Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE Gaming Mouse For MOBA, MMO - 18,000 DPI - 17 Progammable Buttons - iCUE Compatible - Black

I loved my Logitech MMO mouse deeply. I've burned through two of them through the past 18 years playing World of Warcraft and everyday computing. However, Logitech discontinued manufacturing the mouse a while ago, and finding one that isn't used is very hard to find. I finally had to look for something comparable from another manufacturer. There are very few manufacturers that make a side-button MMO mouse nowadays.The first one I tried was from Red Dragon. While good, it gave me hand fatigue. I still have it, it's a good mouse, but I decided to keep looking.I picked up the Corsair's Scimitar because of the good reviews it had received here on Amazon. I can honestly say that reviews are accurate, the good and the meh. Mostly, this is an excellent mouse and I highly recommend it. It fits my hand better and the clicks feel so good.The software looks sharp, but it's dorky to use. I am not a fan. Yet, I managed to stumble through and make it work. If there's a roadblock to successfully using the Scimitar mouse, it's the software. I don't like it. It's not intuitive.The mouse itself is excellent. The adjustable sliding side buttons help to find the sweet spot for my thumb to be happy clicking away without fatigue. The click feels GREAT. I honestly fell in love when I made my first clicks. I can't explain it but it feels great! Buttery yet snappy is the best way I can describe it. After several weeks of raiding with the Scimitar, I can honestly say I love this mouse. No regrets.I'm thrilled to have found a great replacement for my old Logitech MMO mouse. The Scimitar by Corsair is fantastic to play with. It's snappy and responsive. I have no problems to report other than the cool-looking but non-intuitive software needed to re-program the buttons.

High customization, decent grip, and got it on sale so I got a decent price on it. While I didn’t take away a star from the rating, but it might be worth mentioning that it’s a little smaller than I was expecting. I don’t necessarily have giant man hands or long fingers but there’s a bit of an overhang with my fingers, which can sometimes make it uncomfortable. Maybe less so uncomfortable but more annoying.

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

The mouse feels solid, and the thumb buttons arent hard to position. My main gripe is that the software is a pain to setup. Rebinding the buttons is not as simple as Logitech's G600 mouse's software which let you type in or press they key you want to use. Requires multiple steps to rebind a single button. Overall though, the weight is ok and the scroll wheel is mediocre. For the price its fine, but i would have been happier if they had added removable weights that you can add or remove at this price point. If i had to rank mice, i would go Logitech G600 > Scimitar > Any Naga (cause they self destruct after 6 months and their software is bloated)
