This Gaming Mouse Can Fit All

How you play is personal. You probably have your favorite type of games and your preferred role in those games. You certainly have your own unique style of gameplay. You may be a twitcher, a stalker, a sniper, maybe even a nuker or a healer.

The new Logitech® G9 Laser Mouse was built on the idea that no ordinary mouse fits all. It delivers the ultimate in customization with interchangeable grips, an onboard profiling system, weight tuning, adjustable color LEDs, sensitivity switching and enhanced software.

Here are some highlights of how you can tune the G9 mouse for the way you play:

Interchangeable Grips

Heading for an all-night frag fest? Comfort is king. The G9 comes with two grips in the box: One is larger and offers a cool rubbery-satin surface, while the other is ideal for a fingertip grip and offers Logitech DryGrip technology that helps even the sweatiest of hands maintain a solid grip for extended periods of time. But these two grips are just the start. Additional grip styles will be sold separately in the future.

3200 dpi Engine with Sensitivity Switching

In it to win? Then you’ll need to balance lightning-fast moves with pixel precision. When you need speed to run, duck or cover, the G9’s laser full-speed USB engine delivers ultra-high resolution at up to 3200 dpi. But when you need to aim your crosshairs to the precise pixel before firing, simply downshift the G9’s sensitivity button on the fly to as low as 200 dpi.

Profiling System and Onboard Memory

Got a road game? The G9 comes with onboard memory that allows you to carry your settings with you when you play on other PCs, whether at a tournament, LAN party or friend’s house. You can set up to five profiles, with preferred settings for button assignments (including macros), dpi settings, LED color and report rate. Revamped Setpoint™ software specially built for the G9 makes it easier to create and manage profiles configured for your games.

Weight-Tuning System

When it comes time to weigh in for competition, the G9 mouse gives you the flexibility to find just the right heft and balance with its versatile weight-tuning system. You may like a mouse with more weight; something that feels substantial and easy to control. Others prefer a lightweight mouse, especially those who skate and lift their mouse. A cartridge inserted into the G9’s belly stores up to 28 grams of additional weight with four slots for the included 4- and 7-gram weights. You can choose just the right weight configuration to get the feel you prefer.

Custom-Color LEDs

It’s your mouse; choose your color. The G9 mouse allows you to choose your own color from among hundreds in the color spectrum and see it illuminated on the LED indicator. The color and lighting is cool enough, but the LED also delivers a more important purpose. It lets you know which sensitivity setting is currently active and can also show you which of your profiles is in use.

Raw Performance

Its customizable features separate the G9 mouse from any other mouse on the planet. But what of raw power? The G9 delivers. With full-speed USB, the G9 can report up to 1000 reports/sec, providing ultra-smooth tracking with no lag. Its powerful laser engine offers 6.4 megapixels/second of image processing for high-speed moves and greater precision accuracy. And the G9 mouse is also Logitech’s first gaming mouse to use the company’s revolutionary MicroGear™ Precision Scroll Wheel. Gamers can choose to use this wheel in traditional ratchet mode (click-to-click) for weapon selection or in hyper-fast mode for quick zooming.

Streamlining the Award-Winning G15 Keyboard

Improving upon the popular and award-winning Logitech® G15 Keyboard was no small task. But Logitech has done so by making it… smaller. The streamlined new G15 Keyboard now has a narrower design, making it easier to pack up and take into hostile territory, whether at LAN parties or a friend’s house. Meanwhile, the new magma-orange backlighting will set your G15 keyboard apart from the competition.

The new design has many of the same winning features as the original — such as programmable macros and an integrated LCD showing real-time game stats for the more than 30 games that support it — giving you the same tactical advantage as the original.

If you haven’t already bought a G15 Keyboard, now’s the time to revamp your game. Here are just a few reasons why:

See Real-Time Stats on the GamePanel LCD

The new GamePanel™ LCD is black with orange text, making reading on-screen text easy with even a quick glance, while the new integrated design makes the LCD more durable.

Many game developers have built in specific support for the LCD in their games, streaming valuable real-time stats to the screen so you can stay updated on player rank, server IP, score, times, health status, ammunition levels and more. No other gaming keyboard can deliver this kind of advantage. You can also check the LCD to make sure your system is performing up to speed, in addition to seeing media/music information, e-mail notifications and a clock.

Program up to 18 Macros/Commands for Each Game

It’s time to put your action keys and commands where you need them. With six programmable G keys and three mode buttons, you can program up to 18 different macros or keystrokes for each game. Recording and assigning macros is now easier than ever — it can be a time-saver … and a lifesaver!

Magma-Orange Backlighting

Magma-orange backlighting of the keys adds a visual edge to your PC rig. But it serves a valuable purpose, too. You’ll have no problem navigating to the correct keys in any dark gaming dungeon.

Gaming Mode Switch

No more mistakes. The Gaming Mode Switch disables the Windows key so you won’t get dropped out of your game if you accidentally touch it.

Two USB 1.1 Ports

Tired of reaching behind your gaming rig? The G15 keyboard has two convenient USB 1.1 ports that allow you to plug in non-powered USB devices, such as headset, a flash drive or a mouse.
