Towards the end of 2016 we saw a lot of ‘all-singing, all-dancing' mice, packed with features and multiple RGB lighting zones. However, such a design is not for everyone – which is where the Fnatic Gear Clutch G1 comes in. The Clutch G1 is designed to be a simple mouse that ‘just works', offering top performance first-and-foremost. With its price of £59.99 it looks to offer reasonable value as well.
Given the Clutch G1 is designed by Fnatic Gear, the peripheral brand behind the popular eSports team, we would expect a good design suitable for professional gamers. With the Clutch G1 utilising the PMW 3310 optical sensor as well, things look good on paper so let's dive right into the review.
