    I’d been wanting to swap out my current gaming mouse for a different grip, one that was more focused on FPS and MMO. I wanted to keep it within the ecosystem of software that I’ve already got installed, as I’ve got ICue already for my case fans, I decided to check out what was available from Corsair. That’s when I stumbled across the Ironclaw Wireless SE Gaming Mouse and decided to give it a try. Pros: - Comfortable Palm Grip for MOBA, FPS, and MMO. - Good weight in hand & Smooth surface motion. - 10 Programable buttons. - Works with iCue software. Cons: - None. Out of the Box: Right away I could tell I would really like the Ironclaw mouse, the way it just fit into your hand really impressed me. The mouse is on the heavier side than the average wireless mouse at 130 grams, but the weight is evenly distributed across the mouse which makes it very comfortable in hand. One of the often-overlooked features I look for in a mouse is being plug-and-play, Corsair doesn’t disappoint ensuring the Ironclaw has the capability. I find it very important for a wireless gaming mouse if you’re going to use it with a gaming laptop or on the go, as being able to connect via Bluetooth without needing any extra software running in the background does make a difference when playing on battery power. You do have to install iCUE to customize the mouse settings, but I consider it worth it at least once to setup the mouse. Software: I’ve used Corsair iCUE for many years now, mainly for fans and lighting but also for other accessories controls like mice and keyboards. The current version of iCUE is a massive improvement over prior versions, with a very standard approach to all devices and running stable. As I already had the iCUE installed for my case fans, I didn’t need to install another software, but I did need to update it to get the newest drivers for the Ironclaw. Once updated, the Ironclaw displayed on the home page with my other devices. iCUE allows you to modify the lighting effects, key assignments for the 10 programable keys, the DPI, and the surface calibration of the Ironclaw. One of the first adjustments I always make on a new mouse is to update the DPI settings, adjusting to my preferred levels. The Ironclaw has 4 DPI settings, including a Sniper setting for lower DPI for those critical long distant shots. The mouse has 3 onboard profiles you can configure and switch between on the fly, allowing you to adjust the lighting, key assignments, and DPI. Feel & Use: As mentioned, right away I noticed the Ironclaws palm grip was very comfortable and provided great mouse control, especially with the side grips. This was great for those quick snap shots and close combat encounters, providing enough grip to quickly move the mouse without losing control. I had to adjust my DPI a bit, but once I settled in on the right DPI I was able to get the right movement down with the mouse weight and grips to move quickly but not over correct my movements. The only consideration that needs to be had is to regularly clean the grips as the grooves are deep enough to collect gunk over time. My only concern at first was the choice for material on the top shell with the left & right buttons, as the plastic felt a bit cheap and too smooth, like the kind of plastic that get slick after gaming for a bit. But after using the Ironclaw for the last few days, I was happy to find that was an unfounded concern. I had no issues with grip on the clicks nor did I find the shell to have any performance issues. Usually when I hear 10-programable buttons on a mouse, I think back to those old Corsair Mouses that had 12 buttons all on the one side of the mouse, and the impracticality of pressing anyone of the buttons at the right time. The Ironclaw on the other hand has each button in an easy to find and practical placement, where one finger is not going to be doing all the work. I mostly like the 2 extra buttons at the bottom of the left click as they’re right inline with where my finger rests, which works perfectly for remapping common buttons to. Connectivity & Battery Life: The Wireless Slipstream dongle worked perfectly on my desktop, with zero noticeable latency even while playing competitive FPS games. I was able to just as easily connect the mouse to my laptop using the Bluetooth, without any noticeable issues either. A USB-C to USB-A cable is included for charging the mouse but can also be used to wire the mouse directly. This allows for zero down time if you forget to charge the mouse when the battery is low. I’ve only had to charge the mouse once so far, with continuous use over about 4 days with the battery still at high status. I did disable to Lighting, as that greatly extends the battery life of the mouse according to Corsairs results from 54hrs on Wireless 2.4GHz with lighting on to 285hrs without lighting. You can get up to 532 hrs via Bluetooth without lighting, but I will primarily use this mouse with the wireless dongle for the best performance while gaming. Conclusion: If you’re looking for a gaming mouse that excels at FPS, MMO, and MOBA games while feeling great in the palm of your hand, the Corsair Ironclaw wireless SE gaming mouse is a great consideration. The 10-programable buttons and DPI up to 26K allow for customization to fit your gaming style. I’ll be gripping the Ironclaw daily for the foreseeable future and will be recommending it.

