00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:09,519
So today we're going to be having a look at the G9 and the g9x now I grabbed both

2
00:00:07,439 --> 00:00:14,839
of these from inventory thinking there might be some difference between them

3
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:18,720
now as far as differences go you can see

4
00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:20,439
that they both have PC USB connection

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,199
they both have laser tracking they both have nine buttons they both have a tilt

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:28,160
wheel they both have full speed USB adjustable sensitivity weight tuning

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,399
hyperfast scroll and onboard memory they both literally have exactly the same

8
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:38,559
bullet points down here the difference as far as I can tell is that this has a

9
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:43,280
Next Generation gaming laser featuring

10
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:46,640
5600 DPI whereas the old G9 uses an

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,840
older laser with 3200 DPI so we're not

12
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:54,879
even going to bother unboxing the G9 because it's exactly the same thing as

13
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:56,280
the g9x except for the one small change

14
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:03,399
so let me see yeah 3200 and 5700 DPI for the new

15
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:08,479
one okay so let's open up the g9x here and get this unboxing show on the road

16
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:10,520
now the G9 original is actually my

17
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:13,960
second favorite mouse ever I use one at work and if you've seen some of my

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,360
videos you'll see it on my desk there the one complaint I have about it is

19
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:21,560
that the middle the the scroll wheel is metal and it often shocks me when I sit

20
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:25,439
down at my desk but what can you do uh the ergonomics are great it's kind of a

21
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:29,520
hybrid between a claw grip and a palm grip and I find it very very comfortable

22
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:34,200
it tracks incredibly well on a variety of surf surfes and I guess that's about

23
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:38,280
as much gushing as I really need to do um I don't know if you were able to read

24
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:42,439
that while the cameraman was looking at it but there's a durable low friction

25
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:46,840
corded braid there's a corded braid braided cord in-game sensitivity DP

26
00:01:45,399 --> 00:01:52,399
profile okay so these buttons right here you're allowed to switch between four different levels of DPI or sensitivity

27
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:56,079
the back and forward buttons are invaluable when you're browsing the

28
00:01:54,119 --> 00:01:59,479
internet and they are here or here that it comes with two different grips so you

29
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:03,360
can either use the wider grip or the narrower grip depending on the size of

30
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:07,039
your hands which is a great feature you can have adjustable weight in the mouse

31
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:10,239
I use mine fully loaded up but not Everyone likes a heavy Mouse so you can

32
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:14,760
lighten it up that way that's pretty much it yeah okay so

33
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:19,080
why don't we get the oh dry grip technology this is stupid I again if

34
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:22,400
you've seen the one in my blog uh videos the one that's on my desk you can see

35
00:02:20,519 --> 00:02:26,560
that the grip is totally coming off the mouse and uh the reason for that is

36
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:31,160
because they use like this weird like rubberized grippy material that sort of

37
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:36,319
peels after a while and looks like your mouse has leprosy um so that I guess

38
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:40,800
would be my one complaint about this mouse and I mean that's a fairly minor

39
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:46,200
thing in the grand scheme of you know the world but that is my complaint about

40
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:49,720
the G9 Mouse and the g9x seems to be more of the same except better so why

41
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:55,400
don't we start with the accessory package here let's get this opened up

42
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:57,680
first of all it comes with a user's

43
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:01,000
guide okay so the wow the user's guide is actually really thick for a mouse it

44
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:05,440
seems to have have about 300 different languages uh no four sorry English

45
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:09,560
Spanish French and Portuguese of all things then you've got uh the same

46
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:14,760
information that we found on the box how to plug in a USB port how to change the

47
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:18,159
interchangeable grips how to turn on oh I'll have to show you this after the

48
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:21,360
micro gear Precision scroll wheel so you you can actually press a button on the

49
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:25,840
bottom of the mouse and then you can either scroll uh without clicks and you

50
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:30,280
can just flick it and it'll go for a really long time like if you have hundreds of lines in an Excel

51
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:33,640
spreadsheet or you can set it click it again on the bottom of the mouse and you

52
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:37,159
can have like clicky clicky line by line scrolling okay tune for the way you play

53
00:03:35,959 --> 00:03:44,000
oh yeah you can change the color of the LEDs on the top of the mouse the one on my desk is pink but you can change it to

54
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:46,159
whatever you want green blue brown uh

55
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,560
set point 5.2 download the latest off the Logitech website they're always

56
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:54,400
updating with new features and stuff like that so you want to make sure you're grabbing the latest copy um yeah

57
00:03:53,079 --> 00:03:57,920
here they're saying download the latest g9x software blah blah blah so that's

58
00:03:56,079 --> 00:04:03,599
pretty much what I just said FCC compliance who cares us usage some USB

59
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:08,239
hubs oh they're saying this is a high powered Mouse so basically you won't

60
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:11,799
necessarily be able to use it in an unpowered USB hub now that brings me to

61
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:17,560
some of the Gigabyte boards that we've unboxed and had a look at recently which

62
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,359
offer their 3x USB power feature so that

63
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:23,759
means that if you had a Gigabyte board and you plugged it into a hub it could

64
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:27,080
easily run a few of these mice even though you're using an unpowered Hub

65
00:04:25,479 --> 00:04:30,960
because there's so much more power coming from the USB port so as what was

66
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:36,680
talking about with the general ergonomics of the mouse you can see it's quite a comfortable grip the the butt

67
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:40,000
end of the mouse so to speak sits in your palm but then you actually grip the

68
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,919
rest of the mouse with kind of a fingertip grip so that's what I meant by

69
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,240
saying it's kind of a hybrid between the two and it has a little Groove here for

70
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,759
these two fingers and then a Groove here for your thumb and the back and forward

71
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:55,000
buttons are quite comfortable and easy to reach on the side now at the bottom

72
00:04:53,120 --> 00:05:00,360
of the mouse this is the micro gear button where you can switch

73
00:04:56,919 --> 00:05:01,880
between okay can you hear that

74
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:07,240
so that's it just spinning and spinning and spinning and then you can switch

75
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,520
between that and like a more clicky mode

76
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:12,120
okay at the bottom you can change the profile I never do that I can't imagine

77
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:16,320
why you would these Teflon feed are great uh they've taken forever in a year

78
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,600
to wear out I'm using it on an aluminum mouse pad so they should be wearing out

79
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:23,960
fast but they're doing really well I've had this mouse for yeah like well over a

80
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:27,919
year okay and then this button right here there you go is for removing the

81
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:32,639
interchangeable grips so here I'm going to show you the other one as well so

82
00:05:29,919 --> 00:05:37,840
this is the more slim grip I never use this one mine is in like new condition

83
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:41,319
um but should you desire to use the Slimmer one you just pop it on like that

84
00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:45,319
all the buttons are still exactly where you expected them but the ergonomics

85
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:49,319
change quite a lot so I mean I guess if you're more fingertip grippy you see it

86
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,400
no longer makes contact with the Palm for a comfortable grip on the mouse so

87
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:57,160
it's a user preference thing but you have to take the uh the tops off

88
00:05:55,319 --> 00:06:01,240
actually in order to access the spring-loaded weight cartridges so there

89
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:06,199
we go and that's another accessory that I haven't shown you yet is the little

90
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:11,680
weight box so you can load it up with up to 28 GS or any combination of 4 G and 7

91
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:16,080
G weights you can put up to four in it at a time and then you just go in there

92
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:19,759
like that and I think that pretty much concludes everything I wanted to say

93
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:24,800
about the g9x laser thank you for checking out my unboxing and product

94
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,800
overview
