Customer Ratings & Reviews

Originally I wasn't sold on the concept of a handheld but my friends all have the Steam Deck so I figured my time had come to get one too. I have a lot of MSI parts in my gaming pc so I decided to go with the Claw. Overall it feels pretty good. The joysticks and triggers feel solid and can hold up to my gorilla hands and the ergonomics of the grips are perfect for me. Pretty convenient device since now when we're traveling around now we can all play games together. Since it comes with Windows installed I can also do everything else I normally do on a pc or laptop too. 1TB was plenty of storage for me and games look surprisingly good on the screen (I was worried since I normally game on a 32" 2k monitor).

I ordered mine on new egg, and received it on March 11th. Today is March 24th. As of today they haven’t addressed any of the following, and I have returned the claw. My privacy settings would randomly get reset to share with MSI. The factory button combinations for opening the keyboard and task manager would randomly be swapped for ingame button macros. The keyboard rarely comes up shen it should, and games crashed a lot, so this was an issue for me. I benchmaked the claw, steam deck oled, legion go, and ally. The claw was about on par with the steam deck. The legion go, and ally ran much better. Some games I couldn’t run at all on the claw because of driver incompatability or not enough vram. Physically, the screen is nice, the joysticks are nice, the top buttons are awful, the speakers vibrate the whole device, and the fancy ventillation on the back is mostly fake. There are only 2 silver dollar sized vents in the back that are actually open for air to pass through. The rest of the “venting” has a back panel blocking it off.

Too Expensive! Worst performing handheld at that price range!

Got this product for about a month now. The design is really sharp on the exterior and I don’t feel dizzy or sore in eyes after spending a few hours on the device.

I am so hyped for this handheld, I am always looking out for new things to try. I now have my eyes in the MSI Claw
