Conclusion
The Logitech G9x is an exceptional piece of kit. Logitech have worked hard to produce a mouse that sets new standards bringing innovative ideas to the table. You only have to list the features involved in this amazing product. 7 customizable buttons, 2 changeable covers, custom profile setting on the fly, up to 5000DPI and more! There isn’t much you can fault with that catalogue of attributes.

There is, unfortunately one downfall though. The cost. The G9 is priced at around £40, whilst the G9x is priced at a whopping £96 yet the only difference between the two G series mice is the jump in maximum DPI setting from 3200DPI to 5000DPI. I can’t understand how Logitech can justify setting the G9x at over double the price of its predecessor when the two mice are almost identical.

Yes, the Logitech G9x is an impressive gaming mouse with a multitude of features that will enhance both your gaming sessions and normal computer use, but whether it is worth spending over the odds when you can simply buy the G9 and it will do exactly the same job just without the higher DPI setting is up to you. If it was left down to me, I would go for the G9.

Pros
+ Plenty of buttons
+ Changeable covers
+ Custom profiles with LED settings for on the fly adjustment
+ Tuning weight system

Cons
- Very expensive

The Logitech G9x comes with an impressive array of features and is a brilliant mouse but due to the disappointing price that the G9x comes in at I award this product the Bronze Award. Discuss this review on our forums.
