Logitech recently unveiled a series of new gaming peripherals, with the Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike being their most anticipated product. However, after using them, it's actually the keyboard and mouse pad that have me most excited.

The Pro X3 Superstrike is essentially an upgraded version of the X2, which launched just a few months ago. While it's a fantastic product, it doesn't quite capture my excitement as I had already been thrilled with the technology when it was first released in February.

The excitement lies rather in the keyboard and the mouse pad. Logitech's G Pro X Control, the mouse pad in question, is particularly appealing to me as it's a control pad designed for slow but steady movements, which is beneficial for tactical shooters like Counter-Strike 2. I've only had the G Pro X Control for a couple of hours, but it seems decent so far, if not a bit slow compared to other options on the market.

The G Pro X2 Rapid keyboard was a different story. As soon as I unboxed it, I knew it would be a pleasant experience. The Hall effect keys feel fantastic, with a creamy and slightly muted thock, and there's barely any wobble apart from a slight one from the spacebar. The textured keycaps add to the overall experience. It's a nice improvement over my previous Logitech keyboard, which wasn't great.

Logitech also announced a headset, the G Pro X 3 Lightspeed, but I'm less enthusiastic about it. The main upgrades are 20 extra hours of battery life and a better mic. While the improved mic is impressive, it's still just a mic and feels more of an iterative upgrade.

In conclusion, I'm currently sitting with three Logitech gaming products - the G Pro X3 Superstrike, G Pro X2 Rapid, and G Pro X Control. All three feel wonderful to use and are a significant upgrade from what they've previously offered.
