G9x vs G9? Worth the upgrade?
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.
Logitech G9x
When we first reviewed the
original Logitech G9 (November 2007), we didn't like it. Specifically,
we thought it was uncomfortable to hold, using either of the removable
shells. In fact, we described it as "not particularly comfortable for
day-to-day mousing" before complaining that it was unsuitable for people
who use a traditional palming grip.
We were wrong. After we made
a few small adjustments to our grip, we fell in love with the G9--at
least when using the grippy palm-friendly Precision body. We still don't
like the smooth grip--dubbed Wide Load--and we're generally not fans of
having to adjust our grip to suit a mouse, but the smooth response and
power-gamer-friendly features that the G9x delivers make this mouse the
best we've ever tested.
The Logitech G9x upgrades the mouse's
sensor, but the rest of the mouse stays the same.
For the most
part, the G9x and the original G9 are identical. The removable shells
are the same, the internal weighting system accommodates up to 28 grams
of weight, the onboard memory stores up to five profiles, and the scroll
wheel switches between crazy-fast click-free scrolling to a more
traditional click-to-click scroll at the press of a button. The only
difference between the original G9 and the new G9x is its enhanced laser
sensor.
Replacing the original G9's variable-sensitivity,
3,200dpi laser sensor is a 5,000dpi laser sensor, for true twitch
gamers. At the highest sensitivity settings, moving the mouse a fraction
of an inch will blast the cursor across the screen--giving you an edge
in fast-paced shooters or RTS games where you need to cover a lot of
ground quickly. Want to slow it down for a little sniping? Crank the
mouse down as low as 200dpi on the fly, using the sensitivity adjustment
buttons directly below the left mouse button. The mouse updates Windows
up to 1,000 times per second, for accurate cursor movement no matter
how fast you move it.
In its naked, shell-off form, you can see
the G9x's removable weight tray. Whether you prefer a light or heavy
rodent, you can have it your way.
As before, we love the G9x's
profile feature, which lets you switch between pre-configured profiles
on the fly on any PC, whether you have Logitech's software installed or
not (you will need to have Logitech's software installed to configure
the profiles initially, though). The on-mouse LEDs change color based on
the profile you're using, so you won't accidentally find yourself in
your RTS shooter profile when you fire up Left 4 Dead.
As with
the G9, the seams between the G9x's removable shells and the main mouse
body get pretty crusty over a long period of time. But everything else
about this mouse--from the braided cord to its pair of thumb buttons--is
awesome.
+ The best sensor we've ever tested. On-the-fly
sensitivity adjustment. Driver-less profiles.
- The satiny
texture of the Wide Load shell gets sweaty & gross after long
sessions.
Verdict: 10 out of 10
A
fantastic gaming mouse, packed with features
I love the Logitech G9x laser
mouse. I've had mine for about ten days now, and my computing--OK,
let's be honest here--my gaming has become so much more convenient and
easier.
My previous gaming mouse was the Logitech MX-518, which
is in of itself a good gaming mouse. That has eight buttons, all of
which can be programmed using the Logitech driver software to perform
various functions, or to act as a keyboard press. The G9x takes all that
one step further by enabling macro programming of keystrokes and mouse
clicks. So you can assign your most-often used sequence of keystrokes
and mouse clicks to a macro, and assign the macro to one nine
customizable buttons on the mouse, and presto!
The Logitech
SetPoint driver software that runs the mouse is pretty slick, too. It
makes recording macros easy, and the management of different button
assignment profiles seamless. You can store three such settings on the
mouse's onboard memory, presumably so that you can take the mouse to a
different computer and still be able to use those three profiles, as
long as the mouse driver is installed on that other computer. You can
also have as many local profiles (that is, not stored on the mouse but
on the computer's hard drive) as you want.
This profile makes
switching between games and regular Windows use/internet surfing very
convenient. For example, my gaming profile is triggered when the game's
executable is the active window (or running fullscreen). When I alt-tab
out to Windows' desktop, the general profile--the one used for everyday
mouse use--is triggered. When I go back to the game, the gaming profile
takes over. Very easy, intuitive, and handy. The LED lights on the mouse
body, which can be used to indicate the DPI sensitivity, can also be
programmed to show different light for different profiles, so that you
can tell at a glance which profile the mouse is operating under.
The
mouse uses infrared sensor (not visible to the naked eye), rather than
the usual red LED light, to tract motion with greater accuracy. The nine
buttons (three traditional left, right, and scroll wheel click buttons,
two on the left thumb side, two below the three traditional buttons,
and the scroll wheel button can be clicked left and right) are
positioned for comfort and ease of access. I never knew what I was
missing until I started using the left and right scroll wheel button. So
convenient!
The G9x also comes with a set of eight weights to
add heft to the mouse to your heart's content. You can have up to four
weights in the weight tray, and the mouse comes with four 4g pieces and
four 7g pieces. I've got mine configured with four 4g weights and it
feels just fine.
The mouse ships with two shells. The default one
has smooth surface and is a bit wider than the other one, which has a
rough(er) surface and a tad bit narrower. The cord is braided type that
does not catch or snag nowhere nearly as much as the usual plastic
cable.
My only gripe with the mouse is the insensitivity of the
scroll wheel button for down-clicking. Left- and right-click on the
scroll wheel button is just fine, but the down-click takes surprising
amount of force to the point of being slightly uncomfortable. It's quite
possible that this is an isolated case with my particular copy. If this
weren't a Vine review copy, I'd have returned it and requested a
replacement.
All in all, it's a fantastic mouse, well worth the
money if you spend any time gaming. Also great for every day use, but it
really shines when it comes to gaming for its customizability and
smooth usage. Highly recommended!