    Corsair Ironclaw multipurpose mouse

    The Corsair Ironclaw Wireless SE is Corsair’s answer for gamers and creators who want a large, ergonomic mouse with strong wireless performance and plenty of customization. I usually lean toward simpler mice for everyday use, but as my digital content workload keeps growing — especially in DaVinci Resolve — I needed something with more programmable buttons and a shape that supports long editing sessions. The Ironclaw SE definitely checks those boxes. This is a big mouse, if you have smaller hands, the size and height might feel like a handful (get it ?) at first, but for me it actually fits surprisingly well. I like how they managed to pack the same number of programable buttons and stayed within the boundaries of a standard mouse shape. Setup was straightforward, the mouse paired immediately over Bluetooth, but to really unlock the custom button assignments and DPI tuning the iCUE software needs to be installed. Once installed, the software opened up all the expected options, DPI settings, RGB tweaks - though iCUE is definitely more “gamer‑centric” than creator‑centric. Still, it got the job done. Now, onto the hardware. The Ironclaw SE feels like a hybrid between a classic ergonomic mouse and a lightweight FPS mouse. The textured side grips are comfortable without being that rubberized, lint‑collecting material I can’t stand. The main clicks are crisp, the scroll wheel is solid, and the side buttons are large enough to hit reliably without accidental presses. I assigned my usual DaVinci Resolve shortcuts — Ctrl‑B for blade cuts and Ripple Delete — to two of the side buttons, and the responsiveness has been excellent. The high‑resolution sensor and smooth glide make timeline navigation feel quick. Battery life is rated around 50 hours depending on lighting and connection mode. Charging is via USB‑C, which is always appreciated. You also get three connectivity options: 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB‑C. I stuck with Bluetooth to avoid dongles eating up ports, but the 2.4GHz mode is definitely the better choice for gaming or low‑latency work. One thing I appreciate is that Corsair didn’t go overboard with gimmicks. No weird haptic thumb buttons or experimental features — just a straightforward, powerful mouse with enough customization to matter. Overall, the Ironclaw Wireless SE is a quality build and feels solid good and not designed radically and stays true to a standard mouse form factor. It’s not as creator‑focused as Logitech’s MX line, but for gaming‑plus‑editing workflows, it’s a very capable tool. >>> Pros >> Large, comfortable standard mouse shape (great for bigger hands) >> Multiple connectivity options (Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, wired USB‑C) >> Responsive sensor and crisp buttons >> Plenty of programmable buttons for editing or gaming >> USB‑C charging >> Solid build quality without sticky rubberized surfaces <<< Cons << Size may be overwhelming for smaller hands << iCUE software can only configure mouse settings with a wired or 2.4ghz wireless connection.

    Ideal mouse for us large handed gamers

    The Corsair Ironclaw Wireless SE Gaming mouse is an excellent choice for a gaming mouse. Especially if you happen to have larger hands like myself. This mouse has a larger footprint than your typical mouse, and weighs in at 131 grams. It's not too heavy and it easily slides across my mousepad/mat. The shape is very ergonomic for those of us with large hands. It's very easy to maneuver with the textured side grips, and pressing any of the 10 programable buttons is easy to do without contorting you hand in order to do so. You have three ways to connect the Ironclaw SE to your PC, 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and of course wired. A very flexible USB-A to USB-C cable is included to connect the mouse when it needs charging, or you just prefer to have a wired connection. And of course a SLIPSTREAM wireless dongle is also included. The pooling rate for the wireless receiver is 1000 Hz USB and 2000 Hz in SLIPSTREAM The very precise 26K DPI CORSAIR MARKSMAN sensor gives you excellent control over movement, and three preset DPI settings to be able to shift on the fly. You also get three onboard profiles to chose from, so you could actually get up to 9 DPI presets if you wanted or needed them. Battery life is fantastic, with up to 285 hours with the RGB lighting off. I always have it on, and I have had to only charge it once since I got it, and that is after removing it from the box and going straight to gaming without charging it first. Then there is the iCUE software that you can download that is an eco system for all of Corsairs gaming devices. Here you can make adjustments to DPI, customize RGB lighting, change polling rates, and also change button assignments.

