The G9 Laser Mouse is the latest addition to Logitech's Gaming mouse series, which arrived in mid-September 2007. There is an impressive array of options packed in the G9. Prefer a weighted-down mouse? Add in some more grams of the included metal. Matrix green your color of choice? Change the LED colors using the Logitech G9 profile settings application (via PC). Want a free-scrolling wheel? Prefer a softer grip? Multiple game profile configurations saved on the mouse's on-board memory? So you know where I am going. A bunch of options packed in a fairly simple looking piece of hardware.
The G9 Mouse has features found in the earlier G5 & G7 Mouse from Logitech, but with several enhancements. New to this version are 2 interchangeable grips. One with a "softer satin feel" and the other with "DryGrip Technology" for those intense FPS matches. The DPI can range from 200 dpi to 3200 dpi (the G5/G7 topped off at 2000 DPI), which is adjustable on the fly by the +/- switches on the top of the mouse. The custom-color LEDs let you set your own color preference, great for color coordinating to your PC gaming rig. Clicking a button on the bottom of the mouse (called the microgear button) will switch from a snappy scrolling mouse wheel to a free rolling wheel. For weight customization, there are 8 weights included: four are 7 gram weights, four are 4 gram weights. All can be stored in the included metal storage case. I'm no pro-gamer, but all the adjustment options definitely make your gaming experience feel tuned to your preference. The G9 Mouse feels snappy and works great with FPS games. I tuned it to such a comfort level that I not only use it for gaming, but also for everyday computer use. So long Apple Mighty Mouse.
The Logitech G9 Laser Mouse goes for a MSRP of $99.99, but is available from sites such as Buy.com or Amazon.com See more images and read tech specs of the G9 Mouse below, showing the weights, LED colors and grips. From Logitech
