The year is 2026 and Logitech has completely revolutionized the gaming mouse market: The brand new Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE does away with classic mechanical switches and instead relies on the “HITS” (Haptic Inductive Trigger System). But what’s behind it? What advantages and differences does it offer? And what are the best settings for different genres? You can find all the answers in our Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Guide.
Haptic Inductive Trigger System: A revolution in gaming mice
Let’s be honest: the gaming mouse sector has been bored for many years. Around 2020, the industry reduced the weight of the rodents and, in return, significantly increased the sensor performance. But otherwise? There were hardly any innovations worth mentioning.
Unlike gaming keyboards, where magnetic Hall-effect switches (or their successor called “TMR”) have long since replaced mechanical switches. But there was nothing comparable for mice. Until now.

Logitech has achieved something incredible with the new PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE. Not only does it allow you to customize the trigger feel, click speed and behavior of both primary buttons (a first), but it also registers mouse clicks so smoothly that you don’t even feel the mouse button being pressed. Unusual, yes. But just as unique and an enormous advantage when gaming.
What makes the Superstrike special?
This innovation is called the Haptic Inductive Trigger System and should not only offer a noticeably lower latency when triggering, but also enable an individual gaming experience.
H.I.T.S. technology explained
The H.I.T.S. system is based on three core components: An inductive plate under the mouse buttons, sensors on the circuit board for precise position detection and vibration motors for haptic feedback. The precision is up to 60 micrometers, which is incredibly accurate. Instead of mechanical switches, the mouse registers electromagnetic changes when you press the button.
The integrated haptic motors are so precisely tuned that even at 12 clicks per second, each individual click remains clearly perceptible and does not merge into a continuous vibration. The feedback from both primary buttons is isolated, allowing both buttons to be adjusted individually.
What are the advantages of the system?
With this inductive triggering technology, Logitech negates the problems of many gaming mice and classic mechanical switches, where the mechanical contact between two contact points always involves a certain delay, and also enables unique features that were previously only known from Hall Effect keyboards.
This new technology of the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE offers three decisive advantages in particular:
- Reduced latency: the Superstrike offers a measurable advantage of up to 30 milliseconds over traditional mechanical switches.
- Rapid Trigger: As known from Hall Effect keyboards, Rapid Trigger enables the key to be reset immediately when released. This makes jitter clicking and fast spamming of shots much more effective.
- Infinite durability: Without mechanical switches, there is no wear and tear from metal-to-metal contact and therefore no more double-click problems. Logitech is still conducting long-term tests, but is confident that the durability will far exceed previous mice.
The first point in particular is clearly noticeable in everyday gaming. Regardless of the game and your mouse settings. Speaking of the settings.
Settings of the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE
The Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE can of course be customized using the manufacturer’s well-known G HUB software, which is available for download for Windows and macOS.
The first time you start the app after connecting the Superstrike, you will be greeted by a short tutorial that introduces the special features of the wireless gaming mouse.
If you then click on the mouse icon, you can fine-tune the settings in four clearly arranged tabs:
- Sensitivity (DPI): Adjustment of five individual levels (optionally individual for the X and Y axes), the lift-off distance and sampling rate
- Assignments: Reassignment of all five buttons using individual actions or macros. Including G-Shift double assignment
- Scroll wheel: Activation of BHOP mode including sensitivity between 100 ms and 1,000 ms
- HITS configuration: The real special feature. Adjustment of actuation pressure, rapid trigger and click haptics
If desired, all settings can also be saved in the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE’s onboard memory, even as settings for different games or applications.
The best settings for the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE
Once you have unpacked the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE, you should definitely download G HUB and take a look at the settings. While many companion apps, especially for gaming mice, are hardly useful, this one is essential to get the most out of the rodent. But what are the best settings?
Configure DPI and polling rate
Open Logitech G Hub and create a custom preset. The most important change concerns the polling rate or signal rate, as it is called in the software. This can be adjusted between 125 Hz and 8,000 Hz in wireless mode.
A healthy average value of 2,000 Hz is ideal for most games, marking the sweet spot between accuracy and energy requirements.
Of course, you could also go higher. However, this comes at the expense of battery life and lower latency, which is usually only noticed by professional gamers. There is no fixed rule for the DPI setting, but these guidelines will help:
- 400-800 DPI: Standard for many professionals, optimal for precise flick shots in CS2 and Valorant
- 1600 DPI: Better for tracking-intensive games, minimally lower input latency
Depending on your preferences, higher values can also be considered here.
Calibrate mouse sensor
Calibrating the new and improved Hero 2 sensor is particularly useful when switching from another mouse. Slide both mice synchronously over your mousepad. The Superstrike copies exactly the same DPI distance. This compensates for manufacturer variations, as 400 DPI is not necessarily identical for different mice.
Deactivate mouse acceleration
Critically important: Go to Windows Settings → Mouse and disable “Improve pointer accuracy”. This Windows mouse acceleration is non-linear and inconsistent, which ruins your Aim. Tools like Mouse Movement Recorder can show if your tracking works 1:1.
Adjust Lift-Off Distance (LOD)
The LOD setting (Low/Medium/High) is now customizable. Medium is the recommended default, but experiment with the settings for custom skatez or glass pads. The setting affects the height at which the mouse no longer tracks your movements.
HITS setting 1: Actuation Point
The revolutionary feature of the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE: You can adjust the actuation point in a total of 10 steps between 0.1 mm and 1.0 mm. And even individually for the left and right primary keys. G HUB also shows you a practical visualization that displays the current pressure.
