We might see a new Logitech Superstrike this September, just a few months after the world's first proper analogue mouse launched

When it comes to gaming mice, big innovations don't come around that often. Earlier this year there was one, though, as Logitech was the first to put proper analogue clicks in a mouse using a mix of haptics and induction in the G Pro X2 Superstrike. And now, rumour has it we'll be seeing a second version very soon.

That's according to someone the peripheral reviewer Jakeu calls a "highly trusted leaker", who revealed it on the reviewer's Discord server. What will it be like? "No Hero 3. Upgrade main-controller. Further tweaks for HITS."

Apparently we'll be seeing the new Superstrike at Logitech G Play this September.

That's all the unnamed leaker gives us, which isn't a lot to go on. "No Hero 3" means no next-gen sensor, which is fine in my books because the Superstrike's Hero 2 sensor is just fine. Upgrades to the controller and HITS tweaks sound good too, but again, I find HITS on the Superstrike to be just fine as-is, personally.

There's the slim possibility that Logitech is updating the mouse with what we've seen the likes of Keychron and even lesser-known manufacturers working on: hybrid traditional and analogue switches. Except I doubt Logitech will want to have a physical click in there when they worked so hard on the haptics system to replicate the feeling of a real click but have it trigger whenever the analogue click does—very successfully, I might add.

More likely is that there could be a new shell for the Superstrike, fixing things like weighting, as the new internals make it quite front-heavy. There could also be improvements to things like the side buttons and so on.

It would make sense for Logi to release an iteration like this given the company essentially slapped the new internals in a Superstrike 2 (with some weight reductions) to get it to market as quickly as possible.

Assuming the rumour is correct, it might be a shame for anyone that already bought a Superstrike. But then again, I doubt such people didn't know they were getting bleeding edge tech that could be superseded before long, even if that does end up being a little quicker than we expected.

Jacob got his hands on a gaming PC for the first time when he was about 12 years old. He swiftly realised the local PC repair store had ripped him off with his build and vowed never to let another soul build his rig again. With this vow, Jacob the hardware junkie was born. Since then, Jacob's led a double-life as part-hardware geek, part-philosophy nerd, first working as a Hardware Writer for PCGamesN in 2020, then working towards a PhD in Philosophy for a few years while freelancing on the side for sites such as TechRadar, Pocket-lint, and yours truly, PC Gamer. Eventually, he gave up the ruthless mercenary life to join the world's #1 PC Gaming site full-time. It's definitely not an ego thing, he assures us.
