The Drop
Logitech is back with the G Pro X3 Superstrike, dropping October 6th for $199.99. If you’re familiar with the X2, this isn’t exactly a whole new era; it’s more like a v1.5 update. You can cop it in a bold pink or a standard black.
What’s New?
The standout feature remains those haptic actuators under the buttons instead of basic mechanical switches. It’s a lowkey game-changer because you can actually customize how your click feels—from super subtle to a full-on jolt.
So, what are you getting for that extra $20 over the $179.99 X2?
- Better Battery: It’s hitting 135 hours per charge, a serious glow-up from the X2’s 90-hour claim.
- Sensor Upgrades: The Hero 2 sensor now hits 48K DPI (up from 44K) with higher acceleration and max speed.
- Weight: It’s managed to shed two grams, which is wild considering the battery life boost.
- Polling Rate: You’re looking at 8,000Hz polling now, though it’s worth noting the X2 already supported this wirelessly (quick correction there).
Why it matters
Real talk: unless you’re a pro gamer sweating the milliseconds, these upgrades are pretty incremental. The X2 is still a beast, and since it’s been seen dipping to $129.99 on sale, you might want to wait for a holiday deal on that model instead of dropping $200 on the X3. It’s giving “fine-tuning” rather than “must-have upgrade.” Save your coin unless you really need those extra hours of battery life.