    Highly Customizable with Excellent Battery Life

    While it has a large arching design profile, you’ll find that it’s comfortable and easy to reach the many extra buttons strategically placed. Design, Ergonomics, and Buttons Corsair has a consistent design which I’ve grown to love. The mouse is made of plastic that doesn’t feel cheap or fragile. It’s sturdy and giving the mouse a squeeze offers up little flex. The buttons have a nice tactile feedback. There is also stippling on the sides to offer up some additional grip. What was odd is that the stippling on the left is smoother and more comfortable while the right side is a bit more aggressive and noticeable. Not sure why they decided to do two different types of grip but I’m more of a fan of the smoother style where the thumb rests. It wouldn’t be corsair without some RGB lighting. The sails on the palm rest of the mouse is customizable and is diffused very nicely through the plastic. You can also find on the front of the mouse RGB in what is designed to look like vent fins on the front (their not, but designed to look like), but it adds some flair and a bit more color customization to the mouse. This mouse has a few extra buttons, but some of the more important ones. The thumb buttons are easy enough to get to, most would refer to these at the forward and back buttons, which are the first two to likely get remapped for gaming. There is a third button centered and above these two which can be best pressed using the first “pad” of your index finger. For me, these were quickly remapped in Battlefield 6 to use my gadgets. Any chance to keep my fingers on the movement buttons is going to be an advantage for me. If you like to be able to switch your sensitivity or DPI settings on the fly, depending on if you’re running around close range or trying to line up a sniper shot across the map, you can do that as well with the two buttons just to the left of the left click button. Obviously these can be remapped as well, but I’ve been leaving mine as I frequently swap classes based upon what will be more strategic and having a sensitive response to movement is very important in close quarters, you might want something more precise and steady when aiming across the map. Finally, you can swap between 3 different profiles, using the two buttons just below the scroll wheel. There are 3 status indicator lights on the left hand side to let you know what you have selected (also used for DPI setting). You may have different button mappings for different games or applications. If you include the scroll wheel but not the profile or left and right mouse buttons, this leaves you with 6 customizable buttons you can switch between, which means you could potentially map those 6 across 3 profiles, giving you 18 different commands you could cycle between. Wild. Software – iCUE Peripheral software, you either love it or you hate it, and I have done both for almost all that have existed for the last 10-15 years. However, iCUE I believe has a more refined product than most, with a focus on deep integration with RGB lighting, system monitoring, as well as compatibility with other lighting companies to create a whole room theme. They also offer a lot of device customization which is where the Iron Claw comes in. Each button, with the exception of the left click, can be customized to perform a multitude of tasks. You can remap the buttons to imitate a keystroke, a keystroke combination (think opening Xbox Gamebar or Steam overlay), a series of keystrokes, text, media control, or disable it altogether if you don’t need it. What is also neat is how you can have these customizations take over when you’re connected to a PC running iCUE or you can save these profiles to the mouse and you can keep these customizations when running on a PC without iCUE. Just keep in mind that you may have to connect the mouse to your PC with the included cable (along with the dongle) the first time you use it just so iCUE can properly detect the wireless adapter and mouse pairing. Connectivity and Other Thoughts I love that this comes with both a USB and Bluetooth connectivity. The long battery life benefits come from the 2.4ghz USB adapter without backlighting, touting up to 285 hours of uptime, just under 12 days. Also, if you use across multiple devices, just being able to swap from one to another using Bluetooth is handy as well. Getting it back into Bluetooth pairing mode after you’ve paired once isn’t very obvious, I had to look it up, but hold the profile up button when powering on the mouse into Bluetooth mode gets it done, however, there is plenty of room on the bottom for a dedicated button. I do wish the dongle was a flush type C instead of the typical Type A nubbin. The cable is a Type A to Type C as well, but I can appreciate how nicely built corsair’s included cables are with their products, I have many of them and they’re still holding up well. I didn’t talk much about how well it glides across the surface, sensor responsiveness, or how you can calibrate the sensor for the surface you’re using. It wasn’t standout for me compared to other modern gaming mice I’ve used and I didn’t notice a discernable difference after calibrating to my mouse pad. However, a more trained eye or pro gamer might be able to tell these differences. This will probably become my go to mouse for gaming, and since I game on a laptop, it becomes my travel mouse. While it’s a little bit large for travel, the versatility and customization is hard to ignore and having such awesome battery life keeps me playing longer without having to charge every other day.

