Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
As a matter of review disclosure, I received the G9x as part of Amazon Vine.
I own a G9 and wrote a prior review for it, indicating it was a fine game mouse which includes a corded laser driven sensor system, on board customizable memory, a cool weight addition system which is not a gimmick--I definitely have a preference for a heavy mouse, customizable LED colors, and a nice scroll wheel. The two changeable grips are great -- you will probably have a preference for one or the other depending on how you use your mouse. The G9 is a nicely constructed, accurate, pleasure to use, feature heavy game mouse, and fully capable of use in any application including games. But, this is not a review on the G9, but rather the G9x... or is it?
The G9x is exactly the same mouse, with exactly the same construction and feature set, except for one thing.... let me quote the Logitech feature blurbs: First, for the G9x, "the G9x extends the promise of the award-winning Logitech G9 Laser Mouse with its next-generation laser sensor... On-the-fly adjustable dpi to go from pixel-precise targeting (200 dpi) to lightning-fast maneuvers (up to 5000 dpi)." And for the G9, "Get uncompromised speed and accuracy from a high-performance Gaming-Grade Laser Engine (adjustable 200 dpi - 3200 dpi)" This apparently is the only difference. An increase from 3200 dpi max for the G9 up to 5000 dpi for the G9x.
My own max speed for playing games without too much twitching is 2500 dpi, and most often I prefer lower speeds. I would never realize the full speed of the G9x, just as I have not realized the full speed of the G9. I do not notice any functional differences playing Crysis, Call of Duty 4, F.E.A.R. series, Fallout 3, or any other fast paced games.
I love both of these mice, but I have to ask the question, at about $60 for the G9, and $100 for the G9x, is the G9x worth another $40 over the G9? I guess if you do the math, 5000 dpi over 3200 dpi is a 56% increase in speed. The $40 premium for the G9x is 66% over the prior price for the G9.
You can make your own decision, but I think the price point for this new mouse is higher than it should be. The G9 and G9x are great mice. Buy whichever one is cheaper, they are exactly the same, and provide exactly the same general features, except for max dpi.

When we first reviewed the original Logitech G9 (November 2007), we didn't like it. Specifically, we thought it was uncomfortable to hold, using either of the removable shells. In fact, we described it as "not particularly comfortable for day-to-day mousing" before complaining that it was unsuitable for people who use a traditional palming grip.
We were wrong. After we made a few small adjustments to our grip, we fell in love with the G9--at least when using the grippy palm-friendly Precision body. We still don't like the smooth grip--dubbed Wide Load--and we're generally not fans of having to adjust our grip to suit a mouse, but the smooth response and power-gamer-friendly features that the G9x delivers make this mouse the best we've ever tested.
The Logitech G9x upgrades the mouse's sensor, but the rest of the mouse stays the same.
For the most part, the G9x and the original G9 are identical. The removable shells are the same, the internal weighting system accommodates up to 28 grams of weight, the onboard memory stores up to five profiles, and the scroll wheel switches between crazy-fast click-free scrolling to a more traditional click-to-click scroll at the press of a button. The only difference between the original G9 and the new G9x is its enhanced laser sensor.
Replacing the original G9's variable-sensitivity, 3,200dpi laser sensor is a 5,000dpi laser sensor, for true twitch gamers. At the highest sensitivity settings, moving the mouse a fraction of an inch will blast the cursor across the screen--giving you an edge in fast-paced shooters or RTS games where you need to cover a lot of ground quickly. Want to slow it down for a little sniping? Crank the mouse down as low as 200dpi on the fly, using the sensitivity adjustment buttons directly below the left mouse button. The mouse updates Windows up to 1,000 times per second, for accurate cursor movement no matter how fast you move it.
In its naked, shell-off form, you can see the G9x's removable weight tray. Whether you prefer a light or heavy rodent, you can have it your way.
As before, we love the G9x's profile feature, which lets you switch between pre-configured profiles on the fly on any PC, whether you have Logitech's software installed or not (you will need to have Logitech's software installed to configure the profiles initially, though). The on-mouse LEDs change color based on the profile you're using, so you won't accidentally find yourself in your RTS shooter profile when you fire up Left 4 Dead.
As with the G9, the seams between the G9x's removable shells and the main mouse body get pretty crusty over a long period of time. But everything else about this mouse--from the braided cord to its pair of thumb buttons--is awesome.
