    Not the best feeling mouse. The buttons are stiff and require quite a bit of pressure to actuate (especially the middle mouse button). Also, the software is a 1.5 gig download. Not sure why it needs to be that big.

    Trash mouse, side buttons don't come pre-macro'd to appropriate bindings. Scroll Wheel doesn't function after 8 months of use. Better off buying the $70 Razer Naga as opposed to this paper weight.

    Works as a basic mouse for PS4 - but I haven’t found a way to pair this with my son’s PS4 so that the side buttons were mappable. There were a few youtube videos that showed older versions of this mouse working. No luck on this one.

    The mouse really needs a thumb resting area. I tend to grip the mouse pretty tight during gaming and find the bottom two rows of buttons get hit all the time making them useless. The sliding adjustment does nothing to alleviate the issue.

    This scimitar was my first experience into a Corsair and MOBA friendly mouse, the design is solid and with the sliding keys this is friendly to all right handed mouse users. The first thing I noticed was the side light changing colors when hitting the top button, wasn't sure what it was doing until I moved the mouse and the DPI can go up to ridiculous speeds, claims to be pinpoint accurate but it was way to fast for me! Sure those who play competitive on PC will have no issue adapting to it though. The nice thing is you can change the DPI settings for this button in the software and assign to the colors to signify different DPI so you know what the current setting is. The side buttons have a texture to them on every second row from the front to back, so this can help you know where you are on the keys. Using this mouse helped me realize I hold the mouse fairly flat, pretty much palm it, so I have to adjust to more of a claw position to use the keys comfortably. The one thing about these keys is they do not appear to be programmed out of the box, you will need to jump into the software to set their function. It would be nice if there were some defaults configured for popular games that use this style of mouse, or be configure to their numeric equivalent on the keyboard. The mouse is sturdy, and once locked the slider doesn't feel loose at all, I can't knock the mouse on me not being used to the design. I will knock it down one star simply for software, I feel their is a huge learning curve that could be skipped if the software included recommended defaults for games or provided a convenient link to configurations you can load into the software to preconfigure the keys for those who are new to these keys. Mouse has RGB, you can pick how the lights appear solid, breathing, gradient, etc. Nothing crazy, but a little flash to you tabletop. I know some MOBA players who may have some interest in this mouse, I can't say this will make you through out your old and pick this up. But, if you happen to be in the market, the mouse is very comfortable and sturdy, with some bells to catch your attention, the lack of whistles in the form of software makes me hope software update create a more complete package for newbies.
