    I recently upgraded my failing MX510 mouse. After reading so many positive reviews I decided to try the G9. The features and setup program are all fantastic. The mouse is great and very responsive. I loved the mouse untill I actually had to use it for more than a couple minutes and got even worse when I tried to game with it. This mouse is just to unergonomic. My wrist would get fatigued fast and start hurting after a short time. I tried for several days but it never got better and I never got used to it. I returned the G9 and got the G5 which uses the classic tried and true Logitech mouse shape and am not disappointed. It is a great mouse and I have no more pain in my wrist.

    You will love it trust me5
    I orignally got the mx518 for christmas. I saw this and thought that looks like a big dumb box and very uncomfortable. well turns out one of my friends had got one for christmas and i tried his out. it was nice but he didnt have things the way i would have liked them. so i sort of dismissed it but then in the back of my mind i thought about it. and one night i saw it for about $50 with $5 shipping so i jumped on it. Best mouse i have ever used and thats including all the other logitech g series and mx518, diamondback, lachiess, and copperhead razor. It has so much customizability you can make it feel perfect. i myself like all the weights and the small drytech grip. coming from the mx518 shaped mouse it can feel weird and uncomfortable at first but you get used to it fast and it becomes actually quite comfortable. i game for hours at a time about 4 to 9 hours a day and i never get hand cramps or discomfort in my hand.

    Great Mouse5
    This is a wonderful mouse. Highly recommended. Some find it not responsive enough for FPS gaming, but it has done well for me in CounterStrike, Call of Duty, and Unreal Tournament. It also has been great for graphical editing.

    I do, however, have to say that there is nothing ground-shattering about this mouse. It works very well, is very reliable, is very comfortable, and is highly configurable--but still, it's a mouse. Don't break your bank on it. If it goes on sale or you like the cool look, go for it. Otherwise, you can afford to wait for a sale.
