"Outstanding mouse, great options and feel"

by 7dee on May 16, 2008

Pros: Profiles, accuracy, design accomodates my hand very well

Cons: Steep for a mouse...
Summary: very comfortable unit that has enough customization and management options to satisfy anyone. I wish they'd push the grip replacement thing even further.

The ability to switch mouse config presets and sensitivity on the fly is just a great feature which I use all the time when switching between games and even working/gaming.

CNET, I visit your site for nearly any piece of gear I'm interested in, but please, get die-hard users to review die-hard gear. Under more than one circomstance have I noticed that top-in-class gear got the same time put into the review as any other mid-line device.

Second... the grip and weight you choose are, apart from tryout, simply definitive, so why compromise any functionality to somehow 'make it easier to remove the grip or change the weight'?

Anyway...

The ability to customize the width and well... anything is for me, a breath of fresh air from the preious slew of oversized, overly ergonomic (nearly forcing your hand into a position) mice. And yes, I am comparing mainly against G5 here, since the statement that the G9 would not best it is, for me, a false statement.

I do agree on the side button placement thing, kind of. It somehow feels like they are too far to the back, but my fingers are quite long. Still, it took only minor time to adjust to this. The feel of the side buttons is not as crispy no, because of a lot of key travel. this is because the detachable casings include the buttons, so they need the travel to contact the mouse body.

Apart from that, all other controls are where and how they belong imo.

Pick one up yourself, or better, borrow it from someone and use it all day. Then switch back to your G5 or diamondback and notice just why the G9 is sharper in all aspects.

Thanks for reading.
