Too much going on most games don’t let you use the extra buttons

Scroll wheel stopped working properly after 60 days. It’s a known issue which is searchable on Reddit. Poorly engineered internals.

I love MMO mice. Having access to all of those buttons is not only great for gaming but for productivity too. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this mouse takes it a step further. The entire button panel on the side can be slid forward or backward to fit your exact hand shape. This is accomplished using a little allen wrenchy, screwdriver thingy that comes with the mouse. There are 12 buttons along the side, and each vertical row alternates between a smooth surface and a textured surface so that you can better tell what button you're about to press without looking. The right side of the mouse has a textured surface as well which helps you maintain a nice grip on the mouse as you move it around. The mouse's cable is a nice braided wire. It feels sturdy and is plenty long. The Corsair iCue software has to be downloaded from their website. It gives you the ability to program macros for the side buttons and to adjust the color patterns for the mouse. The software made it look like each zone of the mouse could have its color adjusted independently. But at the time of this review, changing the color in one zone seemed to change it everywhere. I really like this mouse. It's flashy, it's comfortable, and it has all the features that I could ever want. I strongly recommend it.

Have had my Corsair Scimitar mouse for about 3 years under constant use and travel and it is still working great. The 17 programable buttons are very useful, the buttons have a good positive click, and it is the most comfortable mouse I have ever had. Other than cleaning it occasionally, it does tend to collect dirt in all those spaces...etc, and the rubber pad on the right side wearing down, I will use it till it dies.

Great mouse for the price especially if you catch it sale for $50. I usually go about 5+ years before I need to replace this mouse with a new one. I'm a pretty heavy gamer and the build quality is decent. My last two started getting random disconnects every hour or so that's when I replaced them. Not many other mmo mouses on the market with the 12 side button in this price range. The Razor Naga made my hand sore after a couple days and the plastic felt odd so I returned it. You can't adjust the weight on this mouse and it is rather heavy mouse so be aware of that. I would recommend.

The Scimitar RGB Elite MOBA/MMO gaming mouse more than exceeds the expectations of the gamer in our family. Installation of the mouse is easy and the iCUE software is straightforward to use. Adjusting the buttons was simple with the Key Slider control. This allows one to reposition the 12 buttons to a position that feels comfortable to one's own grip and hand. The 12 button setup is something that is useful for MOBA. The RGB four-zone lighting doesn't disappoint and is a nice compliment to the Corsair K95 keyboard. The iCUE software also allows customization of the mouse for macros, 17 programmable buttons, sensitivity preference and surface calibration. The iCUE software has been error free and straight forward to use. The mouse glides very well and the optical sensor performs perfectly. It provides a nice fit and is comfortable to use over extended periods of time. The Scimitar mouse is rated for 50 million clicks with its Omron switches and has a durable build quality that should endure a lot of use. Along with the plentiful options of colors and effects it would be hard for this mouse to disappoint.

Pros: I like the matte finish, the lighting on this mouse is top notch, well-built with lots of useful buttons. You can slide the side buttons forward or back to best fit your thumb length. You can tighten or loosen them before you slide them with the included tool which is pretty cool to do. Plug and play, just connect the mouse to your PC and you’re ready to go. Quickly adjust the mouse speed or if you’re playing a game, quickly adjust your ability to turn around in the game for example a shooter, with the press of a button. Cons: This is a personal gripe but I feel like the mouse is a little on the light side, the 10 mechanical buttons on the side are too small for my fat thumb. Overall I’m very happy with my corsair gaming mouse, The pros outweigh the cons and even then the cons are just personal gripes.

In the box is the corded mouse and a quick start guide. Overall, I think that this mouse is a great performer. 1. It has a great DPI range. This range fits perfectly because you can adjust between 600-1600 dpi which in my opinion is excellent for gaming. 2. 17 button mouse. 12 buttons on the left side within reach of your thumb. These buttons are numbered 1-12. At the top of the mouse, are the remaining 5. Each 1-12 button has a small gap in between but someone with large fingers may find it difficult to navigate through each number. In my opinion it would take some getting used to. The buttons 1-12 have three active modes. Mode 1, allows you to use each number as the corresponding number. Number 11-12 would be the = and - button. Mode 2 will give a pseudo number as well, except only 1-6 can be used as it corresponding numbers. 7-12 are the programmed as Q, W, E, R, D, F keys. Mode 3 lets you seamlessly move through text document editing. It gives you the option to cut, paste, copy, undo, and control+alt+delete. To manipulate these functions/profile, press the upper button below the mouse wheel. The lower button under mouse wheel, changes the dpi setting. 3. Mouse size/weight. After two hours of game play, the weight of the mouse started to become an issue for me. I am more accustom to a more heavier mouse, that gives me a bit more feedback when moving around. Someone with larger hands may prefer a larger mouse, with my smaller hands, the mouse fit almost perfect. Also someone with longer fingers may have a hard time adjusting to the upper part of the mouse. Also, someone that normally grips the mouse on the left side may end up constantly pressing the buttons. I do also wish there was a thumb rest below the number keys. I felt that I had no where to put my thumb if it wasn’t resting on the buttons causing them to activate while I was playing. There is also a non-microbial surface, which is a plus for me. 4. You can’t forget RBG (red-blue-green) functionality of this mouse, which the color scheme directly effect what mode you are in. So if you are in Mode 1, red. Mode 2, green. Mode 3, blue. The dpi color settings are on the left side top of the mouse. Each dpi setting has its own color, red/white/green/purple/blue. Overall, I rated the mouse, 4 out of 5 for the shape/size of the mouse and the extended usability. Would I recommended this mouse to friends and family? Yes. Overall it is still a great product.

