Logitech launches the G PRO X3 SUPERSTRIKE gaming mouse with improved balance and HITS tech, but its high price and quick release cycle draw criticism.
New gaming mouse and pad released
Logitech has introduced the G PRO X3 SUPERSTRIKE gaming mouse and the PRO X CONTROL mouse pad, targeting the gaming and esports market with updated features and design improvements.HITS technology retained
The G PRO X3 SUPERSTRIKE keeps the HITS (Haptic Inductive Trigger System) technology from its predecessor, allowing users to adjust the trigger depth and haptic feedback of the mouse's primary buttons through Logitech G HUB software.Lighter and more balanced design
The mouse is lighter than the previous model, weighing 61 grams in the European version, and has a revised internal component layout to improve balance, addressing earlier issues with front-heavy weight distribution.Advanced sensor and connectivity
The mouse features the HERO 2 sensor, which offers up to 48,000 DPI, a tracking speed of 930 IPS, and a maximum acceleration of 90 G. It supports a polling rate of up to 8,000 Hz via both wireless LIGHTSPEED and USB-C connections.Minimalist design with color options
The mouse maintains a minimalistic design with a smooth shell, clean adjustments, and no RGB lighting. It also includes a distinctive red-pink color option, different from the standard black and white versions.Comfort-focused mouse pad
The PRO X CONTROL mouse pad is designed for comfort and precision, featuring a thick foam layer for wrist support and a non-slip base. It measures 46 x 40 cm and is 6 mm thick, but its price of 69.99 euros has been noted as high.High price and quick release cycle
The G PRO X3 SUPERSTRIKE and PRO X CONTROL are priced at 189.99 euros and 69.99 euros respectively. This comes just eight months after the release of the previous model, G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE, raising concerns about the value for current owners of the older version.Target audience and market response
The G PRO X3 SUPERSTRIKE is aimed at competitive gamers seeking customizable click behavior and enhanced performance. However, its high cost and rapid release have limited its appeal, as the improvements are seen as modest by many users.
