Our Verdict

GLORIOUS Model D

MSI CLUTCH GM30

The GLORIOUS Model D is a better wired gaming mouse than the MSI CLUTCH GM30. The GLORIOUS is much lighter and has a more flexible cable. It has mouse feet that glide more smoothly, a much higher maximum CPI, and significantly lower click latency. The GLORIOUS also has a right-handed shape and is suitable for all grip types but isn't very well-suited for small hands. On the other hand, the MSI feels sturdier and has a lower minimum CPI. It also has a right-handed shape and is well-suited for a palm and claw grip for all hand sizes, but a fingertip grip only for larger hands.
