The new X3 model builds on the haptic‑actuated design first introduced with the G Pro X2 Superstrike in February, retaining the tactile click system that replaces traditional mechanical switches.
Key hardware upgrades include a Hero 2 sensor capable of 48,000 DPI (up from 44,000 DPI), 90 G acceleration (versus 88 G), and a maximum tracking speed of 930 IPS, compared with the X2’s 888 IPS.
Wireless performance has been boosted to an 8,000 Hz polling rate, a capability the X2 could only reach when tethered via USB‑C, while the X3 maintains this rate wirelessly out of the box.
Battery life is projected at up to 135 hours on a single charge, a notable jump from the X2’s claimed 90‑hour runtime, despite the X3 weighing two grams less in its U.S. version (61 g in the EMEA version).
Logitech will offer the X3 in two colour schemes—bold pink and black—while keeping the X2 on sale for $179.99, after a recent temporary dip to $129.99, suggesting possible promotional pricing ahead of the holiday season.
For casual gamers, the improvements are incremental, but professional players may benefit from the reduced latency and customizable click feel that the haptic actuators provide.
