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

00:00:07.439 --> 00:00:14.839
of these from inventory thinking there might be some difference between them

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:18.720
now as far as differences go you can see

00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:20.439
that they both have PC USB connection

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:24.199
they both have laser tracking they both have nine buttons they both have a tilt

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:28.160
wheel they both have full speed USB adjustable sensitivity weight tuning

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:32.399
hyperfast scroll and onboard memory they both literally have exactly the same

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

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:43.280
Next Generation gaming laser featuring

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:46.640
5600 DPI whereas the old G9 uses an

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:48.840
older laser with 3200 DPI so we're not

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:54.879
even going to bother unboxing the G9 because it's exactly the same thing as

00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:56.280
the g9x except for the one small change

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:03.399
so let me see yeah 3200 and 5700 DPI for the new

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

00:01:05.320 --> 00:01:10.520
now the G9 original is actually my

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

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

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

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

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:29.520
hybrid between a claw grip and a palm grip and I find it very very comfortable

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:34.200
it tracks incredibly well on a variety of surf surfes and I guess that's about

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

00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:42.439
that while the cameraman was looking at it but there's a durable low friction

00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:46.840
corded braid there's a corded braid braided cord in-game sensitivity DP

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

00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:56.079
the back and forward buttons are invaluable when you're browsing the

00:01:54.119 --> 00:01:59.479
internet and they are here or here that it comes with two different grips so you

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:03.360
can either use the wider grip or the narrower grip depending on the size of

00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:07.039
your hands which is a great feature you can have adjustable weight in the mouse

00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:10.239
I use mine fully loaded up but not Everyone likes a heavy Mouse so you can

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.760
lighten it up that way that's pretty much it yeah okay so

00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:19.080
why don't we get the oh dry grip technology this is stupid I again if

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

00:02:20.519 --> 00:02:26.560
that the grip is totally coming off the mouse and uh the reason for that is

00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:31.160
because they use like this weird like rubberized grippy material that sort of

00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:36.319
peels after a while and looks like your mouse has leprosy um so that I guess

00:02:33.640 --> 00:02:40.800
would be my one complaint about this mouse and I mean that's a fairly minor

00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:46.200
thing in the grand scheme of you know the world but that is my complaint about

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

00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:55.400
don't we start with the accessory package here let's get this opened up

00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:57.680
first of all it comes with a user's

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

00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:05.440
seems to have have about 300 different languages uh no four sorry English

00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:09.560
Spanish French and Portuguese of all things then you've got uh the same

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

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:18.159
interchangeable grips how to turn on oh I'll have to show you this after the

00:03:16.040 --> 00:03:21.360
micro gear Precision scroll wheel so you you can actually press a button on the

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:25.840
bottom of the mouse and then you can either scroll uh without clicks and you

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

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

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:37.159
can have like clicky clicky line by line scrolling okay tune for the way you play

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

00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:46.159
whatever you want green blue brown uh

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:49.560
set point 5.2 download the latest off the Logitech website they're always

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

00:03:53.079 --> 00:03:57.920
here they're saying download the latest g9x software blah blah blah so that's

00:03:56.079 --> 00:04:03.599
pretty much what I just said FCC compliance who cares us usage some USB

00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:08.239
hubs oh they're saying this is a high powered Mouse so basically you won't

00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:11.799
necessarily be able to use it in an unpowered USB hub now that brings me to

00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:17.560
some of the Gigabyte boards that we've unboxed and had a look at recently which

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:19.359
offer their 3x USB power feature so that

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

00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:27.080
easily run a few of these mice even though you're using an unpowered Hub

00:04:25.479 --> 00:04:30.960
because there's so much more power coming from the USB port so as what was

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

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

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

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

00:04:45.320 --> 00:04:50.759
these two fingers and then a Groove here for your thumb and the back and forward

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:55.000
buttons are quite comfortable and easy to reach on the side now at the bottom

00:04:53.120 --> 00:05:00.360
of the mouse this is the micro gear button where you can switch

00:04:56.919 --> 00:05:01.880
between okay can you hear that

00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:07.240
so that's it just spinning and spinning and spinning and then you can switch

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.520
between that and like a more clicky mode

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

00:05:10.440 --> 00:05:16.320
why you would these Teflon feed are great uh they've taken forever in a year

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

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

00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:27.919
year okay and then this button right here there you go is for removing the

00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:32.639
interchangeable grips so here I'm going to show you the other one as well so

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

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

00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:45.319
all the buttons are still exactly where you expected them but the ergonomics

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

00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:53.400
no longer makes contact with the Palm for a comfortable grip on the mouse so

00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:57.160
it's a user preference thing but you have to take the uh the tops off

00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:01.240
actually in order to access the spring-loaded weight cartridges so there

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

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

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

00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:19.759
like that and I think that pretty much concludes everything I wanted to say

00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:24.800
about the g9x laser thank you for checking out my unboxing and product

00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.800
