The Logitech
G9 mouse is still the one I primarily use for my PC gaming. I've been a little disappointed to see that there hasn't been any new grips coming out for the sucker but that's going to change a little now. Here's the first new product to update the mouse and it's a long time coming. Logitech will now let you
customize the look of your
G9 for $19.99. The
ID Grip for the
G9 mouse looks like one of the grips that comes with the peripheral but I can't be sure until I get my hands on one. The product will let you design your own look or use one of the pre-defined ones to give your
G9 a personal touch. I think I'll put a picture of Chuck's forehead on mine so I can face palm it for all the times he decides to run off on his own in a team game.
Make It Personal: Logitech Unveils New
ID Grip for G9 Laser Mouse
Custom Printing Process Allows Gamers To Personalize
Grip with Image of Their Choice
FREMONT, Calif. – Dec. 5, 2008 — The Logitech® G9 Laser Mouse has always offered gamers the ability to tune their mouse for the way they play – including features such as weight tuning, interchangeable grips and custom-color LEDs. Now, Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) lets you make the G9 mouse even more personal with the introduction of the Logitech® G9 Laser Mouse ID Grip. With the ID Grip, you can have the image of your choice printed on the palm area of the grip. You can choose among game-specific artwork, a selection from a gallery of designs created by Logitech, or an image you provide.
“In surveying gamers who own a Logitech mouse, we learned that more than 65 percent want to mod their hardware,” said Rory Dooley, Logitech senior vice president and general manager of the Control Devices business unit. “The Logitech G9 Laser Mouse ID Grip provides gamers with a new level of personalization. Whether it’s a guild logo or a personal photo, we’re delighted to give gamers the ability to make the G9 mouse even more a reflection of their unique personality.”
To provide a durable image that won’t fade even after intense gaming, the rub- and fade-proof image is applied with a specially designed custom printing process that infuses it into the surface of the grip. The result is a high-quality, high-resolution color image. And adding an image to the grip is easy. You can choose from game-specific artwork, such as Command & Conquer™ Red Alert™ 3 from Electronic Arts Inc., or upload a personal image of your own. (Certain restrictions apply; uploads subject to technical and image-content requirements.)
In addition to helping you further personalize your G9 mouse, Logitech’s grip presents a new shape. Providing exceptional palm and wrist support, the broad-shaped grip is designed for extended gameplay, and can make even those gamers with large hands feel comfortable. In addition, a soft-touch side grip offers a comfortable texture that feels good during short gaming sessions and epic battles. Easy to snap on to the G9 Laser Mouse, the ID Grip can be attached or detached with the push of a button.
