    I've heard lots of good things about the Logitech G9x so I decided to pick one up for my incoming m17x R3 and noticed that Newegg has a special on the Logitech G9x for 14 dollars off with coupon code (EMCKAJG69).

    It came out to $53.61 for me which included shipping (Free) and tax.

    Just a heads up this coupon expires tomorrow (9/14/2011)

    Enjoy :)

    Nice find. Personally I went for the Roccat Kova [+] as it has interchangeable LED lights that are all on the alienFX spectrum and the soft touch texture on it is exactly the same as the one on the R3. Match made in heaven to be honest!

    Love my R.A.T 7. Little pricey, but I love how you can customize it to fit your hand. I do wish it had just one more button.

    Tried various gaming mice,in the end,flashy lights & outrageous curves still cannot compare with the simple yet lethal precision of the Xai. :p

    I use a RAzer Naga Molten Edition. Most of my peripherals are razer, I love them.
