There are plenty of totally different gaming mice you should utilize, however all of them have one thing in widespread: bodily switches. They’re just like {the electrical} switches in keyboards and controllers. However there’s a more recent possibility as properly, equipped by Logitech—the switches within the Professional X2 Superstrike are magnetic and adjustable. Within the newest PCWorld video on YouTube, Will Smith tells us why that’s vital.
The Professional X2 Superstrike‘s major left and proper buttons use a magnetic sensor beneath every button which may measure the space you press down. There’s no bodily contact between the parts. As a way to simulate a extra standard “click on” expertise, it makes use of haptic suggestions, identical to a cellphone keyboard or a touchpad on extra premium laptops.
Each the actuation level (how briskly the press, um, clicks) and the depth of the suggestions are adjustable. Like adjustable actuation keyboards, you may as well select how lengthy it takes the discharge motion to set off, and even bind separate actions to the discharge.
So, what’s the purpose of all this? Extremely fast clicks!
In case you’re taking part in a shooter and utilizing a semi-automatic weapon, whereby every click on is a separate shot, the “hair set off” changes you may make to the mouse completely make a noticeable distinction in sport. The mouse can be a lot quieter than a standard design because it lacks a bodily contact with the buttons.

As with all premium gaming tools, the higher you might be on the precise sport, the extra you’ll be capable of reap the benefits of the {hardware}’s capabilities. However in contrast to some controversial adjustable actuation keyboard options (like Snap Faucet), the fast firing enabled by the Professional X2 Superstrike isn’t broadly considered “dishonest” (not less than for now).
The Professional X2 Superstrike will get all of Logitech’s finest gaming mouse capabilities, together with wi-fi charging whereas taking part in in case you use the appropriate PowerPlay 2 pad. It’s additionally received a frankly insane 44,000 DPI sensor, grip pads within the field, all that jazz. Sadly, it depends upon Logitech’s G gaming software program to regulate all these variables, and getting it to run on Linux is likely to be a little bit of a headache.
This mouse doesn’t come low cost, although. It’s $180 at retail. For extra takes on gaming {hardware}, you’ll want to subscribe to PCWorld on YouTube and take a look at our weekly podcast The Full Nerd.