    I have been using the Corsair Ironclaw Wireless SE gaming mouse for about a week now, and I have to say I like it a lot so far. Setup was extremely easy. It was basically plug and play. The mouse connects quickly and automatically using the wireless dongle, and Bluetooth pairing only took a few simple clicks. This mouse is clearly designed for people with larger hands, which works out perfectly for me. It did take a few minutes to get used to the button layout, but the learning curve was very small. I would say it took about five minutes before everything felt natural, and the buttons are positioned exactly where you would expect them to be. One of the features I really enjoy is the ability to create multiple profiles. I set up two out of the three available profiles, one for gaming and another for work or general computer use. Switching DPI on the fly is also incredibly convenient. I use a large monitor, so being able to move across the screen quickly is important. When I need more precision in smaller areas, I can instantly slow the DPI down. The sensor accuracy is excellent. With the Corsair iCUE app, you can even calibrate the mouse to your specific desk surface or mouse pad. It scans the surface and optimizes tracking for that exact area. I have never owned a mouse that could do that before, and it is a really impressive feature. Speaking of the iCUE app, I highly recommend using it with this mouse. It unlocks a ton of additional options including firmware updates, custom RGB lighting, DPI tuning, profile management, surface calibration, and full button assignment customization. As far as gaming mice go, this one checks a lot of boxes. It offers far more features than a standard mouse, has great RGB lighting, and has been extremely reliable for me so far with no noticeable lag. The price feels appropriate for what you get. Overall, I am very happy with this mouse and plan to use it as my daily driver for both gaming and work. My kids also think it is the coolest mouse ever, so I will give it a few extra points for that.

    Disclaimer-I’m no professional player(I’m great on controller) or am I a dedicated mouse and keyboard master, but I am trying to get better at using a mouse and not only a controller. Although I do switch between the 2, I like to get better. So this is a review from someone who is just “ok” with the keyboard and mouse. But I have to say I think this would be a great choice for anyone just starting out and who has larger hands. This mouse fits my hand like a glove hence the naming ironclaw(I believe). It doesn’t cause wrist fatigue whatsoever. Buttons are very tight and easy to press plus they are positioned almost perfectly imo. 10 programmable buttons are plenty for any gamer both new or pros. You do have to download the Corsair software to do so but it seems to work well and I didn’t have any issues either programming buttons or changing the RGB lighting. Also updating the usb receiver and mouse is easy but you must have the mouse connected with the very nice cable that comes included. You can play via usb, Bluetooth or wired. I use wireless. Battery life is great. I charged it up fully once I got it and battery is still on green after 5 whole days. It might actually last the rate 200+ hours lol. Amazing if you really think about it. Weight is perfect and sliding and lifting feels good and natural. This has a very good In House sensor with a high dpi of 26k. Super accurate and fast. No issues with lag or any kind of drop outs that I noticed. I think this will help me to get more comfortable with kb&m In time. Also the price is actually very reasonable for what you get. Corsair makes quality products so I know this will last me years. Only thing I can say that I wish was better was the RGB. I wish it was brighter and was a bit more flashy. But that’s just how I like it. Happy with the overall quality and performance.

    I have used several gaming mice but this is the first one that my medium sized hand struggled to adapt to. The ergonomic feel of the mouse is fine and the overall build quality is great. But to make use of the extra buttons forces me to move my index finger which causes me to lose control of the primary top button. This is fine if you are using the buttons for non-action functions but in the midst of a battle it becomes a losing option. If you have large hands you may be able to activate the new buttons without issue but I struggled with it whether I used a palm or claw grip on the mouse. This is a good mouse but its definitely meant for people with large hands and flexible index fingers. Pros: - Ergonomic fit for large hands - Very responsive - 10 Configurable buttons - Mouse material is easy to grip - Bluetooth, wireless and wired connectivity - Long battery life - Configurable RGB lighting Cons: - No storage for the wireless dongle - The extra buttons are not easily reached and take time to adjust to The IronClaw has all the top specs for being a responsive gaming mouse. The buttons have good actuation feedback when pressed and they aren’t overly noisy. The issue I have with this mouse is the placement of the extra buttons. On my Corsair M65 all the buttons are easy to access and trigger. However, on the IronClaw there are three buttons that sit above the forward/back buttons but they are below the index finger area so they are too far to reach with my thumb and force me to remove my index finger from the main button to access them. So even though these buttons can be configured for any function/macro via Corsair’s iCue software I found that I could only use them for non-intense actions. When playing Planet Crafter I assigned them the inventory and crafting functions and I was happy. When playing War Thunder I assigned them fire control and repair modes and needless to say I was not successful trying to find these buttons under fire! With time I am sure I would adapt to these buttons but I don’t find them intuitive. If you use the mouse more as a palm grip vs a claw grip then the buttons are slightly easier to reach but they still aren’t in an ideal location for my hand. The mouse sits tall and feels heavier than most gaming mice but I find the extra heft also allows you to be more accurate when playing FPS games. The textured sides are great for gripping but the thumb rest is bare minimum. Using Corsair’s iCue software you can configure profiles and macros as well as the RGB lighting.

