With super sensitivity, all kinds of shapes and buttons, RGB lighting and more, might think that the scope of innovation in a game mouse has probably reached its maximum point. To that, Logitech made a great old man ” Hold My Beer ‘.
In its great annual event G Play, Logitech’s play arm removed the covers of the new Mouse Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike. Seeing a black and white free of the style of Star Wars Stormtrooper, it could confuse it as a sharp -looking play mouse and move on.
But the Pro
While many game mice use mechanical switches, the click is committed or not. A analog click mechanism driven by the magnetic hall effects sensors, such as those found in high -end gamepads and games keyboards, allows adjustable action points; The point at which a movement, such as a touch, click, push or throw, triggers an action.
This can allow greater control and customization of a mouse click, but then, without a real physical click mechanism, there are no comments to tell a user that a click has been activated.
The intelligent thing that Logitech G has done with the Pro X2 Superstrike is to use an “haptic inductive activation system.” Then, instead of having a movement click mechanism, the mouse uses haptics to transmit the physical sensation of a click; It is similar to the way Apple uses haptic in its Force Touch TrackPad.
When used in combination with Logitech’s G hubtware, it has 10 levels of action to choose from and five rapid activation restart levels, which should allow you to customize when clicks are activated to adapt to your game style.
After trying this briefly for me, it impressed me a lot. You can have click activator from lighter presses to hard blows of an index finger; Something that I am sure that professional eSports players and fans of the first -person shooters will appreciate.
There is also a rapid activation mechanism, which is something you get on keyboards and controllers with living room effect mechanisms, so you can have a trigger for a trigger or touch of a keyboard restart at the time it reduces the pressure on them, without the need for the mechanism to return to its previous position completely. With the Haptics that replace the click mechanism, you can have that speed in the Superstrike Logitech G Pro X2.
I am not a competitive player, so in my short time clicking on the new mouse and using the G hub to adjust it, it is difficult to have an idea of the quick trigger here.
But I do believe that it is a good addition to a game mouse and a feature that I am sure that dedicated SPF players, electronic sports professionals or streamers will appreciate, especially because Logitech states that Supertrike technology can reduce the latency of clicking 30 milliseconds.
There is also a lot of other game mice technology at the Pro X2 Superstrike, such as a sensor with a maximum of 44,000 DPI and an 8 kHz voting rate to maintain the precise and agile mouse movement.
I appreciated it from a technological perspective, and as a fan of the Force Touch TrackPad, the best trackpad of all the contestants for our list of the best laptops, and Logitech mice, there is definitely a progressive attraction for the Pro X2 Superstrike, even if it lacks games of games to make the most of it.
As for the rest of the mouse, remember other Logitech games mice. There is nothing crazy in the design department, but it feels clearly comfortable to grab in the same way that many Logitech mice do. If you like that design, you will feel at home with the Pro X2 Superstrike; If you are more a Razer Mouse fan, then you may have to subtly adjust to this mouse.
At $ 179.99 / € 179.99, you must be prepared to pay a premium for the logitech G X2 Pro Superstrike, but then you are obtaining a new technology for that disbursement.
In addition, he was curious to see how other brands, Razer included, react to this and if such Háptics could mark the beginning of a new horizon for games mice.
Light fantastic
For those of you who light your nose in the Pro X2 Superstrike, then Logitech G has another mouse to tickle: the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2C.
That bite of a name is a very light version of Logitech’s Pro X Superlight 2, and is smaller to start. Designed in collaboration with professional players, the Superlight 2C has been made for the people who like to adopt ‘claw grip’ to their game mouse.
I gave the new mouse a fast spring, and although I prefer mice with a little more weight and that can be cradled in my hand, it is still a bit of game hardware; It is simply not my cup of tea.
If it sounds like yours, it will be launched on October 21 for a price of $ 159.99 / £ 159.99 / AU $ 299.95.
What could be more attractive to me and, surprisingly, is the Logitech G515 Rapid TKL updated. This is the company’s first keyboard with low profile analog keys.
This design allows a quick keys and the use of the rapid activation system to make super fast taps and presses, many of which can be adjusted and customized in the G Hub software.
While I do not care about the lack of trips on the keyboards of the laptop, I like that my desks have deep and satisfactory mechanical clicks. So the low profile keys do not always attract me. But the G515 Rapid Tkl can be the keyboard to convince me, since hitting it felt fast, agile and satisfactory.
Not being able to take it for a long turn, and not be good enough in the Hardcore games to really accept the rapid activation mechanism, it felt good to write at speed; I could have imagined it, but I thought I had made less typographic errors while my fingers hit the keys.
Logitech could make me rethink my current mechanical keyboard with deep profile keys, and asks me to chew an update. You can get one today for $ 169.99 / £ 139.99 / AU $ 329.95.
There was more to see in Logitech G Play, but on the side of the desktop PC games, those were the highlight. Personally, I would love to give Logitech G Pro What do you have your attention? Avise me in the comments below.
