Logitech G9X Laser gaming mouse review: extreme performance

Logitech G9X Laser gaming mouse review: extreme performance

When it’s time for gaming, it’s actually time for winning, common knowledge for everyone! It’s just that sometimes it’s hard to achieve the victory. So what do we do? We search for the perfect gaming gear, starting with the pointing device. What are we searching for? The most accurate and precise, the most comfortable and fast gaming mouse, the best gaming mouse! Let’s take a look at the Logitech G9x laser gaming mouse.

In the case of this mouse, the DPI value goes up to 5000 (quite something) and it’s life expectancy up to three years (if we take a look at the warranty). Another fun thing is the on-board memory, that can remember up to five sets of settings, which you can recall without going through software settings thanks to a profile selector button.

In terms of design they seem to have done a great job. Beginning with the interchangeable grips, the DPI switch (from 200 to 5000), the weight tuning option and getting done with the LED color customizing option, one can personalize almost everything an this piece of hardware. All that combined with the laser technology, one can only imagine the heights of the victory that he could be up to. Besides that, only that robotic look makes you dream at the fun that one could have while gaming with this toy.

In terms of performance, yes this mouse is indeed amazing when playing and not just that, it’s great for web surfing as well. It can easily make you fly through web pages, but does it have any flows? Well, let’s see, the Logitech G9x gaming mouse is the improved and much more expensive version the G9 and that improvement is related only to the sensor, therefore not much. But it is, however pretty solid and reliable.

How does it work? Pretty complicated, unfortunately. It’s USB powered and no software has to be installed, but the on-board memory is not as easy to set. For that you have to download the Logitech Setpoint and set it up, too.

Should you buy it? Yes, if you are a passionate gamer, very keen on the latest technology and web surfing, too.

The price for the Logitech G9x gaming mouse is around 64 US dollars. Is it the best mouse for gaming? Certainly, one of the best, very fast and accurate! Is it worth the cost? Well, I wouldn’t say so, like I said you can get the last version for less (Logitech G9 or the G500) and it does basically the same thing! So great mouse, not so great as price/deal!
