Review: Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike Mouse: Innovative Clicks, Fixed Balance, Even More Expensive
Logitech has released the G Pro X3 Superstrike mouse, an updated version of its innovative X2 Superstrike launched eight months earlier. The new $200 (£180) device builds upon the X2’s groundbreaking design, which replaced traditional mechanical microswitches with analogue sensors and haptic motors—similar to those found in Apple MacBook Pro trackpads.
The X2 introduced a novel approach to gaming input, enabling faster firing, earlier click detection, and customizable tactile feedback. This innovation received strong critical reception, earning a perfect 10/10 rating despite its $180 (£160) price point. Notably, the design gained unexpected support from professional esports competitors, who traditionally favor established gaming hardware.
The X3 addresses limitations in the X2, positioning itself as the more refined version Logitech likely intended to release initially. The $20 (£20) price increase reflects these improvements and the product’s continued premium positioning in the esports peripheral market. According to the review, the X3 represents the matured vision of Logitech’s haptic-based gaming mouse technology, incorporating feedback from professional gamers who tested and validated the X2’s revolutionary approach to competitive gaming input.
