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

I switched to this mouse from the razor naga after they started going down hill(Frist one lasted 8 years 2nd 2 years 3rd 1 year and i game between 4 & 18 hours a day depending on the day) I love it honestly the way I can adjust the number pad for my hands, I love that 6 of them have bumps to show the difference, especially when playing a new game that isn't muscle memory yet, I have very small hands so the general MMO play style doesn't work for me. I also got one for my husband and he likes it

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.

I like to game in my recliner and this thing is perfect. Just save your settings within the mouse itself and put it on bluetooth mode. The wireless dongle is iffy.

It fast arrive international shipping. Its materials feel good. The 12 buttons pannels allow slip around 1 cm to adjust to dump finger.The software ICue allows configure colors, macros and set special macros to buttons.My unique claim is tht sometimes when I restart my computer the pointer mouse does not appears in the screen. I use other Razer devices and Loupedeck, so I hav disable start up lunch Sinampse and Lohitech software to check if that is cause the mouse not works well. I supouse is a software conflict, when I probe the. I will report to Corsair so they can solve the problem.

Update:I am lowering my initial score lower due to the middle mouse wheel starting to fail. The mouse wheel will slip and either not register the movement, or slip backwards in the opposite direction. It should go without saying, that for gaming this is completely unacceptable. Looking at reviews and comments this appears to be so consistent it should be considered a feature of the mouse. You can temporarily "fix" this by disassembling the mouse and greasing the mouse wheel, but it seems that people end up having to do this every few months once it starts, honestly it is not worth my time to do that.Strangely, the software has gotten slightly better, at least up until the most recent update, where it started to fail again. It has been more reliable most of the time, but I doubt the initial setup has gotten any better.As things stand right now, within about a year you will have to buy a new mouse or start doing frequent maintenance where you have to disassemble the mouse. Between the short life of the middle mouse wheel, and the software still not being that great, I would strongly recommend against this mouse.Mouse: 1/10iCue: 3/10Original Review:The mouse itself is great. It feels good in the hand and the adjustable keypad is very convenient. The only issue that I have with the mouse itself is that the scroll wheel does not operate like a back and forward button (no left / right movement). But that is a minor gripe when coming from the logitech G600. I do like that you can see the DPI via the color of the LED at the thumb, that is a nice feature.The single biggest failure of the mouse is the iCUE software. Now to start off I have used iCUE for awhile now, I have a corsair keyboard and LED fans, so I do use the software quite a bit. But for whatever reason they made the mouse interactions extremely dumb. Everything from needing to manually program every button in the default profile (because why would you want to use the number keys?) to the hardware profiles not really saving (if they save they are corrupt and get reset when you start iCUE again).Every time that my screen locks, I lose access to the number keys. This would be helpful for signing into my desktop, but not the end of the world. The real annoying part is when you do login the profile that should be loaded on to the mouse gets loaded, due to the way the communication protocol works for USB devices the mouse itself goes unresponsive for a few seconds.All that being said, I think my biggest problem with the iCUE software is that profiles are completely isolated and do not have any sort of stacking. Not really a big issue if you are only using a mouse or keyboard. Kinda a big issue when you have multiple devices and LEDs being controlled by the software. Ultimately if you hit the change profile button on the mouse (and you will, a lot), you go to a blank profile that basically turns everything off. Overall the software is not well thought out and not user friendly.Mouse: 4/10iCUE Software: 0/10

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
