With great sensitivity, all kinds of shapes and pimples, RGB lighting, and more, you might think that the scope of innovation in a game mouse has probably reached its peak. To this, Logitech made a great old “Hold My Beer”.
During its large annual event G Play, the Logitech playing arm removed the covers from the new Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike mouse. Looking for a guest in black and white Star Wars Stormtrooper, you might confuse it as a lively game mouse and move on.
But the Pro X2 Superstrike is crashing an “innovation focused on industry” in that it has analog mouse clicks, the less mobile parts.
While many game mice use mechanical switches, the click is engaged or not. An analog click mechanism powered by magnetic room effect sensors, such as those found in high -end game rides and play keyboards, allows adjustable actuation points; The point where a movement, such as a tap, click, push or pull, trigger an action.
This can allow greater control and personalization of a mouse click, but then, without real physical click mechanism, there is no comments to tell a user that a click has been triggered.
The intelligent thing that Logitech G has made with the Pro X2 Superstrike is to use a “haptic inductive trigger system”. Thus, rather than having a mobile click mechanism, the mouse uses haptics to transmit the physical sensation of a click; It is a fashion similar to the way Apple uses haptics in its trackpad Force Touch.
When used in combination with the Glu HUB software from Logitech, you have 10 levels of actuation to choose and five rapid reset levels, which should allow you to personalize when the clicks are triggered to adapt to your play style.
After trying this briefly for me, I was quite impressed. You can have the click trigger from the lightest pressures to hard strokes of an index; Something I am sure that professional esports players and first -person shooting fans will appreciate.
There is also a quick trigger mechanism, which you get on keyboards and controllers with room effects in the room, by which you can have an input of a trigger or a reset of the key when you reduce the pressure on them, without the need for the mechanism to return to its previous position. With haptics replacing the click mechanism, you can have this speed in the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike.
I am not a competitive player, so in my very short time by clicking in the new mouse and using the GG to modify it, it is difficult to have an idea of the quick trigger here.
But I think it is a careful addition to a gaming mouse and a functionality that I am sure that dedicated FPS players, sports pros or streamers will appreciate, especially since Logitech says that superstrike technology can reduce the click latency by 30 milliseconds.
There are also a multitude of other game mouse technologies in the Pro X2 Superstrike, such as a sensor with a maximum of 44,000 DPIs and an 8 kHz survey rate to maintain the precise and catchy mouse movement.
I appreciated it from the point of view of technology, and as a fan of Force Touch Trackpad – the best trackpad of all the contenders for our best list of laptops – and the mouse of Logitech, there is certainly a crawling attraction for the Pro X2 Superstrike, even if I lack the gaming chops to get the most out.
As for the rest of the mouse, this recalls other Mouse of Logitech games. There is nothing crazy in the design department here, but it is very comfortable to grasp in the same way that I think that a lot of Logitech mouse do it. If you like this design, you will feel at home with the Pro X2 Superstrike; If you are more a Razer mouse fan, you may need to subtly adapt to this mouse.
At $ 179.99 / € 179.99, you must be ready to pay a bonus for the Logitech G X2 Pro Superstrike, but you then get new technology for this expense.
In addition, I would be curious to see how the other brands, Razer included, react to this and if such haptics could inaugurate a new horizon for game mice.
Fantastic light weight
For those of you who turn your nose in Pro X2 Superstrike, then Logitech G has another mouse to tickle your face: the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2C.
This bite of a name is a very light vision of the Pro X Superlight 2 in Logitech, and is smaller to start. Designed in collaboration with professional players, the Superlight 2C was made for people who like to adopt a so-called “grip” of their game mouse.
I gave the new mouse a rapid spring, and even if I prefer mice with a little more weight and which can be rocked in my hand, it’s always a little game equipment; But not my cup of tea.
If it looks like yours, it is published on October 21 for a price of $ 159.99 / £ 159.99 £ 299.95 in.
What could be more attractive to me, and surprising is the updated Logitech G515 Rapid TKL. This is the first keyboard of the company with analog keys with a low profile.
This design allows the rapid activation of the keys and the use of the rapid trigger system to make taps and pressures of superfast keys, many of which can be modified and personalized in the G HUB software.
Although I don’t mind a lack of travel in laptop keyboards, I like my desktop computers to have deep and satisfactory mechanical clicks. I don’t always like the keys so shallow. But the G515 Rapid TKL can be the keyboard to convince me, because pressing this was fast, catchy and satisfactory.
Not being able to do it for a long rotation, and not being good enough in hardcore games to really kiss the quick trigger mechanism, it was good to type at high speed; I could have imagined it, but I thought I was doing fewer strikes while my fingers struck the keys.
Logitech could make me rethink my current mechanical keyboard with deep keys, and encourages me to mince an upgrade. You can get one today for $ 169.99 / £ 139.99 / $ 329.95 in.
There was no longer to see at Logitech G Play, but on the side of the PC office games, these are the strengths. Personally, I would like to give the logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike a bigger blow once it will arrive next year, and I am curious to see the G515 Rapid TKL. What attracted your attention?
