    I have the TactX headset and I really like it. The mouse is good too.

    I will tell you one really good thing to know on it.

    If you keep the cable bundled up (since its 6 feet long) the outer casing will start to come off the wire and make it look really really bad.

    I trimmed my cable down to 20 inches since I never have the mouse more than a foot away from the laptop... unless I am watching a movie on the tv, then I just use a windows remote anyways.

    yes I agree very nice mouse and bundling the cable to stop the braid seperating is a good tip

    The mouse is a rebranded Logitech G9 (not a G9X).

    The Logitech G9 has a slightly different sensor than the G9X (Avago 6090 vs 9500).
