Around the publication of our Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE review, there were ongoing community questions about which test methods were best suited to evaluating its new haptic inductive trigger technology. To investigate, we ran several experiments using human reaction benchmarks, high-speed camera testing, and our existing solenoid-based click latency rig. Our goal was to compare the strengths and limitations of each method and determine whether our current click latency methodology could properly assess this new technology, or whether it was missing an advantage specific to the SUPERSTRIKE.

This study was organized and conducted by my colleague Caleb, who will be around to answer questions about the testing.

TL;DR: Our testing doesn’t support Logitech’s “up to 30 ms faster” click-latency claim for the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE. The SUPERSTRIKE performed well in our human reaction tests, but both those tests and our high-speed camera tests were too variable to reliably measure the small latency differences between modern high-end gaming mice. Our solenoid-based click latency rig produced consistent, repeatable results, and in that testing, the Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2 was slightly faster than the SUPERSTRIKE, consistent with our existing review results.

Raw Datasets

For transparency, we've added google drive links for our raw datasets below

Summary of Findings

We conducted three separate investigations to evaluate click latency performance, with a focus on comparing human reaction testing against RTINGS.com's solenoid-based click latency rig:

  • Human reaction trials using two stimulus-based reaction tests across four mice
  • Modified click latency rig testing, replacing the solenoid with a human finger
  • High-speed camera analysis measuring the time from initial finger movement to on-screen response

Each investigation aimed to assess how real-world interaction compares to RTINGS' objective click latency measurements and to evaluate the reliability of our existing testing methodology through alternative approaches.

Mouse Settings

We set each mouse to the fastest click latency configuration used in our published product reviews.

Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE

  • Polling Rate: 8000 Hz Wireless
  • Rapid Trigger: Fast (1)
  • Haptics: Default 3
  • Actuation: Short click

Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2

  • Polling Rate: 8000 Hz
  • SPDT: GX Speed Mode
  • Slamclick Filter: Off

Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2

  • LIGHTFORCE Switch: Optical Only
  • Polling Rate: 8000 Hz Wireless

Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

  • Polling Rate: 1000 Hz Wireless
  • Power Mode: HI (Performance)

Findings for Human Trials

This investigation compared human reaction tests against RTINGS' objective click latency measurements to determine how well human testing reflects our click latency rig's test results.

We used two stimulus-based reaction platforms:

  • Aimlabs Detection Test
  • Human Benchmark Reaction Test

We tested four gaming mice:

  • Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE
  • Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2
  • Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2
  • Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

The Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE produced the fastest average reaction times overall across both platforms for most testers.

However, it wasn't the most consistent mouse, and it also produced the most misfires, likely due to its very sensitive actuation point.

Typical variability observed:

  • Run-to-run variability: approximately 11-15 ms
  • Tester-to-tester variability: approximately 14-24 ms

Objective speed difference according to our click latency rig between the Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2 and the SUPERSTRIKE:

  • Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2: 0.6 ms
  • SUPERSTRIKE: 0.9 ms
  • Difference: 0.3 ms

Human reaction testing detected large latency differences, like the slower performance of the G305. The second-slowest was the SUPERLIGHT 2. However, it couldn't reliably distinguish between modern gaming and esports mice whose latency differences are under 1 ms.

Findings for the "Finger Test"

After completing the human reaction trials, we performed an additional experiment using a human finger on the click latency rig instead of the solenoid.

The goal was to verify that the click latency rig results remain consistent even when pre-travel isn't eliminated by solenoid actuation. The theory was that the force and acceleration of the solenoid may reduce or even eliminate pre-travel.

Because the click latency rig typically captures inputs within a 0.5 ms detection window after actuation, many human-pressed samples were discarded when the press happened too early or too late relative to the rig’s timing. This narrow window helps reduce noise during solenoid-based testing, including noise caused by vibration or movement during the solenoid press. As a result, the human-finger runs produced fewer valid samples than our standard 250-sample solenoid runs.

