Logitech G PRO X2 Superstrike Review: Does HITS Tech Revolutionize Gaming Mice?

For years, the gaming mouse market has been dominated by a race to slash weight. Manufacturers competed to punch holes in shells, shrink batteries, and shave mass off scroll wheels. The new Logitech G PRO X2 Superstrike abandons this obsession with weight records, going down an entirely different path. Logitech implements **HITS (Haptic Inductive Trigger System)** technology, aiming to bring the benefits of magnetic keyboard switches directly to your fingertips.

This is an attempt to revolutionize click registration by introducing adjustable actuation and rapid reset (Rapid Trigger for mice). We tested how this esports-focused device performs in tactical shooters like Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant, how it compares to previous G PRO models, and what the gaming community on Reddit thinks of this new tech.

The evolution of the G PRO series: From classic to Superstrike

To fully understand why the Superstrike is such a significant release, it helps to take a look at the history of Logitech's iconic esports lineup:

• G PRO Wireless (2018): The mouse that revolutionized the esports scene. A symetric wireless design weighing 80 grams showed that going cordless did not mean sacrificing latency. The main downside was the mechanical Omron switches, which eventually developed double-clicking issues.
• G PRO X Superlight (2020): Shaving the iconic shape down to just 63 grams. Removing the right-side buttons and RGB lighting started a trend of pure esports pragmatism.
• G PRO X Superlight 2 (2023): Introduced Lightforce hybrid optical-mechanical switches, the Hero 2 sensor, and 2K/4K Hz polling rates while dropping the weight slightly to 60 grams.
• G PRO X2 Superstrike (2026): Weighing 61 grams with 8000 Hz polling and a complete click overhaul. Traditional microswitches are replaced by inductive coils and a haptic engine (HITS), giving players total control over actuation travel and tactility.

What sets the Superstrike apart?

On paper, the Superstrike is an absolute beast. Most notably, Logitech claims up to a **30 ms reduction in click latency** compared to standard microswitches, thanks to the contactless inductive sensors.

HITS in action: Reddit and gamer feedback

The release of the Superstrike sparked massive discussions on Reddit and other community platforms. We analyzed the feedback from early testers and competitive players. Here are the main takeaways:

1. Instant shots in tactical shooters

CS2 and Valorant players widely praise the HITS implementation. Shortening the actuation point (setting it to levels 1-3 in G HUB) means a minimal fingertip touch registers a click. Reddit users report an immediate benefit for single-tap firing and faster trigger spam with pistols like the USP-S or Desert Eagle.

2. The "linear" click feel – learning curve required

Because there is no traditional physical microswitch, the tactile feedback of the click is generated artificially by a haptic engine. Many Reddit users noted an initial learning curve: the click feels very light, almost linear, and lacks the crisp, mechanical resistance of traditional switches. Getting used to this new dynamic generally takes a few days to a week.

3. G HUB software complaints

The biggest point of criticism centers around Logitech's software. Fine-tuning the actuation and haptic feedback strength requires G HUB. Furthermore, users report that custom profiles do not always save reliably to the onboard memory, causing issues at LAN events where installing software is restricted.

SPAWNSY verdict

If you play at a highly competitive level and want every millisecond of advantage, the Superstrike is built for you. However, if your gaming sessions are purely casual, the older Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 remains a much more practical and traditional choice.
