Customer Ratings & Reviews

i bought this mouse to play WoW but I ended up returning this mouse because the form factor in general felt very awkward for me to use personally. with that said, absolutely nothing is wrong with this mouse! it felt fantastic in my hand (small, fat hands), had plenty of mappable buttons, and i appreciate how i can slide the side buttons to be within reach of my thumb. I would definitely recommend this mouse to anyone wanting to play mmos. i simply returned it out of personal preference.

I really like this mouse a lot. It feels comfortable in my hand even after using it for long periods, and the responsiveness is excellent. The tracking is smooth and accurate, whether I’m working or browsing. The buttons click nicely and don’t feel cheap, and the overall build quality feels solid and durable. Setup was quick and easy, and it works exactly as expected. For the price and performance, I’m very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to others.

I was very excited to review this mouse when it caught my interest. I have always been interested in trying an MMO-style mouse with the number pad on the side, but I was always dismayed when I would try them to find that my annoyingly stubby thumb really wasn’t a good fit on the majority of those I have tried. Enter the Corsair Scimitar Elite. This mouse has one of the single coolest features I have gotten to try on a mouse: you can loosen a screw on the bottom with an included high quality hex screwdriver and adjust the number pad back and forth on the side of the mouth to the EXACT place you want it! This feature alone, I think, is going to win the game for Corsair with MMO players. I myself am not a hardcore MMO player, but friends of mine who are some of the most exacting and finicky gamers I know in terms of every accessory in their gaming arsenal needing to be precisely on point to meet the demands of their competitive gaming. The adjustability present here is going to give those folks the kind of dialing in they will want to make this mouse fit into their ergonomics just right. As for the rest of the build of the mouse, I like it reasonably well, but there could be improvements. I find that the overall feel of the mouse is to slick for my liking. This can be ameliorated with some skateboard tape or other grip tape available for mice online, but I would have liked some more texturing or stippling on some of the gripping surfaces of the mouse. This mouse is a brand-new release mouse as of the writing of this review in late May 2025, but I could not for the life of me get it to connect to the iCue software. No problem really since it is adjustable for DPI setting with the top middle button out of the box, and since the number pad comes already set to corresponding numbered buttons, so you are able to assign weapon slots and actions as usual on your game to corresponding number keys. But I will look forward to more customization as soon as the updates come out. Overall, this mouse gets 5 out of 5 stars for the innovation and cleverness of design in consideration of the demographic of gamers Corsair is targeting with it. Corsair peripherals have been reliable in my experience in general, and I found that this mouse is a beautiful pairing with my Corsair low-profile keyboard. I highly recommend you give this mouse a try and get it customized to your needs!

Certainly! Here is a quick review in English emphasizing the mouse's versatility: Quick Mouse Review: The Versatility King If I had to pick one feature that makes this mouse exceptional, it's the versatility. This isn't just a peripheral; it's a true workhorse that seamlessly adapts to nearly any task you throw at it. Productivity Powerhouse: The customizable side buttons and the fast, precise scroll wheel make sifting through spreadsheets or coding documents an absolute breeze. It genuinely speeds up my workflow. Gaming Ready: While it might not be a pure esports mouse, the sensor is fast and accurate enough for casual to moderate gaming. The comfortable, ergonomic grip keeps fatigue at bay during long sessions. Cross-Device Champion: The ability to easily switch between multiple devices (laptop, desktop, tablet) with a single button press is a game-changer. It saves time and desk clutter. Ergonomics & Battery: It's comfortable for all-day use, and the long-lasting battery means you rarely have to worry about charging.

I received the Corsair SCIMITAR Elite Wireless SE MMO Gaming Mouse for review, and I am blown away. With 16 buttons, this is the mouse with the most buttons I've ever had. First thing I felt is how comfortable the width of the mouse feels on the hand and the wrist. Its right side has an extra grippy section to rest your non clicking fingers (ring finger and maybe pinky). The thumb area has 12 customizable buttons grouped together and, you can move the position of the group of buttons based on your thumb length. The staggered grippy buttons and smooth buttons help you detect which button is which. The response rate on wireless (2.4G) is very good at 2000Hz. I felt no interference or lag on my FPS games. While the Corsair Scimitar Elite is a proper gaming Mouse, it is also useful for other functions when doing non gaming functions. You can set up the buttons for shortcuts, giving you fast access to buttons you would normally use your keyboard for. Overall, I am super impressed with this mouse and it's now my new go- to for all things.

Experienced meaning I have owned the other "12 key" multi button mice. This mouse has the speed you need in e-sports. At conventions I need untethered and this mouse can be wired, Bluetooth or use its high speed USB dongle. BEST feature is the sliding keypad, and thumb rest at the front. Move the keys where you like them. You will need to set your thumb down eventually and the other multi button options have no landing pad, so your thumb hits buttons 1 or 4 often, especially when sliding the mouse to the right. Stop shooting your friends, get this one.

