Logitech G9 gaming mouse

[Dr Houbenheimer]

Okay, so I've been looking to upgrade my peripherals for quite some time now, my current ones are the stock standard COMPAQ mouse and keyboard that came with my pre-built Presario, and the G9 has been in my sights for ages.

I found it on amazon for $50 ( considerably less than the rrp) and am about to buy it, just wondering on some opinions before I goo ahead with the transaction. So, what do you guys think of the mouse?

And also, does anyone know if amazon prices are worldwide?

Go for it, but don't install the software that came with the disk, get the latest version straight off the website. Otherwise after a few days it will completely disable the laser rendering it useless.

Wow, lucky I knew that! Looks like I won't be getting it right now though cos I want to get it off the internet ( $45 woot!) but my parents don't have a credit card, so I'm waiting to get in contact with my brother.

Yeah, I had that aforementioned problem with my first G9 mouse. The 2nd one has been great so far though, no technical abnormalities to report. Just kick@$$ all-around really.

[Dr Houbenheimer]

Yeah, bit of a problem over here though with the stock, cos' the G9x came out it's being discontinued, so it'll be hard to get a hold of. Be great for my gaming and Photoshop when I do though...

[Koenigsegg_Rox]

Well the G9x is essentially exactly the same just with 5000dpi instead of 3200dpi...which is pretty extreme but you can customise it

I got mine like a week ago! and I am reaaaaalllyyy happy, it was really expensive actually but, I dont know how, I used same wmo for 4years, before it, I had diamondback, and they both still work. So I am sure that this one also will not die
