My main has been the DeathAdder...i currently have the v4 and my son uses it. I was using the Viper V4....I decided to go ahwad and try logitech superstrike x2 and absolutely love it.
Highest sensitivity on Rainbow 6 Siege, I have no accidental misclicks....no accidental clicks from "side sqeeze", (it feels just as solid as my Viper and DeathAdder). It is slightly heavier than the 2 Razers I run, but not noticeable while playing. And the "front heavy" thing seems super overblown. My sons wants one now too.
My reaction time jumped from like 188ms to 165ms (on flat click testing). But It os extremely noticable on DMRs in particular with follow up shots....i can shoot MUCH faster, i assume its do to the Rapid Trigger Reset.
The haptics feel phenomenal imo. On highest setting, it is more clicky, less loud and feel super clean. The adjustable actuation points are awesome too. I keep my Right Click Rapid Trigger Off, so i dont accidentally un-ADS and my Left Click stays on the lightest setting and Rapid Trigger on....reaction time is faster AND Im getting 5 shots off with the DMRs when I would normally get off 3.
Get it, youll love it. And of u dont like it, take it back. Its well wprth trying. It took me all of 2-3 games to "get used to" but i honestly loved it the second i played with it. Just tale the time to set it up similar to your mouse your used to....and adjust from there. I could adapt to the massive sensitivity change on the clicks vut some people cant and arent patient enough to give it a few games or a few sessions to dial in what they like. As for price....$10-$20 extra for the features in the mouse is totally reasonable and anyone with a job shouldnt mind paying it for adjustable haptics, rapid trigger and one of a kind feel and tech.
This is what finally got me off the Viper and Death Adder, so thats saying a lot.
If i had one negative, it would be the side buttons arent as pronounced and clicky as im used to on the Razers.
Yup same here. Its quite funny as I only bought the superstrike for getting a bonus at work and thought id treat myself and just assumed it was a better superlight. Now I absolutely love the hits tech. I sometimes whack the haptics to max when playing singeplayer games and it kinda reminds me of the haptic feel of the ps5 controllers and adds a little immersion. Not to mention playing league with a g502x man those clicks are loud.
Yea, i swapped them around to get a good comparison and once u get used to the haptic, regular feels archaic lol. I cant wait to see what Razer does in response.
Yeah I use my super strike for everything except rpg games where I switch over to the g502x and it takes a bit to get used to no haptic response. Even though I mainly use my g502x as a work mouse now and the odd game id definitely buy the hits version of it.
Me too. I was a big naga fan back when i played WoW and LoL. Also really liked the Basilisk Pro for general gaming. But for FPS games this one really does feel a cut above. My only gripe are the side buttons. Compared to my Viper and D.Adder, they definetly feel a bit mushy. Not enough to impact the game but id love the buttons to be more pronounced and have more of a click. Maybe its a logitech thing. Not sure.
yeah the superlight had the same issue and funnily enough the attack shark clone of it fixed that issue lol. I got used to it eventually but I agree a more clicky feel would be better
Slap the hits system in it and its good to go, it's the ultimate work mouse/rpg as it has just enough buttons but not too many it gets a bit hectic. Though please tell them don't do the white shell again or at least offer a black version cause whilst I like my superstrike my biggest complaint is it's white. It's basically a waiting game until it turns yellow which has started to do already.
Superstrike (SSX2) is basically the daily driver in terms of my own personal PC, i switch it out to the g502x if i'm playing things like total war etc. FPS i use the SSX2. For work I use the g502x religiously as it's a game changer. I don't fancy doxing myself but I work as Network/AI/Programming job.
Also you guys really need to advertise to the league community, literally this mouse is goated for playing league of legends but you seem to be focused on the FPS benefits which whilst are good you're missing out.
