Great mouse. Reactive. Easy to use. Fits your hand well, and I really like how the 12 buttons section on the side is moveable to compinsate for individual hand differences. Ive become a major corsair guy recently after some bad razer experiences. Ive been using their mouse, keyboard and headphones over the last 2 years. Im very satisfied!!

Got this for the lady because she plays alot of MMORPG game's. She absolutely loves it. They allow you to change the postion of the side buttons to fit your hand. Aswell as easy nice gliding on mousepads. Response is just great aswell. Highly recommend getting this if you like quality aswell as functionality. Thanks again!

This is a great mouse not just for gaming but for everything. One button controls all Corsair devices RGB. One button smpleing resolution and a bunch opf programable side buttons. I like the wired because i hate chasing down wireless devises that disconnect all the time. It's not inexpensiive but you should not expect that in a device thaty costs $80. Double thumbs up!

The mouse itself works great. Feels good to use and responsive. Can have multiple profiles with different settings for different games with is awesome for me since with different games I really like being able to assign different buttons. Software acts up at times and really is the only issue. Sometimes it won't pickup and load the mouse or keyboard. Lighting settings needed some weirdly specific adjusting to not have the mouse and keyboard just have no lighting. Software quirks aside the mouse itself works great!

This mouse has held up through quite a bit of gaming, after 1yr plus the scroll wheel started reacting weird but much better than other mice I’ve owned that all seem to break around 6 months and double click. The iCue software is also very easy to use to custom map the extra buttons.

Gamer mouse good for radiology PACS

Very good mouse for creating hot keys and macros. I like that it has onboard memory and once set up doesn’t require the iCue set up software to run on the machines. This is important if you cannot put the software on work machines. I travel with the mouse and use at several sites with different key mapping. I use this for radiology PACS on two different platforms. My only improvement would be to place another piece of rubber or texture near the thumb in front of the macro keys to slightly improve the grip. Nice sound mouse. Good quality and feels solid.

An Unexpected Nice Upgrade

I was a long time advocate for the Logitec G600, but the cost for the G600 has gotten out of control. With this in mind, I kept my eyes open for other options. When the G600 died, I tried this Scimitar.
I was plesantly suprised, The Scimitar fits my hand better and still provides the functionality I like to have for work(believe it or not). The text entry capibility of the mouse software allows me to enter templates for emails. Push a button and the mouse fills in a basic template for an email I would otherwise write, or copy/paste several times a day.
My only complaint is not really the mouse, but the itrusiveness and clunkyness of the iCue software. 9/10 for the mouse, 4/10 for the software. But, it works.

Not as good as the Logitech g600, but as they’ve stopped making that mouse, this one is a good substitute. Software for the mouse “iCue” needs better functionality (you cannot press 2 thumb buttons at once as the software only recognizes one button press). Other than that, it feels better made than the razer naga or g600 in terms of quality of buttons / plastic. One last thing, the thumb buttons are set pretty far back compared to the other two mouses.

Absolutely love this mouse. Being able to adjust the side buttons so my thumb can reach the last back 3 is a godsend. I used to have a razer mouse that I couldn't quite reach those, so they never got used. Love the feel and weight of it. My only complaint is the grip on the right side gets dirty quickly, nothing some alcohol swabs can't clean though.

It’s a decent mouse that I use for work; the buttons help me design using a CAD program. The middle mouse click is a bit heavy and that can wear out your hand. But it’s good for what it is

Trust Best Buy

I had the great idea to buy directly from the Corsario store. They sent me a used mouse. According to them, the price was low at the time because they were selling recycled items. I returned the mouse to Corsario and immediately went to my trusted Best Buy store, where their customer service is exceptional. If you buy something and it arrives in poor condition, they'll replace it right away. If they sell you something in an open box, they'll warn you, but they never sell you something used for new.
I love the confidence I have in shopping at Best Buy; everything has a solution.
About the product, it worked very well, each key could be easily coded, for those who use Blender I recommend it, it is perfect.

Bought this as an accessibility aide and it has been stellar! The 12 side buttons are all programmable and you can set up different profiles via the app. Excellent purchase when you only have one hand to utilize the computer due to injury

The mouse is super comfortable and the adjustable side buttons are a nice touch. downside is if you have fat thumbs its hard not to hit more than 1 at a time. The corsair software is not the greatest though and does not make programming the side buttons easy at all. also depending on the grip you have you cant reset your mouse without pinching the buttons on the side so its kind of a pain.

Great mouse for MMO's, not so much for shooters.

This is a really great mouse for MMO's and general use. Fits well in my big hands via palm grip, features a bunch of programmable buttons, feels very high quality. This may not be the mouse for you if you're looking for something light for shooters, have small hands, or want to go wireless. None of those flaws bother me, though wireless would be nice.

I prefer Logitech's G600

I recently picked up the Corsair Scimitar mouse because it was on sale and I thought it would be a good upgrade from my Logitech G600 -- seeing as they're nearly identical mice with 12 inner-thumb buttons.
The Corsair's RGB options are more fun and it has several more light sources on the mouse than Logitech's.
However at the end of the day I'm planning to return the Corsair and keep using my Logitech. The Logitech G600 is half the price and honestly feels a little sturdier (I don't accidentally press the inner thumb buttons like I do on the Corsair when using it casually) and the lighting/key reprogramming software is way easier to use.
I don't hate Corsair's iCue software (I have a Corsair keyboard) but it feels clunky, too technical and unintuitive.
I don't think the Scimitar is a bad mouse but when the Logitech G600 is sitting right there for half the price and offers basically the same functionality, I'm sticking with it over this.
Unless you're just dying to jump through iCUE's weird program hoops to program some extra lights on your mouse, I recommend spending less and getting the G600.

I have issues with my hands and wrists so a device like this is almost a necessity for me, no matter what I'm playing. Being able to bind keys on easy to access buttons that require no additional hand movement is a godsend. The adjustable keys alongside Corsair's top-notch build quality and support are really what set this above the rest, with Logitech's version being a close second. Whether you play MMOs or simply want to make navigation shortcuts, this mouse is great.

I love this thing, whether it be for gaming or work, this mouse is the best one I’ve ever had. The buttons are definitely big enough to be easy to locate and use, but not too big that you’ll have a hard time finding comfortable hand/finger placement when not wanting to use them. The iCue app is fantastic as well, it’s a great way to connect all of your Corsair devices and manage them with ease.

One of the best MMO mice available. Purchased for wife who has smaller hands. Software isn't particularly intuitive but none of it is for any of the MMO mice and i've tried them all. I actually prefer the Logitec G-600 because its a bit larger and fits my hand better, HOWEVER, build quality and longevity of the Corsair is top notch. Once you get a handle on the software, key bindings ect. you'll never go back to a regular mouse again,
