You have to bend and route the bundled wires in a way that they neither cover the hole for the screw in the bottom shell, nor the according plastic nut in the upper shell. It’s also the reason why most of the G9x/G9 suffer from a shorted cable sooner or later.

Be aware that this repair requires advanced manual skill due to the somewhat unfortunate cabling inside the mouse and the not very maintenance-friendly attachment of the flex flat cable.This allows me to only emphasize those points that deserve special attention:

Unsurprisingly, there’s already a nice and informative YouTube video showing how to disassemble a Logitech Laser Mouse G9x, replace the cable and even how to repair a shorted cable (thanks to MrLiquidArrogance for the video – otherwise, I would have had to upload a video myself): I decided to order a replacement cable including mouse feet at LittleWStore through Aliexpress for roughly 15 USD including shipping (it arrived within 2 weeks, earlier than the 4 to 5 weeks I expected to wait). One thus has to find a dealer that still has some G9/G9x mice on stock (and accept a high “connoisseur’s” price, these mice usually sell for around 250 USD – mind fakes!) or go with a not quite equivalent, but similar Alienware TactX mouse (which is based on the G9/G9x and produced by Logitech). Alternatively, one can try soldering and fixing the shorted cable or order a spare cable from China, which are both better options than throwing away an otherwise still working mouse. Unfortunately, Logitech doesn’t produce the G9/G9x model anymore – though they probably could have easily fixed this weakness in the next revision and even improved some other aspects, like reducing the mouse’s weight.

It’s also well-known however, that the G9/G9x is one of the best and most wanted fingertip grip mice apart from its cabling weakness (and if you use a mouse for 14+ hours daily or if you’re a pro gamer, you won’t ever want to use any other grip (video)).

This is a well-known problem with these mice – I had a Laser Mouse G9 before and it suffered from the same problem, and the forums are full of similar reports. I have large hands so I have a hybrid grip.Recently, my beloved Logitech Laser Mouse G9x showed signs of a broken, i.e. You simply adapt to the claw grip in a few day/weeks and then that is that. The M60 is my daily-use mouse and the spawn is my on-the-go mouse. The Corsair M60 was the other mouse I was looking at to replace my G9X before I settled on the CM Spawn. I was surprised how much more accurate it feels compared to the G9X since I thought the G9X was about as good as it could get and never had any issues with it when it was working. It's really accurate and has a few different firmware versions depending on how you like your LOD. I'd definitely recommend the Spawn to anyone who finds its shape bearable though. It's all down to your hand size and how you hold your mouse when it comes to finding the perfect mouse shape for your needs. I have a claw grip and medium sized hands so it's pretty comfortable for me. It actually surprised me how small it actually was even though I had read it was small before I got it.
