.
Verdict
The Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE builds on a legacy of lightweight, dependable design while introducing a genuinely new way for a gaming mouse to click. The Haptic Inductive Trigger System is the star of the show, offering customization that traditional microswitches simply cannot match. Tracking performance from the HERO 2 sensor leaves little to complain about, and battery life remains solid throughout extended use. Wireless connectivity is stable, and the overall build feels every bit as premium as the price suggests. Our main gripes lie in smaller details, such as the loud branding and the missing physical DPI button. Neither affects day-to-day performance in any meaningful way.
At Rs. 17,990, the X2 SUPERSTRIKE arrives significantly more expensive than previous generations at launch. However, this cost reflects genuinely cutting-edge technology rather than an incremental update, and that makes the price easier to justify for ultra-competitive gamers chasing every millisecond of advantage. Casual users, however, may find the price difficult to justify for gains that are, admittedly, marginal in everyday use. Overall, Logitech has once again raised the bar for what a flagship gaming mouse can offer.
