Our Verdict

MSI CLUTCH GM20 ELITE

MSI CLUTCH GM41 LIGHTWEIGHT WIRELESS

THE MSI CLUTCH GM41 LIGHTWEIGHT WIRELESS is an impressive ultra-lightweight wireless gaming mouse with an ambidextrous shape, while the MSI CLUTCH GM20 ELITE is a good wired gaming mouse with a right-handed shape. The GM41 is much lighter and has mouse feet that glide more smoothly. It also has a much wider CPI range, a lower lift-off distance, and lower click latency. You can also set multiple profiles using the software, while you can only set one custom profile with the GM20. On the other hand, the GM20 feels sturdier and has a thumb rest. It also has a more flexible cable and a dedicated CPI button behind the scroll wheel.
