The Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike is a rare gaming mouse that supports both analog triggers and rapid-fire switches, but its reliance on G Hub for profile management has frustrated some users. The good news? You don’t need the software running to access or toggle between onboard settings—though it does require a trade-off.

After testing the feature, it’s clear that Logitech’s onboard profiles can persist independently of G Hub, even across operating systems. The catch? Enabling profile switching consumes one of the mouse’s five programmable buttons. For users who prioritize battery efficiency or quick adjustments, this workaround could be a game-changer.

  • Onboard profiles save to the mouse and persist after G Hub closes.
  • Profiles remain active during OS switches (tested on Linux).
  • Up to five distinct profiles can be stored and cycled via a dedicated button.
  • Each profile’s DPI, polling rate, and haptic settings can be adjusted without the app.

What’s claimed (but requires setup)

  • Profile switching is possible without G Hub, but it sacrifices one mouse button.
  • LED indicators flash colors to show the active profile.
  • Advanced users can combine G-Shift with profile cycling for extra button layers.
  • Long-term reliability of onboard profiles after repeated reboots or firmware updates.
  • Whether Logitech will refine this feature in future updates to reduce button conflicts.

1. Create profiles in G Hub: Go to the Profile* dropdown, then Manage Profile. Configure up to five distinct settings for DPI, polling rate, and haptic feedback.

2. Assign a button for cycling: In the Assignments tab, replace one button’s function with Onboard Profile Cycle (found under System).

3. Save profiles to the mouse: Enable Onboard Mode in G Hub’s Settings* cog, then import each profile into slots 1–5.

4. Test and adjust: Toggle between profiles using the assigned button. The mouse’s LED will flash to confirm the active profile.

Workarounds for power users

  • Use G-Shift + left-click for profile cycling (risky—left-click may get locked in G Hub’s settings).
  • Reassign a less critical button (e.g., M5) if you rely on in-game functions.

While the process is straightforward, the button trade-off may not suit everyone. Competitive gamers might prefer keeping G Hub running for quick adjustments, but those who value autonomy will appreciate the flexibility. For now, the feature works as advertised—just don’t expect Logitech to add more buttons anytime soon.
