The Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike is a high-performance gaming mouse featuring the Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS), which utilizes electromagnetic coils instead of physical switches to register clicks. According to Club386, the X3 improves upon its predecessor with a new NxLogi chip based on the Nordic nRF54 platform, resulting in a 50% increase in rated battery life and superior weight distribution.
NxLogi Chip and Latency Gains at 1,000Hz
The primary internal upgrade is the transition from the Nordic nRF52833 microcontroller to Logitech’s custom NxLogi silicon. While both the X2 and X3 Superstrike show nearly identical latency under 8K polling—neither exceeding 0.02ms in OSLTT testing—the X3 shows a significant lead at lower polling rates. Club386 reports an average latency of 0.12ms at 1K polling for the X3, compared to 0.31ms for the X2.
This efficiency makes the X3 more reliable for players who avoid 8,000Hz polling due to CPU-intensive microstutters in titles like Overwatch 2 and Marvel Rivals. The device maintains a tight consistency window of 0.18ms between its lowest and highest latency measurements, according to Club386 data.
Pro Tip: If you experience system stuttering at 8K polling, drop to 1K or 4K. The X3’s NxLogi chip ensures you still maintain a competitive edge over traditional optical switches.
Weight Distribution and Regional Battery Differences
Logitech has shifted the balance across the whole device to improve handling. While the X2 skewed front-heavy, the X3’s balance makes lifts and quick micro-adjustments feel more natural in your hand.
Weight varies by region due to European Union regulations. The global model tips the scales at 59g, while the European version sits at 61g to accommodate a user-replaceable battery and protective housing. Club386’s independent weighing of a European unit measured 60.242g, noting that removing the puck shielding the hollow USB holder underneath can shave off an additional 1.216g.
HITS Technology and Sensor Specifications
The Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS) remains unchanged from the previous generation. It uses an electromagnetic coil to measure button travel, allowing for ten adjustable actuation points and five Rapid Trigger settings per button. Logitech claims this system registers clicks up to 30ms faster than standard switches, according to Club386.
The Hero 2 sensor has received a spec bump. According to Club386, the X3 increases sensitivity to 48,000 DPI (up from 44,000), max acceleration to 90G (up from 88G), and tracking speed to 930 IPS (up from 888 IPS). These figures place the X3 on par with the Razer Viper V4 Pro.
Did you know? HITS removes the physical switch entirely. The “click” you feel is actually a haptic rumble that you can adjust across five different intensities in the G Hub software.
Battery Life and Real-World Endurance
Logitech rates the X3 Superstrike for up to 135 hours of use, a 50% increase over the X2’s 90-hour rating. However, these figures assume haptics are disabled.
Hardware Comparison: X3 vs. X2 Superstrike
| Feature | G Pro X2 Superstrike | G Pro X3 Superstrike |
|---|---|---|
| Microcontroller | Nordic nRF52833 | NxLogi (nRF54 platform) |
| Max DPI | 44,000 | 48,000 |
| Rated Battery | 90 Hours | 135 Hours |
| Weight (Global) | 61g | 59g |
Software Customization and Pro Profiles
Configuration is handled via Logitech G Hub. Since the X3 lacks a physical DPI switch, users must rely on software profiles or remap side buttons to change sensitivity.
Logitech provides configuration options through G Hub, where you can curate macros, set a DPI switch, and adjust polling rates up to 8,000Hz.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the X3 Superstrike have a DPI button?
No. Users must set DPI profiles through the G Hub software or remap existing buttons.
Is the X3 significantly lighter than the X2?
Globally, it is 2g lighter (59g vs 61g). In the UK and the rest of Europe, it sits at the same 61g as the X2.
What is the price of the G Pro X3 Superstrike?
The mouse is priced at £169.99 / $179.99 / €179.99.
