Did Logitech Quietly Change the Superstrike?
I preordered the Superlight / Superstrike and have used it since day one. It completely replaced my entire mouse collection.
I recently bought a second Superstrike because I always run two copies of the same mouse — one with controlled skates and one with faster skates depending on the game or setup.
Unfortunately, the new copy feels noticeably worse on the left click.
If I disable the haptics and compare both mice side-by-side, the difference becomes very obvious. My original mouse feels solid and clean when bottoming out the click, while the new one has a strange vibrational or springy feedback. It almost feels like the entire shell or internal structure is flexing/rebounding slightly during the click.
With haptics enabled, the issue becomes even more noticeable.
You can actually hear the difference too — the original has a tight, solid click, while the newer one has a hollow/springy resonance. I posted a comparison video showing both sounds side-by-side.
- My original “perfect” copy was made in China SN# Starting with 2604
- The newer problematic copy was made in Vietnam - SN# Starting with 2612
Not sure if there was a manufacturing change, shell revision, internal tolerance difference, or click implementation change between factories, but the difference is immediately noticeable in hand.
The China unit feels incredibly premium and stable.
The Vietnam unit feels like something inside the click mechanism or shell is vibrating/rebounding.
After being spoiled by the first mouse it is entirely apparent to me in game. It feels awful.
