Customer Ratings & Reviews

There's not a lot of options out there anymore when it comes to mice designed around MMO games. I've used the ones from different manufacturers over the years. What I like most about Scimitar though is the ability to adjust where the side buttons sit. I really wish that other companies would adopt this or at least offer a similar kind of system. On the software front, I've always had a kind of love/hate with iCUE. When it works, it works great, but when it doesn't it can bring all sorts of grief. Getting the mouse setup was a breeze. There was no update to speak of, only one for the wireless Slipstream adapter. I was happy to see that this actually worked as the last couple of Corsair products I owned, the Slipstream support was nonexistent as it wouldn't show it being connected and utilizing Slipstream. Thankfully however this is not the case this time as I can see that it is in fact using it and reports the full 2000 Polling rate. Remapping keys is a breeze. I appreciate how simple Corsair has made it. You can either Type the key or click it on a virtual keyboard and then drag it to the desired button. Macro Support is here as well, so if you're someone that plays games like Helldivers, you can Macro your Strategems so you don't need to fuss with trying to press the buttons on your keyboard. So far the Scimitar has been great. I think in the couple weeks I've been using it, I've charge it once. That's significantly better battery life than I get out of a similar wireless MMO mouse I have. If you want a fantastic mouse with crazy long battery life, a comfortable grip and plenty of buttons to customize, this is one of the best options out there.

Corsair continues to flex their muscles in the gaming hardware field and that was no different with this updated version of the Corsair Scimitar Elite wireless gaming mouse. Right off the bat, before I even started charging or even powered on the mouse, it felt like the highest quality, absolute beast of a mouse I have ever felt. It is all business and it definitely feels like its price point in the best way possible. The materials feel superior, and the different textures are all nice to the touch and do not feel like Corsair cut corners. The mouse came fairly charged but it topped off pretty quick with the USB-C charger. As someone with small hands and short fingers, the sliding key slider adjustment for the thumb area was genius. If only more products on the market were this easily ergonomic, especially for a very economical price. I was able to use this mouse for gaming to test the accuracy and response quality and it was a noticeable improvement from my old mouse. I also used it to edit photos where the mouse is not as important as gaming is, but it was still an enjoyable experience to be able to use a clearly high quality product to do a daily task of mine. I was messing around with it and was even able to program some of the buttons as shortcuts with editing, so it was nice to see all the programing options don’t just apply to gaming. The comfort and precision of this mouse is appreciated and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their gaming and PC use experience.

This Corsair MMO mouse has 12 side buttons and then there is also the 4 on the top that you can program to do a massive amount of different things with the iCue software. Anything from program shortcuts to DPI switching, it will even integrate with the El Gato Stream Deck. (all 16 buttons are customizable.) Even the 12 pack of buttons on the side can be physically customized/altered "positioned" closer or further away; which is great for people like me with lessor thumb reach then most. The shape of this mouse feels good, it is a little larger (wider) than any of my fps mice but this isnt that sort of mouse, so it does fit as i would expect. It actually feels pretty good to use so far. pros 16 Progammable buttons (macros, remapping, customize rgb lighting etc w/icue) 12 Button Key Slider (repositionable, for that perfect feel) Multi Stream Deck compatibility Battery life features 150hrs from wireless or 500hrs via bluetooth *with rgb turned off 33K DPI/750 IPS Optical switches cons a little on the heavy side a little bulky, but i mean it does have 16 buttons so you should expect this Overall, this mouse does a really good job for what it was intended to do. The buttons feel well placed and after some time playing on it, I feel I can actually find the buttons I am reaching for pretty accurately. I am not sure if this is due to the height of the buttons, or the size of; but I do feel they were done right when they designed this mouse. (I have used a few mice like this in the past and none have felt this well setup,... I'd either press the wrong buttons or they just didn't feel very reachable, and with the ability to slide the pack of buttons up and down (for me) is very beneficial and makes this mouse that much more enjoyable to use. Also, the ability to incorporate this to utilize my stream deck, is also a really nice feature. I like being able to quickly use my defined shortcuts and having the ability to setup multiple configurations is also a very nice thing to be included. Not to mention the mere setting up of the buttons in iCue is super simple, point click done. I would highly recommend this mouse if you are looking for this sort of mouse with these kinds of customizable features, this mouse definitely does a good job at everything it is attempting.

