Logitech has unveiled a new suite of Pro gaming peripherals, including the G Pro X3 Superstrike mouse. However, initial impressions suggest that while the mouse is a solid, if iterative, update to its predecessor, the true excitement lies with the accompanying G Pro X2 Rapid keyboard and G Pro X Control mouse pad.
The G Pro X3 Superstrike, an enhanced version of the recently released X2, features analogue switches, a 135-hour battery life, and a refined balance, retailing for $200. While it offers notable improvements, the rapid release of an updated model shortly after the X2 may sting early adopters.
G Pro X2 Rapid Keyboard
The G Pro X2 Rapid keyboard, priced at $230, has particularly impressed. Despite initial reservations stemming from a less-than-stellar past experience with a Logitech keyboard, the G Pro X2 Rapid proved to be a pleasant surprise. The Hall effect keys provide a satisfyingly creamy and muted typing sound, with minimal wobble. The keycaps also feature a unique, slightly rougher texture. A substantial wrist rest accompanies the keyboard, enhancing comfort during extended use.
G Pro X Control Mouse Pad
The G Pro X Control mouse pad, costing $59, is a thick, 460 x 400 mm surface designed for control-oriented gameplay. Its slower, consistent movement is particularly beneficial for tactical shooters. While initial impressions suggest it might be less 'slow' than some other control pads on the market, it is described as a decent option, with potential for further refinement after a break-in period.
G Pro X 3 Lightspeed Headset
Logitech also announced the G Pro X 3 Lightspeed headset, priced at $250. This iteration offers an additional 20 hours of battery life, bringing the total to 70 hours, and a significantly improved microphone. The auditory quality of the mic was noted as impressive during a preview call, though the headset is generally considered an incremental update.
Overall, the combination of the G Pro X3 Superstrike mouse, the G Pro X2 Rapid keyboard, and the G Pro X Control mouse pad creates a collection of peripherals that, while not revolutionary, offer a highly pleasant user experience.