    Over the last several years, Corsair has become one of the top-tier PC gaming accessory companies. They're known for their high-quality products, ranging from headphones to keyboards. I've had a few of their mice over the years. I've had their lower-tier, mid-tier, and most expensive models, and I've been impressed by each in one facet or another. In today’s PC gaming world, the selection of mice is virtually endless. Sometimes it's difficult to differentiate the good from the not-so-good. After spending a week with Corsair's Ironclaw SE, it's been a comfortable mouse that is one of the most comfortable I've used in recent years. Corsair's build quality has always been great for me, and this one hasn't disappointed. Comfort is one of the most important aspects of a gaming mouse. If it doesn't feel right, it doesn't matter how it performs, right? When using the Ironclaw, it feels like it forms to my hand's size, rather than my hand cramping to fit the mouse's size. While some gaming mice sport a sleek design, the Ironclaw has a more tank-like look. It's larger than my previous Skimitar Elite Corsair mouse, which was awesome, with more programmable buttons than the Ironclaw, but again, comfort-wise, the Ironclaw beats it. The Ironclaw has 10 programmable buttons, specifically tailored to your gaming needs, rather than the 16 the Skimitar has. For me, 10 is more than enough, since I rarely use all of them. Setting up the mouse was a breeze. All I had to do was plug in the wireless adapter, turn on the mouse, and I was ready to dive into my gaming sessions. I chose to connect it via 2.4 GHz instead of Bluetooth. It took a couple of attempts, but that was mainly because I needed to update my iCue software first. Once I did that, the program recognized the mouse right away, allowing me to adjust the color hue to match my Corsair keyboard. While I'm not a huge fan of the iCue program. It often disconnects my keyboard from the software; at least it never interrupts the connection with my PC, which is a relief. The accuracy and smoothness of the mouse work great for me. For $89, I wouldn't call it a top-tier mouse. At least it's not in that market, but for the price, it's an incredible value given the comfort and build quality. Of course, comfort is subjective, so hopefully you'll get a chance to try it and compare it to other mice to see if it's comfortable for you.

    Comfortable, Hi DPI Wireless Gaming Mouse

    Corsair has added to their line of mice with the Ironclaw Wireless SE gaming mouse. It feels comfortable and, with the 3 lighting zones, looks good. Comfort The feel of the mouse while using it is nice. The main buttons are comfortable as is the scroll wheel. The scroll wheel is smooth, but I also get just a little feedback while scrolling. There is a button behind the scroll wheel, but for me, isn’t easy to use while gaming. It’s set back just a little bit too much. The two buttons next to the main left mouse button are easy to access by feel while gaming. The two buttons on the left closest to my thumb are also easy to access by feel. There is a third button for near those two that seems to me to be placed just a little too much to the right as I have to shift my hand/fingers a little to press the button with my thumb. The curvature of the palm rest/back of the mouse fits my had just right so no complaints there. Movement of the mouse is smooth with no resistance. Software Corsair has made the ICUE software for use with many of their products including the Ironclaw. It was easy to use and setup the mouse the way I wanted it to be. Color profiles, button assignments, DPI settings, etc. are available through the ICUE software. It was quick for me to get up and running. In ICUE is also where I can upgrade the firmware for the Ironclaw. Corsair has made it very straight forward. In ICUE there is a dashboard where I can see data for the CPU, GPU, RAM, fans, etc. There are a lot of sensors the app supports. I really like the dashboard and how it gives me one place to see all of that data. I can also add the sensors to the Home Screen in ICUE. Corsair put some thought into ICUE and it shows. This is a customizable wireless mouse with multiple options for connecting it to systems. It comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable and an RF USB-A module. To switch between modes is easy by way of the switch on the bottom of the mouse. If you are someone looking for a good, comfortable, high DPI gaming mouse, then consider the Ironclaw Wireless SE. Corsair has done a good job with the mouse and the ICUE software.

