Logitech wins two Australian design awards for mice

Logitech has won two honours at the 2026 Australian Good Design Awards for its G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Gaming Mouse and MX Master 4 Wireless Mouse. Both were recognised in the Product Design Consumer Electronics category, with the gaming mouse receiving a Gold Award.

The awards, part of Australia's longest-running international design programme, were presented under the theme Design that Leads. More than 1,000 guests from design, architecture, engineering, business, government and the creative industries attended the ceremony in Sydney.

The G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE was singled out for its use of what Logitech describes as a patent-pending Haptic Inductive Trigger System. According to Logitech, the mouse replaces traditional mechanical switches with inductive analogue sensing and real-time haptic feedback.

Judges said the design, aimed at competitive gaming, offered faster click response and greater durability, while giving professional esports players more options to adjust haptic settings. They also highlighted the integration of engineering and industrial design.

"The Jury recognises the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Gaming Mouse for its innovative approach to competitive gaming performance through the patent-pending Haptic Inductive Trigger System," a jury spokesperson said.

"By replacing traditional mechanical switches with inductive analogue sensing and real-time haptic feedback, the design delivers measurably faster click response times and enhanced durability.

"The Jury commends the design and engineering team for their genuine exploration of tunable haptic technology, which introduces meaningful customisation options for professional esports athletes. This seamless integration of advanced engineering within a refined industrial design demonstrates strong technical credibility and market impact, establishing a new benchmark in gaming peripherals. Logitech continues to set the standard for design excellence in this product category - well done."

The second award went to the MX Master 4 Wireless Mouse, which was named a winner in the same category. Judges focused on its haptic feedback, ergonomics and repair-focused design choices.

According to the judging comments, the MX Master 4 builds on an established product line by adding a more intuitive tactile experience for professional users. The jury also cited design-for-disassembly principles, low-carbon aluminium and recycled plastics.

Design focus

The judges framed both products as examples of how hardware makers are trying to differentiate computer peripherals through material choices, repairability and more tailored user interaction. For the MX Master 4, they also highlighted software-linked workflow features alongside the physical design.

"The Jury commends the Logitech MX Master 4 for its thoughtful evolution of an already well-resolved product through the integration of haptic feedback, creating a more intuitive and engaging user experience for demanding professionals. The Jury recognises the commitment to repairability and circularity, with design-for-disassembly principles genuinely integrated alongside premium materials including low-carbon aluminium and recycled plastics.

"The refined ergonomic form, customisable haptics and software-enabled workflow enhancements demonstrate strong systems-level thinking and maturity in balancing tactile interaction with professional productivity needs. The Jury congratulates the Logitech design team on establishing a strong benchmark within this premium peripheral category," the spokesperson said.

For Logitech, the awards span two distinct segments of the peripherals market: gaming hardware and office productivity devices. The recognition also highlights the commercial importance of industrial design in categories where manufacturers compete on user comfort, longevity and specialised features rather than basic functionality alone.

Damian Lepore, Managing Director, Logitech ANZ, said the awards recognised both design and ergonomics across the company's product range.

"We're incredibly proud that both the PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE and MX Master 4 have been recognised at this year's Australian Good Design Awards," Damian Lepore, Managing Director, Logitech ANZ, said.

"It's been especially welcome to see the former honoured as a Gold Winner due to its innovative Haptic Inductive Trigger System.

"These awards matter because they acknowledge how our global team has come together to create products that prioritise good design and ergonomics. Logitech peripherals are a key part of Australians' lives, whether at home or work, and our commitment to good design principles ensures ease of use whenever or wherever they are needed."
