Corsair IronClaw RGB Mouse Wireless
Victory in your hands?

The IronClaw is back, the versatile and now wireless mouse that has been named like a villain from a James Bond movie. Btw here are some other name thoughts for Corsair, Goldfinger, GoldenEye, Elektra King, Xenia Onatopp, Honey Ryder, Plenty O'Toole and sure why not, Octopussy. Back to IronClaw then, it's also one of the mice that Corsair released a while ago that I like very much is now seeing a bit of an upgrade. See, there are two types of people, the ones that want a precise wired mouse as they want to move as fast as the USB connection can go, and then there's another kind who every now and then dislikes that cable. Arguably I am the latter kind of person, in the year 2019 why do we still want wires? Especially with wireless mice as good as Corsair offers them. They are fast and precise and have a long lasting battery. You can argue that I wanted wireless charging for this rodent as well, so yeah, take that hint Corsair, take that hint. Regardless I will happily settle with what we are reviewing today. The Ironclaw is what I consider to be one of the very best mouses that Corsair offers, it's extremely ergonomic, fast, responsive, high- DPI and very configurable. See how I just wrote all that without mentioning RGB? :)

The IronClaw, which I find to be a brilliant name for a mouse, has been fitted with a PixArt custom designed PMW3391 gaming grade optical sensor, and it is rated to rev up at 100 up-to a staggering 18K DPI with 1 DPI increments. Yep, 18,000 dots per inch which is similar to the M65 RGB Elite we also tested. And I know, I know .. these DPI values hardly make sense anymore. But we do have to admit this thing is killing it. To match the new modern theme the mouse was designed from the ground up to be ergonomically pleasing yet attractive to look at. 

Slipstream technology

The biggest change is it now being offered in a wireless solution, you can charge the built-in battery via the included USB cable, which should last you around 40 hours on 2.4 GHz Wifi or 50 hours even on Bluetooth (you get that option with a microswitch residing in the mouse. So for the connection, you can choose between a 2.4 GHz connection with included dongle named Slipstream, or Bluetooth 4.2 LE. We assume you'll use slipstream though, that 2.4 GHz connection. That one should flawlessly up to 20 meters (65 ft) away from your PC, which we tested but I ran out of space after 6 meters, it functions properly though.

   

 

The mouse now has a three-zone RGB color customization that allows for 16.8 million color selection lighting. The unit advances on that though as its cast is made out of durable and very sturdy uni-body smooth ergonomic shell. For each application, there seems to be a mouse you can purchase, and the fact remains that the majority of mice out there are all simply close to each other. Corsair picked up on the mouse trend several years ago, and their latest addition is this one. The Ironclaw is aimed and can be used to aim at gamers, but obviously works as a regular mouse just as well. The mouse itself is a right-handed design. It's a feature-rich mouse alright, as it has no less than seven programmable buttons, all Omron switch based. You can configure the dual zone RGB lighting through Corsair’s unified software, iCUE (download). The mouse also comes with its own memory, allowing you to store the settings or have it seek some cheese for this comfortable super fast mouse.