    Tons of buttons, odd shape, solid mouse

    Gamers now have a million mice to choose from. Every company has a wide range of mice designed just for YOU. After spending some time with Corsair's Ironclaw, I can't deny it's a solid mouse. Would it be my personal choice? My answer might be different than yours. Setup for this mouse was relatively easy. Connect the wireless adapter, cut the mouse on, you're good to go. Tweaking the mouse? That requires iCue. Luckily I already have iCue installed, no prob. I checked for updates a million times, iCue did not recognize the Ironclaw. I tried pairing it with the adapter (which, iCue did recognize) even though I felt I didn't need to since the mouse was already working...all that did is disconnect the mouse from the adapter. When I reconnected the mouse following the instructions on the screen, iCue STILL didn't recognize the mouse. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal, the mouse works, the mouse works...however, this mouse has 10 buttons, if you can't program them, what's the point? I "repaired" the iCue installation, then BAM! It recognized the mouse. I've had mice with lots of buttons before...but never have the buttons seemed so pronounced. Corsair's website states this mouse is for people with larger hands, and I can definitely feel it. While I have no problem accessing any necessary part of the Ironclaw, I definitely feel like I'm using my whole hand using this mouse. While some mice give fighter jet vibes, this mouse feels more like a tank. The front grill and the scroll wheel remind me of the Christopher Nolan Batmobile. Cool looking design, but is handling it as easy as some of my other mice? No. That's not to say it's difficult, but it just doesn't feel as comfortable as others. The optical sensor on the Ironclaw has a lower DPI then some of my other mice...can I feel the difference? No. Overall I feel just as accurate with the Ironclaw as any other mouse I have. Do I feel as comfortable? I feel that's more of a personal thing. Ultimately, I feel amongst the top tier mice, that's what it comes down to, and the Corsair Ironclaw Wireless SE gaming mouse is of that ilk. While it may not be my personal favorite, I can definitely see it being a top mouse to others, so I'd recommend giving it a shot.

    Highly versatile mouse best for large hands!

    This mouse is an excellent companion to my Corsair K100 Air keyboard and, to me, complements gamers with a variety of use cases, from casual gaming to perhaps entry-level Twitch streamers seeking more programmable buttons at hand to enable more functionality and control. The fact that this has so many programmable buttons in this form factor is nothing to sneeze at. I particularly like the two programmable buttons directly to the left of the left click mouse button. This is perfect for a frequent Discord user like me to map my mute and deafen functions too. The mouse is built well and has a tasteful amount of RGB lighting without feeling like you are holding a rainbow vomit generator. As I said in the title of my review, this is definitely a large mouse that will likely suit folks with, no surprise, larger hands best. I am an average-sized male with medium-sized hands, and this mouse is just at the extreme of what I would consider comfortable for my mouse preferences. As you can see in one of my pictures, I have the Corsair Ironclaw next to a Razer Basilisk wireless, and the size difference is notable. Also, this mouse is for right-handed folks and is not built ambidextrously. The wireless connection with the mouse is seamless. I do not perceive any latency or input lag while gaming. Whether it is frantic, frenetic FPS games like Doom Eternal, or easier-going third-person games like Arc Raiders, this mouse has performed very well for me. I think for the price and customizability with the buttons, you cannot go wrong here. If you are a right-handed gamer with large hands, you should definitely consider picking this up for use!

