Surface and Materials

The top of the mouse features a smooth, matte black coating without any rubberization. This part feels identical to the top surface of the M65 RGB Elite. It tends to collect fingerprints quite well, but is also rather grippy if your hands aren't overly dry or sweaty. The scroll scroll wheel has a textured rubber finish, while both CPI buttons are glossy.


As for the sides, their two main gripping areas feature rubberized panels with a rectangular texture. They feel absolutely fantastic and pretty much eliminate chances of losing your grip or accidentally having the mouse slip out of your hands with even great swipes and while lifting it up. The side buttons are made out of slightly grainy plastic, just like the parts on the sides that don't have the textured rubberization.

Build Quality

Build quality is once again fantastic. Corsair really takes this aspect very seriously. I found no issues to report on here as everything is aligned well and nothing rattles or creaks. The mouse feels very sturdy and well made overall—it feels like it really is made to last.

Weight

The Ironclaw RGB is not lightweight. At about 107 grams with a bit of cable, it can be considered rather heavy. However, with such a huge shell, it doesn't really feel that heavy at all during use. I would still prefer it to be slightly lighter as heavier mice tend to strain your wrists more in the long run.
