Right now, most reviewers say the Logitech G9 is the very best gaming mouse available. Its highly precise laser sensor has a maximum resolution of 3,200 dpi, but that can be dialed down on the fly as needed to as little as 200 dpi. Ergonomics are first-rate with adjustable weights and changeable grips, though some say that other mice might fit the hand a little better. The included SetPoint software is extremely powerful and helps users extract the last drop of performance from the G9.

We found plenty of reviews for the Logitech G9 gaming mouse. The most detailed and informative can be found at ExtremeTech.com, Virtual-Hideout.net and SharkyExtreme.com. The review at EverythingUSB.com is also excellent. However, while the reviewer's opinion of the G9 is made crystal clear, it's not rated or ranked against competing options. You can read many user opinions of the G9 at sites like Newegg.com.

Pros and cons are clearly spelled out, and the mouse is given a rating so it can be easily compared to other options.

Vince Freeman's review of the Logitech G9 is also well done, but perhaps a shade less detailed than those at ExtremeTech.com and Virtual-Hideout.net. Still, testing is extensive and the most important considerations are covered. Pros and cons are clearly spelled out and ratings are provided.

4. EverythingUSB.com

While we prefer some other reviews of the Logitech G9 because they do a better job of rating and ranking it against the competition, Eric Hanson's review is still well done and informative. While alternatives are not discussed in depth, the article leaves no doubt about the reviewer's opinion of the Logitech G9's place among its competitors.

5. NewEgg.com

After over 450 reviews, users give the Logitech G9 a very high composite rating, with most (about 75 percent) calling it excellent. Newegg.com is a particularly good spot to read reviews of mice and other computer products, as posters tend to have a higher-than-average level of technical expertise.
