Custom Printing Process Allows Gamers to Personalize Grip with
Image of Their Choice
FREMONT, Calif., Dec 05, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
The Logitech(R)
G9 Laser Mouse has always offered gamers the ability to tune their
mouse for the way they play - including features such as weight tuning,
interchangeable grips and custom-color LEDs. Now, Logitech (SIX:LOGN)
(NASDAQ:LOGI) lets you make the G9 mouse even more personal with the
introduction of the Logitech(R)
G9 Laser Mouse ID Grip. With the ID Grip, you can have the image of
your choice printed on the palm area of the grip. You can choose among
game-specific artwork, a selection from a gallery of designs created by
Logitech, or an image you provide.
"In surveying gamers who own a Logitech mouse, we learned that more than
65 percent want to mod their hardware," said Rory Dooley, Logitech
senior vice president and general manager of the Control Devices
business unit. "The Logitech G9 Laser Mouse ID Grip provides gamers with
a new level of personalization. Whether it's a guild logo or a personal
photo, we're delighted to give gamers the ability to make the G9 mouse
even more a reflection of their unique personality."
To provide a durable image that won't fade even after intense gaming,
the rub- and fade-proof image is applied with a specially designed
custom printing process that infuses it into the surface of the grip.
The result is a high-quality, high-resolution color image. And adding an
image to the grip is easy. You can choose from game-specific artwork,
such as Command & Conquer(TM) Red Alert(TM) 3 from Electronic Arts Inc., or
upload a personal image of your own. (Certain restrictions apply;
uploads subject to technical and image-content requirements.)
In addition to helping you further personalize your G9 mouse, Logitech's
grip presents a new shape. Providing exceptional palm and wrist support,
the broad-shaped grip is designed for extended gameplay, and can make
even those gamers with large hands feel comfortable. In addition, a
soft-touch side grip offers a comfortable texture that feels good during
short gaming sessions and epic battles. Easy to snap on to the G9 Laser
Mouse, the ID Grip can be attached or detached with the push of a button.
