MSI has updated its gaming gear roster and launched the Clutch GM60 and Clutch GM70 gaming mice on Wednesday. Each new product boasts of an ergonomic design and comes with two different sets of side grips and an additional top cover for personalised comfort and custom fit. Both mice will be made available globally in July.

The new Clutch GM series mice are optimised for extended hours of gameplay. MSI bundled its latest gear with two different pairs of side grips and a top cover so users can customise them according to their liking. They are also easily interchanged thanks to the Taiwanese electronics company’s magnetic design.

Adding to the GM60 and GM70’s aesthetics and usability are the dragon-scale patterns on the sides that improve grip and mouse control. Of course, a gaming mouse wouldn’t be complete without RGB lighting. Each product’s illuminating spectacle is provided by MSI’s RGB Mystic Light, which likewise allows users to personalise effects and pick out the colours they prefer.

The GM60 can only be used with a cable while the GM70 offers more flexibility with its wired and wireless capabilities. The USB cable comes with a switch at the bottom of the device, which should help avoid any unexpected disconnections.
