MSI Clutch GM31 Lightweight Wireless Gaming Mouse Review

The MSI Clutch series has often proven to be a strong competitor with decent hardware, performance and very reasonable prices. However, it looks like MSI are ready to kick things up a notch, with the most advanced entry in the Clutch mouse series to date, The Clutch GM31 is lighter, faster, and erm, more wireless than ever before. Coming in at just 58 grams, it’s certainly been on a diet and that extra light design should make it pretty nimble when it comes to gaming.

The rest of the hardware is on point too, with the Pixart PWM-3360 optical sensor, delivering up to 12,000 DPI tracking. A set of 60M rated OMRON switches, a set of “gaming grade pure 100% PTFE” which is MSI’s way of over-complicating “PTFE Feet”, 5 programmable buttons, and their latest FriXionFree cable design, which is again a complex way of saying it has a lightweight and durable cable braiding.