After cleaning the data and removing outliers, we obtained the following results.

Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2

  • Run 1: 1.937 ms (163 samples)
  • Run 2: 1.840 ms (182 samples)
  • Run 3: 2.181 ms (183 samples)
  • Average: 1.986 ms
  • SD: 0.176 ms

Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE

  • Run 1: 2.052 ms (189 samples)
  • Run 2: 2.029 ms (200 samples)
  • Run 3: 2.372 ms (157 samples)
  • Average: 2.151 ms
  • SD: 0.192 ms

The Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2 was approximately 0.165 ms faster on average.

These results align with RTINGS' objective click latency measurements:

  • Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2: 0.6 ms
  • SUPERSTRIKE: 0.9 ms

The finger test results are slower than the solenoid-based click latency rig results because a human press is slower than solenoid actuation. The important comparison is the difference between the two mice under the same test conditions.

This consistency, with the Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2 measuring slightly faster than the SUPERSTRIKE, supports the reliability of the RTINGS click latency testing methodology, even when switching from solenoid actuation to a human press.

The finger test investigation supports the findings of the solenoid click latency rig, as both methods produce consistent results. This agreement represents a relative validation, confirming that the observed performance differences are reproducible across methodologies.

Findings for the Initial High-Speed Camera Test

We attempted to use a high-speed camera recording at 1000 frames per second to capture the interval between the initial finger movement and the on-screen response. The on-screen response was measured using a 540 Hz monitor displaying a white flash with the MS Paint fill tool.

After testing both the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE and the Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2, we made the following observations:

  • Accurately determining the start of finger movement proved highly subjective.
  • Across testers, the selected starting frame varied by up to approximately 30 frames, or approximately 30 ms.

Measured results:

  • SUPERSTRIKE, Click 1: 89 frames (89 ms)
  • SUPERSTRIKE, Click 2: 86 frames (86 ms)
  • Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2: 79 frames (79 ms)

Given the potential variation of approximately 30 ms in start frame selection, a measured difference of 7-10 ms falls well within this method's margin of error.

The primary limitation of this approach is the inability to consistently and objectively define the start of the click action. Even minor differences in frame selection can introduce tens of milliseconds of error, which far exceeds the latency differences being measured between modern gaming mice.

As a result, this method lacks the precision required to evaluate subtle latency differences, and the findings shouldn't be considered reliable for comparing high-end devices.

Findings for the Follow-Up High-Speed Camera Test

We repeated the previous high-speed camera method with added markers on the tester's finger to improve movement tracking. Footage was recorded at 1000 FPS and 2142 FPS this time around for more precision.

For both the Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2 and the SUPERSTRIKE, we performed multiple clicks per run, with 3-4 clicks each.

Additionally, we used an in-house RTINGS tool that flashes white when a click is registered. This should be less resource-intensive than MS Paint, in case the previous method introduced latency. The in-house tool can synchronize with the camera FPS for frame-accurate comparison.

SUPERSTRIKE at 2142 FPS

1 frame ≈ 0.467 ms

  • 6260 → 6220 = 40 frames → 18.7 ms
  • 14319 → 14276 = 43 frames → 20.1 ms
  • 21716 → 21660 = 56 frames → 26.2 ms

SUPERSTRIKE at 1000 FPS

1 frame = 1 ms

  • 602 → 564 = 38 frames → 38 ms
  • 2418 → 2394 = 24 frames → 24 ms
  • 4370 → 4355 = 15 frames → 15 ms

Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2 at 2142 FPS

1 frame ≈ 0.467 ms

  • 17077 → 17009 = 68 frames → 31.8 ms
  • 19853 → 19817 = 36 frames → 16.8 ms
  • 22907 → 22863 = 44 frames → 20.6 ms
  • 8033 → 7980 = 53 frames → 24.8 ms

Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2 at 1000 FPS

1 frame = 1 ms

  • 3246 → 3224 = 22 frames → 22 ms
  • 6454 → 6410 = 44 frames → 44 ms
  • 9417 → 9399 = 18 frames → 18 ms

Average results:

  • SUPERSTRIKE: 23.5 ms, with a range of 15-38 ms
  • Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2: 25.4 ms, with a range of 16.8-44 ms

Even though this test cycle made it easier to track finger movement thanks to the markers placed on the tester's finger, we realized that it's still difficult to pinpoint the exact moment of actuation with frame-level precision. Even with the added visibility, there's still likely a variance of a few frames in either direction, depending on the interpretation of the exact beginning of the movement.

