Title: Halfprice ($40) Logitech G9x at Logitech, free shipping
Post by: Azuremen on Tue, 02 November 2010, 15:30:05
Figured you guys might be interested.

G9x at Logitech (http://www.logitech.com/en-us/logitech-e-products/devices/7733)

I paid $43 shipped just a couple of weeks ago for a dented box one. Have to say I quite like this mouse, though it is a bit smaller than my Mx518 that it replaced. The scroll wheel is a bit harder to push down as well (for middle click), but I've adjusted to it when I use it in SC2 (which is constantly to scroll)

Plus, you can change the LED's colors, and who doesn't want that? :cool:

EDIT: Deal is done.

nice deal.  I've been using this mouse since the original G9 and really love it.  I do have smaller hands though.

Yeah, I've fairly large hands though (I'm 6'4") and honestly my pinky just sits a bit more on the mouse surface than I am use to, but I'm adjusting for it.

The scroll wheel button click is definitely better on the G9, haven't swapped my G9x in yet because of that.

Package came today. Man, I'm already loving this thing. So much more comfortable than my MX518!

Curious about what grip you are using at the moment. I started out using the larger one, but have switched to the textured one after a while. Just feels better for FPS games I think. Also have 22g of weight in it.

I'm currently using it stock (fat rubber grip with no weight). I might start experimenting with the smaller grip but I like the weight where it is. Not too light but light enough that I can move it around without too much effort.
