Logitech has expanded its Pro gaming line with four new accessories: the Pro X3 Superstrike mouse, Pro X2 Rapid Gaming Keyboard, Pro X Control Mousepad, and Pro X3 Lightspeed Gaming Headset. The flagship mouse, available October 6 for $200 (or $199.99, according to The Verge), uses haptic actuators instead of mechanical switches and improves on the X2's battery life and sensor responsiveness. Both sources agree on these core specs, including the 135-hour battery claim and the higher 8,000Hz wireless polling rate.
The sources diverge on how meaningful the upgrade is. Engadget describes a "significant leap in precision and elite control" and highlights Logitech's HITS haptic trigger system. The Verge, by contrast, calls the X3 more of a 1.5 update, with gains that may be inconsequential for casual gamers, and notes that Logitech is keeping the X2 available at $179.99.
The rest of the lineup includes the Pro X2 Rapid Gaming Keyboard ($230, available now) with magnetic switches and Rapid Trigger technology, the Pro X Control Mousepad ($60, October 8), and the Pro X3 Lightspeed Headset ($250, October 8) with a 70-hour battery, a 40 percent increase over the previous model. The Verge's report focuses only on the mouse, so details on the other products come solely from Engadget.
