Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite Wired MOBA/MMO Gaming Mouse – 18,000 DPI – 17 Programmable Buttons – iCUE Compatible – PC, Mac, PS5, PS4, Xbox – Black

So, I've owned 3 of these over the last 7 years. My first purchase of it was at another retailer in 2017 (when I first got into Final Fantasy XIV and wanted an MMO-style mouse) and my second was also from another retailer in 2020. I use one on my desktop and one for my laptop. My desktop one croaked after 8 years of service, and so I bought another one, from Amazon this time (Prime Day Deals, thank goodness). Pros 1. Good weight. Not too heavy, not too light (for me at least). 2. Lighting is nice without being overbearing. 3. Works with iCue without any issues. 4. I use mine for productivity and work, so I actually do use the profiles on iCue, and being able to swap from gaming to productivity with a button press (with different lights to tell me what profile I'm using) is supremely useful. 5. Scroll wheel feels good. Nice weight, dampened clicks. Feels premium (I've opened it up, it's not, but it feels good). 6. Good clicks and the side buttons are easy for my thumb to reach and hit. 7. The side number pad was very good for intermediate-level MMO play. I ended up doing a funky hotkey setup for endgame that used mostly my keyboard, but the mouse did good for the original purposes I bought it for. Cons 1. It's not easy to clean. The rubber parts get grimy with human hand oils n such, and rubber is just rough to clean anyway, especially with the triangle texture. In any case, for my level of gaming and productivity, these are virtually perfect. When my 8-year old one bit the dust, I immediately bought another and set it up the same way as the one that croaked, and I'll probably keep buying them until Corsair stops making them. There are better mice for specific applications, but this one fits me and what I do no problem.

I play WoW, like most folks looking at this mouse, and wanted to not be handicapped all the time by hitting the number keys on my keyboard. This mouse is THE SOLUTION. It works great, looks good, and the software is intuitive and simple. I had it all up and running in under 15 mins, and I'm 100% not a computer-savvy person at all. I love that it's wired so I don't have to worry about charging. The programmable lights are great and now the red LED glow matches my tower, very cool. The movable 12-key pad is convenient, but for bigger hands (L or XL men's size) you'll be maxing it out and probably could use another 1/2 inch forward, but it's totally serviceable. Glides smooth over my regular trackpad, and the weight and grip seems standard for gaming mouses. No complaints. Admittedly, I bought this and thought I would becoming a PvP arena god overnight... It takes some getting used to. Like playing an instrument, knowing intuitively which key is #7 compared to #3 or #12 takes some practice. But I've been using it 2-3 hours a day over the last week and already I'm 2x as fast and more accurate than when I started. In a month of regular use, anybody could master it. Looking forward to being that arena god one day ;) Lastly! I love that this mouse is designed in Milpitas, California and has software from a reputable company not looking to steal your information. Not pointing any fingers at anyone, but there are some cheaper MMO-mouses on the market that I wouldn't want to install that software on my computer or touch it with a ten-foot-pole... Be MINDFUL of where your products and software are coming from, especially when the difference is just 20 bucks. Just a heads up. Stay safe out there, and see you in Azeroth.

Purchased in June 2022, January 2025 now and it's still going strong. Compared to my wife's mouse whose "G6" broke off of her Logitech G604 after only a week of light use, I'd say that's a pretty good deal. I play WoW and use the mouse buttons for my rotation. What does that mean for non-WoW players? It means I smash these buttons thousands of times per gaming session, and I game every day. It's a great mouse and in hindsight I never expected it to last so long with how I use it. I'm actually only here because my wife now wants one too, so I figured I'd spread the good word. So yeah, excellent build quality, very tough, and if I had to criticize one thing it would just be the iCue software. Sometimes it just deletes itself randomly and that's kinda annoying, but I just keep the installation exe in my download folder and use that to fix it, so it's a quick and easy thing to rectify. I honestly can't recommend any other mouse so if you're here and reading this, Corsair SCIMITAR is the way to go. And no, I'm not being paid for this review but hey, if you're reading this too Corsair, hmu, I wouldn't mind having a backup mouse just in case lol

Its the best moba mouse out there, but its not perfect. I've had two units with faulty scroll wheels (one would free spin, the other would get stuck every rotation), but its a solid mouse either way, just be ready to use that warranty!

More buttons for hotkeys !!!!

Excelente mouse. Al principio pensé que eran innecesarios tantos botones para lo que requiero, pero cambié de opinión. Edito mucho documento de Word y PDF en Google Drive y el Scimitar me hace la vida más fácil; aún no he hecho un perfil para InDesign, pero seguro que también será util. Buena sensación al tacto, materiales de buena calidad, lo único malo es el software que no es muy intuitivo, tardas un poco en familiarizarte con él, pero tampoco es imposible manejarlo.

I was looking for something to replace my 2nd Razer Naga chroma. This is really nice with some good features. A lot of people complain about the software but they clearly havn't had to deal with Razer Synapse 2.0. Synapse sucks, Icue is slightly better. Still not great, but a welcome improvement. The mouse itself is very comfortable and the adjustable buttons are great aswell. The buttons although not as tactile as the naga buttons feel much more solid and require less force to get the input. Which is great because I'm sick and tired of slapping my thumb against my mouse to use an ability. It took a little bit of getting used to, compared to the naga. But once I got used to the feeling of the mouse I like it considerably more. All in all great mouse. Cant speak too much on long term durability since I've only had it now for a few weeks. Update: 2 years later. The mouse is holding up quite well. There are no major blemishes on the surface and I've been using it a lot since I picked it up. I am however, having two issues that are annoying. The first one is the scroll wheel. After about 1 1/2 years the scroll wheel started skipping. Trying to scroll a webpage it would scroll the opposite direction first, before scrolling in the correct direction and sometimes not at all. I will be attempting a fix I've found for that online. The Second issue I've had just started the past week. On occasion when Clicking once, the mouse will register a double click input. As you can imagine, this is super frustrating. From what I've read online this is a switch failure which I've never had an issue with on any other mouse I've purchased. So to wrap up, the Corsair Scimitar was a fantastic mouse, it felt more solid than my previous Naga, however they both only seem to last about 2 years. I really wish someone would make an MMO mouse that you don't have to replace every two years.

Gusto mucho de regalo

I bought this mouse originally to play a few MMO games I got into, that used the numbers to cycle abilities, and it was much more practical to have them on the mouse since it was used as a core control for the games anyway. Having used it for a few months, I really cannot fault it. Everything from the build quality, number pad adjustment, build materials and easy sync with iCUE for the RGB lights was perfect. Being a wired mouse as well was also a big plus for me, since I prefer them over wireless, and the braided cable meant it wasn't going to break anytime soon (which after a few months, I can safely say hasn't). Ergonomically, the mouse fits really nice in the hand. It has a premium weighted feel, is just the right size, and every curve and notch fits flawlessly into your palm. The mouse is also full customisable in button mapping, DPI setting and RGB lights, with total compatibility with Corsair's iCUE program. Finding a fault on this mouse is like finding a needle in a haystack, it really is that good. It became my daily driver for both work and gaming, and unless it falls into severe disrepair, will be with me for many years to come.