’ve been using the SCIMITAR ELITE WIRELESS SE MMO Gaming Mouse for a couple weeks now and it’s now officially my new favorite gaming mouse. This is the first time I try a mouse with side buttons, and adapting to it was easier than expected. Kind of wish I made the jump sooner! I won’t lie, I am a fan of Corsair products and own some gaming headphones and a headphone stand. I love their quality, and they didn’t disappoint with the quality in the mouse. It feels solid in hand and the gun metal finish gives it a clean premium look that fits perfectly with my setup. If you play FPS games like Warzone and RPGs like Diablo, you’ll love having so many programmable side buttons. This was my first time and it’s a game changer. It lets me map everything from throwing grenades, putting armor, or in Diablo, doing attacks with just the mouse. Although I am still getting used to using the side buttons, it doesn’t disrupt my gameplay. I am adapting quickly and I can honestly say once I get it down to muscle memory, I am going to love this even more. The wireless connection, like many modern-day gaming mice, is solid and I haven’t noticed any lag or stuttering in my gaming sessions. The battery life is ridiculous. I would be lying if I said I have tested the 500 hours of battery life, but I have not had to charge it again in my first two weeks. That’s plenty of hours of gaming for me and so no complaints at all. Overall, if you’re looking for a high quality mouse with tons of customization options, this is one I’d definitely recommend. Especially if you switch between FPS and MMO or RPG games like I do. It delivers on both performance and design. Loving it so far!

Functionality wise, this is a great MMO mouse with an excessive number of buttons suitable for games with lots of hotkeys, or skill lists, weapon wheels etc. The 12 buttons on the side by default map to the number row, including - and =. And as a neat added trick, by loosening a screw on the bottom of the mouse you can then readjust and lock in the position of this keypad forward more or backward more so you have the best position for your own grip. The battery lasts a decent amount of time, giving several days before I have needed to plug it back in, and since I frequently forget to turn it off when I'm not using it, that's pretty solid and would last way longer if you to remember to turn it off when you are done. Corsairs iCue software lets you setup your profiles, and mapping and all that fun stuff we're used to with gaming mice, including the lighting on the corsair logo. But otherwise, if you only have the mouse and no other corsair accessories to manage it's a little heavy to keep running all the time. So best to stick to one brand for your overall accessory package so everything can be managed in one place without additional bloat. The strength here with these amazing selection of side buttons also ends up being a weakness for people with smaller mousing areas. It leaves little space to grab the mouse without accidentally pressing one or more of these buttons, so day to day use outside of gaming, can be a bit of a pain, especially if you're like me and use an ultrawide monitor and don't like the sensitivity turned way up on your mouse. So it might be more useful to slide the keypad all the way back, so you can grab the mouse easier, and lose out on some of the accessibility being able to move the keys forward gives you. But at the end of the day, this is mostly a preference thing. The shape is overall comfortable for me, and performance with it has been great. No skipping around while using it, or unregistered clicks, or phantom clicks.

The Scimitar Elite Wireless SE MMO gaming mouse looks super sharp, has nice weight to it and nice size for big hands. The Corsair mouse was a nice addition to my gaming set up, however it will take some getting used to the side keys. Overall, the mouse was very simple to set up, you have the option to have a wired, wireless receiver and Bluetooth connection. The mouse may be customized using the Icue software that other Corsair devices use already. The DPI is simple to switch when needed upon the press of a button on the top of the mouse. The only issue I have as of now is the side number keys they are place on what I would call an awkward space because when you need to raise the mouse you are not able to press too hard because then you press a side key. You may say it is as simple as not pressing so hard the issue i have is that if I don't not press hard on the sides the mouse will literally slip out of my hands making it hard to reset it in a desired place. The mouse does have some decent weight to it, but just not enough for my liking. Other than those to very small issues this is a solid mouse build that looks great and performs nicely. No many RGB lights on it but it is understandable because the more you add the more battery it consumes. I am loving every moment i get with this mouse.

I received this mouse from Best Buy to try and after putting it through some paces I found it to be a welcome addition to my PC game nights, specifically for RTS games like Command and Conquer and the new Tempest Rising. The side buttons worked incredibly well for grouping my units allowing me to quickly deploy them in various strategies. I loved the simplicity of it, it was fast and easy to respond to the fast paced action. The mouse itself felt comfortable in my hand. It was lighter than I expected, I would have appreciated some more metal or heavier feel for the price point, but I did appreciate the ability to adjust the side buttons for comfort. It only took a min to get things oriented and I was ready to play! Outside of the mouse, the iCue software worked incredibly well for setup and customization. Creating new button shortcuts and mapping was easy to understand and only took a few minutes to configure everything I needed. The RGB settings were also easy to use. Overall, this is a great mouse for upping your gaming needs.

The mouse is super comfy, well weighted, and very intuitive to setup through the iCue app. I use it mainly for CAD and the numpad makes executing shortcuts a breeze. It absolutely boosted my productivity which is a huge win in my book. When compairing it to my main gaming mouse (Logitech G Pro X Superlight) it is heavier and the scroll wheel is a little less "crisp" in my opinion. Regardless of those little things I still think it's a 9.5/10 mouse, it surpassed my expectations and works great!

Love the color, feels good in hand. Got it at a discount
