mmorpg mouse fps not so much
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.thought i would like it more but when playing any fps game the side buttons can really mess me up if not disabled

Posted .Hi craig,
Thanks for your feedback! We do recommend trying the mouse further with side buttons set as it can take some time to get used to the increased buttons and their placement. We've used the Scimitar Elite extensively and find you'll get used to them over time. If you're still having issues after some time, we do offer other mice that may be more to your preference and we'd be happy to help you in choosing. Please feel free to reach out to our support team so we can assist you further: support.corsair.com

Mouse wheel breaks easy with light use
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like the over all feel of the mouse but the scroll wheel started to just stop working after a few months. Not worth $70-80 just for it to stop working after a few months. Don’t buy this tons of other people have had this problem.

Posted .Hi Jacob,
That'd be correct, not worth it when a product does that, but thankfully this is not normal and you'd still have a warranty, so please reach out to our team directly right on our site.

Taking a while for me to get it to work right
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.can't get it to save profile for steam games, side buttons are given me the blues. It's a good mouse I just can't get it to work

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for the 12 mouse buttons which had a cool slide feature using a set screw. Well the set screw mechanism broke while adjusting the slide within a hour of the box being open. Pretty much worthless now so I bought a Razer Naga the next day.

Cheap scroll wheel.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Scroll wheel broke within a month and a half of using it. Did some research after the fact and discovered that this is one of the most common complaints, and it appears the the manufacturer just gambles on whether the scroll wheel will survive until the warranty expires, hoping to require you to buy a replacement. Avoid this brand!

Total crap.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am exceedingly underwhelmed by this mouse. I paid $80 figuring I would get a good gaming mouse. It had good reviews, so I tried it. #1 It's "sharp". The rubber on it is physically sharp and hurts my fingers. no other mouse has done this. #2 The software is absolutely horrible. It's overly complex and "pretty" rather than functional. #3 The mouse loses it's functionality when it wants to on a whim. #4 Support is horrible. Most of the good answers I got were from the user forums. You would think at this price point they could be better.

Dead after a few months
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Scroll wheel failed after a few months now some side inputs are also failing. Light usage, kept very clean, tried air can duster, taking it apart, it's just broken. Get it with a warranty or don't get it at all.

Bad quality

Disappointed in this product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This mouse seems to have the same problem that all the rest of the same brand have. After a few weeks of use it sticks with the left click button and does double clicks. This is a recurring problem with these gaming rodents.
