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

I purchased this mouse after very carefully considering other options and I am glad that I did. It's very aesthetically pleasing in person, and feels great to the touch. The RGB lighting is in a way very subtle and elegant, strange, since more light emanates out of it in various locations (logo, number pad, number pad area, scrolling wheel, and area next to scrolling wheel) compared to other mice that only seem to have one light source (mostly logo); regardless, it balances it very well and it's one of my favorite aspects of it, along with how it fits in my hand. The Corsair software is great, I was able to configure this mouse along with a keyboard that I purchased without a problem, from what I can tell the sky is the limit as far as how varied the level of configuration which can be accomplished with this mouse is; therefore, the depth of the offerings within the program might be a challenge to some, but nothing that some effort can't overcome.

I love everything about this mouse except that you can't have long nails while using it for MMOs. I had to permanently shorten my nails because the little thing to the left is just... There, and having to choose between gaming and having pretty nails is silly. It would also be nice if they made a white one so it can be used in setups that aren't all black. I came from a Logitech G600 and while I love Corsair and have mostly Corsair components, I did choose this one because it was the only MMO option from a reputable brand aside from the Razer Naga... And I prefer Corsair over Razer.

Great form factor and awesome layout. You can move the key pad with the included Allen key to place it in the ideal spot for your thumb. This would be a 5 star if only the texture on the textured buttons was a little bit deeper. I sometimes find myself lost and searching for the textured buttons to know exactly what button I am hitting. Also the iCUE software is quite a pain to set up as you have to hit the + button under assignments to assign Each button. Then you have to pick what kind of keystroke you are doing. Not sure why they can’t just have you touch the button and hit the keystroke you want for that button. Just seems unnecessary. Other than that I would APPROVE this Mouse for anyone

The mouse is great and has made me a believer in the corsair products. I do wish the software was a bit easier to navigate and use but you will soon become accustomed to it.

Love the mouse, after a YouTube video or 2 the software icue was pretty easy to figure out. Came from utech gaming mouse. The only thing I miss is utech had a bigger platform for my thumb, but easy to get used to especially with the stable, movable, thumb buttons.

Mouse is great. Had it for about a month, no issues.

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.

I got mine today and it was an open box with no support of anything holding the mouse inside. It looked like someone forced their way into the box for a quick swap for a new mouse. The used mouse that came with the box had nasty fingerprints all over it and even on the side buttons. The bottom even has scratch marks. I didn't buy a used mouse for $100 dollar with protection plans. I would still recommend using the mouse since it's a good mouse but never a used mouse with nasty fingerprint. Just a good laugh tonight.
