So I want to add a few things and also add my experience to the comments.
Firstly, the mouse is not heavy at all. I have used it daily for over a year and game almost 8 hours daily on weekdays and a bit less on weekends. I guess that its not a "lightweight mouse" by spec, but it is by feel.
This mouse is super durable. I have dropped mine from almost 3 feet off of the right side of my armchair where i game on to solid tiles with cement underneath. The mouse has not received any damage any of the multiple times its been knocked off by my cat or myself. It still functions flawlessly.
The mouse has not gotten grimy. The sides clean up well with a bit of alcohol and a microfiber towel and still feel smooth and tacky for gripping. I could hold this mouse in two fingers for an hour because its so easily gripped and not really that heavy.
Now the only gripes I have with the mouse is this: The 2.4 Ghz USB transmitter is so strong that it actually interferes with my 55 Inch TV wireless connection to where it is not usable. It also slows down the MSI GT77 laptops internet as well. Now having a gaming mouse that interferes with the wireless to your gaming laptop makes no sense to me. I would figure that there would be a way to change the channel on the USB reciever so that you do not have overlapping signals, but I have yet to find a solution to this problem. The USB reciever seems to interfere with all channels on the router which is only a 2.4 Ghz router. When I want to download games on Steam or just through an individual launcher, speeds can be reduced from 15 Mbps to 3 Mbps which is not good when you want to download 90 GB of game files. That being said, I have to take out my USB and put it back from the charging dongle into the mouse and download my game updates while I sleep since there is such bad interference. I also have to do so when I want to watch Netflix or YouTube directly through my TV. All of this can be corrected by moving the charging dongle far from other wireless devices with the thankfully super long cord that came with it, although I would rather keep it close to my laptop.
I have a good wireless card in my MSI GT77 but it seems like when I am using my wireless Corsair K100, the Clutch GM51, and Buetooth headphones or headset, that the latancy with the mouse set to Bluetooth can become too much. Unless the USB reciever can be tweaked or updated to not interfere with the other wireless devices, this sort of leaves a roadblock for anyone who needs to have the USB in the dongle sitting right next to their gaming rig and TV or monitor. If anyone has a solution to this feel free to leave me a reply to my comments.
I would say even with the slight problems of keeping the USB reciever in the charging dongle spaced away from other wireless devices that I have enjoyed this mouse for its simplicity and durability. I rate it much higher than say the ASUS ROG Chakram wth QI charging. I used that mouse and feel that it felt super cheap and gimmicky. I was displeased with the way it felt and handled and much prefer the GM51 for its solid feel while still remaining very lightweight.
I give the GM51 a 9.5 out of 10
