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.
