I recently purchased a G5 gaming mouse Logitech G5 Laser Mouse (Blue/Black) for my home computer. I liked it so much that I decided to purchase a G9 for my laptop. The G9 has a couple of features that the G5 lacks including : interchangeable grips, the ability to change the display color and four DPI settings vs three. They share: weight addition and distribution, proper button placement preventing inadvertent changes during gameplay, and two different feeling scroll wheels --smooth and clunky (set by a switch on the bottom).
After a couple of weeks of use, I like both mice, but I prefer the G5 simply for the shape under my hand. For me, with my longer fingers, the G5 is a true palm mouse, and your palm rests on top of the tail end of the mouse; the G9 is more of a finger mouse and your palm is off the tail end and not really resting on the mouse. In short, I prefer the G5 for its larger size and profile. This is probably the reason I prefer the "precision cover", shown as the default cover in the product picture, for the G9, this rougher texture cover is wider and provides a more comfortable position for my thumb.
For both, I continue to like the ability to add weight, finding I like a heavy mouse. The accuracy and ability to change DPI is great. Both mice look great on my desk, although the cord (and the cords from other items) tend to add clutter.
Overall, I am very happy with both mice. Feature wise, and using them for regular computer work and game play, I think the G5 provides a very adequate feature set while the G9 provides more customization that you may or may not need.
As indicated, once you are in this price range for a "game mouse", it comes down to shape, size, and weight for me. As the prior user of many corded and wireless mice, I have discovered I like bigger, fatter, heavier mice.
For any mouse buyer, especially those considering paying over $40 for a game mouse, find somewhere to put your hands on one and see if you like it -- you may find, like me, you have a preference on size and shape.
Either the G5 or the G9, both are great choices. Or just buy both! ......
I had the previous model and I love this one so far. I love the new weight position so I don't have to worry about them falling out. I love how precise this thing is. It is amazing. Good product. I've had it for about a month now and I have no bad regrets.......
To preface this short review, I am not a competitive gamer but I do play the occasional FPS. I have had this mouse for about a month now. I come from a Logitech MX1000, which is not a gaming mouse and a palm-grip mouse.
The mouse is very well built and intuitive to use. It moves very smoothly on a generic mousepad and the rubberized grip has a pleasant texture. Sensitivity buttons and profiles work flawlessly. Although the software is good, I did not have to install anything to get most of the major functionality. I did not have any difficulty switching from a palm grip to a claw grip (the mouse is a little small for me, however), and weight adjustments were quick and easy. All in all, this is a fantastic mouse.
The main issue is the scroll wheel.
1. The first problem is the smooth hyper scroll is much too "loose." Mere bumps can send the scroll wheel flying and it is very difficult to steady the wheel in one place without holding part of your scrolling finger against the top of the mouse. The clicky scroll has no issues.
2. The second problem is the scroll wheel click is a little hard to press. This may be intentional to prevent click accidents, but a little more "give" would be ideal.
3. Right side scroll requires too much force and the wheel doesn't feel like it is moving very much. Left side scroll has no issues, however. If the left sided scroll motion was not so easy to perform, there would be no way you could tell side scrolling was a capability of this mouse.......
I use the G9 often for gaming. The available button for mouse sensitivity is a terrific fine-tuning gadget for the different needs different games present. In my view this would be the all-time best gaming mouse except that somehow the designers decided to place the sensitivity toggle switch directly under the finger used for the #1 (primary shooter)mouse button. I've lost count of the game conflicts I've lost because I needed solid maneuvering sensitivity on my mouse and without my realizing it the sensitivity had gone to high mode. A slight movement of the mouse then sends my sights completely off the screen and I'm toast. I hope a G9 rep reads this and they update the device. ......
Being a peripheral fan, I've been subject to a lot of different mice as I try new ones every 6 months or so. Well the G9 was a pleasant surprise and a thankful addition to my permanent mouse collection of two. First things first, this thing is really a quality item. The buttons click with ease and are not noisy. This gives them a really smooth and expensive feel to button clicking, making overall mouse usage a pleasure. The additional grips and weights are a nice touch for those who want the most from their mouse but what I've noticed and liked most is the shape and low profile of the mouse. At first this was a bit awkward since I was used to bigger full sized mice with high arches to support the palm of my hand. However, those mice made my hands sweat all the time and the heat and moisture always left me less than comfortable. With this mouse, my palm does not touch the mouse but rather hovers over it. This was odd at first but after getting used to it I prefer it. Now my hands never sweat and it actually takes less effort to move the mouse. There are also some other outstanding features to the mouse, notably the microgear hyper scrolling feature that I cannot live without now. All in all, highly recommended.......
