Logitech announced the PRO X3 SUPERSTRIKE on September 23, 2026 at its G PLAY event, seven months after the PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE reached shops. The new mouse costs $199.99 on Logitech’s US store, $20 more than the X2 at $179.99, and both are still on sale side by side. The headline technology, a click with no microswitch, carries over unchanged. What changed is a new chipset, a longer rated battery life, two grams less weight and 8 kHz polling over the cable. Owners of an X2 have little reason to replace it. For anyone choosing between the two today, the gap is small enough to decide on battery alone.
The click tuning is the same on both
Both mice use HITS, Logitech’s Haptic Inductive Trigger System. An inductive sensor reads how far each main button has traveled, and a small haptic actuator produces the click you feel. Our explainer on haptic mouse clicks versus physical switches covers how that works and why a simulated click can feel odd at first.
The settings did not grow. Logitech’s X2 page lists “ten actuation points and five rapid-trigger reset points” and six haptic intensity levels. Its announcement of the X3 lists 10 actuation levels, 5 rapid trigger reset options and 6 haptic feedback settings. The claim attached to both is the same too, that HITS cuts click latency “by up to 30 ms” against a conventional switch. That is Logitech’s figure, and no independent measurement of the X3 exists yet.
So the part of the SUPERSTRIKE that people argue about, whether a haptic click feels right under your finger, is no different on the new model. If you tried an X2 in a shop and disliked it, the X3 will not change your mind.
Where the PRO X3 SUPERSTRIKE differs
The changes sit inside the shell. The X3 is the first PRO mouse with Logitech’s new NxLOGI chipset, which the company credits with lower power draw, sturdier wireless and lower latency. Both columns of the table come from Logitech’s own US product pages.
| PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE | PRO X3 SUPERSTRIKE | |
|---|---|---|
| US price | $179.99 | $199.99 |
| Weight | 61 g | 59 g |
| Rated battery, constant motion | 90 h | 135 h |
| Wireless report rate | 8,000 Hz | 8,000 Hz |
| Wired report rate | 1,000 Hz | 8,000 Hz |
| Sensor | HERO 2 | HERO 2 |
| Buttons | 5 | 5 |
The wired figure is the one most comparisons will miss. The X2 drops to 1,000 Hz when you plug the cable in, and the X3 keeps 8,000 Hz either way. That matters to players who run a cable at tournaments or charge while they play.
The weight saving is two grams on the US pages. Logitech’s announcement adds that the X3 weighs 61 g in EMEA, which puts a European X3 at the same weight as a US X2. The company does not explain the difference.
The battery claim, checked
Logitech says the chipset “reduces power consumption by 50% compared to PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE, adding 45 hours” per charge. Those two numbers do not fit together on their own. Halving power draw on the same battery would double the X2’s 90 hours to about 180. The rated 135 hours is 1.5 times the X2, which works out to roughly a third less power over a full charge.
There are honest explanations. The 50 percent may describe one component rather than the whole mouse, or the X3 may carry a smaller cell to hit its lower weight. Logitech publishes no battery capacity for either model, so the gap cannot be settled from its pages. For a buyer, the 135-hour rating is the figure to plan around. At four hours of play a day, that is a charge about once a month instead of every three weeks.
Sensor figures that disagree
Logitech’s store page for the X3 listed the HERO 2 sensor at 100 to 44,000 DPI and more than 888 IPS, the same figures as the X2. The company’s announcement blog says the X3 has an “upgraded HERO 2 sensor” that reaches 48,000 DPI and 930 IPS. One of the two pages is out of date, and Logitech had not corrected either by September 24. By October 9, 2026, the store page’s spec table read 100 to 48,000 DPI and more than 930 IPS, though one feature block there still said up to 44,000 DPI and over 940 IPS.
For play it changes little. You choose your own DPI in G HUB, and either ceiling sits far above the settings people aim with.
When it ships, and where
Logitech’s US store showed the X3 as in stock and ready to ship on September 24, in Magenta Eclipse and Midnight Black. Engadget reported an availability date of October 6. Logitech’s press release says regional prices and launch timing will come through its regional channels, so there is no confirmed European or UK price yet.
Which one to buy
If you own a Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE, keep it. The clicks are configured identically, the sensor is at worst the same, and the main gain is fewer charges.
For a new buyer, the X3 is the one to pick at $20 more. Forty-five extra hours of rated battery and full-speed wired polling are worth that difference, unless the X2 drops in price once the X3 is widely stocked. Wait for independent latency and battery testing if you are paying full price outside the US, where the X3’s price is still unknown.
