later, i played with the G9x at a convention at the ASUS stand, and fell in love with it. Rubber feel, perfect weight, VERY cheap, good feel, not too clicky( but still ) corded, gold plated usb... i'm in love with this mouse, really
oh and forgot to mention : first post here ! hope to stay in, and for a log time !
Welcome to DT, if you plan on posting in the mouse forum you'll probably see a lot of me.
Is the G9x really considered cheap? I mean, it's not up there with flagship mice like the Mamba and RAT 9, but it's an expensive mouse to anyone not into computer peripherals. Or at least used to be, price might have dropped a bit by now.
Great mouse, though, one of my favourites and I've got a friend who swears by it.
As a side note; I find it funny that you mention gold plated USB as a plus, as far as I know there is no evidence of this actually making a significant difference. If there is evidence supporting this I'd be interested in reading it.
