SureFire Hawk Claw Mouse & Silent Flight Mouse Pad Review

A Closer Look & Performance

This mouse is really cheap, that’s not a bad thing, it’s just literally not very expensive to purchase at all. So with that in mind, I feel it has no business looking as damn fine as it does. This is a great looking mouse, and slap a Corsair or Logitech logo on the back, and you’d never know it wasn’t what it claimed to be.

Down the left side, there’s a nice textured finish, it’s quite glossy though so it’s more tactile and for aesthetic than actually providing grip.

It does look great, and you get really nice ergonomics here, with a fairly classic mouse shape that should feel familiar to just about anyone. Down the left side, there are two navigation buttons, However, they have the strangest feel to them, with a spring loaded action that has quite a long throw with the click in the middle of the actuation, sort of like a Cherry Brown switch. It’s not unpleasant to use, just not as tight and responsive as I was expecting.

The right side of the mouse has more of that glossy texture, and much like the left, there’s a strip between the top and bottom sections, where you’ll find the built-in RGB lighting.

The LMB and RMB are really nicely designed, with some sweeping curves that promote very natural feeling ergonomics and keep your fingers in the sweetspot for clicking. The click is a little heavy, almost stiff even, but not ungainly. I actually have large hands, so a hair trigger switch results in accidental clicks for me (I can’t use most Razer mice for this reason), but this one feels very comfortable to me.

The scroll wheel is nice, with a light action and small tactile bump when turned, allowing for pretty fast scrolling. Plus, there are two additional buttons behind it. Sure, these cycle DPI/Profile as standard, but the mouse is fully programmable should you want to change things up.

On the underside, you’ll find three small slipmats, nothing too crazy really. The mouse has a sturdy weight to it, but he overall smooth base means it glides around cleanly, so no complaints there.

The mouse has built-in RGB, and more of it than I would have thought given the price. It can be customized in the software too, but the default colour cycle is actually pretty pleasing to the eye with smooth transitions.

As for gaming, the mouse is decent enough, I wasn’t expecting the worlds best at this price range and didn’t get it either. I think it’s fair to say it feels like a good gaming mouse from a good few years ago, and I think that’s most likely true. The sensor isn’t overly advanced, but it tracks clean and smooth, and may even be the best piece of hardware included, but obviously, that’s a good thing.

The buttons and ergonomics could be improved, but honestly, they’re comfortable enough. I’ve been playing Apex Legends and Minecraft most of the afternoon, and it’s not really let me down.

It works well in a palm grip, and it feels very comfortable in the hand. Actually, the material choices are excellent, it looks and feels like a more expensive mouse.

It’s not super light, actually, it’s a little heavy at 140 grams, but if you like a heavier mouse, that’s no bad thing, as it allows for smooth curves and transitions. Not everyone wants a super light and twitchy mouse. Plus at W x L x H: 124mm x 68.5mm x 40mm it’s a good size for my larger hands too, but as above, it still glides really well on the Surefire mouse pad.
