Rumors claim Logitech already working on G Pro X2 Superstrike 2 with improved magnetic switches

It has been less than half a year since Logitech debuted the G Pro X2 Superstrike, and the company is reportedly already preparing a new Gen 2 version of the gaming mouse . Discovered by TechPowerUp, jakeu+ on X published a leak claiming that the Superstrike 2 is coming this September with improved tuning on the magnetic switches and an upgraded controller.

If this leak is real, Logitech's development of a next-generation Superstrike represents one of the fastest turnarounds for a Gen 2 product from Logitech. There is no official word on why Logitech wants to make a new version so quickly, but likely, issues pertaining to the existing version are the reason for the quick turnaround. The outgoing X2 Superstrike is Logitech's most complex mouse to date and has come under fire from reviewers and the community for having reliability issues. For instance, multiple content creators have demonstrated that the Superstrike's left and right mouse buttons can be actuated by squeezing the sides of the mouse, potentially causing mis-clicks in-game.

Worse still, the mouse takes on a major flaw from all of its G Pro X Superlight counterparts and uses the same weak middle-mouse button from the Superlight series that can start malfunctioning after moderate use.

Users have also complained about the gaming mouse's UHMWPE feet being slower than the PTFE feet found on many other mice, including on many of Logitech's other models, and a greater-than-desired front-biased weight balance thanks to the heavy magnetic switches. Only time will tell if Logitech will address all of these issues, beyond just improving the tuning of the Superstrike 2's magnetic switches and upgrading the controller.
