Hi - noticed this was at the cheapest ever price, even though it's 2014 and there's a whole bunch of newer tech, there's some who love this mouse + it's EOL so quite difficult to find.

I've checked store stock, seems to be quite a few stores with remaining stock around the country so best of luck to those who are interested.

I've never used one so I can't comment on it. Last time this was popular for COTD @ $40 delivered for MW3 version. Apparently good for claw grippers, I'll have a look at it in store and decide if I want it for work maybe :)

    I own and use one of these. They come with different weights so you can adjust the overall mass of the mouse.
    It is smooth, precise and one of the best mice I've owned.

    I don't use any of the gaming buttons - and just use it for everyday desktop use. But it is quite comfortable and great for long term use.

    p.s. it cost me a lot more than $35 several years ago and this is a bargain

  • eathb on 13/02/2014 - 15:43

    This mouse is used by several "pro-gamers" especially in Starcraft 2, so this is a good price for a good mouse.

      Most professional SC2 gamers (along with hardcore Counter-Strike players) actually use incredibly pedestrian and cheap mice; and the majority are optical, due to the unavoidable acceleration inherent in laser sensors and their jitteriness on mousepads.

      Here's a good quote from Fatal1ty (Jonathon Wendel; one of the best pro FPS players) on the advantages of optical sensors: http://fatal1ty.com/fatal1ty-frags-blog-3rd-frag-mouse-sensi…
      Another good read countering the popular misconception that lasers, by virtue of being newer, must be better:

      Back in the days pro gamers used Microsoft Intellimice — no DPS settings, no special drivers, no macros. It was just a mouse with good ergonomics, and good durability.

      One of the best mice ever made, before laser mice became common. It's probably the first mouse that everyone started with (if you were a 90's kid) before moving onto MX518's and DeathAdders.

      • Michael15286 on 13/02/2014 - 18:13

        I had one of these as a kid, and one of my friends who uses a gaming mouse laughed when he saw it. I said I use it because it works pretty damn well. Only bought a gaming mouse once it died ;.;

      • bargainsville on 13/02/2014 - 19:28

        Ha, my last mouse was an intellimouse, and my current mouse is an mx510…

        The MS is still in a drawer somewhere, just need to fix the usb cable :P

        I've spent a small fortune on those. The mouse buttons invariably failed within a few months. One started double-clicking every time I clicked it. On another I had to hold the left button down until it finally connected and clicked. I'm amazed people used for them gaming, continually clicking them - because all the ones I had were junk.

        • airzone on 04/03/2014 - 09:57

          I had happen with my M950… But after a while, I just changed the micro-switch out..

      • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 25/02/2014 - 20:49

        i hated the intellimouse though. i thought it was chunky and cumbersome. So the first mouse i bought was a MX300, and later MX700.

  • [Deactivated] on 13/02/2014 - 15:52

    Awesome! I'm gonna go check out the store across the road

  • Weezle on 13/02/2014 - 15:55

    I owned one of these for two years. In the end the mouse wheel completely stopped working. I'm not sure why.

    Other than that, it is a good mouse particularly for gaming.. and it is nicely priced.

  • GreyGargoyle on 13/02/2014 - 16:12

    I used one of these for a long time, and in fact when my first one died, I bought a second and used it until the scroll wheel malfunctioned. I've moved onto new mice, but for the price you wont regret it.

    • rambao9 on 13/02/2014 - 22:36

      When the scroll wheel stops working, just take off the extra coverand smack its bum.
      happened to me last night, easy fix. something blocks the sensor apparently

  • Oil1 on 13/02/2014 - 16:26

    I've used mine for many years and absolutely love it. I even bought a spare if this one eventually dies. I've never found a more comfortable mouse, and when I did play WoW quite a few years ago, the side buttons were a god send.

    I own two G9's (not G9X) and would certainly recommend them. Even as a desktop mouse they are very good, in particular I love the free spinning scroll wheel for web and document browsing.

  • compound on 13/02/2014 - 17:30

    Best mouse on the market imo.

    Sold my one a few years back and regretted it ever since. Picked one up nearby thanks OP.

  • yeahnah-nahyeah on 13/02/2014 - 17:42

    i bought the g9x from the COTD last year. Build quality is great. I have small hands and use a claw grip and it fits fine.

    My only issue is the lift off distance from the surface. It is VERY high for a gaming mouse. Do a quick google for "g9x lift off distance" and you'll find quite a lot of people who find it quite frustrating.

