    great mouse

    lots of futures

    comfort

    and easy to use

    5 Stars NICE PROUDUCT!
    free shipping and it only takes about week of delivery , and i can say this is the best mouse i ever own, fast and reliable!

    and i would’ve like to pay more , but the price is jus fair enough to buy, i would highly recommend this mouse to any gamers in the world~

    4 Stars Has the best wheel I’ve used.
    Finally logitech gets it right with their mouse wheel. The old logitech mice wheels were usually *ok*, but after a while would lose their accuracy and misunderstand when you were scrolling or not scrolling.

    The new G9 though has the best wheel I’ve seen on a mouse. It has two modes of operation, which you can toggle on/off by a physical switch on the bottom side of the mouse. What makes this mouse great is both the quality of the wheel, as well as the fact that you can toggle between “clicked” scrolling and smooth scrolling. For gaming I always switch to clicked scrolling, for precise weapon changing; but then when I’m working or programming, I switch to smooth scrolling. With the smooth scrolling the wheel will continue to spin until you stop it or it runs out of energy. This makes scrolling through long documents really easy (and less noisy).

    All in all, definitely a solid mouse, and is very useful for both gaming and non-gaming. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 due to the somewhat high price.

    3 Stars It’s rather small for people with big hands.
    Pros - A lot of cool features like the weight control, on-the-mouse dpi control, and being able to change the LED to the color you want. And it looks awesome.

    Cons - It might not be best for people with big hands. I used to own a bigger mouse until I bought this one, and maybe i’m just having trouble getting used to it, but it’s pretty uncomfortable. My pinky and the finger for rings touches the mouse pad I have, which is only one more finger touching the mouse pad (only pinky hang out of the mouse) compared to my old one. It might not make much sense, but depending on how you play your games, it makes a big difference.

    If size of the mouse is crucial to you, go to store and actually look at the mouse’s size. That’s what I should have done, but unfortunately I never owned a mouse that is small as this one.

    5 Stars Logitech G9
    Logitech’s G9 laser mouse is possibly the best mouse I’ve ever had to date. It’s extremely accurate, which is a must for both headshots and for the graphics work that I do. The buttons are all nice and clicky and very responsive, and overall the mouse appears to be well- constructed. Read on if you’d like to know more.

    The on-the-fly DPI adjuster comes in pretty handy, though you might just find a sensitivity level you like and stick to it. The mousewheel is another interesting feature, as you can shift it between normal mode for games and applications that make use of each individual ‘click’ of the wheel, and flywheel mode for scrolling rapidly. The button for ’shifting’ as it were is located on the base of the mouse, so its a little awkward to get to, but it keeps it from shifting on accident at the very least.

    The weight system is a little dubious in its usefulness in my opinion, but I like my devices to be weighty so I made it as heavy as a could. There is some difference in handling between a heavy and a light mouse, however, so you might want to play with it. The weights themselves come in a cool aluminum box.

    The swappable grips are another cool feature. One is larger and wider with a soft, smooth finish that’s designed to fit a little better in your palm. The other is more narrow and shallow, with a rough finish that’s easy to hold in a sort of “claw” grip. Personally I prefer the latter type, as my long fingers have always made it easier to hold a mouse with that claw grip. As a bonus, the rough texture also helps to keep my hand from sweating. Regardless of the grip you use, switching between them is incredibly easy and tool-less, so you can spend all the time you want testing them out. Keep in mind that both grips are designed to facilitate accurate, swift hand movements, and aren’t designed to be as ergonomically comfortable as, say, the MX revolution.

    3 Stars Not for photolab users/activation headaches
    Being an event photographer, I was thrilled when I saw the Colormunki marketing literature. It seemed I would finally be able to affordably integrate both monitor and print profiling into my workflow. I’d had recent issues with my lab prints not turning out so well do to bad lab profiles. WRONG. This package is strictly for printers DIRECTLY attached to one’s computer.

    You can not print a color target and send it to your lab to create a profile. I really wish I had known about this before purchasing. I feel the marketing of this product was a bit deceptive, at a minimum. Event photographers are specifically mentioned in the literature and Xrite knows very well that the vast majority of event photographers use labs to print. Also, the literature states that RGB printers can be profiled without noting that this is limited to RGB printers DIRECTLY CONNECTED to your computer.

