Probably the best mouse I have ever used. (Period). The thing that honestly caught my attention for this specific mouse was the programable buttons on the side. It’s best features are
- Capable of making profiles for
- lighting, Button configurations, DPI settings.
I personally have them set per game.
-Surface calibration in case you play on different surfaces like I do. Couch, bed, table, pad.
You can almost get rid of a keyboard with just this mouse.
I use a half keyboard (Excalibur) with this mouse. Perfect pair.
The only con I would say is that I wish it could’ve been Wireless or at least optional like were you could recharge or use with a USB cable.

The mouse is great and has made me a believer in the corsair products. I do wish the software was a bit easier to navigate and use but you will soon become accustomed to it.

I don’t like the texture — too smooth

This wasn’t the mouse for me. The feel in my hand was too slick, so it’s felt like my hand always wanted to just side off of it and there wasn’t anything keeping it from doing so. If I were Corsair, I would make the texture more aggressive like some of Razer’s mice. I also can’t stand the iCUE software because it’s a huge lug on my system’s resources. But one thing I did like is that I could set my RGB preferences on the mouse and then it would be saved in the mouse’s own memory, so I didn’t have to keep iCUE running like I have to with Razer Synapse on my Razer mice.

I love everything about this mouse except that you can't have long nails while using it for MMOs. I had to permanently shorten my nails because the little thing to the left is just... There, and having to choose between gaming and having pretty nails is silly. It would also be nice if they made a white one so it can be used in setups that aren't all black. I came from a Logitech G600 and while I love Corsair and have mostly Corsair components, I did choose this one because it was the only MMO option from a reputable brand aside from the Razer Naga... And I prefer Corsair over Razer.

Works perfect, great for more than just MMO games. CoD, Assassin's Creed, etc. Had the same mouse given to me a couple years ago and loved it. The previous owner used it for over two years. So the life is amazing only reason I had to buy this one was sticking buttons and didnt want to take it apart. If you are in the market for a budget friendly gaming mouse with great settings this is a great go to

Great product, however, no scroll tilt? Really? Well, boo. I would love to see more triple click mmo mice like a direct competitors mmo mouse. That said for having big hands it is now fav for thumb key usage thanks to the sliding pad.

Great feel, sturdy and the grip on the left is perfect. The 12 programmable thumb buttons work well for MMORPGs skill bars and I even set a few for quick mele in FPS games. Easy to set up key functions, lighting, and effects with the Corsair program iCUE.

Love the mouse, after a YouTube video or 2 the software icue was pretty easy to figure out. Came from utech gaming mouse. The only thing I miss is utech had a bigger platform for my thumb, but easy to get used to especially with the stable, movable, thumb buttons.

I’ve used many mice over the years, all ironically Logitech, and the OG Microsoft Intellimouse 2.0 for a very long time before Logitech.
I’ve not had much luck with those mice as I’ve already had 3 fail on me inside 2 years, so I thought I’d give Corsair a try as I love their Cherry Red/Blue keyboards and a few other Corsair components in my build.
I was a bit cautious with this mouse because I wasn’t sure how it was going to work for me. I don’t have large hands and I wasn’t sure if I could adjust to all those buttons on the left side. Well I hooked it up to my computer, ICue prompted for 2 separate updates, one cause I was a version behind, the 2nd was for support for the Scimitar RGB Elite. Once it installed, which took about a minute or so, I was off and using the mouse.
I mainly play Shooter based titles, CoD, Borderlands, Destiny 2, Apex Legends etc… along with RTS, MMO and RPG games. I’ve also accustomed myself to playing at low DPI settings. This mouse goes to 18000 DPI, I probably won’t ever use anything even ¼ that high.
One quirk I found with ICue is that if you’re changing what the key does after you change the name of the Action/Macro, it will revert the name. A small inconvenience, but you just have to change the key first, then name it to what it does. One thing I strongly recommend is to wipe out all the profiles on the mouse, otherwise they will override your changes. I found this out when I hopped in to a game and noticed none of my keys were doing what I setup initially. I blew out the onboard profiles, then created new ones and it’s worked perfect since. ICue I will say works great, more so that Logitech’s GHub that I’ve had the opportunity to use and ICue just seems more friendly with creating Macro’s once you get the hang of it.
To give it a workout, I got to configuring the buttons for my first venture out with it in Apex Legends. With the amount of different items you’re using during combat, it’s incredibly helpful to have everything within reach. Once I had everything going, I got acclimated to the mouse very quickly. I didn’t think I could handle so many buttons on the side, but it’s working fantastically and it’s quite easy to use.
I really like the rubberized textured grip on the right side as it helps keep your hand in place. I do wish it was just slightly narrower as it does feel a bit large in my hands. It’s got a great weight to it that you don’t really notice in fast paced scenarios. The lighting is a great feature and it’s pretty cool that you adjust everything individually, so if you want rainbow puke RGB, you can do that lol. Or you can have everything synced. I have mine set to a cycle and my Profile selection set to the side lighting in front of the keys so I know what Game I’ve got going.
I gave it a run in Destiny 2 and it worked flawlessly there as well. One of the nicest things is that you can map literally anything within ICue to any button. One of these that I have mapped is Push-To-Talk for my games and for Discord. It’s an inconvenience to have to reach across your keyboard to press the key. Being mapped to a button that only takes a fraction of the time to quickly press and hold without have to look away from the screen is a major convenience. I really can’t wait to give it a go in some of the other games I play. I’d really like to see how it works in something like No Man’s Sky.
I think my only constructive point of improvement would be to offer a Wireless variant. I’ve gotten so accustomed to the G700/G900/G903 Wireless mice that having a cord seems a bit weird given I never saw any perceived latency.
That said, this mouse is now my daily driver. I can’t see myself using anything else especially for gaming. It’s got a great feel, never feel’s overwhelming or confusing with the side buttons. I love that the keys alternate in texture. From front to back they got smooth, textured, smooth and textured and the 5 key has a dimple like the 5 key on your keyboard’s 10-Key so you know you’re thumb is in the right place.
One other thing I absolutely love is that the side buttons can be moved fore and aft. Corsair includes a little Hex like tool with the mouse and there’s a Hex shaped screw in the base. Loosen that screw just a bit and you can shift the button’s to get the best fit for your hand. It seems like a small thing, but it’s something that makes a large mouse like this much more user friendly.
If you’re looking for a wired mouse with plenty of buttons for your games, this is one of the best options out there, especially with the adjustability of the side buttons which no other mouse I’ve seen or tested offers.