Most professionals use level 1 or level 2 for the maximum trigger speed. According to Logitech, this reduces the gap between amateur and pro players the most.
HITS setting 2: Click haptics
This is where things get really wild. The haptic feedback can be adjusted in five individual levels, which has a huge impact on the click feel of the Superstrike. At the “Off” setting, you virtually don’t feel anything at all when you press the button, while level 5 is reminiscent of classic mice (albeit much quieter):
- Level 1: Soft and clean, not intrusive – Our recommendation for most players
- Level 3: Standard setting for medium intensity
- Level 4-5: Very strong, too intense for some
Important to know: A higher level consumes more battery.
HITS setting 3: Activate quick trigger (Rapid Trigger)
Rapid Trigger is active by default when you select a low actuation point. This feature allows you to reset immediately without releasing the button completely. An absolute game changer for rapid firing.
The effect is particularly strong in games where fast tracking is important (e.g. CS2, Valorant and other competitive shooters). Adjustment is also possible here in a total of five levels.
Practical tips for optimum performance
- Mastering the learning curve: Expect some time to get used to it. The clicks feel completely different to mechanical switches: softer, more muted, but more precise.
- Training tip: Use the visualization in G Hub to see how far you press a button. Over time, you will develop muscle memory and no longer have to bottom out – this reduces fatigue.
- CS2 Pro-Settings: According to Reddit, CS2 pros in Tier 1 tournaments mostly use these settings for Superstrike (source: Reddit thread on Pro-Settings). Most stick to 1000-2000 Hz polling rate, as 8000 Hz leads to instability on some systems.
The best game settings
Valorant/CS2 (precision shooter):
- Actuation: 0.1-0.2 mm for maximum reaction time
- Haptics: Level 1-2 for minimum distraction
- 2000 Hz polling rate
Apex Legends/Tracking Games:
- Actuation: 0.2-0.3 mm to avoid misclicks
- Maximum utilization of Rapid Trigger for controlled firing
- 8000 Hz
MOBA (LoL, Dota 2):
- Actuation: 0.3-0.5 mm for more deliberate clicks
- Haptics: Level 2-3 for better feedback with abilities

FAQ: Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike
What is the H.I.T.S. system?
H.I.T.S. (Haptic Inductive Trigger System) replaces mechanical switches with inductive sensors and haptic feedback. Instead of physical contacts, the mouse registers electromagnetic changes with a precision of 60 micrometers. Vibration motors simulate the clicking sensation similar to a MacBook trackpad.
How much faster is the Superstrike really?
The Superstrike offers up to 30 milliseconds less latency compared to traditional mechanical switches. In a direct laboratory comparison with the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro, the Superstrike was 11 milliseconds ahead. Tests in Aim Labs showed 20-30 milliseconds faster response times.
What is the optimum actuation point?
Most professionals use 0.1-0.2 mm for maximum reaction speed. For tracking-intensive games, 0.2-0.3 mm is recommended to avoid misclicks. For MOBAs or strategic games, you can set 0.3-0.5 mm for more deliberate clicks.
Which haptic strength should I choose?
Level 1 is the most popular setting. Soft, clean and not intrusive. Level 3 is the standard setting with medium intensity. Levels 4-5 are very strong and too intense for most people. Higher levels consume more battery.
Can I configure the left and right mouse buttons differently?
Yes, this is a unique feature of the Superstrike. You can set M1 and M2 completely independently – different actuation points and haptic strengths for each button. Example: Left button at 0.1 mm for rapid fire, right button at 0.3 mm for more precise aiming.
What is the optimum polling rate?
For most setups, 2000 Hz is the sweet spot. 8000 Hz improves performance noticeably, but can lead to instability in some systems. CS2 professionals at tournaments usually stick to 1000-2000 Hz.
What is Rapid Trigger and how does it work?
Rapid Trigger allows the button to be reset immediately when released, without letting go completely. It activates automatically at low actuation points. Particularly effective for jitter clicking (over 11 clicks per second possible) and in tracking games.
How long does it take to get used to?
Allow 10-20 hours to get used to it. You will play worse at first because the clicks feel completely different – softer and more muted than mechanical switches. Use the visualization in G Hub during training to learn to click more easily.
How loud is the Superstrike?
The Superstrike is the quietest gaming mouse on the market. The haptic clicks produce barely audible noise. Ideal for late-night gaming or if you don’t want to disturb others. Only the side buttons still use traditional switches and are audible.
What does the Superstrike weigh?
61 grams, which is only 1 gram more than the Superlight 2. Logitech achieved this by using titanium screws instead of steel, a thinner top shell and bottom plate and recesses under the skatez. The weight distribution is 4mm further forward than the Superlight 2.
Does the Superstrike work without the G Hub?
Yes, as soon as you have saved your settings in the on-board memory.
How do I set the lift-off distance?
The LOD has three levels: Low, Medium and High. Medium is the recommended standard for most setups. Experiment with the settings if you are using custom skatez or glass pads. The setting determines the height at which the mouse stops tracking.
Is it worth upgrading from the Superlight 2?
Definitely yes for competitive gamers. The measurable latency advantage is real. If you play competitions or want to maximize your performance, the Superstrike offers real advantages.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 90 hours with haptic feedback on. Higher haptic levels consume more power, but battery life remains excellent even at level 5.
