To start out, the G9 specifications are quite spectacular. The G9 comes with Wide Load and Precision grips, the” Wide Grip” offers a more satin finish and wider body, for improving hand and wrist position, while the Precision grip is more of what’s called a “DryGrip” with a more compact shape with more fingertip control. I, personally, prefer the DryGrip. In addition, it includes a weight tuning system, which most mice don’t allow to be customized. You can make it heavier or lighter with a weight cartridge with up to a total of 28 grams of metal weights to customize your G9 for your own personalized feel. I currently, have four 16 gram weights installed into my G9 and love it.
The G9 also features a maximum of 3200 dpi with customizable custom colored LED Display, which informs you on your sensitivity, it can be changed during any time by simply pressing a - and + sign located above the LED display. It has a MicroGear Precision Scroll Wheel with a button located underneath the mouse allowing a perfect frictionless hyper-fast scrolling, or a precise click-to-click selection and a tilt wheel. The bottom of the mouse has an additional button called “profile” which keeps your mouse up to 5 profile customizations, which include keyboard macros, dip settings, LED display colors, which are all stored directly in onboard memory. Its connection is a plug in play, USB. Worked within less the 1 minute after plugging it in.
Overall, the build quality is divine, the buttons responsive, and where some users claim to have experienced 'wiggle' in the snap-on grips, I have experienced none. The custom-colo LED for the DPI display is bling, but it's cute enough to count as cream wafer cookies. The only Con I have is the price of the G9,it retails from 70-100$ which is rather expensive for a mouse.
Here is a little comarison... rather, a list of things the G9 does that many non logitech gaming mice don't do. Few things I didn't mention in my review.
*Sideways scrolling
*Completely remapping keys
*9 buttons
*Cloth covered wire for reduced table friction
*Changeable color LED light
*Adjustable weight system
*Changeable grips
*Hyperfast scroll wheel
*Click-to-Click scroll wheel
*Aftermarket support for grips
*5 built in profiles
I highly recommend this mouse for anyone who wants the best (for now...)
