I was just as surprised as anyone to hear word back in July that we could see another Logitech Superstrike gaming mouse this year. The first one, the G Pro X2 Superstrike, only launched a few months ago, and yet rumours suggest the X3 Superstrike will be revealed later this month during the Logitech G Play event. And now, given an Amazon video attributed to Logitech Canada (via Jakeu on X), this seems all but confirmed.
I'll be attending G Play, so hopefully I'll get to see the new mouse in person, but I haven't actually been told what I'll be seeing there yet. Given this video, though, it's gotta include the new Superstrike, right?

Previous leaks and rumours suggested an X3 Superstrike that has the option of an all-black colourway (excluding some white accents) or a pink-and-black design. The video on Amazon confirms both of these. These previous rumours had also claimed the new version would have an upgraded controller, plus some tweaks to the haptic-inductive trigger system (HITS).
The HITS system is, of course, the main draw to the Logi Superstrike. The induction technology allows for adjustable actuation and rapid trigger, effectively allowing you to lessen the latency between deciding to click and actually clicking. The haptic system means you get the feeling of a click when you click, despite the differing actuation levels.
In the video, a new chipset and "upgraded" sensor are confirmed, the latter of which allows for an an additional 4,000 DPI, up to 48,000. But in addition to this, there are a couple more interesting claims. First is that we'll be seeing an extra +50% battery life, up to 135 hours from the original Superstrike's 90 hours at 1,000 Hz polling. Second is that the mouse will apparently have "refined weight and balance."
This last point is something a fair few people should be happy about, because some people didn't like the weighting of the X2 Superstrike. Logitech managed to shave off enough weight to keep it to around 60 g despite the new HITS system, but this made it quite front-weighted. Hopefully "refined weight and balance" means a more even distribution. And I might be piping up a fool's hope, here, but if some extra grams can be shaved off, then even better.
At any rate, it looks like we shouldn't have long to wait to find out. Maybe Logi will also do something about those mushy side buttons. In my book, that would truly leave the X3 Superstrike in top standing for competitive gaming.
