I recently picked up a Logitech G9 (not G9x) from Best Buy's website for a hair under $50.00 (w/ tax and shipping). Its an online-only deal: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Logitech+-+G9+Laser+Gaming+Mouse/8472324.p?id=1185265538878 So far I'm quite impressed. It feels really nice and there are several features that I didn't have before; adjustable weights/dpi, different "profiles", click or free-spin scroll wheel, changeable grips, etc. It feels good and besides a early snafu where the weight tray got stuck inside the mouse (wouldn't eject), it has been a wholly positive experience. Best mouse I've ever owned/used. Going from a cordless (looks like a Logitech LX3 but is wireless) to a corded (G9) doesn't seem to make a noticeable difference. I've only done some RTS gaming w/ this mouse, so I can't say how useful it is for other types of games (e.g., using the adjustable DPI on FPS'). Just a few months ago I saw a MS Sidewinder (I think) in Best Buy--one w/ adjustable weights, dpi, etc.--and thought "Wow, what a load of crap--who needs this?". I guess it makes a difference (or I've just been bamboozled). Seems to work well enough in Windows 7 (64-bit) and Ubuntu 9.10 (amd64). I haven't tried any complicated configurations, YMMV. I think someone previously asked what weight configurations people were using in their G9. I'm currently at 16g. I just went w/ what I felt was a middle-range, I haven't adjusted it since.
