Not worth it , and here is why (Am an extremely hardcore gamer) [Posted on 2008-08-03]
I was looking around for a new mouse since my so called "G9" i consider it dead and saw the G9 and thought i should drop little review of my experience with it ..
1st it says "DryGrip technology" it`s not that great from my experience with this mouse , my hand sweat and even though am using air-conditioner .. and aswell a SX steelpad . the mousepad is kinda better the regular MPs but the mouse nah , i was really excited about feature in G9 but i didn`t think it would be this inefficient in hardcore gaming .
2nd Interchangeable Grips" the standard 1 is little to big and the small one is too small .. not to mention the small grip have sharp edge at the bottom of the mouse and it would scratch off the surface of the mousepad ,Not sure if it`s only with me having bad luck of other people aswell .
3rd the surface is like my old 2 G5s and 1 G7 (feel am gonna sell it as collection ...) after just phew months of using with extreme care (have previous 3 logitech mouses with same problem so i wanted to be extra cautious with this 1) even though it`s like it sisters the surface is scratched very badly (don`t forget am using the best mousepad in the world SX steelPad 50 Euro ..) also the Interchangeable Grip started to peel off near the side buttons where i use my thumb and also near the palm spot peeled off .
So it`s so not worth it at all . i think i`ll just get G3 or MX 518 or try a Razer mouse (much cheaper and will last longer am sure of that) .
This is my own opinion as a hardcore gamer playing FPS (counterStrike source) and also using the pc for long time every day for work and gaming .
Have a good day\night and stay away from this mouse if you are a hardcore gamer .
Sallam .
Really good, use it without the weights an grips [Posted on 2008-08-19]
Had this for a couple months now and love it. I thought the weights would be a good idea so i tried a bunch of different combinations and it turns out i like it best with no weights, so the mouse is as light as possible. Why would you want more weight to push around and strain your wrist even more? It doesn't make you any more precise.
Also with the two included covers you can put over it to make the grip different, I tried both of those and actually like it best with neither of them on. None of the pictures show it like that because I don't think its intended to be used like that but its great.
The laser is super accurate, on dark or light colored surfaces, and anything I have put it on. The teflon pads on the bottom are huge so it moves really smooth on most surfaces. The sensitivity buttons are in a really good place, and I have never hit them by accident.
The braided fabric cable is plenty long and really durable.
The only downside is the scroll wheel is a little hard to push down for a middle click. This might cause you to accidentally roll the wheel when trying to middle click, which is bad in games because it will make you switch guns just at the wrong time. But if you are a former G7 user like me, then you have learned to compensate for it, and its not a problem.
Best mouse I have ever used period. Try to get it when it goes on sale.
Better Than Your Old Mouse... [Posted on 2008-08-20]
Never in my life have I found such a fast accurate mouse, where so much thought went into the design process. In fact, this is not for all practical purposes a single mouse, but you could at least consider it two different mice. Why? Well, it has two grips, which have two totaly different feels. Combine that with a totally customizable unique weight balance system, and you have quite a few combinations of custom mice right out of the box. You will probably settle on just one or two, but never have the choices been so plentiful.
Everything you get with this mouse is top notch, but you might expect that if you are willing to shell out this much for just a mouse. Sure, it might be the best mouse you've ever used. Sure, the feet glide, and the weight and grip combos are fancy, and the wheel can spin freely or spin in clicked steps, and macros and lights are customizable, but the real question is: is it worth the price?
Well, that is something you have to decide on your own.
Even if you are overpaying a bit, in my opinion, they have packaged it so well, and the performace is so great that it all seems like a good deal when all is said and done.
It's better than your old mouse. Probably better than your friend's mouse. You ought to give it a try.
great for "finger grip" mouse position [Posted on 2008-08-26]
This is my first "gaming" mouse to use, so am used to the generic Dell-type mice everyone gets with their computers or wireless package --- small, 2 buttons, center scroll wheel, no crazy angled shape to the design. So using those I've always used a "claw/finger" grip and lift the mouse with my fingers. This mouse is GREAT for that! The "small" cover/grip is nice and flat on the sides with a small footprint. 99% of the other gaming mice out there have a huge palm-grip design with all these crazy grooves for your thumb, long enough to rest your whole hand on, etc. If that's the kind of mouse you like, then this might not be for you as even the "large" cover/grip is really only slightly larger than the "small" grip. It's a little more contoured, but isn't gigantic where you're gonna rest your hand on it.
Great feature is you can set 5 different sensitivity points on it in 200 intervals from 200-3200. Any 5 you want! Easy to change and play around with.
Only negative I have so far is the weights. Like I said, using the "claw" grip one picks up the mouse from time to time with the thumb and pinky/ring fingers. Well the weights are in the back/rear side of the mouse, so when I pick up the mouse it tilts/pivots back a little which DOES move the cursor initially. Used to the 50/50 weight distribution and possibly mice not SO sensitive! Maybe I need to play with the weights a lil more, play with my grip, or just remove them entirely (which is a shame as it takes that feature of the mouse away). Might have to hand make a little weight at the top where the cord goes in to balance it out if I get that industrious.
Logitech G9 just a great product [Posted on 2008-08-30]
