    Great pricing for a gaming mouse and you cannot go wrong with Corsair. They make high quality gaming mice and also has a large arrangement of programable buttons!

    I switched to this Corsair mouse after giving up on Razer. Their quality has dropped so much. I have had none of the problems with this Corsair as my Razer. I love that I can adjust the numpad on the side. I use the numpad all the time for work. The mouse overall is comfortable and reactive. So far I am very pleased.

    A gaming friend recommended this mouse to me, and I have not been disappointed. The shape of the mouse fits my hand and grip style like a glove. It is very responsive. The software for the mouse is excellent (software and firmware issues are why I switched from my old brand of accessories to CORSAIR brand.) I love having so many extra keys right there at my thumb, that I can bind to keys, functions, macros, programs and even have separate profiles in which each hotkey can perform a different function. Being able to adjust the side buttons back and forward to be customized to the user's hand is a very cool feature.

    Love the product. ❤️❤️ buttons arevery responsive and its very light-weight. I also have the wireless version and enjoy it as well but for the price difference it makes more sense to get the wired version. Only complaint i have is the spacing with the buttons... 10,11,12 can be hard to push if u have limited range with your fingers.

    I got this for my girlfriend who loves my MMO mouse (unfortunately no longer produced) and this is the closest comparison. This mouse fits her hand better than my mouse does and still gives her the option for the 12 thumb buttons

    This Corsair Gaming mouse in my opinion is one of the best gaming mice out there even with it's pros and cons for me being a person that is used to a gaming mouse that is not optical and has a trackball it's taken some time to get used to and the other con in my opinion would be the fact of being a wired mouse being used to a wireless or rechargeable type mouse. The pros are that it has the 17 programmable buttons which you can program to use your keyboard keys or to have a macro stored to that key also the fact that it has RGB lighting that you can change up to match your gaming system

    Live me some mouse buttons, only downside is that the buttons have to be manually assigned via the iCUE software you download, and you can’t assign the keys as mouse buttons, only keyboard keys/macros, not the worst just not what I was hoping for, still a very good mouse, feels great in the hand and in case you need to, you can slightly adjust the position of the numpad, about and inch forward from how it comes in the box, and it locks into place with a hex key bolt so it doesn’t slide around when you’re using it, very nice mouse, if you like buttons you’ll love this thing

    Excellent Mouse For Customized Control

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This mouse has an extensive amount of buttons on its movable panel on the side where each button can be customized (through iCUE software) and assigned different actions or series of actions to execute when pressed (the panel can be slid higher or lower on the mouse's side and is locked into place when tightened through a hex screw on the bottom of the mouse; you are given the tool used to tighten/loosen it). This mouse is a bit larger than the average sized mouse you may be used to using, but I think it fits snug in my hand while using it and is comfortable when holding it and moving it around. The smooth accuracy and adjustable DPI (also through iCUE software) and DPI modes you can swap through on the spot with a button on the top of the mouse are a nice touch too.

    Great mouse for MMOs, feels good, I like that you can adjust the positioning of the side buttons. A small piece inside the mouse that connects the scroll wheel broke after one year of heavy use, leaving the wheel to free spin and unable to scroll. I opened the mouse up to see if it could be repaired or replaced but it's a cheap piece of plastic that doesn't seem able to be repaired or replaced, necessitating buying another mouse.

    Ive been using a Razer Mamba for a while now, but bought this mouse for diablo 4 and figured i might switch between them because i loved my mamba. This mouse is way better than i expected. Its way more comfortable than my mamba and the perfect size for my big hands. It has a soft and comfortable exterior snd the buttons all have a great click. Ive felt better scroll wheels for sure, but this one is decent. I highly recommend this mouse to anyone looking for a new one.

    A viable G600 rival

    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This mouse compares very favorably to the Logitech G600 MMO mouse. Since I was looking for an alternative, I will couch this review in that context. This mouse lacks the pinky button that is located to the far right of the mouse on the G600, and is instead replaced by a textured rubber tile to help improve the grip a person has on the mouse. Since my hand isn’t really big enough to comfortably press a button with my pinky, this actually works out well for me. But some might miss the additional functionality. The numpad buttons on the thumb area can be adjusted to slide forward or backwards for better access to certain number buttons. Though you do have to use a special screwdriver included with the mouse to tighten/loosen a screw so you can slide it back and forth. Unlike the G600, this has RGB. I am indifferent to this. This mouse also uses Corsair iCUE to map buttons and mouse sensitivity etc, and the mouse itself only has very basic functionality if you don’t use iCUE. Unlike the G600, this mouse also lacks the preferences that can be stored onboard the mouse itself. I generally like the Logitech gaming software better than iCUE, which can be spotty sometimes if too many Corsair peripherals are active. But so far this hasn’t been a huge issue for me. Overall, this mouse is a viable alternative to the G600 if you don’t mind iCUE and the lack of a pinky button.

    This mouse is ok, I have it as a backup for when my razer mouse goes out. The software can be a huge pain to deal with if you aren't software literate but the color schemes you can make are amazing. The side buttons can fade and the scroll wheel will go out if you tend to use it a lot, if you want a mouse that will last you, you may as well go with a razer naga MMO mouse. I'd recommend it as your own risk.

    Decent Naga Alternative

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've used a Razer Naga pretty much ever since I discovered it. A little over 10 years, and in that time I had three of them. The latest one I purchased lasted maybe 6 months, so I decided to switch gears and try the Corsair Scimitar. Mostly because I have a Corsair keyboard that I absolutely love. A few things right off the bat that were different, it's lighter and a little wider. That took a bit getting used to, but wasn't an issue for me after a week of use. The adjustable keypad is awesome. It's my absolute favorite feature of this mouse. Beyond that, it's a mouse that does its job. It has programmable buttons just like the Naga. Using the iCue software to manage the RGB is nice and easy as well. After about 1.5 years of owning it, it is now showing signs of wear, not physically on the mouse, but my scroll wheel is beginning to malfunction. Scrolling through a webpage, it will randomly decide to start scrolling up when I want to go down. Not an issue when it comes to gaming, but pretty frustrating just trying to use like a basic mouse. Initial quality and impression, this was a 5 star mouse that had features I wish the Naga had. Current quality and Impression, for gaming, it's still a go, but for daily use, the scroll wheel should be one of the last things to fail. The left mouse button still rocks like a champ, and that's what failed first on all my Nagas. So It's a matter of how you use this mouse. Strictly game? You'll likely love it forever. If you dual purpose, game and work, expect to replace the mouse every 1.5-2 years.

    Solid mouse, owned two of these the mouse wheel is a bit cheap and kept breaking so I 3D printed a new one. Besides that, this mouse is solid for people with bigger hands who don't like their pinky dragging on the mouse pad. The Corsairs program that controls the mouse is HOT garbage unfortunately and will cause you more issues than the mouse ever will.

    I've unintentionally trained myself into needing a numpad on the side of my mouse since the early days of playing MMO's and have found that others wear down very quickly and need to be replaced often. This mouse has lasted longer than any others I've used and offers the same bells and whistles that you'd expect with any other numpad mouse.
