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.