Great mouse ! It's a bit hard getting used to where the buttons are or which is which but once you do it's good. The added ability to slide the side buttons to a position that fits best is dope as well! Note; I'm coming from the G604 or the Best Mouse ever that also happens to be discontinued for reasons unknown. It unfortunately falls a bit short from it but it is something!

Fantastic wireless mouse! this mouse has 2.4 dongle and BT. It works great and you can program each button individually, and it recharges with USB C.

Probably one of the best gaming mouse I’ve used. This is my 2nd time getting this mouse first one was wired. Wireless one works great and the battery lasts longer than I expected.

mouse overall feels pretty good to use, although i prefer sth a little more low profile like razer's. the side buttons panel can be repositioned and shifting it feels more comfortable to use compared to other 12 side button mice. really nice for browsing or office use. for non-mmo gaming I'd still prefer viper ultimate. but very nice for doom eternal. mouse software icue is a little harder to configure than razer's synapse (like turbo click) but feels like it's a lot less heavy than synapse, and it doesn't come with 3 addon bloatware. although it has gotten a bit slower for some reason.

I'm a longtime user of the Logitech mmo mouse but was disappointed to see it hasn't been updated into a wireless format. Decided to take a chance on this and it's been fantastic. Excellent battery life, good feel, and easy to use software.

The Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless SE is a powerful wireless MMO mouse that excels in button customization, comfort, and performance. The adjustable side button panel is a standout feature, making it easy to tailor the mouse to your hand and playstyle. Button customization is extensive, and battery life is excellent—especially when RGB lighting is turned off. Performance is rock‑solid: tracking is precise, responsiveness is excellent, and wireless reliability has been consistent. A major plus is the ability to use Corsair iCue alongside Elgato Stream Deck, enabling advanced macros and workflow automation that’s great for MMO gaming, streaming, and productivity. That said, the mouse doesn’t feel as premium as its price suggests. The plastic build comes across as somewhat cheap, and higher‑quality materials would significantly improve the overall feel. Additionally, while iCue and Stream Deck integration is powerful, it can be clunky at times and occasionally unreliable. Another downside is the lack of strong on‑device profile syncing, making it inconvenient to retain settings after system wipes or PC rebuilds. Pros Excellent customizable button layout Adjustable side button panel improves ergonomics Long battery life with RGB disabled Precise, responsive, and reliable wireless performance Works alongside Stream Deck for advanced workflows Cons Plastic build feels less premium than expected iCue and Stream Deck integrations can be clunky No easy profile sync or strong on‑device settings retention Overall: A great choice for MMO players and power users who prioritize customization, ergonomics, and wireless performance—but those expecting a premium feel and seamless software experience may find a few frustrations.

[Employee of bestbuy] Overall the buttons are easy to use, they are super clicky and a little loud but its a decent mouse for the price. Other than sound the mouse does what it needs to do for me as i play a lot of games like star citizen and anything that uses the top number pads to cycle through items. mouse is on the heavier side of things but its the way i like my mice.

I have used the wired version for a couple of years. The wireless version is a dream to use. Fits my hand nicely and I really like that the side buttons can be repositioned.

Really good mouse, way better than that razer trash. Can actually survive a fall and has good battery life. Very durable. Fully remappable keys. Great mouse overall.

Quite expensive but very versatile, good weight fits in my hand almost perfectly. Has Bluetooth, usb port and wired mode, highly customizable dpi and button mapping with corsairs app! Great mouse for the price

I have nothing bad to say about this. I do a little bit of gaming, but I’m a video editor. What caught my attention was the 12 programmable keys on the side I have programmed them for all of my keys in Adobe. I’m able to do my Ripple delete edits, just my top 12 keys in my hand now I don’t have a problem using the keyboard as well, but depending on my set up, it is very convenient to have my most used editing key is right on my mouse. I don’t find myself accidentally hitting them too often either , it was extremely helpful with the slider being able to adjust it for my hand and not so much just for my hand, but I was able to adjust it so that my rest on whatever I want to begin with so if you wanna start at one or you wanna start in the middle like I do you can move that slider in adjust the way your hand lays on them very helpful

Amazing mouse. Love the sliding side button panel and the fact you can swap between wireless and wired instantly.

I've been a Razer guy for the last bit, but this mouse has me rethinking. I've had the Naga since Synapse 2 and gone through 4 of them. While I enjoy the idea of the option to change side panels, I never have. The Scimitar Elite SE beats that in 1 simple way; you can move the side panel to a comfortable position for you. Pair that with the ease of keybinding, the Elgato support, and a charging port I can use my own cables on, I feel a switch to Corsair may be happening in the near future.

Great gaming mouse. Lots of side buttons. Just wish buttons were easy to tell apart by feeling them.
