Logitech G9X Programmable Laser Gaming Mouse with Precision Grips Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
