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

best and only MMO mouse ive used for years now! works great, buttons are easy to use and adjust. works with my computer well. its also easy to take on the go if needed, just unplug and replug. led color lights still work after about a year, buttons still work even after HEAVY use. the only thing is the side finger rest with the texture traps oil and dirt and if you’re not careful, it can be real nasty and must be cleaned out with a brush or whatever can lightly but firmly scrape that gunk out. i’ll put myself on blast and show what a year’s worth of gunk looks like (i forgot to keep up with it and now have a lil project haha)

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

I switched from a g502 Logitech. The g502 mouse was amazing but I seriously disliked ghub software. It would not switch between profiles and dpi would be insane, It was also hard to search through games in the list if you had many installed. I stopped using my Naga years ago because it would double click as did my Razer DeathAdder. Only downside which is inevitable is it is a bulky mouse i'm assuming to accommodate the buttons and harder to lift when swiping. If you have owned a Naga it feels about the same ergonomically. Creating macros and customizing lighting was very easy as well as adding a program to switch profiles. [Tip: to link a profile to the mouse when the program is running. Press (ctrl+shift+esc) to open task manager directly. Then right click the application and go to (open file location) select the path by clicking the path up top right below (file, home, share ,view) something like (This PC > Local Disk (C:) copy that path by clicking to somewhere after the locations text and paste it in iCUE to link location.] Overall a great mouse so far.

I've had this mouse for about 2 years. It was used mostly for World of Warcraft, but I found it useful in a few other games, such as Doom, where you need quick access to several hotkeys. When I first got it, I noticed within the first couple of days my fingers were leaving a glossy spot in the plastic. This didn't happen with my last mouse, so I assume it's an issue with the plastic they used, and I've seen others with this problem as well. The worst issue that came up was the mousewheel not properly registering, sometimes doing double jumps or going the wrong direction. I had to open it up and spray the sensor with some WD-40, which seems to have fixed it. I've read that this is a common problem, so just know you may have to do this at some point. Another problem was the blue LEDs in the keypad seem to have died.

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 bought this mouse looking for an alternative after years of only buying Razer products. Unfortunately it's looking like I'll have to look elsewhere or just go back, because this mouse only lasts a few months before it starts double clicking. I originally bought it in May 2020, and first noticed it doubleclicking in August 2020, only 3 months later. First the right, then the left too. Corsair support was incredibly slow to help me, i'm talking WEEKS between responses and one time they lost my email and had to start over, and then they didn't have any of this mouse in stock (support guy tried to get me to take a different, inferior model of mouse without the side buttons instead, which is what i specifically bought this mouse for!) so I had to wait extra time for them to restock. It took me until DECEMBER to actually them to send me a new mouse in exchange for the broken one, which I shipped to them on the 19th. Their RMA website has little info on your active order - my mouse was marked 'received' on Dec. 30th (i shipped it, and it sat there at received until after the new one arrived on Jan 15th. I've been using that mouse since then without issue until about a month ago - again, 3 months after I got it - when it's started double clicking AGAIN, this time starting on the left. It was very rare, now it's gotten worse and I'm looking for a new mouse already, I will not go through all that crap again just to get another mouse that will break in 3 more months. Also, I have to mention the iCUE software is completely broken and makes your side buttons not work at all while it is open after like, the first time. No amount of uninstalling, reinstalling, tech support, or resetting the mouse fixes it, the buttons do NOTHING while it's open. Profiles do not save to the mouse itself, so you better hope you have a default profile option you like or you're screwed. Also, this is NOT an uncommon, rare, or new issue; it's been like this for YEARS looking online, so Corsair really doesn't care to even try fixing it. Pretty atrocious. The useless software combined with having to wait 5 months for support to give me a new mouse (repeating stuff over and over that didn't work) puts me off the company as a whole. At the end of the day, if you don't care about the lack of the software functionality or it removing functionality from your mouse, and it doesn't crap out for you after only a few months so you don't have to bother with the slowest support in the world, it's a good mouse. But those issues are inexcusable and I will not be recommending Corsair mice to anyone because of them.

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.

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.

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.

Perfeito para jogar wow

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.

The best