    The device must also be activated before you are allowed to use it. This also caused me a headache. The device kept showing up as disconnected (I was therefore unable to activate it) and it took me 24 hours of playing around and searching Xrite’s site to be albe to get it to work properly. If a company deems it necessary to include ‘activation’, they had better make the process transparent. I don’t want it getting in my way.

    As far as the profiles I was able to create, I saw no issues. The profiles are very good (but not excellent.) I can live with that as I didn’t expect that at this price point I would get perfection. I now have highly accurate inkjet printer to print my billing invoices ;-)

    This package might be great for someone that does ALL printing with a locally connected inkjet, but otherwise doesn’t live up to the promise of its marketing material.

    By the way, when I called Xrite on the phone to mention the above deficiencies, the tech support guy actually agreed with me, but didn’t bother to offer me a refund for the product. I guess to his credit, he did say he would bring up these issues with the marketing department. Now I get to wait and see if Xrite marketing has a change of heart and decides to unshackle this otherwise good device.

    5 Stars Five Star (except)
    Don’t know what the negitive reviews are about. Just opened the box an hour ago and have both monitor and printer profiled. Was very easy, just follow the on-screen instructions. You do however have to have a good working knowledge of you printer and the application you are printing from. You must turn off the printers Color Management and be able to select the printer profile saved after running Colormunki in the application you are printing from.

    The “exception” in the title of this review is that as so many others, I feel the license only being good for 3 computers is a concern, I like others burn through computers in about six-months. No indication from x-lite if there is an alternitive to buying a new unit and software after the three downloads.

    To sum-up ColorMunki Photo works as advertised if you do your homework (like checking printer compatibility before you buy) and have the knowledge to use advanced settings for you haedware and printers.

    1 Star Much Promise, But A Very Poor Payoff
    I’m using Vista Ultimate, have lots of ram, an Epson 3800 and have experienced many “issues” with my Color Munki Photo. The problems started the first day I plugged it in over three months ago. The unit has been replaced by the manufacturer without avail. There are serious conflicts with Vista color correction (Microsoft has culpability here too), but it’s advertised to work with Vista OS yet I’ve yet to get good color corrections.

    Support by X-Rite swings between helpful through downright condescending. I previously used a Spyder with few problems. I’m no color expert but I do understand the basics of color workflow. The feeling that I get from support is that the problems are all external to the Color Munki. I was told that my monitor was too bright (it’s a medium bright, 325 cd/m2, wide gamut LCD monitor), Microsoft, Adobe etc. Most offensive of all, X-Rite keeps trying to cross sell me on training!!! Why would I give them one additional cent?

    This product simply IS NOT READY for prime time. I’m sorry that I didn’t return it when the support specialist told me that my problem would be fixed in a software release. Not to blame support entirely, the saying goes something like… “the fish stinks from the head”… obviously, the marketing people here got WAY ahead of engineering with the Color Munki.

    2 Stars Do Your Homework First!
    I’ve had the ColorMunki for a couple months now. I really hate to write bad reviews on what seems to potentially be a great product, so I’ve waited until I cooled down some. But this product has a variety of problematic issues and is not for the color management novice.

    I bought it based on reviews I had read about it which were mostly very good. If, when you install the software and create a monitor profile and if it installs without problems, and if you can figure out how to locate and set up the new profile as your default profile, and if you can figure out that you will need to change all the manual settings on your monitor, and if you know what to do when your monitor finally looks great but your printed photos look worse than ever…then you may be pleased.

    However, from start to finish (if you can actually finish, which I haven’t been able to do yet), I had one problem after another. It took me two days to get it to work on my laptop (Vista Premium) and another two days to get it to work on my desktop (XP). I will follow up later with examples of how poorly written the instructions are. The entire “manual” for installing the software and calibrating monitors, printers and projectors is not much more than 3-5 sentences for each type of hardware. Important steps are left out. The elementary school student drawings in the paper manual and online video tutorial, don’t always match up with the instructions. The instructions should not be followed in the order that they are written, but you need to figure out how to move forwards and backwards from page to page to figure out what you are really supposed to do in what sequence.

    Their website is one of the most amateurish designed sites you have ever seen and trying to find trouble-shooting help information is a long tedious process and you get answers like “if you get error code you may need third party software”. That’s it! It doesn’t tell you why you get the error, what the error code means, or what kind of 3rd party software you need. You are on you own!

