INTRODUCTION

   There are currently three different grip styles people use with a mouse the palm grip style (this is by far the most popular style since it's used by both regular users and gamers alike), the claw grip style (this is also my preferred style and follows the palm grip style very close in terms of popularity) and finally the tip grip style (this may be the least popular style but since it also happens to be the fastest one of the three - although not quite as accurate - it's actually used quite a bit by professional esports gamers). Of course the shape and size of a mouse is directly linked to a grip style so not all mice out there can be used with all grip styles. CORSAIR recently released their latest trio of gaming mice aimed towards all three grip styles and after reviewing the M65 RGB Elite and the HARPOON RGB Wireless today we'll be taking a look at the IRONCLAW RGB FPS/MOBA Gaming Mouse.

   Founded in 1994, CORSAIR supplies high-performance products purchased primarily by PC gaming enthusiasts who build their own PCs or buy pre-assembled customized systems. The company's award-winning products include DDR3 and DDR4 memory upgrades, computer cases, PC cooling products, gaming headsets, gaming keyboards, gaming mice, power supply units, USB flash drives, solid-state drives and system monitoring and control devices.

   Due to its rather wide body (lightweight at just 105g) the IRONCLAW RGB Gaming Mouse is aimed towards palm grip users and just like the M65 RGB Elite it's also outfitted with the exclusive (at least for now) PMW3391 optical sensor by Pixart which features a maximum native resolution of up to 18.000DPI (dots per inch - adjustable in single DPI increments), has a maximum refresh rate of 1000Hz and can be calibrated (via CORSAIR's iCUE software) for ultra-accurate and high-speed tracking on any mousepad. The IRONCLAW RGB also has a 2-Zone dynamic RGB backlight system (13 lighting effects), improved OMRON switches for the primary buttons (up to 50 million clicks), 7 programmable buttons, 3 DPI presets (4 with the sniper preset) and a rubber coated clickable scroll wheel.