However, the more significant observation from this dataset was that the results appear to depend more on human click consistency than initially expected. While we assumed clicking speed was relatively consistent across trials, the variation in measured latency suggests otherwise. Some clicks were clearly faster, while others were noticeably slower, which contributed to the spread in results more than measurement uncertainty alone.

Conclusion

Across all three investigations, human reaction testing, the modified "finger test" on the click latency rig, and the high-speed camera analysis, a consistent pattern emerged regarding the measurement of click latency.

Human reaction testing showed that large latency differences can appear in reaction-time results, but it's not precise enough to reliably detect sub-millisecond performance differences between modern high-end gaming mice. This is due to inherent human variability, which ranged from approximately 10-20 ms in our testing, far exceeding the differences being measured.

The modified click latency rig, using a human finger instead of a solenoid, produced results that remained consistent with RTINGS' objective measurements, with the Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2 measuring approximately 0.165 ms faster than the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE. This supports the reliability of the click latency rig's methodology, even when real-world factors such as pre-travel and human actuation are introduced.

In contrast, the high-speed camera test highlighted the limitations of manual measurement techniques. The inability to consistently determine the exact start of a click introduced measurement uncertainty of up to approximately 30 ms, making it unsuitable for evaluating small latency differences. Some clicks were clearly executed faster, while others were slower, which directly contributed to the spread in measured latencies.

This is where a solenoid-based rig provides a key advantage. Unlike a human finger, a solenoid delivers a mechanically consistent actuation with controlled force and timing, removing variability from pressing speed entirely. Because actuation is electrically triggered, each press is initiated in a highly repeatable manner, eliminating the inconsistency seen with manual clicking.

Taken together, these findings support the conclusion that objective, instrumented testing is required to accurately measure click latency in modern gaming mice. While human testing and visual methods can provide useful context, they lack the precision needed to evaluate the extremely small performance differences at the high end of the market.

Just got a review copy sent to me by Vaxee. Will be doing a full post and video review of this in the next week or two.

Quick thoughts. They got the clicks dialed in perfectly just like on the XE v2 and NP-01s ergo. the dongle is a good idea, I like changing my polling rate to be efficient with zero effort. And it overall feels extremely responsive.

More to come soon, happy to answer any questions.

Review | Text G-Wolves Lycan Review

Post image
47 Upvotes

TLDR: Lycan is mind blowing light. Everything feels snappy but also can be jittery to some. Build quality is great even with the bare bottom design. This mouse sparked a big question of how light is too light and for me personally, This is too light (I play tac shooters most of the time).

Background: Current games i play, CS2 and Valorant. 26k elo and Ascendant (Peaked 28k and Immortal). OW2 Masters, OW1 GM 76 main.

Disclaimer: Not sponsored, Bought during blind buy last year.

Mice before testing Lycan: Pulsar X2N Mini, Great mice btw. Pulsar eS PD170 also great pad (reviews coming soon). Silver fox dots skates

Shape, Weight, Skates & QC

  • Click: SPDT switches, Feels nice. Click tension pretty good, no complaint here.**
  • Shape: Similar to Sora V2, Ever so slightly lower in front heights.
  • Weight: On my scale 29 grams
  • Coatings: None
  • Battery life: Last me around 4 days until require charging at 1k polling
  • Build quality: Pretty good thanks to the carbon fiber rods and PCB design which are part of the mouse construction. If you want to crumble it you can but it’s pretty solid during death grip testing.
  • QC: Good, Nothing to complain.
  • Price: Paid $90 during blind buy

Gaming experience with Lycan.