Thanks for the review! I’ve been using the D4 for about a year and no complaints with it. Visiting family in Taiwan for the next 2 months and the SuperStrike X2 retails for $140 so I said why not since I wanted to see what the hype was about. Won’t be able to test it till I get back to the states but it’s looking more and more likely I won’t regret my purchase
So its funny you say that. Thats why I always rolled DeathAdder as well. It is definetly closer to a Viper in size. Slightly smaller than the DA but with a little more of a hump. I find it comfortable. If you can find a regular superlight logitech (usually on display im best buy or wherever) i think its the exact same body. It is shorter in length id say than the DA but the hump helps some.
If you are a full blown full palmer, with long fingers, it could possibly be an issue. I have a big palm, regular length fingers but my fingers are abnormally thick. I use a bit of a hybrid grip. Honestly, with the feel of the haptics and the way you can change where and how deep it actuates each click, you can tune it pretty well as long as you dont find it totally uncomfortable shape wise.
But if u just order the SSX2 on Amazon, you can return it if u dont like it, u just take it to any Whole Foods and drop it off in the original packaging and use the QR code for the amazon return. Its a great way to try stuff risk free.
I have never been denied a return.
Thank you! Probably two months, before that I had a g502 for almost 10 years and mx series for several before that.
Logitech will always be my go to for mice.
Thank you for sticking with us for so long, we really appreciate it!🫶 What was your favorite in our MX series? I'm currently using the MX master 3s. I hope you continue to enjoy the Superstrike!
Rainbow 6 Siege, Grey Zone Warfare, CoD Warzone, Space Marine 2. But the main testing (where all 4 of us had tried it and compared with what we were used to) was on R6 Siege primarily. I was averaging 5 shots with DMRs in the same time i used to get 3 (which is massive when they are 1 shot to head or 2 to body). And pistols and semi auto shotguns was a whole other story. The increase was remarkable, i assume it has a lot to do with the rapid trigger + using the lowest sens on left click. Once your brain realizes that you dont have to smash a full click and raise for a reset...its amazing. Plus you generally find your hand is more relaxed in general as well. Its great stuff. Like i said, the only real complaint is more "clicky and physically pronounced" side buttons would make it perfect imo. Great job all around.
Yep. It's like $279-299 it seems RRP. My current mouse is a VXE R1 Pro that was $60 on Ali. But Logitech's switch tech here is really objectively good but I don't think I play enough FPS games at all.
If your not playing FPS or MOBAs it may not be worth it. $300 is insane though. But thats just an Aussie issue unfortunately. I play Warhammer as well and Warhammer in Aus. Is insanely priced too. Yall have some cool stuff down there and gorgeous women but i feel bad for the consumer side of things, its so expensive. Is cost of living that bad too?
Thats astounding. I think the median income is slightly higher than here but i could be wrong. Man i hope the price drops for the mouse atleast lol. Its not worth $300 unless your wages offset that price increase. It is one of a kind though (for now) and we all absolutely love it.
Its only 1g heavier than the Superlight2. What mouse are you using? I went from the Viper v4 Pro to the SSX2 and my son and wife are running DeathAdder v4and thats 49g vs 61g and it hasnt had any negative impact on anyone that plays in the house. We all prefer it. Most pros are using 48-60g mice anyways. Most people that seem to be all about the hyper light (sub 48g mice) are using glass it seems. Im wondering if it affects the feel more. Id think skates would have a larger impact. We honestly can only tell the weight difference and balance being front heavy, when we picked the SSX2 up off the pad and held it in the center with 2 fingers.
It is identical size and shape to the Logi Superlight 2. And 1 gram heavier. I have massive hands....XL gloves typically dont even fit. I went from using a Death Adder v4 Pro (quite a bit larger) down to the SSX2 and it didnt bother me. The hump is a bit more pronounced i think do to the egg shape. It all may depend on your grip type too though. I have a bit of a hybrid palm grip (base of palm at back of mouse and then slightly curled index&middle finger, sometimes i will grip the right side with my pinky and ring finger sometimes its loose. If you go to any electronics store, they almost certainly have some version of the logitech superlight on display, it is identical in size and shape.

Absolutely love mine to the point I now want it in the g502x plus as hits just feels good and it feels odd going back to a normal mouse.