    You can’t even use this $500 device unless they have your phone number. You have to be connected to the internet to connect to their website to get them your phone number but the registration form you have to complete first wouldn’t work on Windows IE. Before you can access their website for installation you have to select “ACTIVATE” but that button won’t function until you REGISTER and that keeps freezing. I had to uninstall the software multiple times just to get to their website and register there before getting the software to come up onscreen.

    Also, you are limited to 3 “unique” devices. So, if it doesn’t work well on one of your devices, too bad, you only have two activations left.

    If, the software doesn’t install correctly, or if the calibrator freezes up, you are told the problem may be that you need to change your Vista Premium settings and change them to Vista Basic. Then you are told you need to change your computer settings in different places from their high performance to lower performance settings. After doing all these changes you find out that they had nothing to do with why the installation wasn’t working and you have to try and remember all the changes you made so you can go back and restore them.

    I emailed them for help (they even make locating their email support address almost impossible to find on their website). I got a response the next day (that’s pretty good) but their response seemed to be answering a different question than I had asked.

    I replied back to their email and directly cited where their manual and their tutorial images did not match up and asked what I should do about one of the frequent error messages that prevent the color management calibration from completing. I haven’t heard from them since, that was two months ago.

    Fortunately, I know a professional color management consultant who helped me get my monitor profiled. The result is really nice, it never looked so good. But, even he couldn’t figure out how to get my Epson RX680 printer to color match what I see on my monitor. (I use Photoshop). Although the color improvement in both my laptop and my desktop monitors looks very good, I have them sitting beside each other and the same image looks different on each one. So far, the two computers and the printer, all look nice but none of the different units match each other’s colors.

    You should find their website, xrite.com, take a look at their “manual” and their trouble shooting “faqs” and especially their “video tutorials” and have a good laugh before you shell out so much money. Make sure that whoever you buy this unit from will take it back if you don’t like it!

    I’ll try calling them and see if I get any meaningful help and will update this review later. I hope I’ll have better news to share.

    Logitech’s G9 laser mouse is possibly the best mouse I’ve ever had to date. It’s extremely accurate, which is a must for both headshots and for the graphics work that I do. The buttons are all nice and clicky and very responsive, and overall the mouse appears to be well- constructed. Read on if you’d like to know more.

    The on-the-fly DPI adjuster comes in pretty handy, though you might just find a sensitivity level you like and stick to it. The mousewheel is another interesting feature, as you can shift it between normal mode for games and applications that make use of each individual ‘click’ of the wheel, and flywheel mode for scrolling rapidly. The button for ’shifting’ as it were is located on the base of the mouse, so its a little awkward to get to, but it keeps it from shifting on accident at the very least.

    The weight system is a little dubious in its usefulness in my opinion, but I like my devices to be weighty so I made it as heavy as a could. There is some difference in handling between a heavy and a light mouse, however, so you might want to play with it. The weights themselves come in a cool aluminum box.

    The swappable grips are another cool feature. One is larger and wider with a soft, smooth finish that’s designed to fit a little better in your palm. The other is more narrow and shallow, with a rough finish that’s easy to hold in a sort of “claw” grip. Personally I prefer the latter type, as my long fingers have always made it easier to hold a mouse with that claw grip. As a bonus, the rough texture also helps to keep my hand from sweating. Regardless of the grip you use, switching between them is incredibly easy and tool-less, so you can spend all the time you want testing them out. Keep in mind that both grips are designed to facilitate accurate, swift hand movements, and aren’t designed to be as ergonomically comfortable as, say, the MX revolution.

    5 Stars NICE PROUDUCT!

    4 Stars Has the best wheel I’ve used.
    Finally logitech gets it right with their mouse wheel. The old logitech mice wheels were usually *ok*, but after a while would lose their accuracy and misunderstand when you were scrolling or not scrolling.

    The new G9 though has the best wheel I’ve seen on a mouse. It has two modes of operation, which you can toggle on/off by a physical switch on the bottom side of the mouse. What makes this mouse great is both the quality of the wheel, as well as the fact that you can toggle between “clicked” scrolling and smooth scrolling. For gaming I always switch to clicked scrolling, for precise weapon changing; but then when I’m working or programming, I switch to smooth scrolling. With the smooth scrolling the wheel will continue to spin until you stop it or it runs out of energy. This makes scrolling through long documents really easy (and less noisy).

    All in all, definitely a solid mouse, and is very useful for both gaming and non-gaming. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 due to the somewhat high price.