I heard that a mouse like this is perfect for MMORPG's like WoW, ESO, etc. I decided to go to my local BestBuy and pick one up. When I got home, I did expect the mouse to be plug-and-play. IT IS NOT PLUG AND PLAY. It is super easy to get iCUE if you don't have the firmware. Just go to Corsair's web page and follow their instructions. The difficult part about using this mouse that had me frustrated beyond belief for a couple hours is how hard it is to actually figure out how to remap keys to the umpteen mouse macros. But, never fear! I am going to explain how I got mine to work, because good luck finding a video or blog that has the information up-to-date with the current firmware version. Step 1) After you've downloaded iCUE, go into your devices and find the Scimitar PRO. Step 2) after you've located the device on iCUE, simply click on actions, and then the "+" on that same drop down bar. Step 3) once you've done that, a new text will appear with "MACRO 1." Now, look to your right, and you should see your device with a "MACRO 1" drop down bar. Click on that and find "NUM & SYMBOL KEYS" (or whatever it is you are looking for). Step 4) once you've found that, click on that. Step 5) after you've clicked on that, a slew of text that should indicate, in my case the numeral and symbols located just above the A-Z keys on the keyboard. Step6) click on the "1(!)" to remap the "1(!)" key to the marco buttons on the mouse which you should find on the right side of the device menu listed as "G1", "G2", "G3", etc. And wallah! You're in business! IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: in order for you to bind all 12 keys, you must create a new action using this same method for all 12 key bindings! If your new macros do not work in game, I've heard that doing this under the default profile works the best. If you've done this and it still doesn't work, try resetting your PC. If by some crazy instance that doesn't work, check to make sure iCUE is updated. Because I didn't and that would have solved a lot of issues. Overall a fantastic mouse. I love it.

This is a great mouse and the MOBA Keyboard on the side that can slide is perfect to get the right fit where you need it. Overall I've been impressed by this mouse and the feel. While I'm not a MOBA player, having the keys on the side for my FPS that I can map has been really handy in helping out once I adjusted the muscle memory. No more moving my fingers off a move key to switch a weapon or throw a throwable, I just map the mouse keys for the game to the keys on the side. Its been very nice and a great help when I play on my laptop since the keyboard is a bit cramped and moving my fingers to secondary keys off of WASD can get tough for me at times. Again the fact that you can slide the keyboard to the right position to your hand is a great touch. Though I'm not a huge fan of it being an Allen key (it is included but I fear I might lose mine). That said once tightened the keyboard stays where you want it. Even with my large hands this mouse felt good and the software was easy enough to figure out for customization. Its not to light for me, but those you like to add some heft will be out of luck, so I recommend going into the store and testing the heft to make sure it is for you. It was nice to see a surface calibration tool in iCue software. Not sure if it makes a difference or what it does, but it did feel better after all. DPI can profiles can be saved to the mouse allowing for you to get the different settings you need for the games and again recording Marcos (or for me keypresses) was easy. The mouse is RGB is nice and since you can tie the DPI to an RGB color on the side its a great way to make sure you got the sniper profile on vs 360 noscope. The feel of the mouse overall for me is great and the fact I can adjust the placement of the keypad on the side is perfect. The keys are offset smooth and dimpled so you can find the right stack for the macro. Overall I like this mouse and think the addition to slide the keypad makes this a great little gaming mouse.

I've gone through two of these mice, now. The first one had a scroll wheel failure which is common. Lasted me about 2 years, IIRC. The replacement was the Elite version and lasted ONE MONTH. The same issue, and was really annoying. Sent it in for an RMA, and had a replacement sometime later. The cable feels a bit too short imo, and the only real thing I like compared to its competitors is the adjustable buttons on the side. However, the new replacement has lasted 3 years now. The scroll wheel has been kind of finicky here and there but overall it is fine. I just wish there was more competition with MMO mice. If you need a mouse with extra buttons, this is not a bad pick at all. Just be aware of the issues and make sure to keep your receipt for any issues where you might need the warranty.

