Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite, MOBA/MMO Gaming Mouse, Black, Backlit RGB LED, 18000 DPI, Optical

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.

Great product

I've been using this mouse for I don't know how many years. Not the same one mind, I'm on my third. Improvements have been made to the design in that time, including changing the construction of the left and right mouse buttons to prevent the multi-click issue (which is greatly appreciated as I had to fix this myself in my last two models), but it still has some QA flaws, and always has at least one problem when I buy one. This latest model had scroll wheel issues, where the wheel just did whatever it wanted regardless of my input. This was easily fixed by applying a bit of vasaline to the inside of the scroll wheel, but this is something that should really be caught and resolved before being sent out to customers. Otherwise, I'm very happy with this mouse. The buttons feel good, they haven't failed like they always did in my Razer mice and the adjustability is appreciated since I have quite big hands. The price of MMO mice is pretty high, but considering how few the options are I would say this is the best of them, and will last long enough to be worth the asking price. It's also great for productivity!

Really enjoy this mouse but software is annoying

The scroll wheel has a defect, if you are lucky it will work but mine broke after a few days and others have had the same issue.

So I've been using this mouse for three weeks now and developed my opinion. Overall it does its job pretty well but is awkward at times and a nuisance to set up. Considering the price (even reduced to 55 during black Friday) and reputation of Corsair, I expected better. Cons: - The surface on mine is ALREADY wearing after only 3 weeks, see pic. - The settings software iCUE. What a headache. But the interface is entirely unintuitive. Expect to take some time wrestling this to get it to do what you want. Also had a problem where it wasn't loading any profile on startup. They did at least have the foresight to let you load 3 profiles into the mouse hardware so you don't NEED to run iCUE once you get your settings sorted. Also it is almost half a gigabyte when installed. Bloated. - The two buttons on top, by the mousewheel. Maybe just me, but I keep pressing them accidentally. Had to disable the backmost one since it is by default change DPI. - Erganomics - Maybe just a personal issue too. There is nowhere to 'grip' the mouse with your thumb, since the numberpad takes up the whole left side of the mouse, meaning you need a loose grip to move it, worse for aiming games. Pros: - Does what it says on the tin. The actual capability iCUE gives you is nice. Lots of profiles, different settings, change the function of all the buttons. - Build quality. It seems good. This I think is the real question for "is the price worth it". To Readers: I honestly can't recommend this mouse for the price. Will the mouse last a few years? If so, fair enough. If it only lasts a year or two, there is no reason it's better than an off-brand mouse for half the price.

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.

Top, estava entre ele e um Naga, sem duvida corsair é top ! somente o software que poderia ser mais intuitivo, mas depois que pega o jeito é tranquilo

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.
