$20 for a small light weight piece of plastic isn’t much of deal just for a graphic on the cover. The mouse ships with 2 covers, one with grips and one smooth so there’s no need to drop $20 more on this unless money means nothing to you. When I bought the mouse, I thought it was a nice concept to have a replaceable cover and this wouldn’t be too bad if it were at least HALF of what they’re selling them for. What’s really ridiculous is that the G9 mouse is $60 but a cover is $20? The old Ideazon keyboard replacements for games were only $20 and that was basically the entire keyboard inset.
My G9X mouse is awesome and replaced a G5 which replaced an MX518. Great mice but this is a rather poor price point.
I just got myself a G9x mouse and was immediately shocked by the hand fatigue from the mouse. I really wanted to like the mouse, so I looked into what I could do to relieve the fatigue. I stumbled across the ID grip, which mimics the more traditional MX518/G500 mouse shape (higher and longer than the other included grips to better cradle the palm). Logitech no longer personalizes them to order and probably won’t ever again as I have read. Thankfully, Amazon is selling these (albeit not personalize-able). At $19.99, no deal. However, at the $8 that Amazon is now selling them, decent deal. After putting the new grip on, I immediately realized that my hand and arm were more comfortable (much like other Logitech mice I’ve used in the past). If you’re unsatisfied with the feel of your G9/G9x, definitely look into this.