By far my favorite mouse I’ve used. Before this mouse, I used the 12 button razor naga, and then the razor naga trinity, but this one was my favorite. I have smaller hands and it fits very well. You can also adjust where the 12 buttons sit on the mouse by sliding it around, then locking it in place. I haven’t had any issue with it, and I use it heavily when playing MMORPGs for abilities/spells, and FPS games to switch between weapons and gear. I’ve had it for a little over a year now and there are no signs of it slowing down. You can also customize it pretty heavily with keybinding and macros using Corsair’s ICUE. Highly recommend this mouse for both gaming, or a professional work setting.

This is a really good MMO mouse. The thumb pad(?) is adjustable and fully programmable with the iCUE software. iCUE is the same software used for keyboard, headphones and any other Corsair peripheral. As for how the thumb pad is adjustable, there is a small allen wrench that is in a plastic bag attached to the mouse cord when you open the packaging. It is small and easily lost. For gaming mice, especially current generation mice, they really should be portable to keep up with esports players. The fact there is no storage that the wrench could slide into seems like a minor oversight. Personally I am constantly adjusting the location of the thumb pad based on the game I am playing. For whatever reason I seem to adjust my grip based on game I am playing. A slower paced game I will program all the buttons individually, but a faster paced game I will assign based on quadrants so I can miss a button but as long as I am in the area I will send the command I want to send. That may make the moving of the thumb pad make some semblance of sense. All in all it is a really comfortable mouse. My only real gripe is no storage for the allen wrench.

Ergonomically speaking, this fits perfectly in my hands. The center of gravity is spot on and it feels effortless to move it around.The grips on what falls under your right ring and little finger are an understated nice feature that enhances the overall comfort and position awareness of your hand while it's on the mouse. It makes me feel a bit more confident about picking it up and not dropping it in a clumsy fashion. Even at a weight of 122g. What it really shines at is the macro ability that lies right under your thumb. Using the iCUE software from Corsair you can do some real magic if you put in some time on it. If you are one that habitually has a lot of repetitive steps in your workflow, this is something you are certainly going to want to at least explore. With 12 available buttons on the adjustable keypad, you could chop down a lot of keystrokes and save a lot of time with some well curated macros.

Computer mouse is alright. The moveable keypad on the side its kinda cool but feels overengineered but maybe i'd care more if i had real big (or small?) hands. The software that runs the mouse features gave me a bit of trouble as it was finicky on wanting to remember my settings or not.

This mouse is perfection in your hand as you glide to domination in your game. The programmable function of this made playing WoW and other MMo games a breeze! It has handle some great gaming sessions and is durable.

This mouse has been my go to for gaming for the last 3 years. The ability to customize/map all the other buttons and to utilize the thumb pad for gaming just makes life easier. Definitely recommend.

What an absolutely superb shape this mouse has. My hand draped over it perfectly and the feel of the mouse is neither greasy nor sticky i.e. a very nice satiny finish. You do need to download the iCue Software and ensure you have the latest version. The website is super easy to use. There are many nice lighting effects and it does match other Corsair products if you like to have keyboard and headsets with similar lighting designs. I felt the ability to make the lighting also dimmer or brighter was very useful and I like dimmer. This mouse does have a 12 button keypad on the right side for your thumb. They are not too small to hit individually so that was great, I’m amazed they could get so many buttons in a small area yet still make it useable. I did take advantage of the ability to slide the 12 button keypad forward or backward to match your thumb size. You need to loosen a screw on the bottom of the mouse and they provide the small hex key tool to loosen it. Beware that the tool is stuck inside the rolled up cord for the mouse and at first I missed it. When done it does lock solid in the position you set. You can adjust many settings using the iCue software for surface calibration, LOD, and even angle-snapping if you want to play around with that. Bottom line is it is a very sophisticated mouse. You can set macros for any of the 12 keypad buttons as well as all the other buttons except 'left click'. It is a simple process using the iCue software, very well thought out. I like it when strong programming goes into the functionality so that the user interface is easier and this iCue software does the trick. I do recommend this mouse as it feels so nice in your hand, has plenty of customization and plays very precisely. What a great little mouse.

This is my first gaming mouse that I could program multiple buttons. It was a great feature and the mouse operated perfectly. The software that you can program is a bit hard to use but once you have been using it the program wasn't to bad. I really liked the buttons and wheel of this mouse. I would purchase another one to replace this one but it feels like it will last a while.

This mouse was gifted to me for a birthday as I wanted to get started into gaming. My friend bought me this and another one of their custom keyboards and i though they were amazing. This mouse is very ergonomic and can move around well. It looks amazing and when my room kicks on with all my LEDS, this just adds to that immersive look as I walk in. This product is amazing, and I would definitley reccomend this to a friend. I hope this finds you well in pondering your decision for a great over all mouse.
