Buttons, Scroll Wheel

Buttons on the Fnatic Clutch 2 are extremely similar to those on the Flick 2, which is no wonder as they use exactly the same switches, and I'm pretty sure the same PCB as well. However, there are minor differences in click-feel. Both main buttons are slightly lighter than the Flick's. They could use some extra tactility, but are still decent and very much spammable. As mentioned before, both have some noise when you lightly tap them. This can easily be DIY-fixed with some electrical tape if you're not afraid of some slight modding. They have very minor pre and some post travel. The switches used here are Omron D2FC-F-K models that are rated for 50 million clicks.


The scroll wheel looks and feels exactly the same as on the Flick 2. It's quite mushy, not tactile, and has a lot of resistance. Once again, scrolling feels the same as on the Zowie EC series mice. The encoder used is a black core TTC model that is 11 mm tall.


All remaining buttons share the same switch model; one has a branding I do not recognize and a higher actuation force than the main buttons. The middle mouse button is, as such, a lot stiffer than the main buttons. It has no unnecessary travel.


The two side buttons feel better than on the Flick 2; these seem to be a tad lighter, but are still mushy and have a ton of post travel.


Lastly, the CPI button, which is located beneath the scroll wheel, is quite deeply sunk into the panel, which means it might be a bit hard to reach. At least there is no chance of accidentally pressing it while scrolling, for instance. Its click feel is on par with the scroll wheel; quite stiff and with very little travel.

I also made a video in order to demonstrate how the buttons sound:

Mouse Feet

The Clutch 2 glides smoothly on two huge mouse feet. These have moderately high friction, and there are unfortunately no extra feet in the package, so once these wear out, you have to get some aftermarket replacements.

Cable

The cable on the Clutch 2 is pretty good even though it could afford to be more flexible. It's light and fairly thin and has a smooth outer coating. It doesn't generate a lot of drag on the mouse pad and should fit into most mouse bungees with ease. It is 1.8 meters long, and there's a convenient rubber clip that helps you regulate its length.

Disassembling

Disassembling the Clutch 2 is rather easy; all you need to do is remove the two screws beneath the bottom mouse feet before taking the bottom plate off the top shell. I had to use a big, flat head screwdriver because the two parts are really well attached with plastic clips inside. You shouldn't really disassemble this mouse a lot as these clips will wear out quickly and might break.
