The Logitech G9 is a corded laser mouse produced by Logitech targeted at the gamer market.

The G9 has a new body design when compared to the older models, the G5 and the G7. It sports a more sexy look rather than a round oval look. Just like the G5, it has a slot to insert weights. Several small weights are included and can be customized to the person's needs.

[edit] Features

The G9 is similar to the G5 with several updates. It features 2 interchangeable grips to suit the user's preference and just like the older 'G' series mouses, it uses a laser engine, but with a more precise 3200 dpi option. This can be changed on-the-fly from 200 dpi to 3200 dpi in increments of 200. The newer mouse also features micro-gear scrolling which can be switched, by a button on the underbelly, to a smooth scroll option.

Five different profiles can be stored on the G9 mouse, in an inboard microchip. Many other user profiles can be held on a computer. Weights that are shipped with the mouse, four 7 gram weights and four 4 gram weights, can be inserted into any of the four slots in any combination leading to a full weight increase increase of 28 grams. The cord on the mouse is a braided texture leading to smoother sliding across tables, desks, benches, or whatever medium the user is mousing on. The mouse has polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) feet on the bottom which provide much easier and smoother sliding.

The kidney bean shape Logitech has used in the past has been abandoned for a sharper shape that is marketed towards hardcore gamers. The two included grips, a wider grip with a satin like finish and a smaller, more precise grip with a DryGrip finish, can be changed on and off at will.

The color LED's on the mouse can be changed via a menu on the included software. The colors cover the entire range of colors, including various shades of green, pink, red, and blue.^[1]
