![]() ![]() At first glance, it looks as eccentric as Corsair’s mouse design has become over the last few years, yet, each eccentricity has a purpose. ![]() There’s a lot to love about the Corsair Ironclaw. So if you’re looking for something that can double as a productivity mouse on the move and can hook up to your gaming laptop, tablet or even your phone, you can do that too. On top of that, it also bakes in Bluetooth connectivity if the 2.4 GHz wireless via dongle isn’t your thing. But the average gamer will likely be fine plugging in the Ironclaw once or twice a week. Battery life is a nuisance among wireless mice lacking wireless charging, as is the added weight of the battery. Corsair’s Slipstream technology did well to minimize any noticeable latency between the Ironclaw and the PC. On the whole, during my testing I found it to be just like playing with a wired mouse. You then save all of this onto the mouse itself, meaning you can take it with you anywhere and use it on any PC, even if it doesn’t have iCUE installed. You can then create another profile, change the lighting again to give you a good visual cue and adjust two separate CPI profiles for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019, one with a low CPI setting for sniping and another higher CPI setting for general play. You create a profile in iCUE for playing World of Warcraft, you set the RGB LEDs to breathe blue (because “For the Alliance!”) and you then calibrate your three CPI profiles specifically for different roles in the game (perhaps you’re a clicker, I won’t judge). The Ironclaw’s biggest feature is the ability to switch between separate profiles on the fly, much like you would with CPI profiles traditionally. That said, there’s not a huge difference between this sensor and the 3360 outside of max IPS and CPI, and it’s certainly not that much of a noticeable improvement in game for the average gamer, unless you lean heavily into a multi-screen gaming environment. So from a specs front, you’re not really going to be let down. It’s also capable of withstanding up to 50G of acceleration. The 3391 is a custom-tweaked variant of Pixart’s stock PMW3390 and packs some of the highest CPI out there at a maximum of 18,000, and one of the highest inches-per-second ratings at 450 IPS. There’s actually very few mice in Corsair’s product stack that feature the 3391 (the increase in model number denotes higher specced sensors), and these include its more flagship-oriented models, such as the Glaive RGB Pro, M65 RGB Elite and Nightsword RGB. Corsair has three main sensors it relies on for the majority of its mice product lines, all of which are optical, the PMW3391, PMW3367 and PMW3360. ![]() Gaming PerformanceĪs standard, the Ironclaw comes packing the Pixart PMW3391 sensor. My handspan is on the small size, measuring 7.5 inches (191mm) wide and 6.5 inches (165mm) long (from the tip of the middle finger to the bottom of the palm).The Ironclaw feels perfect under a grip with those proportions. We’d go so far as to say it actually supports small-to-medium size hands better than large ones. You can theoretically use it with a claw or fingertip grip, but you’ll be severely limited when it comes to actually reaching the majority of its buttons. We have to stress that this mouse is entirely meant for palm-grip aficionados. Additionally, the three CPI lights that indicate which CPI setting you’re in also support basic static colors however, you can only change the color for all three, not each individual light. For those concerned about RSI (repetitive strain injury), it’s definitely something to consider.Īs for RGB, you’ve got the Corsair logo on the back of the mouse, the inside of the mouse wheel and jutting out front underneath the left and right click. I’ve no doubt this is due to the battery sitting inside of it although, it’s capable of powering wireless play for up to 50 hours on a good day (your mileage will differ depending on use case, lighting and ambient temperature), it does make it somewhat heavy. It’s a heavy thing too, coming in at 0.3 pounds (130g) total. The total length is around 5.5 inches (140mm), with a maximum width of 3 inches (77mm) across from the base. It’s a tall mouse by design, with the top part of it reaching a height of 1.6-inches (40mm) before it slopes off to the rear in a sharp angle, similar in form to the Corsair M65 Pro RGB, but more dramatic. ![]() The shape of it allows your hand to relax directly into the correct position to support that stance. As soon as you place your hand on the Ironclaw you can tell it was designed purely for a right-handed palm grip. ![]()
