It can be hard to choose the right mouse for the best esports games in 2026. There’s been no shortage of high-end precision pointers this year; none more surprising than the second-generation HITS model that’s become genuinely hard to beat. Kyusai’s Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike review (co-written with Josie Clark) goes over everything that makes this latest revision not only one of the best mice of the year, but of all time. If you’re serious about lowering the latency to align with your reaction times in games like CS2 and VALORANT, then you’ll want to read on.
Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike price & availability
The Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike is available now in territories such as the US, the UK, and wider Europe for $199.99 / £169 / €189.99, having been released at the beginning of October 2026. In a somewhat shocking fashion, this new version debuted just seven months after the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike, which is something that’s rarely ever been done in the peripheral world. Usually, we see iterative and major hardware revisions every handful of years; however, the company clearly prioritized pushing out a prized pointer as soon as possible here.
You’re going to have to pay a touch more for this refreshed variant over the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike price of $179.99 USD / £159.99 GBP / €169.99 (a markup of around 10% depending on region). There’s no easy way to say this: if you’ve already purchased the X2, expecting it to be the all-star mouse for the next few years without needing an upgrade, then it will no doubt sting to have that pointer be replaced so quickly. As for how the X3 Superstrike is priced against its competition, it’s about on par with other top-end esports mice such as the Razer Viper V4 Pro and the Corsair Sabre V2 Pro CF.
Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike design & features
It’s all about the HITS system as far as the Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike features go, and it’s just as good here as with the previous model. Instead of using optical switches, it uses a Haptic Inductive Trigger System, which is said to reduce latency. In other words, instead of a mechanical click, it’s a sensitivity system that lets you further customize the actuation point, click haptics, and even utilize Rapid Trigger, which is typically only seen on TMR or Hall Effect gaming keyboards such as the Cherry XTRFY MX 8.2 Pro TMR.
Where the Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike excels far beyond its predecessor, though, is how it gets the core fundamentals of what you need in an esports mouse right. That means a weight adjustment, as the X2 model was front-heavy; the X3 weighs in at just 61g and no longer feels top-heavy to flick around. The X3 Superstrike also has a new NxLOGI chipset, meaning it can last for up to 135 hours on a single charge, compared to its predecessor’s expected 90 hours or so that we saw in our testing.
There’s also a new sensor onboard the Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike, as the company’s upgraded to a new version of the Hero 2 sensor, with up to 48,000 DPI, 930 IPS speed, and 90 G of mouse acceleration. It’s ever so slightly better than what was in the X2 Superstrike and previous flagship mice from the brand, such as the beloved Superlight 2 from a few years ago. As with everything in the new peripherals range, you can find the X3 available in either black or pink eclipse, rather than the white of February’s variant. It’s a striking (sorry) mouse, and should stand out in your setup well.
Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike performance
I have owned and reviewed hundreds of mice over my extensive career as a tech and gaming journalist, and I’ll be blunt with you; I wasn’t sold on the X2 Superstrike earlier in the year, and neither was Kyusai Managing Director and former Counter-Strike professional player, Josie Clark. While the first iteration of HITS tech was impressive and novel, it felt too much like a gimmick that got in the way of what could have been a great pointer, essentially a Superlight 2 with a different click and a higher price tag. When I tested the X2 at Logitech’s office earlier in the year, I was unconvinced it could dethrone top efforts from Corsair and Razer.
I’m pleased to tell you that the Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike is a complete gamechanger, as it directly addresses all the problems I had with its predecessor, resulting in (frankly) the best mouse I’ve ever used. Not only does this new version feel incredibly light and slick in the hand, but its weight distribution and leading battery life have made it a joy to use for both everyday work and more intensive gaming sessions. It’s also far more responsive with its improved 2.4 GHz Lightspeed wireless connection, which feels so much more stable than before.
As an esports mouse, I believe the hype around the X3 Superstrike, because I’m playing better in competitive games like VALORANT with it than I was with previous pointers like the Razer Viper V4 Pro and my previous everyday Corsair Sabre V2 Pro MG, which I considered the gold standard. I primarily play a Duelist role in VALORANT, and anyone who’s been in my position knows how tough entry on site can be, and that you need every millisecond you can get when making first contact, creating space, and winning those first-blood duels.
I’m far from the best VALORANT player on the planet (despite playing it every day), but I do have one thing that few other people possess: quick reaction times. I grew up in the Fighting Game Community (FGC), and even closing in on 30 years old, my average reaction times hover around the 160ms mark. Through the Logitech G Hub, you can easily configure HITS settings that are right for you. I enabled Rapid Trigger, with a Short Click and Click Haptics set to 2 on the respective sliders. Now, when I’m duelling people, I’m almost always winning every 1v1 gunfight, even if the X3 Superstrike doesn’t magically improve my game sense, map knowledge, and pre-aim. I also recommend keeping wired and wireless to 8,000Hz (or 8K) for the smoothest experience.
I went from a skeptic of the Superstrike in its first variant to a ride-or-die with the X3. Whether I’m practicing in Aimlabs, deathmatching, or playing Competitive in VALORANT, the Logitech G X3 Superstrike is the only mouse I look to if I want to make any meaningful improvement. If you already own the X2, it will be a hard sell, but for everyone else who wants to take their FPS gameplay seriously and can afford the asking price, there’s nothing like it on the market.
