Logitech Unveils G9 Mouse and Revised G15 Keyboard

Last week, there was rampant rumor floating around the web about a potential G9 mouse from Logitech. After looking over all of the info, it looked completely fake, so I refrained from posting any news about it. Well it turns out that, it’s completely true, but some of the facts that floated around were slanted.

This mouse promises to take customization to a new level, which explains the reason for the design change. According to Logitech, the amount of adjustable features on the mouse, including software, is unprecedented. The mouse includes two grips, precision and wide load. Yes, it’s really called Wide Load. Each grip has a different feel, so it’s up to you to test both and settle on one.

1600DPI not doing it for you anymore? No worries, as the G9 goes all the way up to 3200DPI. Is that needed? Of course not, but you will definitely have the advantage in bragging rights. Also included is a custom-color LED, which is one of the coolest parts of the mouse. Choosing from a spectrum of hundreds of colors, you can choose the one that sets your mood. These LEDs show such info as battery-life and DPI settings. Lastly, the mouse borrows a feature from the G5 (weight system) and MX Revolution (two-setting scroll wheel) to help make this the most customizable mouse ever. I admit, I -want- one.

The G9 is not the only new product being unveiled today though. The popular G15 gamers keyboard is also getting an overhaul, which includes native support from the ‘most popular games’ for the GamePanel LCD screen which is backlit and has a 160x43px resolution. Whereas the original had eighteen separate ‘G’ buttons, the revised G15 includes only six, which can be shifted more than once to scroll through all eighteen. Also new is the look, which you can see in the photo below:

The G9 mouse will be shipping this month for an SRP of $99, while the G15 will arrive in October also at $99.
