Logitech’s latest esports mouse clicks faster and get you more kills — what happened to my scoreboards after a week gaming

The Logitech G Pro X3 SuperStrike is the fastest lightweight clicker on the market, although it’s got some serious competition these days.

Logitech’s latest esports mouse clicks faster and get you more kills — what happened to my scoreboards after a week gaming

Logitech's latest esports mouse, the G Pro X3 SuperStrike, is designed to provide a competitive edge for gamers, particularly those who play FPS and MOBA games. At first glance, the mouse appears standard with its lightweight design, two top buttons, and two side buttons. However, it boasts magnetic switches under the buttons, allowing for adjustable click actuation and rapid trigger.

The HITS switches, similar to those found in other high-end gaming keyboards, offer customizable haptic feedback and adjustable actuation for the left and right mouse buttons. This rapid trigger feature can provide a significant advantage in gaming, as it lowers the latency between actuating a button and registering a click. In competitive gaming, this can be the difference between getting a headshot or not.

The mouse also has an impressive polling rate of 8,000Hz and a max DPI of 48,000, ensuring precise and fast cursor movement. While there are some drawbacks, such as the lack of an ergonomic version and onboard DPI switch, and rivals offering more features at a lower price, the Logitech G Pro X3 SuperStrike remains one of the best gaming mice on the market.

In a week-long gaming test, the author found that the mouse's ultra-fast clicks gave them an average click per second of 7CPS, compared to 6CPS with a rival optical switch mouse. This extra click per second translated to more frequent and accurate firing in Counter-Strike 2 and Wardogs, resulting in a top three score. While the rapid trigger feature may not be as beneficial for longer gaming sessions, it certainly proved its worth in the initial moments of gameplay.