+ The best sensor we've ever tested. On-the-fly sensitivity adjustment. Driver-less profiles.
- The satiny texture of the Wide Load shell gets sweaty & gross after long sessions.
Verdict: 10 out of 10

Amazon Verified Purchase
I must admit something: I am a mouse and keyboard addict. I am an avid PC gamer and have owned nearly every gaming grade mouse and keyboard on the market for the past ten years. I also obsessively follow the market for new and improved units. A good, innovative and cool input device just excites me. I can't believe I just said that - but it's true. All of my obsessing, searching and trying out various gaming grade mouse offerings has lead to one conclusion - the Logitech G9X Laser Mouse is the best overall gaming grade mouse on the market - period.
I owned the original G9 mouse and loved it. So when a "new and improved" version hit the market, I couldn't resist picking it up. To be specific, I purchased my first G9X about two years ago when I upgraded my gaming rig. At that time - as usual - I went through all of the offerings from Razer, Saitek, Cyborg, Steel Series and the various Logitech models. That G9X has served me well but started to show some serious wear and tear. Also - like I said - I am addicted to buying new input devices whether I really need them or not. So once again plunged into the gaming grade mouse market.
This most recent foray took me to three different units. First I tried the Logitech Wireless G700 Gaming Mouse. I should have known from the start that this wouldn't be for me. I am one of those old school gamers that still pretends to feel lag from wireless units. Also, the G700 seemed to "float" on me when I needed it to be absolutely still. Then I tried the Cyborg R.A.T. 7 gaming mouse. Like others, I was thrilled with the level of customization that this mouse offered. But - in the end - all of those options had unfulfilled promise and tragic flaws. Also, the mouse wheel - which is a critical part for me - felt cheap and slow. I intend to write full reviews of these units later. But for now, suffice it to say that they are all solid units but all were also ultimately returned to Amazon.
To make a long story short, all of this brought me full circle and I purchased another G9X. Here is what I like most about this mouse that makes it simply the best gaming grade unit on the market. First, it is a comfortable mouse. I don't know much about ergonomics, but my hand does not get tired gripping the mouse and always feels in a natural position when using it. The two grips will cover any hand size and the textures are both pleasant to the touch. Second, when the mouse has no weights in it, it is very light. I have a tendency to lift my mouse when gaming, so a unit that is too heavy tires me out. The G9X is the perfect weight. Third, this mouse tracks flawlessly. With all of the other units I have tried they either jumped, floated or decelerated too much. The G9X is consistently tracks with total precision - rock solid when it is still and just as fast as you want it to be when in motion. Finally, the scroll wheel is a gift from heaven. This is the one feature that I simply cannot live without. It is so fast and so smooth that it changes the way you I approach and use the computer. Logitech must have patents on the technology because no other mouse has a smooth scrolling wheel like the Logitech. With the other units I tried, I found myself pining away for that smooth, fast wheel. And with a push of a button, it converts into a traditional scroll wheel for those who want it.
As with anything, the G9X does have a few flaws. The feet tend to wear out and lose their smoothness. After getting my new unit, I really noticed how much smoother it sped across my Zowie mouse pad (also highly recommended by the way). I wish that you could buy just the feet and replace them. It could use a few more buttons. There are no buttons on the right side of the mouse and only the traditional two on the left side. Modern games simply require at least eight buttons. Also, I don't like that the profile and microgear buttons on the bottom of the mouse. I wish they were on the top as with the Cyborg R.A.T. Finally, there is no real "Wow" factor with this mouse. It is pretty bare-bones in comparison with the competition.
In the end, I ran through the reviews, narrowed down my list and tried the three best offerings I could find. This all brought me back where I began - to the Logitech G9X. So, if you are odd like me and get really excited over a good input device, this should make your heart race. I highly recommend it.
For those who don't want the long-winded version, here is a list of pros and cons for this unit.
Pros:
- The best scroll wheel ever made. It has no equal.
- Great size and texture.
- Perfect tracking.
- DPI changing on-the-fly.
- Light weight.
- Long, high quality braided cord.
Cons:
- Feet wear out and get gritty. Can't replace just the feet.
- Not enough buttons.
- Profile and microgear buttons are on the bottom.
- No real "Wow" factor.
PS: This unit has been out for over two years now. I expect Logitech to release a new version or an entirely new wired mouse soon. Isn't that exciting! :)
