Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike Review: $200 for the illusion of a click
Logitech's G Pro X3 Superstrike is a minor but noticeable update to its revolutionary mouse — there's a new chipset and the weight has been rebalanced, so it lasts longer and feels better. And it costs $200.
Logitech has unveiled an upgraded version of its acclaimed gaming mouse, the Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike. Priced at $199.99, the new model boasts several enhancements over its predecessor, the G Pro X2 Superstrike. The most notable improvements include Logitech's new NxLOGI chipset, which boosts performance and efficiency and supports 8,000 Hz polling over both wired and wireless connections.
The mouse weighs 2 grams less than its predecessor and features a more centered weight distribution, making it feel more balanced and comfortable to use. The G Pro X3 Superstrike maintains the same shape as the previous models, with a pseudo-symmetrical design and a centered hump. It comes in two color options: black and magenta eclipse.
The mouse has the same smooth matte finish as its predecessors but is prone to fingerprints. It features five programmable buttons, a clickable scroll wheel with textured rubber, and a power switch. The G Pro X3 Superstrike also includes a magnetic mouse puck for customization and a power puck for charging. The mouse's performance is enhanced by Logitech's Hero 2 optical sensor, capable of a maximum resolution of 48,000 DPI, a maximum speed of 930 IPS, and a maximum acceleration of 90 G. The sensor's performance is further optimized by Logitech's NxLOGI chipset, allowing for higher resolution, speed, and acceleration.
The mouse also features Logitech's Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS), which creates the illusion of a mouse click through haptic motors and inductive sensors. While the haptic feedback is convincing, it lacks the firmness of a real switch. Overall, the Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike is a powerful gaming mouse with advanced features and improved performance, but its $200 price tag may be a hurdle for some potential buyers.
