What is the clutch for?
Deliberately shaped like a clutch rather than a traditional button, the easily accessible clutch is designed
not only to actuate and release quickly but also for enhanced comfort when held down; as opposed to
traditional buttons that are intended for quick click-and-release. Push-to-talk, temporary DPI adjustment
and other game actions that require the gamer to hold down the mouse button can now be executed in
greater comfort. The clutch’s default setting is to adjust the DPI to 800 when held down. A rubber cap is
also included for gamers who prefer not to use the clutch. Like other programmable buttons, the clutch
can be customized in Razer Synapse 3.

for activation of bunny hops, weapon selection and more.
