Review: MSI Clutch GM31 Lightweight (and Wireless) mice
This article reviews the MSI Clutch GM31 mouse in a wired and wireless edition. It’s an optical gaming mouse and successor of the GM30. The Clutch GM31 series targets gamers, but it should also work more than fine as a regular mouse. This time, the optical sensor is a 12K DPI PMW-3360 in the wired version and the same DPI in PAW-3311.

Review: AMD Ryzen 9 7900 processor - 01/09/2023 04:00 PM
AMD also released a Ryzen 9 7900; this 65W non-X model offers absolutely beautiful performance and temperatures. Next to the 7700, this actually might become a best seller in the current Ryzen 7000 pr...
Review: AMD Ryzen 7 7700 processor - 01/09/2023 04:00 PM
We check out AMD's new non-X Ryzen 7 7700 series 8-core processor, and it impressed us far more than the original X model. The newer version's performance is superior, and its thermal design power (...
Review: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 processor - 01/09/2023 04:00 PM
AMD has released the non-X version of their Ryzen 7000 series processor. The new update isn't intended for extreme performance but is tagged with a far friendlier 65W TDP. And that means better heat ...
Review: MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Gaming X TRIO - 01/06/2023 02:48 PM
MSI has stepped up to the plate with their Gaming X TRIO GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. It is factory-tweaked (slightly) but looks great. It comes with whisper-quiet cooling, and is quite impressive in all resp...

We test the gorgeous ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC Gaming 12G, and that's quite a mouth full for a product. It has a fantastic appearance and does a good job of cooling down while maintaining...

I don't understand who's idea it is to release a mouse with a 3360 at 73g in weight at $70 this late. People expect a high end custom solution or at least a standard 3390, and way less than 73g unless it's a huge mouse. The Viper Ultimate + dock for Americans is $60 on Amazon right now, and I can easily recommend that for just about anyone.
I missed the worst detail of them all: Chinese Omron 60s. MSI can fuck right off with that. That's not just bad, that's insulting. Chinese Omron 60s are them saying you're literally retarded. For anyone unfamiliar, those are the worst of the worst, and are not made to modern specs/voltage so they fail/die/double click all the time. I had at least 4 Logitech mice with Omron 60s that failed in under 1 year.
They fail so much that in the GPX Superlight they use Chinese Omron 20s instead, yes the ones rated for 1/3rd as many clicks, because those don't die as easily from being the wrong voltage by a crap-ton, they're just moderately wrong. They suck so badly that I desoldered them out of my GPX and installed Kailh 8.0s myself despite how annoying it was.

I got G305 for 30€ a month ago and it's amazing bang for buck.

I bought a gm30 after my last Corsair m65 elite in white failed...2 days later I ordered a new elite...the gm30 was that good(sarcasm), theres a reason why you can get the gm30 for around £30.

In my defense (as I'm the author of a review). I didn't have any experience with the GM30 series. I didn't have longer "life" with Omron 60s. I usually get the samples for the reviews 1, 2, or 4 weeks before the NDA, and it's not a long enough time to check the reliability. So overall - these are impressions "as it is, at the moment," not the long-term check. If we (Hilbert and I) had such reviews, 24 hours a day would be too short to cover all the gear/hardware we receive.

Yeah, a nice mouse and a worthy effort.
I am sure I would be pleased to own one.
But its hard not to overlook the G502 (wired or not) and some retailers do very good deals on them.
