Logitech Unveils G Pro X3 Superstrike, Rapid Keyboard and Control Mouse Pad in Fresh Wave of Esports Gear

Logitech has unveiled a fresh wave of esports peripherals, headlined by the Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike, a refined successor to the widely praised X2 Superstrike, alongside a new Hall-effect keyboard and a dedicated control-oriented mouse pad. The lineup was announced today and marks the company’s continued push into the competitive gaming market, where analogue mouse switches and Hall-effect key switches are increasingly defining the next generation of pro-grade gear. While the headline mouse pad is a polished evolution of last year’s model, the keyboard and the control pad are drawing particular attention from the community.

The G Pro X3 Superstrike is essentially a buffed-up version of the X2 Superstrike, which launched in February. It brings analogue switches, a claimed 135-hour battery life, and a refined balance to the table, with a retail price of $200. The flip side, however, is that the X3 Superstrike is a natural iteration rather than a leap forward, which has tempered some of the initial enthusiasm among long-time fans of the original design.

A Control Pad for the Tactical Shooter Crowd

For those who know Logitech’s peripheral philosophy, the inclusion of a dedicated control mouse pad is a clear signal of intent. The new G Pro X Control is a thick, slow-moving surface measuring 460 x 400 mm, priced at $59. The design targets players who favour deliberate, consistent movement over twitchy flicks—a preference that suits tactical shooters like Counter-Strike 2, where controlled tracking is often more valuable than raw speed.

At the time of writing, hands-on time with the pad has been limited to a couple of hours spent on work rather than gaming, so definitive conclusions remain premature. Early impressions suggest the surface is quite decent, though it is not quite as slow as some competing control options on the market. That is viewed less as a drawback and more as a matter of personal preference, with the expectation that break-in will only improve the feel over time.

The Rapid Keyboard Delivers a Creamy Thock

The G Pro X2 Rapid keyboard has generated the strongest reaction from those who have tried it. Priced at $230, it features Hall-effect keys that produce a creamy, slightly muted “thock” with minimal wobble—apart from a faint one from the spacebar. The keycap texture is also notably more tactile than typical alternatives, adding a layer of feedback that many reviewers are already praising.

Alongside the switches, the keyboard sports a large wrist rest, reinforcing Logitech’s focus on comfort during extended sessions. The company has confirmed that a full review will follow once more extensive testing and comparisons against rival boards are complete, ensuring the hype does not outpace the actual experience.

A Headset Upgrade, and What’s Next

Rounding out the announcement is the Logitech G Pro X 3 Lightspeed headset, priced at $250. The two headline differences over its predecessor are a much-improved microphone and a jump to 70 hours of battery life, up from 50 hours. The microphone upgrade was heard firsthand on a preview call with Logitech, and the difference was described as impressive. The 50 mm graphene drivers are also a notable addition, though the headset overall reads as an iterative upgrade rather than a paradigm shift.

For Logitech, the strategy is clear: rather than chasing a single revolutionary product, the company is steadily refining its G Pro ecosystem across every category. The result is a cohesive set of peripherals that feel polished and purpose-built, even if none quite matches the impact of the original X2 Superstrike from February.

With the G Pro X3 Superstrike, G Pro X2 Rapid, and G Pro X Control all now available for hands-on evaluation, the question for the community is whether these incremental refinements are enough to justify the investment, or whether gamers will keep waiting for the next genuine leap forward.
