You use a mouse with a false “click”.

The Logitech race to offer an Esports mouse with the fastest response time led us to a completely different mouse from the one I used before. The mice relied on the same type of micro-switches for their button clicks for so long, it is difficult to imagine the next step. So, I didn’t know what to think when I sat in front of the Superstrike Logitech G Pro X2 mouse at $ 180 which does not “click” in the traditional sense. Instead, he uses haptic to provide a facsimile of the sensation of classic click.

The G Pro X2 Superstrike mouse is troubled in enough decal “x” and “+” that I imagined that I was looking at an offline prototype, which, to some extent, was. The G Pro X2 Superstrike uses what Logitech doubts its “Haptic inductive trigger system”, a name that breaks down into the “strike” inductor acronym. The mouse uses a set of copper coils creating an electromagnetic field – to bypass modern keyboards with room effect switches – to detect when users press its buttons. This type of inductive analog detection can determine the click journey – The depth of the button moves – through 10 actuation points and five reset points. Logitech claims that this offers a lower latency of 30 milliseconds to an optical mouse switch – which uses an infrared light beam to determine when you click on a mouse button.

This new type of “click” mouse also introduces the common “trigger” function on keyboards. This feature makes several quick succession entries. Optical switches must already use a cunning to offer one of the same clickable sensations of a mechanical mouse switch, such as the “LightForce” switches from Logitech found in the other business mice, such as the Pro 2 Lightspeed and Pro X Superlight 2. The G Pro X2 Superstrike instead of the “key in real time. I spent a few minutes slamming on an early prototype model, and I found that the sensation is always very different from a mechanical or optical mouse switch. It is less bouncing than even the silent switches that you will find in productivity mice like MX Master 3s in Logitech. The peripheral manufacturer told me that users could adjust the intensity of the haptic click in the G Hub application.

Users will also be able to customize these activation points and reset. Esport players can get a kick from setting up their own action points, but I cannot imagine that the vast majority of players will want to sit and refine their mouse click and click on the haptic until it reaches the levels of Goldilocks from “Just to the right”. If we judge the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike by its other specifications, it would be more or more the same thing. He uses the Logitech G Hero 2 sensor with an 8,000 Hz survey rate – measuring the frequency to which the device sends information to the computer. It has a DPI 44K – which measures the potential sensitivity of the mouse.

Logitech says that the G Pro X2 Superstrike weighs 65 g, which would make it one of the lighter game mouses of the company to date. The company also claims that it can obtain 90 hours of a single load battery life. The only thing the last of Logitech has on other mice is that it is compatible with the Mouspad G Powerplay 2, which offers a continuous load on the mouse battery. I operated on the wireless gaming mouse 56g Deathadder V4 Pro of Razer to test the PCs. It is a device such rationalized with redesigned optical switches intended to reduce actuation and latency. The Razer device minimizes latency with a Gen-2 Wired Hyperspeed Wired Wired Dongle promising just under 0.3 ms of average latency.

The new Logitech mouse should be available at the start of 2026 for $ 180. Whether it is the real future of ultra-fast mice, I will need more time to see if I can really get used to a mouse with a false click.
