Logitech G9 Laser Mouse

Thanks to its highly customizable design, the Logitech G9 Laser Mouse ($79.99 direct) has something for hardcore gamers and casual users alike. It can be outfitted with different grips, has adjustable weight, and features on-the-fly adjustable DPI that can even switch automatically depending on the program in use. Above all, it's quick and responsive. While its maximum DPI isn't as high as some competitors, it's a fine choice for anyone looking to step their game up. A grip-release button on the rear of the G9 allows the user to swap between the two included interchangeable grips. One is charmingly titled the "Wide Load Grip" since it provides a fuller shape and wider thumb cradle. As far as texture goes, this grip comes in a soft, satin finish. The second is the "Precision Grip," whose more compact size suggests it was designed for gamers with smaller hands. Unlike its Wide Load counterpart, the Precision Grip is decked out in what Logitech has dubbed a "DryGrip" texture, essentially a rougher, sandpaper-like texture that prevents sweat accumulation during prolonged use. This is not unlike the "No-Sweat" coating found on the sides and thumb rest of the Roccat Savu.
