Logitech G9: A Mouse For Gamers
As the Games Convention 2007 is closing in, Logitech is ready to bring its latest goodies to PC gamers. And what cane be more handy for a hardcore PC gamer than a new mouse? Logitech knows that gaming is a serious matter and players need equipment tailored to their body and their individual style.

Logitech’s latest gaming mouse G9 is designed with this concept in mind.

With the corded G9 mouse, gamers can enjoy interchangeable grips, on-the-fly dpi switching ranging from 200 dpi to 3200 dpi, full-speed USB laser tracking, an onboard-memory profiling system, weight tuning, a custom-color LED and the hyper-fast MicroGear Precision Scroll Wheel.

In the standard package, G9 is delivered with two interchangeable grips: Wide-Load grip (which provides fuller shape and soft-touch, satin feel) and Precision grip (which offers fingertip control and a surer handle for any hand). Also Logitech said it will offer other grips at a later date.

Thanks to an innovative weight-tuning, G9 can be customized to perfectly fit each gamer’s preferences. Players can choose from among hundreds of weight settings by inserting up to four additional weights in the mouse's weight tray, adding up to a maximum of 28 grams. In total, gamers can choose from eight additional weights. The spring-loaded weight cartridge fits snugly in the bottom of the G9 mouse and can be easily opened, retuned and secured in moments.

Unlike other gaming mice that offer a range of 400 dpi to 2000 dpi, the G9 mouse can be shifted on the fly to up to 3200 dpi for faster, more precise cursor movements, or down to as low as 200 dpi for games that require pixel-precise control. A full-speed USB connection delivers up to 1,000 reports per second for smooth tracking without cursor lag.

But sometimes a mouse is not enough to win the game and it must be paired with the best keyboard. As you can imagine, Logitech has a recommendation: G9 it fits perfectly with the upgraded Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard. The G15 keyboard's integrated LCD panel offers built-in support for popular games, including World of Warcraft, Battlefield 2142 and Quake Wars.

The G15 keyboard also offers six on-the-fly programmable macro keys with three modes, for a total of 18 programmable keys per game or application.

With two built-in, full-speed USB ports on the keyboard, gamers can simply plug in their mouse and headset for the ultimate gaming experience.

Logitech G9 Laser Mouse will be available in September and it has a recommended price of $99.99, identical with the price tag of Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard.
