The MSI Clutch GM30 prioritizes comfort with a design that caters to the palms and fingers. Its reliable sensor has room to grow specs-wise but is aided by a gamer-friendly button layout. However, MSI really needs to fix the companion app.

The MSI CLUTCH GM30 is a good FPS gaming mouse, but it has high click latency, and the unit we tested has an inconsistent sensor that undershoots the set CPI somewhat during faster cursor movements. It's also on the heavier side, and some gamers may prefer a lighter option. Nevertheless, it feels well-built and has a comfortable, ambidextrous shape well-suited for all grip types and most hand sizes. However, it's likely too long for small and medium-sized hands using a fingertip grip and not long enough for extra-large hands using a palm grip. You can adjust the CPI by increments of 100 within a reasonably wide range, and the lift-off distance is low, though not as low as on some gaming mice.
