Remember the Logitech G9? The totally boss, customizable gaming mouse with awesome mod possibilities like adjustable weight and LED inserts? Well, the G9 Laser Mouse ID Grip is out and ready to take the mouse-gripping experience to the next level. The ID grip will allow G9 mouse enthusiasts to have any image they want custom printed onto the insert of the mouse. The insert will also give the mouse a somewhat new shape. It's available to order online now -- you upload the image and they'll print and send it your way for $19.99. Seems like maybe Logitech's sold so many mice that they're willing to let anything fly, and we do have some good ideas for this after all.

Incredibly tempting. 20$?
I'm getting this with my avatar on it.
Oh wait... its just an add-on? Screw that.
Call me when it's an OLED display...
put some titties on it and grip those bitches. tight!!
you take the good, you take the bad, you take em both, and there you have, the logitech g9
The good - G9 mouse
The bad - customized picture
and there you have it - you're wondering where did that $20 go...
Would be really cool if you were on a team or something... Post your team logo and be s00p3r 1337.
Eh..looks like a Christmas gift for someone. @ $20 they'll appreciate it
Xmas present! New wheels for your car! Woo!! Now you only have to get a car...
Nice xmas present for someone who has G9 mouse? Maybe but as one of those people who have it, I'd rather either order it myself and print the picture I want, or simply skip it, since my mouse is already at the level it can't get better for a reasonable amount of money.
Ah... I remember those days... So young... so naive.
But then I realized it was stupid and I got a new email address.
Hmm... It would probably look nice with a NERV logo on it. =]
How about a picture of a breast? At least you can then say you palmed one all evening.
...so, when I'm having sex with my secretary I'm suppossed to turn my mouse upside down so I don't see the pic of my family?
@ Flashpoint, I don't think you would need a pic to do the right thing. ;-(
Good job failing the linked image.
Dunno if it's worth it, but I will say the G9 is an awesome mouse. May not be worth the ducats, but well made, great software, and just feels good in my hand.
Listen to this guy - instead of buying $20 cover for this mouse, buy G9 mouse as xmas present! Of course if the person doesn't have it yet...
Agreed. This mouse kicks ass.
How does it compaer to my (revised version)g5? Worth the upgrade?
NICE Concept, and is FUGLY as sin...
Professional
Fusion Fuzo
holy shit do you ever stop? god all you ever say is nice and fugly holy shit!
Professional, as always!
I'm just wondering how anyone could pay 20$ for a small little printout when you could buy the mouse and with a little handy work, get it done for free.
Hell, why even bother? Your hand just covers it anyway...
Count me in for 1 boobie-mouse.
The Facts Of Life
I am so old...
Do I smell the best Christmas present ever??
What would be funny is if someone ordered the LOL WUT pear on their mouse.
You mean your secretary Bruce?.... Oh No!
Im gonna make a pic that says
"Dear logitech worker,
I'm trapped in a box with nothing but my computer. I can't get out. Please help me."
I'd love to see the worker's reaction when they print that one out.
Mine would say, "Place hand here."
I wonder if Laura gets to put the images that go with the post. If so, she rawx. Especially considering that was Charlotte Rae in Don't Mess With The Zohan. Meowr.
For anyone who actually games, and used the mx510, mx518, or g5 before getting a g9 will love this. It's long and taller than either of the grips that come with the g9, made to fit like the previously mentioned mice.
that was supposed to say longer...
that's what she said
You take the good
You take the bad
You take them both
And there you have
An ugly mouse, an ugly mouse!
Will they let us use ANY image? *insert devious face*
"Ah... I remember those days... So young... so naive. But then I realized it was stupid and I got a new email address."
Well at least now that your so experienced and smart you don't make crap user name's any more... oh wait, scratch that last part 'bill cant fart'.
@Mr. Chappelle
Your digs against old people and poor grammar aside, I would like you to refer to the following graph:

Not only are you not funny, clever, or interesting, but you have staggeringly little creativity. There's even a graph!
Kids these days.
I have to be honest, the G9 is the ugliest mouse Logitech have made.
Very strange move by Logitech.
I was sold on this before I even realized that it could be any image. The Facts of Life is my favorite show of all time. I was hoping it was just some weird company making a Facts of Life mouse :P
I am totally sold on one of these but they don't ship to the UK! Why do you Americans get all the best add-ons!
You can just put a picture of the color black and Eureka! A normal mouse!
use that blur tool, i can tell it's shopped!
I want a Goatse mouse. I'm only kind of joking.
Put a mobile number with a photo of someone half as attractive as Mila Kunis on it (because thats about as good as you'll find), see who calls.
