INTRODUCTION

   Just like with wireless gaming keyboards due to several past limitations (again mainly when it comes to signal quality and battery life) wireless gaming mice haven't been the primary choice of serious gamers. Again, however just like with gaming keyboards gaming mice have come a long way and so today most of those limitations are a thing of the past. Granted battery life will probably always be an issue (can't beat wired connectivity) but when it comes to signal strength and even performance wireless models have pretty much nothing to fear from wired ones, at least not under normal circumstances (some hardware incompatibilities are always possible). CORSAIR today released the wireless version of their award winning IRONCLAW RGB Gaming Mouse and we're testing it out to see if it delivers where it counts.

   Founded in 1994, CORSAIR has grown from pioneering the high-performance DRAM market into one of the world’s leading providers of high-performance PC peripherals and components. CORSAIR offers a complete range of products to equip gamers, enthusiasts and e-sports athletes, including mechanical keyboards, precision gaming mice, wireless headsets, high-performance components that gamers use to build gaming PCs, and the CORSAIR ONE fully-integrated gaming PC. With a company-wide commitment to quality, innovative design, advanced features and high performance, CORSAIR products have won thousands of media and industry awards, earning their place in gamers’ hands and PCs following years of development and engineering by a team dedicated to building great products they themselves would want to use.

   The custom PMW3391 optical sensor by Pixart became really popular with the original IRONCLAW RGB model so CORSAIR used it both with the GLAIVE RGB PRO which we also finished testing today and with the IRONCLAW RGB WIRELESS model so again we see a maximum native resolution of up to 18.000DPI (dots per inch - adjustable in single DPI increments), maximum speed of 400IPS (inches per second) and 50G's maximum acceleration. In terms of connectivity the new IRONCLAW RGB WIRELESS has it all so it can either be used with a USB cable, Bluetooth or via CORSAIR's very own 2.4GHz SLIPSTREAM wireless technology thanks to a bundled USB dongle. The IRONCLAW RGB Wireless also features a lithium-polymer rechargeable battery pack (up to 16/30 hours with RGB lighting enabled and 24/50 hours with RGB lighting disabled via 2.4GHz SLIPSTREAM/Bluetooth connection) 10 programmable buttons, 3-Zone dynamic RGB backlight system (13 available lighting effects), OMRON switches for the primary buttons (up to 50 million clicks), maximum refresh rate of 1000Hz, 3 DPI presets (4 with the Sniper preset), rubber coated body and can also be calibrated (via CORSAIR's iCUE software) for ultra-accurate and high-speed tracking on any surface. CORSAIR covers their mouse line with a 2-year limited warranty and the of course same goes for the IRONCLAW RGB WIRELESS model.
