Where do I start? To put it simply, the Logitech G9 is the best mouse I have ever invested in.

The design of the mouse is exotic, it boasts quite a square feel compared to some of it's other gaming competitors like the Razer Lachesis, but it fits perfectly in your hand. This is helped along with 2 grips that come with the mouse; the Wide Load + Precision grip. The names are pretty much explanatory, the satin texture and fuller shape of Wide Load add extra comfort while the DryGrip technology and compact shape of the Precision grip give you unmatched fingertip control. If neither of these take your fancy, you have a third option which reaches the boundary of mouse customization, the ID Grip allows you to put the image you want on the palm of your G9 mouse!

This mouse becomes maxed out at 3200 dpi which is more than enough speed for those first person shooter situations, combine this with full-speed usb (1000 reports per second) and you will never miss those headshots again. If you are the xcore-type and wish to switch binds/dpi settings mid-game, then this is the mouse for you. The G9 has on-board memory which allows you to house custom profiles which stores DPI, bind and macro settings and you can even change the colour of the LED display on the top of the mouse to whatever you want.

The G9 is all about customizability. There is a weight slot to the rear of the mouse which is a small plastic case that holds small 4g and 7g weights, (Maximum weight = 4x 7g= 28g).

This mouse means you will have the ultimate control. Polytetrafluoroethylene feet means that the mouse will glide effortlessly across almost any surface, it would be impossible for me to say that I experience any friction when using mine, even after long periods of time.

The new patented technology- MicroGear™ Precision Scroll Wheel is really handy both on and off the battlefield. There is a small button on the underside of the mouse which toggles between your mouse-wheel being click-to-click like your normal mouse or free-scroll which means that the scroll wheel can freely spin with one stroke. Think about having pages and pages of web pages or word documents, with that option, you can spin the scroll wheel and it will continue spinning and consequently streaming through the document. This is very nifty in game, binding fire to the your mouse wheel gives you an amazing advantage which is as good as some hacks except it is totally legal, free-wheel scrolling can turn your semi-auto pistol into a fully-auto mean-machine.

The side buttons add extra convenience, acting as a forward and back button for when browsing web pages and can obviously be binded in game just like the other 8. This can easily be done with the media that comes with this mouse, the set points drivers come with the macro editor and bind settings for the mouse and is ok to use for the intermediate-experience users. I believe that the macro editor would be difficult to use for the novice but tutorials can be found on the internet.

Pricewise, I think the G9 is good, nothing more, nothing less. I bought mine from a friend for £18 (bargain) however, I will act realistically and base my decision on the RRP of approximately £40. For what you are getting this is a good price, however- other mice such as the Typhoon Sureshot Gaming mouse can house quite the punch and for half the price. But who has heard of one of them? The build quality and branding of Logitech can't really be compared in the peripheral market.

In all- I recommend the Logitech G9 to anyone searching for a new mouse, especially gamers but for casual users too. The customizability options are endless and life is made easier with macros, binds and profiles which can be taken anywhere with the on-board memory.