    Wildly Comfortable for Gaming

    I’m still on the search for the perfect gaming mouse and the Ironclaw came close, but there were a few issues that held it back. COMFORT: The Ironclaw is wildly comfortable. For context, I wear a medium/large glove. This mouse fits my hand perfectly. I typically play for around 2 hours and this mouse caused almost no fatigue. My only recommendation - get some kind of wrist support if you have longer gaming sessions. While the mouse fits like a glove, it does have some height. Your wrist may get angry due to the angle you’re using the Ironclaw. BUILD QUALITY: Average. The Ironclaw feels right for the price point but it’s not the most premium feeling mouse. It feels solid but I think Corsair could have tossed in a bit more effort. WEIGHT: It’s heavy. The Ironclaw could stand to lose a few ounces. I don’t mind but if you’re looking for a lightweight mouse, you might want to explore other options. SOFTWARE: I am not a fan of the iCue software needed to make adjustments. I found the software to be clunky and difficult to setup. I had a tough time getting the mouse to sync with the wireless fob - this took longer than it should have. Pro tip: connect the mouse to your PC with the fob installed and update the firmware for both at the same time. The software won’t recognize the mouse on the firmware it ships with. BUTTONS: Look, I’m not a seasoned vet but I’m also not a novice. For the life of me, I could not assign the two buttons found on top next to the left clicker. Maybe I missed something or the software could use an update, but those inputs have been useless for me. SUMMARY: This is a great mouse for the price point and it is feature rich without going overboard. The ability to customize the 3 profiles and swap between them on the fly is a life saver at times but Corsair needs to polish their software. Especially when the default profiles being pretty slow out of the box. For me, comfort trumps all and the Ironclaw delivers.

    Hits the sweet spot for a gaming mouse

    The Corsair Ironclaw Wireless SE gaming mouse is an excellent gaming and everyday mouse. It is well made (like all the Corsair gaming products I've used) and is logically designed. A gaming mouse is really in may ways the most important gaming item you will buy. If the mouse doesn't sit just right in your hand or feels to light, to heavy or just all around uncomfortable then it will affect your game play. Everything with the Ironclaw just feels right. It balances nicely. The buttons are easy & comfortable to reach. It feels rugged enough to last a long time (trust me, I can wear a mouse out quickly if it's not rugged) and it has good battery life (claimed to be 285 hours on 2.4GHz with out lights). Connectivity is the biggest area where some gaming mice fall short. An unstable or laggy connection will make it useless. Not the case here. It can be used with 2.4GHz or Bluetooth (wired as well, of course). I've tried the 2.4GHz and it worked great but for my needs the Bluetooth is the way to go and it works just as well. Again, no lag or dropping out. You can easily spend way more for a great gaming mouse. But for the average user that's not realistic. The Corsair Ironclaw is a great fit for the vast majority of gamers.

    Comfortable Mouse with Solid Performance

    I have had a decent experience with my CORSAIR IRONCLAW WIRELESS SE over the last couple of weeks. I have mostly used the mouse for gaming and general computer use. The shape of the mouse jumped out to me as being one of the first traits that I noticed on the CORSAIR IRONCLAW WIRELESS SE. This mouse was designed for large-size hands and palm grip, so it fits my hand better than many of the other mice I have previously used. The textured sides of the mouse help maintain stability during longer gaming sessions, though it did take a couple of days to get used to the size of the mouse. As for the wireless performance of the mouse, I have had the mouse connected via the 2.4GHz channel, and I have not experienced any noticeable lag or connection loss. The switch from wireless to Bluetooth is easy to do if you happen to switch between your devices while using. The battery life was surprising to me, and I have not needed to charge it after several days of continuing to use it. I find that the sensor accurately tracks my movements during gameplay. I primarily play for fun, and the mouse feels precise and smooth for fps games and strategy games. The programmable buttons are useful as well, but setting everything up in the iCUE software took a little time before I could figure it out. One thing to note about the CORSAIR IRONCLAW WIRELESS SE is that it is a little heavier than other mice; however, as I stated earlier, the build quality is excellent. Overall, the CORSAIR IRONCLAW WIRELESS SE is a great mouse for everyday use and has been very comfortable to use, has great battery life and has consistently performed well when using it.

    This mouse is very slick! The style of it very ergonomic and it feels great under my palms. The general build quality of it is very premium and even its packaging is premium without wasting unnecessary resources on it. My favorite part about is the amount of buttons that you're given. You have a lot of extra buttons that you can just customize and use to your liking. You will have to go on the Corsair app to fully customize them all, but it's endless. You can even change your dpi on the fly if you want to. Yes, it has full RGB so you can change the color how you want it! The general weight of the mouse is actually pretty heavy so if you're into a lightweight mouse , this might be too heavy for you. The speed of the mouse is really fast and responsive. I've not experienced any ghosting or latency issues with this mouse . This is a revamp of the old mouse of the same name, and this is definitely a good upgrade from that bringing it to modern standards. If you were a fan of that old mouse and design, this is a good upgrade.

