Why pros are switching to this mouse
45sOpens with a bold claim about pro players switching, sparking curiosity and debate.
▶ Play ClipLogitech's new gaming mouse features a haptic inductive trigger system (HITS) that replaces traditional mechanical switches with electromagnetic induction switches, allowing customizable actuation points and rapid trigger similar to Wooten keyboards. This innovation promises reduced click latency and improved responsiveness, explaining why many pro players are switching to it.
Many pro players are switching to Logitech's new gaming mouse, though some switches may be sponsored.
The mouse features real innovation, not just lighter weight or higher polling rate, but improved clicks.
Logitech replaced traditional mechanical switches with electromagnetic induction switches that allow configurable actuation points and haptic feedback.
Logitech claims HITS can cut click latency by up to 30 milliseconds, which could be significant in tactical shooters.
The mouse is new and hype may cause placebo effect, but the technology seems genuinely impressive.
Logitech's new mouse with HITS technology offers a significant innovation in click responsiveness, potentially reducing latency by up to 30ms. While hype and sponsorships may influence pro adoption, the underlying technology appears promising for competitive gaming.

2:45[00:00] It feels like every pro player right now
[00:02] is switching over to Logitech's new
[00:05] gaming mouse. And yes, a lot of these
[00:07] switches are probably sponsored. That's
[00:09] expected. But even with that in mind, I
[00:12] still think this mouse is only going to
[00:14] get more and more popular because for
[00:17] the first time in years, it actually
[00:19] feels like real innovation, not just
[00:22] another lighter mouse where the pattern
[00:24] has always been the same. Shave off a
[00:26] few grams so it's lighter weight. bump
[00:28] up the pollen rate so it's faster than
[00:30] before. No, none of that. This time
[00:32] round, Logitech have actually done
[00:34] something different. They've improved on
[00:36] one of the most important parts of a
[00:38] mouse, the clicks. And it genuinely
[00:40] feels like they've taken a page out of
[00:43] Wooten's book. When Wooten improved the
[00:45] keyboards with analog magnetic switches,
[00:48] customizable actuation points, and rapid
[00:50] trigger. All of those features combined
[00:53] made the keyboard physically faster and
[00:55] more responsive than the standard
[00:57] keyboard we were all using, which is why
[00:59] so many players and pros switched over
[01:02] to Wooten or similar keyboards like the
[01:04] Apex Pro that did similar things. And if
[01:06] you take all of those features that made
[01:09] the keyboard much faster, Logitech have
[01:11] basically applied the same ideas to a
[01:14] mouse that they're calling the haptic
[01:17] inductive trigger system or hits. In
[01:20] short, they've basically replaced the
[01:22] traditional mechanical switches, you
[01:24] know, the ones that we all know that
[01:25] have the usual click sound with these
[01:28] new electromagnetic induction switches
[01:31] that because of the technology don't
[01:33] behave like a standard click anymore.
[01:36] The clicks aren't just on or off like we
[01:38] usually expect. The clicks within the
[01:40] mouse can now be configured to detect
[01:43] how far down you're pressing, measured
[01:45] in millimeters, just like the Wooten
[01:47] keyboards are. This means you can now
[01:50] adjust exactly when the click registers.
[01:52] You can customize how fast it resets and
[01:55] so you can feel all this. You can tweak
[01:57] the haptic feedback. The real question
[02:00] is though, how much better is this mouse
[02:02] compared to other ones on the market.
[02:04] Logitech claims that their hit system
[02:07] can cut click latency by up to 30
[02:10] milliseconds, which does sound very good
[02:12] if true. Now, I myself haven't tested
[02:15] this yet, but on paper, a 30-second MS
[02:18] reduction is huge. Like, especially in
[02:21] tactical shooters like Counter-Strike 2
[02:24] or Valerant. For example, if two players
[02:26] swing at the same angle and they're
[02:28] looking at each other, whoever's input
[02:30] registers first will win the duel. And
[02:33] if you factor in that 30 ms difference,
[02:35] that could literally decide a fight,
[02:37] assuming they're on the same ping and
[02:39] all that stuff. But if you think about
[02:40] it, that advantage is pretty significant
[02:43] in that regard. However, we do need to
[02:45] bear in mind that this mouse is brand
[02:47] new and there is a lot of hype around
[02:50] it. And sometimes hype can have a bit of
[02:53] a placebo effect. Like everything new,
[02:55] we always want it to be the best because
[02:57] it's brand new. But even accounting for
[02:59] that, the tech itself does seem
[03:02] genuinely impressive. And that does
[03:04] explain why pros are all switching over
[03:06] to it. Sponsorships aside, the question
[03:08] is though, is the mouse worth buying? Is
[03:11] it worth the hype? I'll let you know
[03:12] once I get my hands on one, as I have
[03:15] pre-ordered it, I'm just waiting on
[03:17] delivery. For those of you that do
[03:18] already have the mouse though, please
[03:20] drop your thoughts on it in the comment
[03:22] section as I'm very curious to see what
[03:24] you think about