    So i imagine that if you dont lift off the surface much, you'll be fine (i.e. you have a high sensitivity).

    I found a 'fix' for it which is to put a piece of black tape to cover half of the sensor on the bottom. It greatly reduces the lift off distances and makes it usable — after that it's fine BUT it does mean that every now and then you'll have to re-adjust the tape back on again.

    Personally i would say that's the biggest blemish about the g9x. I'm happy to live with it (with the tape on), but I definitely would have thought twice about it had i known beforehand.

  • samfisher5986 on 13/02/2014 - 17:45

    This mouse is amazing for me and likely many who want the same benefit.

    The way my hand rests on it is amazing (notice how its shaped differently)

  • soupiejr on 13/02/2014 - 17:57

    ABSOLUTELY HANDS DOWN THE WORST MOUSE EVER!!!

    I have the G9, the one before this model, and have been using it for the past 5 years now. Bought this model as a replacement about a year ago because it was on sale at logitechshop. I figured, the G9 would most likely break down in a few months' time (what mouse could last 5 years, especially with me playing FPS games just about 2 hours every night?).

    Sure enough, 1 year later, the G9 has yet to break. The G9x is still in its box. WHY WON'T IT BREAK??? WHERE'S THE PLANNED OBSOLESENCE!?!? LET IT DIE ALREADY!!!!!

    • HereYeeHereYee on 13/02/2014 - 18:15

      Hahahah gold!

      Have you tried to drown it by any chance? :P

    • ihfree on 21/02/2014 - 20:08

      Bought a new G9X shell off Ebay for my G9 for about $5 when mine started to wear out.

      As a result, still just like brand new mouse. Can do the same for yours to increase it's longevity :)

  • Trobed on 13/02/2014 - 18:05

    Looking for a good mouse? Get this. This has almost no flaws. My only regret is that I bought the MW3 branded one because it was cheap. Looks much nicer without CALL OF DUTY all over it.

    • dogboy on 14/02/2014 - 09:26

      Agreed. I use some sandpaper to remove the COD logo on mine. Don't want anyone thinking I play those crap games.

    Not to be spoil the party, but I had a G9 which died on me 1 month after 2 year warranty. Thought meh ok, i got good use out of it so I bought a G9X from the LTS. This one died Inside warranty, but havent been bothered to claim on warranty yet so bought a completely different mouse. Yes it was a great mouse but longevity wasnt on my side so I changed from logitech to Func. Pretty great mouse so far.

    Brilliant mouse for the money! Have tried death adders, g400s and a roccat. These are definitely best! The two thumb macros come in handy!

    Thanks OP!!!

    I Managed to grab four mice from three different stores..

    Now I have a few to give to friends and a spare for myself in case my original G9 breaks..

    They are such a good mouse.. I have had my G9 for about 4-5 years and it is the best piece of PC equipment I've owned =)

    Just a heads up for anyone calling and asking the store to look up if any others have it in stock.. Don't listen to them.. Call every store around your area yourself, because some of the stores I called said there wasn't any stock anywhere, but I managed to find some by calling 8 different stores..

    Good luck ;)

    • ThadtheChad on 23/02/2014 - 11:40

      IDK why you got negged. Is it because you bought 4 for friends and family?

      I think OzBers need to recalibrate their "broden-meters" and stop baying for blood everytime someone buys >1 of a good deal.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/02/2014 - 17:04

  • pork chop on 14/02/2014 - 19:44

    I've never owned a 'gaming' mouse so just out of curiosity, how's this mouse compare to the Logitech Anywhere MX which I'm very happy with?

    • scrimshaw on 14/02/2014 - 19:57
      +1

      The differences only come into play when you're in a FPS game, for general purpose usage you will probably not notice any significant improvements. After all, your mouse is not constantly on the move, but you will move the mouse a lot more in a Quakelive game.

      Ergonomics are mostly what a gaming mouse is about, but they offer increased and adjustable polling rates, on the fly DPI adjustment, and other kinds of re-programmable buttons or acceleration sensitivities that change depending on the program you're using.

    Grabbed one - thanks OP. Took a few phone calls to the local store, as the POS system told them they had 2 in stock, but they couldn't find them. Ended up dropping in, on the off chance and they had one last rummage around and found one!

    Don't forget to salvage the rather nice magnets from the packaging before recycling… :)
