14 DAY TRIAL // Logitech, one of the world's most important manufacturers of PC peripherals, has been on a roll lately, as it has announced several extremely innovative products, as for example the MX Air Mouse or the Wave Keyboard. However, (almost) nothing could have prepared us for their latest product, namely the G9 Gaming Mouse, a device that can be almost completely customized by gamers in order to suit their every need.
Thus, unlike anything you've seen thus far, the Logitech G9 mouse features two interchangeable grips: Wide-Load grip and Precision grip. The Wide-Load grip provides a fuller shape and soft-touch, satin feel, while the Precision grip's DryGrip technology and compact shape offer fingertip control and a surer handle for any hand. However, these two are just the bundled versions, as Logitech intends to launch several other grips over time.
Moreover, the G9 mouse allows for customized weight tuning and weight distribution via a weight-tuning system that enables gamers to choose from among hundreds of weight settings by inserting up to four additional weights in the mouse's weight tray, adding up to a maximum of 28 grams (in total, gamers can choose from eight additional weights) .
The peripheral also provides superior resolutions, as the G9 can attain a maximum of 3200 dpi. However, as in the case of any modern mouse, the resolution is fully adjustable, going as low as 200 dpi, when the situation requires it. Moreover, the device is accompanied by Logitech's SetPoint software Version 5.0, which allows gamers to create a number of profiles for their mouse, and since the mouse features its own built-in memory, these settings can be automatically transferred to any computer the mouse is connected to.
"Like professional athletes, PC gamers need equipment tailored to their body and their individual playing style," said Rory Dooley, Logitech senior vice president and general manager of the Control Devices business unit. "Gamers tell us over and over that they love to tweak their gear to achieve optimum performance. Nearly every dimension of the G9 Laser Mouse is customizable, allowing gamers to set up their mice exactly the way they want."
The device will hit the shelves around September for a MSRP of 99 US dollars, which is quite a fair price to pay for such an advanced gaming device.
