Customer Feedback

Overall I must say I am more than impressed with the Boom, especially for the price. I am already thinking about adding one to the baby’s room so that I have a stereo in there I can remotely control from my Duet/PC to play soothing music while still being able to listen to my tunes when I have to wake up with her.
If you are looking for a small network music player that you can move to the various rooms of the house then the Boom is definitely worth looking into…Now, don’t expect room filling sound in a 50×50 banquet hall, but for bedrooms etc… it is pretty awesome.

Customer Feedback

As far as sound quality goes, it is far better than expected. There is virtually no distortion even at maximum volume. I even plugged a set of Computer Speakers into the Headphone Jack and it didn’t make that much of a difference. The Base levels aren’t that deep, but they are there.
I haven’t tested the Wireless strength extensively yet, but I was able to hook it up in the garage (1 Floor below and 50 feet from the router) and the signal strength was near full.

The G5 is a durable, well designed mouse. I have been using it for over a year now with no problems. It’s very comfortable in the hand and the ability to add or subract weight from it (by adding little weights that fit inside on the bottom) makes it perfect for the gamer. By adding or subtracting weight you can get the feel and the flow that you are looking for. Once you find that “sweet spot” weight, you will really get spoiled by this mouse.
It’s not cordless, but for me that’s a positive thing. I hate having to constantly add new batteries or sit my mouse on its charger. I can sit down and start using it with no problems. The mouse chord is plenty long and it’s not real rigid like a lot of older mouse chords. So your movements are not hampered by the chord.
All in all it’s the best mouse I’ve ever used… and I’ve been using them ever since they’ve existed.

Customer Feedback

The coolest part about the G9X is the on-board memory. The software profile tool is only used to program the mouse! You can save up to 5 profiles, each with a different LED color so you can tell them apart. If you use the mouse on a different computer, it automatically loads the profile without using any software drivers!
Pros: Weight is adjustable, I ended up using only 1-2 4g weights. Side scrolling on the wheel is great, memory settings via profiles is awesome (no drivers are needed), very comfortable to use.
Cons: RH users only, not cordless at this price, very stiff scroll wheel button.
