Rumors claim Logitech already working on G Pro X2 Superstrike 2 with improved magnetic switches

Q: Does the rumor specify what improvements the Superstrike 2’s magnetic switches will have compared to the current X2 Superstrike?

The rumor only says the Superstrike 2 will have "improved tuning on the magnetic switches" and does not specify what exact improvements or changes compared to the current X2 Superstrike those will be. No further technical details or specifics about the switches are provided in the article.

Q: Will the Superstrike 2 address the reported side-squeeze actuation (mis-click) issue on the left and right mouse buttons?

The article reports a leak claiming the Superstrike 2 will feature better tuned magnetic switches and an upgraded controller, but it does not confirm that Logitech will specifically fix the side-squeeze mis-click issue on the left and right buttons. The article explicitly states that only time will tell if Logitech will address all of the existing issues beyond the announced improvements.

Q: Is Logitech expected to change the middle-mouse button design to fix the weakness carried over from the Superlight series?

The article does not say Logitech is expected to change the middle-mouse button design. It reports the Superstrike 2 is rumored to get improved magnetic switch tuning and an upgraded controller, and notes the middle-button weakness carried over from the Superlight series, but states only time will tell if Logitech will address that and other issues.

Q: Are there any indications the Superstrike 2 will alter the front-biased weight balance caused by the heavy magnetic switches?

The article notes a leak saying the Superstrike 2 will feature better tuned magnetic switches and an upgraded controller, but it does not state that Logitech will change the front-biased weight balance caused by the heavy magnetic switches. It only says users complained about that front-biased balance and that "only time will tell" if Logitech will address all those issues beyond switch tuning and a new controller.

Logitech is rumored to be releasing a gen 2 version of the Pro X2 Superstrike by September featuring a new controller and better tuned magnetic switches.

TL;DR: Leaks say Logitech may launch a Gen 2 G Pro X2 Superstrike in September with an upgraded controller and retuned magnetic switches. The current X2 faces reliability complaints-side-squeeze misclicks, a weak middle button, slower UHMWPE feet, and a front-heavy balance-prompting a rapid revision.

It has been less than half a year since Logitech debuted the G Pro X2 Superstrike, and the company is reportedly already preparing a new Gen 2 version of the gaming mouse . Discovered by TechPowerUp, jakeu+ on X published a leak claiming that the Superstrike 2 is coming this September with improved tuning on the magnetic switches and an upgraded controller.

If this leak is real, Logitech's development of a next-generation Superstrike represents one of the fastest turnarounds for a Gen 2 product from Logitech. There is no official word on why Logitech wants to make a new version so quickly, but likely, issues pertaining to the existing version are the reason for the quick turnaround. The outgoing X2 Superstrike is Logitech's most complex mouse to date and has come under fire from reviewers and the community for having reliability issues. For instance, multiple content creators have demonstrated that the Superstrike's left and right mouse buttons can be actuated by squeezing the sides of the mouse, potentially causing mis-clicks in-game.

Worse still, the mouse takes on a major flaw from all of its G Pro X Superlight counterparts and uses the same weak middle-mouse button from the Superlight series that can start malfunctioning after moderate use.

Users have also complained about the gaming mouse's UHMWPE feet being slower than the PTFE feet found on many other mice, including on many of Logitech's other models, and a greater-than-desired front-biased weight balance thanks to the heavy magnetic switches. Only time will tell if Logitech will address all of these issues, beyond just improving the tuning of the Superstrike 2's magnetic switches and upgrading the controller.