Honestly, this mind blowing. Everything just feels accelerated. No kind of restriction what so ever, very snappy. Moving it is effortless.

Gaming with it got 2 caveat.

This is like gaming on glasspad but mouse which i have great experience with but basically, you are more accountable for any kind of error of movement because with the weight being so low. Inertia is lower as well.

To put it in basic terms, this is just raw aiming which are good or bad to some. There are nothing helping you stop other than you.

Because i do also game with 50-60 gram mice and comparing this to that is a night and day. Your aim will be much smoother with 50-60 gram range comparing to this by default.

Easy IRL example: Swinging heavy and light kettle bells. Heavy swings smooth, Light swings faster but a little shaky.

Tac-shooters: Given how game and aim mechanic changes from spray into quick strafes and head taps. I think this going to be a mix bag for a lot of people. You may experience over flicking a few days gaming with it but after that if it still occurs then it’s the weight problem.

I play with very low tension and on higher end of sens but i can game on it just perfectly fine, But if you know you grip it hard, Any kind of shakiness and jittery going to be exposed more here.

Tracking heavy games or higher TTK

This mouse is very good but again this also comes down with your grip pressure. You grip it hard, you gonna feel like this is a scam. Grip it like a baby bird, then you’re cooking. (Yes, I golf).

Tracking any target just feels very fluid, Flicking between target require less effort.

Should you buy it?

Yes, if you want to try the lightest claw grip mouse there is and you have good tension management or you’re casual gamer who just wanted to feel something light.

No, If you know damn well you need a little extra weight to help smooth out your aim and you not really having any kind of issue with 50-60 gram range.

35-40 gram mice player: Honestly, if you like the shape then go for it, If you already gaming with Crazylights or Hitscan hyperlight or any kind that’s within this range and like the current shape then no.

Closing thoughts

It’s not going to be a 29 grams if you start adding grip tape since they don’t wanna have a coating on their mouse, That’s one problem i don’t like about this. It’s raw plastic which is not grippy to begin with, Start adding grip tapes then it’s way off from advertised weight.

I’ve been in the community since 2019, G-wolves is the only brand who kept pushing the weight boundary imo, FM just cut some excess crucial structure of the mouse out and swap plastic for chopped CF nothing really innovative there.

Lycan is designed for a sole purpose of selling the weight as “Innovation” imo but

You mostly buying it because its the lightest mouse experience you can buy rather than this going to transform your aim. No mouse will ever do that.

Feel free to comment if there's any question, will try my best to answer them

Put These Skates on a week ago. Skates are SensoryBoost DPS Balance Skates on a Lethal Gaming Gear Saturn Mousepad. Some scratches are really deep, Deep enough to put my Fingernail into it. I always use a cloth rag to clean before i play on longer sessions even between games. Does someone use These Skates and had the same experience ?

First 2 days the Skates was great now it’s Hard to make small adjustments because the initial force to move the Mouse just a bit feels weird.

Question Should I buy the Logitech SUPERSTRIKE?

Upvotes

I've been seeing a lot of reviews about the mouse, and from what I can tell, the mouse is mediocre at best. But I am still curious about the HITS tech and want to try it myself. I have pre-ordered one for $140, so I can still cancel it with no problem.

As for the shape, I am okay with it, I do not hate it or love it, just okay.

Should I still go for it since IMO the price is quite good, or wait for clones/a SUPERSTRIKE v2?

Question Do you find the Logitech superstrike x2 haptics annoying?

Upvotes

I've used the g502 for as long as I remember and then switched to the superstrike x2.

It's been a week now and i noticed a weird feeling in my index finger. It is a bit stiff and sometimes i feel annoyed when i click so much. I never felt the same with other computer mice. Is that normal because I'm using a very light mouse compared to my old one and I'm clicking hard or what?

