<![CDATA[ <article> <h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-logitech-g-pro-x3-superstrike-review-two-minute-review"><span>Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike review: Two-minute review</span></h2><p>The Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike isn’t the gaming mouse revolution that its predecessor was. The <a href="https://www.techradar.com/computing/mice/logitech-pro-x2-superstrike-review">X2 Superstrike</a> wowed in our review when it launched earlier this year, earning a rare five-star score, with most of the praise centered around its incredibly HITS (haptic inductive trigger system) switches.</p><p>These allow the user to fully customize the actuation point of the two main mouse buttons in the Logitech G Hub companion software, so you can tweak them specifically for the game that you’re playing. Hair trigger actuation cuts down click latency in competitive first-person shooters like <em>Counter-Strike 2, </em>potentially giving you a split-second advantage, while going for deeper, more deliberate clicks might be preferable for productivity work or slower strategy titles.</p><p>You can also choose the level of haptic feedback provided with each input, ranging from very little (or even nothing) to robust, strong clicks. Built on much the same principles as popular Hall effect switches, the sensors are extremely durable too, which is a massive plus.</p><figure class="van-image-figure inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2560px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="cJNRjRVusFuw4JSt7wKEGN" name="33503" alt="The Logitech G pro X3 Superstrike gaming mouse in pink placed on a light-coloured wooden desk." src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/cJNRjRVusFuw4JSt7wKEGN-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2560" height="1440" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Though they now lack that initial novelty, the HITS switches remain superb in the Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike. Other things we appreciated, like the comfortable right-handed shape, two customizable side buttons, and understated aesthetic, remain just as good this time around as well — as very little has been changed on the surface beyond the introduction of two new colorways: a sleek Midnight Black and a bright Magenta Eclipse (a cool pink and black).</p><p>Internally, things are different. Logitech G has redesigned the weight distribution to make the mouse less top-heavy. It’s weighs very slightly less at 59g, so very comfortable and light, and is now more balanced overall, which makes it slide even more smoothly in your hand. It’s also powered by a new chipset, the NxLOGI, designed for increased power efficiency.</p><p>Logitech G claims that it has taken the battery life all the way to 135 hours per charge, up by 45 hours compared to the previous model. Although it didn’t quite hit that lofty target in my testing, it still comfortably lasts a full week of daily use even with power-hungry features like click haptics cranked up. </p><figure class="van-image-figure inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1835px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.24%;"><img id="FkmBrN6g2LVop4ECfgF8VW" name="Screenshot 2026-10-14 155721" alt="The Logitech G Hub software." src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/FkmBrN6g2LVop4ECfgF8VW-1920-80.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1835" height="1032" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Logitech)</span></figcaption></figure><p>The Logitech Pro X3 Superstrike has an upgraded Hero 2 sensor, too, raising the sensitivity from the X2’s 44,000 DPI (dots per inch) to 48,000 DPI and tracking speed from 888 IPS (inches per second) to 930 IPS. You can now access the 8,000Hz polling rate when using the mouse in a wired capacity too – the feature was previously locked to just wireless mode. </p><p>I’m not exactly an esports pro, but throughout my testing I found the mouse to be incredibly responsive and accurate, undoubtedly helping my performance as I sunk hour after hour into <em>Counter-Strike 2 </em>and <em>Call of Duty: Black Ops 7</em>.</p><p>I do wish Logitech G had packed even more upgrades to really justify the X3 name, but all contribute to a successor that is a clear upgrade compared to what came before. You do unfortunately have to pay a little more this time around, though, as you will see below.</p><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-logitech-g-pro-x3-superstrike-review-price-availability"><span>Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike review: Price & availability</span></h2><ul><li><strong>Costs $199.99 / £169.99 / AU$299.95</strong></li><li><strong>Available via Logitech and online retailers</strong></li><li><strong>More expensive than the X2 Superstrike</strong></li></ul><p>The Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike comes at $199.99 / £169.99 / AU$299.95 and is available via the official Logitech website and online retailers like Amazon.
