CORSAIR - Scimitar RGB Elite Wired MOBA/MMO Optical Gaming Mouse with 17 Programmable Buttons - Wired - Black

I've owned several corsair peripheral products over the years with varying amounts of satisfaction/dissatisfaction overall they are decent products but my general impression is they do not last as long as they should. (I'm a big fan of their memory products never a problem with those.) I have had at least two scimitar mice in the past, at least one of which I pretty much wore out the main switches after what's not really a lot of use. I don't play fast paced action fighting games, I'm mostly a mmo player with a bit of combat and then other life skill activities. It's the usual issue with worn out switches that start to double click or miss click with annoying frequency. This particular product and the Pro currently have a really bad reputation for problems with the scroll wheel failing (you can even find the program for 3D printing a new mouse wheel part on a number of web pages if you're lucky enough to own one of those). Apparently the plastic used to make the scroll wheel part is failing on the "shaft" and after that the scroll wheel no longer works. I tried to save a bit of money and bought a reconditioned elite from a popular site it arrived with a non functional scroll wheel. Lessoned learned, saving twenty dollars isn't worth it when a new one comes with a two year warranty and I also have the best buy warranty on top of that so no more reconditioned corsair mice for me it just isn't worth it, buy new for your sanity's sake. I like this mouse for all the side buttons and they aren't just useful for games with lots of controls/macros/etc. you can program lots of things onto these buttons and corsair's software works pretty darned well. For the price this is a good mouse, I'm getting old and cheap enough to be very reluctant to spend over 60 dollars for a mouse product and these days that's really a cheap mouse, some are going for as much as a hundred fifty dollars which is just ridiculous. This is a good product for the price just don't expect it to last years and years because like everything these days planned obsolescence is the rule in stuff like this.

In every way possible this is better than the logitech MMO mouse. Better weight, better feel in the hand, adjustable position for the thumb pad, nicer RGB, better/higher dpi, better software (icue is great, ghub is pure trash). Trust me, make the switch to corsair you wont be dissapointed.

I was a huge Razer fan but around 2018 the quality of all their products just dropped. I've been looking for a new MMO mouse since my Naga finally called it quits. I always heard good things about Corsair and they don't disappoint. This mouse is LEGENDARY. I feel so confident going into battles. The buttons are short to click so response time is stellar, it fits perfectly in my hand (I have small hands btw). The buttons are a solid click but not too loud. The ability to move the pad up and down to scale with the user's hand is a very nice touch. I also didn't realize but the blue color in the photos next to the pad is what DPI setting I'm using. So it's easy to figure out and switch between settings. All of these can be customized via the iCUE software too. My only complaint is the amount of RGB. I'm not a fan of RGB and haven't figured out how to turn it off fully.

If you play MMOs, you need an MMO mouse. And this one is the king. The side buttons are are quick and responsive. They offer almost no resistance to pushing while still being hard to misclick. Honestly, the design on the buttons are ingenious. Coming from a steel series aerox wireless, I'd take this wired Corsair any day. It's top tier. Especially for busy classes that require strings of inputs within 15-second windows (think Ninja class from FFXIV). I have put about 2500 hours on this mouse and I've not had a single issue. Well-worth the investment.

I bought this mouse to properly play FFXIV. I've always played with a controller but I wanted to fully utilize a mouse and keyboard layout. The side buttons on this mouse sit on an adjustable slider so that you can adjust to whatever feels comfortable to reach with your thumb. You can use the iCue software to assign a function to each of the buttons. The software is reach in feature but sometimes feels overwhelming. You do get used to it after a bit. The LED is easy to customize as well. It seems that the mouse picked up the same lighting settings as my other, main corsair mouse I use for everything else so it saved me some time there. I've played a couple sessions already and after some getting use to, I prefer this method of gaming over a controller for FFXIV so I will continue to use it. I definitely recommend it to anyone getting into an MMORPG.
