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

This is more of a "first impressions" review right now, and there's no immediate red flags. I'll update this later once I've put some hours in with it. Off the jump, this mouse feels amazing in my hand. I have pretty big hands, and I'm coming from a Logitech G600 for comparison. The Scimitar is around the same size? It's slightly longer top to bottom, and slightly narrower side to side, but my hand still rests very comfortably on the mouse. It's noticeably lighter than the G600, too, which is great for FPS gaming. There's a screw on the bottom of the mouse with an included allen key to let you adjust the position of the 12-button panel so you can adjust your thumb's reach. Super nice idea, but when you loosen the screw, the panel moves way too loosely, so you have to hold it in your hand firmly while tightening the screw with your probably non-dominant hand. To make matters worse, the included allen key is not quite the right size for the screw, so it skips while you're tightening it back down. (And no, I'm not over-tightening it - it's still able to move very loosely at that point!) That aside, it feels very good in the hand and very responsive. I don't notice any drop outs or latency, and the included USB A to C cable is very high quality. If you care about Linux compatibility, then I'm happy to report no issues thus far. (I have not and will not download the Corsair software to customize the mouse at all, so no comments on that. If you care about that, then try it at your own risk.)

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.

Been using Corsair's 12 button mouse since the launch of WoW classic & really changed up the way ai play for the better. Takes some getting used to at first, but can't imagine going back without it. First one was wired that I had to replace due to the mouse wheel malfunctioning after a time. Looks like Corsair is putting more updated development into their wireless iteration than the wired as I hadn't seen any new models for the wired at the time of purchasing this...so went with the wireless this time albeit more money. Hopefully the scroll wheel lasts this go around. Wireless is preferred for a mouse anyway....and this shows in product development; conversely, theres more development on wired keyboards than there are wireless.

More buttons for hotkeys !!!!

Very good mouse so far. Mine came opened and used though! I called them about it and said they needed an expert and to call another day. I kept the unit because it was not used extensively and couldn’t be without that mouse for days until I got a replacement, so watch out.

It's a good mouse, been using it for a couple months now and my only complaint is when you reboot your pc, it takes a while for the mouse to remember your settings. It is a tad on the heavy side.

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.

Sono passato alla versione nuova di questo mouse dopo aver mandato in pensione la versione con il filo, uguale identica. Sono sempre stato un giocatore di MMO e quindi sono sempre stato abituato ad avere tanti tasti nel mouse, infatti ho deciso di prendere la versione wireless per questo motivo. La batteria dura molto anche se vi consiglio di spegnerlo quando non lo usate, così vi risparmiate un bel po' di batteria. I colori del mouse sono belli e non danno per nulla fastidio nemmeno se impostato a luminosità alta, quindi perfetto per le sessioni di gaming fino a notte tarda (: Lo uso anche per editare i miei contenuti su premiere pro usando i tasti laterali programmati come voglio. Comodo anche se all'inizio poco intuitivo il software, anche se una volta capito come funziona è veramente comodo! Assolutamente soddisfatto!
