Background: Haptic Clicks and the X2 Predecessor
Logitech introduced haptic actuators beneath the primary buttons with the G Pro X2 Superstrike in February 2024. Those actuators replace traditional mechanical switches, allowing users to adjust click feel—from subtle to jolty—or disable it entirely. The X2 remained on sale at $179.99, and its brief price dip to $129.99 earlier this year is cited as a reference point for potential holiday discounts on the X3.
Specifications and Pricing
The X3 retains the haptic system while adding several incremental upgrades:
- Sensor: Hero 2, up to 48 K DPI (vs. 44 K DPI on X2)
- Acceleration: 90 G (up from 88 G)
- Maximum speed: 930 IPS (vs. 888 IPS)
- Polling rate: 8 000 Hz wireless (X2 reached this only via USB-C)
- Battery life: up to 135 hours per charge, compared with 90 hours on the X2
- Weight: 61 g in EMEA version, two grams lighter than the X2’s US model
The mouse ships for $199.99, while the X2 continues to be available at $179.99.
Market Reception and Outlook
The review characterizes the enhancements as “incremental” and suggests they may be “inconsequential” for casual gamers, though professional players could benefit from the lower latency and customizable click feel. The rapid release of a follow-up model is described as “puzzling,” given the modest nature of the improvements. Nonetheless, keeping the X2 in the lineup may allow price-sensitive consumers to experience Logitech’s haptic technology at a lower cost.
Anticipated Pricing Dynamics
Because the X2’s price briefly fell to $129.99, the article speculates that a similar discount could appear for the X3 ahead of the holiday season, though no official pricing schedule has been announced.