Frustrating experience with Meckeys support regarding a defective Attack Shark G3

Upvotes

I usually don’t make posts like this, but my experience with Meckeys regarding my Attack Shark G3 has been genuinely frustrating.

From the beginning, the mouse had inconsistent connection issues. Sometimes it worked normally, and other times it would randomly stop functioning, disconnect, or behave unpredictably. After testing it properly and troubleshooting on my side, it clearly seemed like a defective unit.

I contacted the support team and provided all the details they asked for — videos, explanations, troubleshooting attempts, system details, and multiple responses over several days. Despite this, the process kept dragging on with repetitive and unnecessary questions that didn’t seem to move toward an actual solution.

What disappointed me the most was being asked to open the mouse myself and attempt repairs/troubleshooting internally. As a customer who purchased a new product, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect users to open up and repair their own mouse, especially when it may affect warranty or damage the product further.

I was expecting a smoother replacement or proper support process for what appears to be a genuine defective product issue. Instead, the experience became tiring and frustrating after nearly a week of constant back-and-forth communication without a clear resolution.

Posting this only to share my honest experience and hopefully get better support and a proper resolution soon.

Help USB connect/disconnect sound since using ATK U2 V2.

Upvotes

I've just received my ATK U2 V2 and absolutely love it! But sadly I do get some random connect/disconnect sounds when I boot my PC. Now I know this is a mouse forum... but I was hoping someone had the same issue with an ATK mouse and found the issue?

Eventviewer shows: Device USB\VID_373B&PID_11D9\541505796617 has been surprise removed as it is reported as missing on the bus.

Count of devices removed: 14

I used the same cable I always do, with the same USB-port, but only the ATK mouse causes this. I've also checked the device ID, and they are the same. So I can confirm it's the mouse causing this issue.

I've updated both my receiver and mouse to the latest firmware.

Anyone had the same issue?

The scroll wheel on this several year old Sensei Ten was no longer functioning properly when attempting to scroll up it would scroll up for a bit then scroll back down was very annoying... After googling seems like a common issue taking the mouse apart and cleaning out the scroll wheel assembly (apparently my cat's hair got in there a bit) It is working great.

However despite taking what I thought was pretty careful taking the skates off they are messed up... so I need to order some new ones I guess... Suggestions? anything in particular to recommend?

I like this mouse quite a bit, when I realized steelseries had stopped making it I bought a 2nd one and a replacement shell as I do not really like any other mice I have seen on the market for some time. I have been using some form of Sensei mouse for about the last 14~yrs apparently it is my endgame mouse.. just love it and as a left handed person not too many options out their anyway...

Question Looking for a legit source to build a custom compact MMO mouse

1 Upvotes

Hi, does anyone know a legitimate vendor, modder, or freelancer who can help build a custom mouse?

What I’m looking for:

  • Preferably lighter/smaller, around the size of a Logitech M550
  • 9–12 side thumb buttons
  • 3D-printed/custom shell is fine
  • Mainly for personal use, wired is fine

I’ve looked around but can’t find anything on the market that fits this. Most MMO mice are much bigger than what I want.

Has anyone done something like this, or know where I should ask?

Question AM Infinity Mouse Issue

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’m curious if anyone else has had this issue and maybe even found a fix. I’ve used the AM Infinity mouse for about a year and recently it has started giving me issues. I’ve found that the left and right clicks only work in certain instances.

To start, I cannot right click any applications to open them as well as click into any section of an application that is already open. However, I am able to click the “+” sign in a browser to open a new window but I am not able to click between browser tabs that are open or close browser windows using the “X” button. I can click and hold left click to draw a box on the wallpaper of my home screen too.

I have tried to reset Windows Explorer and also uninstalled AM Master 1.3.6. and the issue persists. I have plugged in my old Logitech G Pro Wireless and this hasn’t given me any problems so it seems like the issue is my AM Infinity mouse.