    Versatile gaming mouse

    One of the things that stand out on this mouse for me is its ergonomic design. It has nice resting spots for your index and middle finger to rest on the mouse buttons, and side grip for your thumb, all of which have a slight concave shape so it feels like the mouse is cradling your fingers. My thumb is able to reach the 3 side buttons without having to move my hand around on the mouse much. The two buttons to the left of the left click require me to lift my hand off the mouse a little bit to comfortably reach them, so personally I would've like them a little more forward on the mouse. Then there are two buttons that sit behind the scroll wheel, which naturally you'll have to lift your hand off the mouse to reach. But these are default to changing the mouse profile (3 programmable profiles), so obviously not intended to be used in the heat of gaming. The mouse has textured grips on the right side of the mouse where your ring and pinky finger may rest, and on the thumb rest area. They initially feel aggressive, but if you get a sweaty palm like I do, they are actually kind of nice for keeping a firm grip on the mouse. All of the buttons are fully programmable through iCUE software. I had to reinstall iCUE before it recognized both the dongle and mouse. But once it's there you can do full programming and save the profiles to the mouse (so iCUE doesn't specifically need to be running to take advantage of the programmed buttons). You can also control the lights on the mouse, of which include the Corsair logo on the palm rest, LEDs that surround the scroll wheel, and LEDs on the front that kind of shine down on the desk. The LEDs on the left are for status (profile, pairing, battery, etc...). Honestly, none of them are terribly bright, but that's fine. The mouse can be used in bluetooth, dongle (2.4ghz), or wired modes. Using the dongle will let you get the full features of the mouse. But unfortunately, the mouse doesn't include anywhere to stow the dongle in case you plan on travelling with the mouse. But I guess you've always got BT as backup (or wired). But I'll always wish wireless mice came with a spot to stow their dongle. Performance of the mouse is great... it can be bit finnicky on unusual surfaces, but iCUE does include an option to calibrate it for different surfaces. I just chose to make sure I use it on a mousepad. Overall, it's a quite nice mouse and I am happy with it.

    The Corsair Ironclaw Wireless SE Gaming Mouse surprised me quite a bit. I've never been a huge fan of Corsair items but this mouse really hit's a homerun for me. It fits my handsize just perfect. It glides on my mat effortlessly too. I hit a small snag during the setup process, maybe this is just something everyone else will just pick up on but I'll mention it. During the setup with the iCue software it tells you to plug in the 2.4ghz recceiver and turn on the mouse but nothing was syncing up. I finally decided to try and plug in the included USB-C charging cable and magically everything synced up. Nowhere in the setup process was it stated to do this, opinion would have been nice and saved me some time. Configuration in the software was super easy to set up RGB sync with my keyboard, configure DPI settings and assign keys to the mouse buttons. I recorded a custom text macro and it worked great. One of my favorite things about this mouse is the placement of all the extra mouse buttons in relation to how my hand sits on the mouse. I feel like everything is in a very reachable spot and doesn't feel like I'm over reaching to hit things ever. I've always been a logitech guy, but keep making products like this Corsair and you will win me over. Would recommend especially at the price point, new favorite gaming mouse.

    This mouse is an awesome mouse that offers tons of features, and customizability that you can do to make it fit your preferences and feel. First, I have to say I love that Corsair provided the ability to select the Slipstream wireless, Bluetooth or USB so you have multiple connection options. The second thing is with Corsair iCue and the ability to customize profiles that are easily accessed with a button on the mouse so you can adapt the mouse to your gameplay on the fly. I previously had a Corsair MMO gaming mouse and I have to say that I like the feel of this one better. I don't particularly care for a ton of buttons, and this one has just enough in the right places for my preference. Like the previous one you can really dial it in by calibrating it to the surface its on, and yes that does make a difference. Friends who come over and use my machine almost always comment on how sensitive the mouse is and it just moves where you want. For battery life, even with the RGB I've been able to get more than a solid week of using it out of it. So I'd say the advertised 50 hours is about what you get but it may go much longer depending on your settings and how much RGB stays on. Unlike the prior gen mice I do think so far the RGB doesn't seem to drain it as fast so I think it strikes a good balance of a little flare that doesn't keep you tethered to the USB port. For the feel, it has just the right amount of weight and glides over a Corsair mousepad with ease. I like this refreshed version not only because it's wireless but the buttons and features have improved. If you're due for an upgrade, I would definitely check this one out, it has everything that I want and it's a great addition to my rig.
