A pro CS2 player told me he ditched his Superstrike gaming mouse for the older Superlight 2 because it was ‘inconsistent’
A professional Counter-Strike 2 player has switched from Logitech’s Superstrike gaming mouse back to the older Superlight 2 model, citing inconsistency issues with the newer peripheral. The player, yxngstxr, made the revelation during a Logitech G Play event centered on the X3 Superstrike launch—a candid admission made directly at the product’s promotional event.
According to yxngstxr, while the Superstrike offered appealing click control, its performance proved unreliable in practice. His teammate Afro, the team’s AWP player, attributed some problems to weight inconsistencies, noting the Superstrike felt overweight. yxngstxr acknowledged this could explain his inconsistent experience, though he hadn’t initially identified weight as the primary issue.
The revelation underscores ongoing challenges in gaming peripheral quality control. Even among high-performance gaming mice marketed to professional players, manufacturing variability or design issues can prompt professionals to revert to older, proven models rather than adopt the latest hardware. This feedback from a competitive player at a launch event highlights how crucial peripheral reliability is in esports, where minute performance differences can significantly impact competitive outcomes.
