Playing the weighting game. It's almost as if Corsair is trying to satisfy my own personal requirement, as while I'm a fan of the aforementioned Ironclaw - so much so that it now serves as my daily driver - I did describe the 130g weight as "rather hefty." Nightsword RGB should snuff out any such complaints as it is large, feature-packed and weight adjustable between 199g and 141g. It also happens to be priced identically to the Ironclaw RGB Wireless at £70, so has it done enough to convince me to swap over?

Well, not quite, as while there's plenty the Nightsword RGB gets right, it also has a few minor niggles that keep me returning to my faithful Ironclaw. There's a superficial drawback, firstly, in that I'm not entirely in love with the way the Nightsword looks. The initial appeal of the sci-fi-like design soon wears off, and though the mesh-covered RGB segments are nicely done, the overall aesthetic is a bit too busy for my personal tastes. Then again, I drive a Honda, and you can't expect me to have a mouse that's flashier than my car.
