Our Verdict
HyperX Pulsefire Raid
MSI CLUTCH GM30
The HyperX Pulsefire Raid and the MSI CLUTCH GM30 are wired gaming mice with comparable performance. The HyperX has a higher maximum CPI, a more precisely adjustable CPI, and a lower lift-off distance. It also has five additional programmable buttons. On the other hand, the MSI has lower click latency. The HyperX is a right-handed mouse, while the MSI is an ambidextrous mouse. Both mice are well-suited to all grip types and most hand sizes.
