Our Verdict

MSI CLUTCH GM41 LIGHTWEIGHT WIRELESS

SteelSeries Prime Wireless

THE MSI CLUTCH GM41 LIGHTWEIGHT WIRELESS and the SteelSeries Prime Wireless are comparable wireless gaming mice, but the MSI has an ambidextrous shape, while the SteelSeries has a right-handed shape. The MSI is marginally lighter and has a higher maximum CPI range, a lower minimum lift-off distance, and a lower click latency. On the other hand, the SteelSeries feels sturdier and has a much more flexible cable with a USB-C connector, while the MSI cable has an older Micro-USB connector. The SteelSeries also has customization software compatible with Windows and macOS, while the MSI software is only compatible with Windows.
