Logitech Drops Four New Pro Gaming Gear at Once—Even the Mouse Pad Costs $60
Logitech is updating its mouse, keyboard, headset, and mouse pad all at once. The Pro X3 mouse switches to HITS haptic trigger tech, the Pro X2 keyboard supports Rapid Trigger, and the priciest headset will set you back $250.
No teaser rollout this time—Logitech just laid out all four new Pro series products at once: mouse, keyboard, mouse pad, and headset. Prices range from $60 for the mouse pad up to $250 for the headset, but ironically, it's the "just a piece of fabric" mouse pad that's catching the most attention.
Starting with the mouse: the Pro X3 Superstrike is an update to the previous Pro X2, boasting longer battery life and what the company calls a "lightweight, well-balanced structure." It uses Logitech's own HITS haptic trigger system in place of traditional microswitches, which the company describes as a "significant boost to precision and control performance"—though that's the brand's own claim, and how it actually feels remains to be seen. The Pro X3 Superstrike launches October 6 at $200.
The Pro X Control mouse pad uses a specially designed woven fabric, which the company says provides "balanced, omnidirectional glide and precise control," with a high-friction base to keep the pad from shifting. It launches October 8 at $60—the product with the least technical detail among the four, yet not the cheapest.
On the keyboard side, the Pro X2 Rapid features custom magnetic switches enabling "fine-grained actuation adjustment." It also comes with Logitech's Rapid Trigger technology, which resets a key the instant your finger begins lifting off—theoretically shaving off precious milliseconds between inputs, which matters for competitive players. It also integrates a Key Priority system that lets players register a second input without releasing the previous one, particularly useful for FPS players making quick directional changes. The Pro X2 Rapid keyboard is available now at $230.
The Pro X3 Lightspeed headset comes with what Logitech calls a "studio-grade" 48kHz microphone and offers 70 hours of battery life on a single charge—a 40% increase over the previous generation. Through Logitech's G Hub software, users can also fine-tune sound with a 10-band equalizer. This headset launches October 8 at $250.
The pricing logic behind these four products isn't hard to follow: the mouse is backed by new trigger tech, the keyboard has magnetic switches and a dual-input system, and the headset sells on battery life and mic specs. By comparison, the $60 price tag on the mouse pad is currently justified only by its fabric and base material—whether it's worth it will be up to whoever actually gets their hands on one.
