MSI Clutch GM51 Lightweight Wireless Mouse Review

MSI may not have the largest range of peripherals, but it’s certainly been growing and evolving in recent years. The MSI Clutch series of mice have been with us for a few years now, and as you might expect, with each new model it just keeps getting better and better. The new Clutch GM51 launches today, and as you might expect, it promises to be even better than the GM41! Equipped with a new lightweight body, improved hardware, and a new overall design, it certainly looks pretty great on paper, but today I get to actually play around with it!

MSI Clutch GM51

Previous Clutch mice have been pretty great, but compared to this one? Well, let’s just say that the GM51 is exceptionally well-equipped. It comes with the latest PixArt PAW-3395 Optical Sensor, which can deliver an impressive 26000 DPI at 650 IPS with 50G acceleration, which should hold up to even the most frantic of eSports activities. This is backed up by the 60M rated Omron switches, PTFE feet, an 85-gram design, and three connectivity modes; MSI SwiftSpeed 2.4G, Bluetooth and Wired. It also comes with its own special charging dock so that it’s always ready to go.
