Corsair Ironclaw RGB vs Roccat Burst Pro Air: which one fits your build
Buy the Corsair Ironclaw RGB for claw grip players wanting a shape built specifically for them and buyers who want a flagship sensor at a wired-only price, though it is not built for palm grip players who want a fuller shell and anyone who wants a wireless connection. The Roccat Burst Pro Air is the one to take for ambidextrous claw and fingertip grip users and fans of honeycomb/vented mouse shells, though it is not the pick for palm grip users wanting an ergonomic shape and competitive players wanting 8000Hz+ polling. Our rating of the Corsair Ironclaw RGB (8/10): A strong wired pick specifically for claw grip players who want a flagship sensor without paying for wireless. Our rating of the Roccat Burst Pro Air (8/10): A solid honeycomb wireless option, best chosen alongside the Kone Pro Air based purely on preferred grip shape.
