I'm looking at getting a Logitech G9 gaming mouse. Anyone have one that could give me their thoughts for/against it? I realize that some of it comes down to feel, of course.

G9 Pros and Cons

I bought it recently. The mouse feels very robust and the scroll wheel is awsome! All these programmable buttons it has will truly help you when gaming or just surfing. For example i use the two side buttons for grenade / reload when gaming and back / forward when surfing. As soon as you find the grip and weight that fits you best, it will become one with your hand! I mean, i was never pleased with a mouse until i found that. Combine it with a good mousepad and you will start all your FPS from the beginning!
I've been using one since October 2007 (upgraded from MX518) and I really like it. It's by no means a perfect mouse, but in my opinion it's one of the better choices around. Here's my view on pros and cons:
Pros:
+ Sharp and accurate control
+ Built-in memory for mouse profiles
+ Customizable with weights (weight cartridge has four slots for the weights) - 4x4g and 4x7g weights are included
+ Detachable and interchangable mouse grip (wide and narrower grip included)
+ No need to install drivers (unless you want to edit stored profiles or change led colors)
Neutrals:
= Two modes for the mouse wheel, regular ('stepped' scrolling) and MicroWheel ('stepless' scrolling)
= Customizable led color for mouse resolution indicator
Cons:
- Terribly ugly, looks like a gadget from an old sci-fi movie
- Expensive
- Thumb button placement on the grips could be slightly better
- Profile switcher and wheel function switcher buttons are in the bottom

its actually more the fact that laser mice are worse than optical, plus optical mice are cheaper.
-Actually, i find it beautiful!
-Yes, it's not cheap but it's a lot cheaper than a couple of months ago. I think with the current price it's not expensive for what it gives.
-Agreed
-Yes, i would prefer them on the right.
