Logitech G9 Laser Mouse Review

To preface this short review, I am not a competitive gamer but I do play the occasional FPS. I have had this mouse for about a month now. I come from a Logitech MX1000, which is not a gaming mouse and a palm-grip mouse.

The mouse is very well built and intuitive to use. It moves very smoothly on a generic mousepad and the rubberized grip has a pleasant texture. Sensitivity buttons and profiles work flawlessly. Although the software is good, I did not have to install anything to get most of the major functionality. I did not have any difficulty switching from a palm grip to a claw grip (the mouse is a little small for me, however), and weight adjustments were quick and easy. All in all, this is a fantastic mouse.

The main issue is the scroll wheel.
1. The first problem is the smooth hyper scroll is much too "loose." Mere bumps can send the scroll wheel flying and it is very difficult to steady the wheel in one place without holding part of your scrolling finger against the top of the mouse. The clicky scroll has no issues.
2. The second problem is the scroll wheel click is a little hard to press. This may be intentional to prevent click accidents, but a little more "give" would be ideal.
3. Right side scroll requires too much force and the wheel doesn't feel like it is moving very much. Left side scroll has no issues, however. If the left sided scroll motion was not so easy to perform, there would be no way you could tell side scrolling was a capability of this mouse.
