Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about adjustable actuation point with 10 different levels — just accept heavy and front-heavy design, not ideal for tracking-based games.
The reviewer concludes that the Logitech Superstrike "does exactly what it says it does" in reducing pre-travel and input latency. While acknowledging that very low actuation settings can be "potentially deadly" for competitive play if adapted to, the reviewer personally found them hard to use due to misclicks. They ultimately state the usable improvement for most players is "not huge," but it is "definitely an upgrade" for existing G Pro X/Superlight users due to improved click feel.
This video reviews the Logitech Superstrike gaming mouse, focusing on its unique analog switches and adjustable actuation points. The reviewer conducts custom tests to measure the real-world latency reduction offered by these features and compares it to other high-performance gaming mice, while also assessing its practical impact on gaming performance.
Introducing groundbreaking analog switch technology, the Logitech Superstrike X2 offers a competitive edge for some players. Its adjustable actuation point can significantly reduce real-world latency by up to 35 milliseconds compared to deep actuation settings, with the reviewer measuring a 27-ms difference against the Endgame Gear OP1 8K in speed mode. However, the mouse's heavy and front-heavy design, combined with a shape lacking modern contouring, makes it less comfortable for tracking-focused games, and the very low actuation settings were difficult for the reviewer to adapt to without misclicking. If you are a G Pro X user looking for an upgrade with innovative click technology and are willing to adjust your grip and playstyle, this mouse is definitely worth considering. If you prioritize lightweight design and familiar ergonomics for tracking-heavy games, you might find its weight and shape to be a significant drawback.

The Logitech Superstrike features inductive coils and haptic motors instead of traditional physical switches, allowing it to sense how far the trigger is pressed down.
reviewer_claimpositivet=0:26–0:36
The mouse generates an analog signal from the inductive coil, allowing users to adjust the actuation point across 10 different levels, from most sensitive (level one) to deepest (level 10).
comparisonneutralt=0:36–0:46
A normal mouse switch depth is roughly comparable to level six on the Superstrike, meaning settings above this effectively remove pre-travel delay compared to a standard mouse.
hands_on_demopositivet=0:53–1:14
Haptic motors under each trigger simulate a physical click, providing a 'bump back' sensation instead of a force drop-off. The haptic strength is adjustable, and the reviewer preferred the lightest setting (level one).
measurement_testneutralt=1:46–1:55
The reviewer used a 'bro science' testing method: resting a finger on the trigger, pressing with normal force, and measuring the time delay between trigger movement and a monitor flash using a high-speed camera.
measurement_testpositivet=1:55–2:04
After taking 40 samples, the average end-to-end latency for Level 1 actuation was just below 10 milliseconds, which the reviewer described as "absurdly quick" for the entire chain plus movement delay.
measurement_testneutralt=2:04–2:11
Testing revealed a 35 millisecond difference in latency between the Level 1 (most sensitive) and Level 10 (deepest) actuation settings, demonstrating how much pre-travel contributes to real-world latency.
comparisonpositivet=2:22–2:27
Compared to the Endgame Gear OP1 8K, one of the fastest mice, the Superstrike showed a 27 millisecond difference, confirming Logitech's claim of being up to 30ms faster with normal pressing force.
comparisonpositivet=2:38–2:42
Even with the Superstrike at a more conservative Level 5 actuation (slightly above a normal click), it still yielded faster results than the OP1 8K, indicating efficient analog and firmware processing.
reviewer_claimnegativet=2:59–3:07
The reviewer experienced mistiming and misclicking shots at actuation levels one, two, and even three, requiring a more relaxed and passive index finger grip that felt uncomfortable.
reviewer_claimpositivet=3:07–3:13
The reviewer's personal 'sweet spot' for confident play, avoiding misclicks while still feeling a shorter pre-travel, was around actuation level four or five.
comparisonpositivet=3:30–3:34
The reviewer states that the clicks and triggers on the Superstrike, even with haptics turned down and actuation at level four, feel better than any previous Superlight mouse they have tried.
reviewer_claimnegativet=3:59–4:03
The Superstrike is over two and a half times the weight of the reviewer's preferred Zero mouse and feels a bit front-heavy, which is a concern for tracking-based games.
reviewer_claimnegativet=4:03–4:06
The reviewer noted that the Superstrike's shape lacks the contouring and ergonomic support that many modern gaming mice offer.
reviewer_claimpositivet=4:18–4:23
The reviewer found the software and overall implementation, including how the features integrate, to be flawless and extremely well-executed.
In the reviewer's custom testing, the Superstrike's Level 1 actuation delivered an average end-to-end latency of just below 10 milliseconds. It was also measured to be 27 milliseconds faster than the Endgame Gear OP1 8K, which is considered one of the fastest traditional gaming mice available. This demonstrates its capability for extremely quick inputs.
The mouse utilizes unique inductive coil technology, which senses the depth of a trigger press and allows users to customize the actuation point across ten distinct levels. Level one is the most sensitive, providing almost no input travel, while level ten is the deepest, offering more dead zone.
The Superstrike incorporates haptic motors under each trigger that simulate a physical click feel. These haptics are adjustable across multiple strength settings, and the reviewer personally preferred the lightest setting. While they can be completely disabled for a purely passive trigger, the reviewer advises against it.
While the lowest actuation settings provide the fastest input, the reviewer experienced mistiming and misclicking shots at levels one, two, and three. This required them to play with a more relaxed and passive index finger, which felt uncomfortable and inhibited their confident gameplay. They found a "sweet spot" at levels four or five that allowed for confident play without misclicks.
The reviewer states that for those who currently use or enjoy the G Pro X or Superlight series, the Superstrike is "definitely an upgrade." They specifically highlight that the clicks and triggers, even at moderate actuation and haptic settings (like Level 4 actuation with Level 1 haptics), feel better than any previous Superlight mouse they have tried.
The reviewer found the Superstrike to be significantly heavier than their preferred lightweight mice (over two and a half times the weight of their Zero mouse) and slightly front-heavy, which they consider a drawback for tracking-based games. Additionally, the mouse's shape was described as lacking the ergonomic contouring and support typically offered by many modern gaming mice.
100/100 source quality
The Logitech Superstrike mouse features unique inductive coil switches and haptic motors, allowing for an adjustable actuation point across ten levels. The reviewer tested the latency, finding that Level 1 actuates under 10 milliseconds and can be up to 27 milliseconds faster than other top gaming mice. While the technology effectively reduces pre-travel, the reviewer found very low actuation settings led to misclicks in actual gameplay, preferring settings around level four or five for confidence. Despite the measurable speed improvements, the practical gaming benefit for most confident players may be limited, but the mouse offers a better click feel for G Pro X users.
