Corsair has just introduced the new Ironclaw RGB gaming mouse. The name is an odd ane for the palm-grip mouse, just its large size may just convert some large-handed hook grip gamers over to a palm grip, and its loftier-performance specs and decent price arrive that much more appealing.

Toll and Availability

The Corsair Ironclaw RGB costs $59 (about £45, AU$85) and though we don't take exact international pricing yet, information technology launches globally today. The price is fair, but that does put information technology in directly competition with the best gaming mice like the $59 (£59, AU$99) Steelseries Sensei 310 and Rival 310, as well as the company's ain wireless Nighttime Cadre RGB SE at its discounted toll.

While the Corsair Ironclaw RGB is a good offer, fifty-fifty calculation in static DPI indicators and a braided cablevision where Steelseries lacks them, its blueprint holds information technology dorsum just a little. That said, for anyone with large hands, it's an easy winner.

Blueprint

The Ironclaw RGB uses a curious combination of materials. The palm and principal mouse buttons are a matte black, soft-bear on plastic that feels pleasent, but tin get a little greasy (not as bad equally we've seen from other soft-touch materials though.) Then in that location are difficult black plastics on either side of the soft-affect department, and those are further bordered past the side grips that give off a reflective shimmer.

The DPI and Profile buttons are fabricated of a sleeky black plastic, the thumb buttons utilise the plain black plastic, and the coil wheel has its own prophylactic texture distinct from that used on the side grips. The design is all over the identify. The front even has a vertical grille for a race car aesthetic that the residuum of the mouse doesn't share.

The lighting is underwhelming for RGB fans. The Corsair logo on the palm isn't much to look at, especially when our hand covers it right up. And, the RGB of the middle mouse button is barely visible in well-lit environments. No dazzling light show from the Profile and DPI indicators either.

Aside from the curious looks, the build itself stands out positively. The body is fairly wide, making it a comfortable pick for large easily. And, at 105g, it has decent heft, though it lacks customizable weights.

One diamond-textured grip extends for almost the full length of our thumb, assuasive us to get a good purchase on it. The correct side also has a nice section of the aforementioned material, giving both palm and claw grips plenty of traction for a secure hold.

The Ironclaw RGB has a braided cable with a lightly reinforced mouse end that feels sturdy. Altogether, the build of this mouse feels incredibly strong, with no hollow clack when moving information technology around. And, with Omron switches rated for fifty 1000000 clicks, the buttons should hold upwards a long fourth dimension every bit well.

Performance

The Ironclaw RGB is targeting serious gamers with some serious specs. It offers a sensitivity range from 100 to 18,000 DPI, and is adaptable in 1-step increments. Who needs that high of sensitivity or that granular adjustability? Nosotros don't know, but it's not hurting the mouse in any way and the price isn't blown upwards because of it.

With a 1,000Hz polling rate, the Ironclaw RGB is unsurprisingly responsive. Running games on a 144Hz monitor, we don't discover whatever input lag or other tracking faults.

We're fans of the big sweeping arm movements for in-game control, and the Ironclaw RGB's tolerances for accelerations up to 50G and speeds up to 400 inches-per-second (IPS) put information technology on par with the all-time mice. We never run across it failing to go on up with our movements when swinging around corners or snapping onto targets.

Corsair includes a surface calibration tool in the iCue customization software (which, it's worth noting, can be a bit confusing to utilise), only we're not sure it fabricated much difference. We calibrated to one surface, and continued to use the mouse on other surfaces, but nosotros didn't notice any problems with accuracy.

The push button experience is more often than not positive, but not so perfect.

Despite not having physically split up mouse buttons, clicking feels surprisingly consequent no matter where your fingers will probable remainder. We have no trouble clicking in a quick double tap to hopefully put down an enemy in Insurgency: Sandstorm.

The side buttons rest comfortably out of the way when flicking around, simply are easily attainable past rolling our thumb up. They also offer enough resistance that they don't accidentally trigger when picking upwards the mouse.

The only real result is the heavy middle mouse button. It takes noticeably more pressure to push downwards than the left and right click. The same light tap that tin actuate the left and correct mouse buttons won't do it for the middle mouse button. In a situation where a quick melee attack may be necessary, the heavy middle click tin slow things downward.

Final verdict

The Corsair Ironclaw RGB puts a lot on offer for such an affordable mouse. It's tracking is impressive and doesn't fall short of its closest competitors. The construction is solid, and feels both house and secure in the hand. Bated from some curious design choices and a middle mouse button that takes a little actress pressure level to utilize, we discover lilliputian in the Ironclaw RGB to mutter nigh.

Anyone looking for a high-performance gaming mouse should have no qualms nigh picking this one, particularly if they have big easily and a tendency to be rough with their mouse.
