unboxing

Il mouse MSI Clutch GM60 It comes in a particular book box that perhaps reminds you of those nice boxes from the PC versions of Diablo III and Divinity 2: Ego Draconis. On the front the image of the product is accompanied by the Mystic Light logo, the utility to set the RGB to our liking, while on the back are the product specifications.


Opening the two faces of the box on one we find the mouse with a rubber USB cable to connect it to the computer, on the other a second canvas cable that can be inserted using the button under the mouse, plus a spare mask and side flaps to be added to the body to increase grip.

ERGONOMICS, MATERIALS AND USABILITY

The Clutch GC60 is an aesthetically appealing mouse, whose aluminum frame returns a really good feeling as well as making the product very resistant. Its uniqueness is given by its two souls: one more sober and rounded which returns a bare and essential appearance, whose only charms are the many LEDs that illuminate the edges and the logo placed under the wheel in the center, and a second more aggressive look that recalls a Angular Batmobile.


The application of the two side flaps takes place instantly thanks to the magnets present in the mouse that assemble everything in an instant, making the grip more ergonomic thanks to the knurled texture that improves the grip and supports the fingers by not letting them come into contact with the mat. increasing the friction. Personally I have not used these additions for long, preferring the mouse in all its essentiality, but it is a completely personal choice that changes from player to player.

To complete the picture on both sides there are two customizable buttons to be set according to the game we prefer. There symmetrical shape of the Clutch GM60 makes it perfectly usable for both right and left-handed users, a feature not so common in gaming mice of a certain level.
