 So, today we're going to be having a look at the G9 and the G9X. Now I grabbed both of these from inventory thinking there might be some difference between them. Now as far as differences go, you can see that they both have PC USB connection, they both have laser tracking, they both have nine buttons, they both have a tilt wheel, they both have full speed USB, adjustable sensitivity, weight tuning, hyper fast scroll, and onboard memory. So we have exactly the same bullet points down here. The difference, as far as I can tell, is that this has a next generation gaming laser featuring 5600 DPI, whereas the old G9 uses an older laser with 3200 DPI. So we're not even going to bother unboxing the G9 because it's exactly the same thing as the G9X except for the one small change. So let me see. Yeah, 3200 and 5700 DPI for the new one. Okay, so let's open up the G9X here and get this unboxing show on the road. Now the G9 original is actually my second favorite mouse ever. I use one at work and if you've seen some of my videos you'll see it on my desk there. The one complaint I have about it is that the scroll wheel is metal and it often shocks me when I sit down at my desk, but what can you do? The ergonomics are great. It's kind of a hybrid between a claw grip and a palm grip and I find it very, very comfortable. It tracks incredibly well on a variety of surfaces and I guess that's about as much gushing as I really need to do. I don't know if you were able to read that while the cameraman was looking at it, but there's a durable low friction corded braid. There's a corded braid. Braided cord. In game sensitivity, DPI profile. Okay, so these buttons right here you're allowed to switch between four different levels of DPI or sensitivity. The back and forward buttons are invaluable when you're browsing the internet and they're here or here. It comes with two different grips. So you can either use the wider grip or the narrower grip depending on the size of your hands which is a great feature. You can have adjustable weight in the mouse. I use mine fully loaded up, but not everyone likes a heavy mouse so you can lighten it up that way. That's pretty much it. Yeah, okay. So why don't we get the, oh, dry grip technology. This is stupid. Again, if you've seen the one in my blog videos, the one that's on my desk, you can see that the grip is totally coming off the mouse. The reason for that is because they use this weird rubberized grippy material that sort of peels after a while and looks like your mouse has leprosy. So that I guess would be my one complaint about this mouse. I mean, that's a fairly minor thing in the grand scheme of the world, but that is my complaint about the G9 mouse. The G9X seems to be more of the same except better. So why don't we start with the accessory package here? Let's get this opened up. First of all, it comes with a user's guide. Okay, so wow, the user's guide is actually really thick for a mouse. It seems to have about 300 different languages. No, four, sorry. English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese of all things. Then you've got the same information that we found on the box. How to plug in a USB port, how to change the interchangeable grips, how to turn on, oh, I'll have to show you this after. The microgear precision scroll wheel. So you can actually press a button on the bottom of the mouse and then you can either scroll without clicks and you can just flick it and it'll go for a really long time. Like if you have hundreds of lines in an Excel spreadsheet or you can set it, click it again on the bottom of the mouse and you can have like clicky clicky line by line scrolling. Okay, tune for the way you play. Oh yeah, you can change the color of the LEDs on the top of the mouse. The one on my desk is pink, but you can change it to whatever you want. Green, blue, brown. Set point 5.2, download the latest off the Logitech website. They're always updating with new features and stuff like that, so you want to make sure you're grabbing the latest copy. Yeah, here they're saying download the latest G9X software, blah, blah, blah. So that's pretty much what I just said. FCC compliance, who cares? USB usage. Some USB hubs, oh, they're saying this is a high powered mouse, so basically you won't necessarily be able to use it in an unpowered USB hub. Now that brings me to some of the gigabyte boards that we've unboxed and had a look at recently, which offer their 3X USB power feature. So that means that if you had a gigabyte board and you plugged it into a hub, it could easily run a few of these mice even though you're using an unpowered hub because there's so much more power coming from the USB port. So as I was talking about with the general ergonomics of the mouse, you can see it's quite a comfortable grip. The butt end of the mouse, so to speak, sits in your palm, but then you actually grip the rest of the mouse with kind of a fingertip grip. So that's what I meant by saying it's kind of a hybrid between the two, and it has a little groove here for these two fingers, and then a groove here for your thumb, and the back and forward buttons are quite comfortable and easy to reach on the side. Now at the bottom of the mouse, this is the micro gear button where you can switch between, okay, can you hear that? So that's it just spinning and spinning and spinning, and then you can switch between that and like a more clicky mode. Okay, at the bottom you can change the profile, I'd never do that, I can't imagine why you would. The feet are great, they've taken forever in a year to wear out, I'm using it on an aluminum mouse pad, so they should be wearing out fast, but they're doing really well. I've had this mouse for, yeah, like well over a year. Okay and then this button right here, there you go, is for removing the interchangeable grip. So here I'm going to show you the other one as well. So this is the more slim grip, I never use this one, mine is in like new condition, but should you desire to use the slimmer one, you just pop it on like that, all the buttons are still exactly where you expected them, but the ergonomics change quite a lot. So I mean, I guess if you're more fingertip grippy, you see it no longer makes contact with the palm for a comfortable grip on the mouse, so it's a user preference thing, but you have to take the tops off actually in order to access the spring loaded weight cartridges. So there we go, and that's another accessory that I haven't shown you yet, is the little weight box. So you can load it up with up to 28 grams or any combination of four gram and seven gram weights, you can put up to four in it at a time, and then you just go in there like that. And I think that pretty much concludes everything I wanted to say about the G9X Laser. Thank you for checking out my unboxing and product overview.
