CORSAIR SCIMITAR RGB ELITE Wired MOBA/MMO Gaming Mouse – 18,000 DPI – 17 Programmable Buttons – iCUE Compatible – PC, Mac, PS5, PS4, Xbox – Black

I purchased this MMO mouse to replace my unreliable Razer 'Naga'. This unit us lighter, has a noticeably better battery, contains a storage space for the RF dongle (very useful for long term use), has FAR better software than the Razer equivalent and is compatible with the really nice 'iCue' colour co-ordination for peripherals software.The RF mode has great response time for games, switching between it and the energy-saving bluetooth mode is instant. There's multiple DPI settings you can flick through with one button. Highly recommended . Assuming this lasts better than the Razer Naga did, it represents pretty great value - even at the relatively steep £80 GBP price point.

Corsair SCIMITAR ELITE RGB WIRELESS MMO Gaming Mouse (what a mouthful - talk about a long name)-It feels well built and nice in the hand-lots of buttons and customisation via the app-so far the mouse wheel feels smooth-battery life (via inbuilt battery) is miles ahead of my old RAT 9 wireless mouse-flexibility of bluetooth or wireless receiver (the usb dongle is neatly hidden in the bottom of the mouse - nice touch)-ergonomics are pretty good and i love that the buttons have different textures to tell them apart without looking. The side buttons can also be slid closer and further from your thumb and locked in place.-usable for me as an adult with small baby handsNegatives- I miss my pinky and thumb rests from the RAT 9. The corsair has an indented place for the pinky but its not quite as comfortable though Im glad its there. Not something you find on all gaming mice.-The iCue software took 3 attempts to install for me. Could have been my AV detecting registry entries being made.-the inbuilt battery is a double edged sword - much larger capacity and charge at the cost of some effort to replace later down the line. Ive made my peace with this but worth thinking about.

I used to own the previous "Pro" version of this and it lasted just outside of it's 2 year warranty - numerous left & right mouse button issues and the mouse wheel snapped (made of cheap plastic). Saw the new "Elite" revision and decided why not, maybe they've made improvements.It's almost identical to the "Pro", the only difference I noticed was having clicky side/thumb buttons vs the old mushy ones. Been using it for almost 3 years with no issues until now where the middle click has given out. Not the plastic on the wheel that snapped (still uses the same stuff), just the button itself doesn't work 99% of the time.Overall I do like this mouse a lot it's just disappointing that corsair's scimtar mice only last just outside of warranty period. I imagine this is planned obsolescence to make you buy another.Pros:- Good size for medium hands- All the buttons have good clicky feel- Software has improved quite a lot in the past few years and is no longer a major pain point I used to haveCons:- Expect to replace or fix yourself every 2-3 years

Absolutely brilliant, so far. The ability to move the keypad with the included driver is useful even for the one time you will use it. The soft touch texture of the mouse feels amazing and not tacky, also seems like it will last a long time with little marks from oil appearing after a couple of months of heavy use. The mechanical buttons feel good and are easy to differentiate with the variety of texturing on them and they are angled making them feel easy to press but with a normal grip you won't likely accidentally press them (unless you are picking the mouse up a lot). The mouse wheel is tactile and feels as good as any other and the grip on the outer side of the mouse is amazing so far, texture stops any slipping in game and feels like it isn't going to peel off (like the naga does). RGB is really nice and everything is easily customisable with corsair ICUE, while it takes a littler to get the side buttons working it is simple to learn and is much more refined than other mice software. As a Mac user the mouse works perfectly and so does ICUE but switching from Mac to pc or visa versa may require separate profiles. After doing this once on PC and Mac it has worked perfectly every time. The 2 middle mouse buttons below the mouse wheel can be re programmed from profile switch and dpi toggle too, which is very useful as you can set this to what you like then change them to more useful key binds.

On my third mouse in 8 years. They could maybe last longer, but I would not choose any other mouse. My first broke due to the Lazer not picking up movement, the second still works but the mouse wheel cogs have worn in one place and therefore skips when scrolling up and down. Hopefully this one last longer.

The mouse is pretty smooth and feels nice in the hand, but unfortunately that's where i think the pro's stop.Now some of the negatives i find with this mouse is more of a personal opinion.The middle click/scroll wheel click is very stiff and takes alot of pressing force compared to any other mouse i've used.The 'number 1' side button feels far too close to the mouse matt (regardless of the position of the sliding keypad), and as i rest my thumb there i'm also simultaneously rubbing the side of my thumb across the mouse matt too, not too much of a pain but it just feels weird (again, personal opinion)Now the icue software is alittle confusing but i use it anyway for keyboard configuration so i got used to it quickly but i can totally understand why its such a negative aswell, absolutely not user/newbie friendly.So in conclusion yes it's a fine mouse, good for it's purpose, but there are much better, cheaper, simpler options out there that are far more user friendlyEDIT: after only 5 months of very light use, the mouse wheel is sticking to almost unbearable to use, after doing some research online, apparently this is a very common issue. absolutely ridiculous that a company like corsair would allow a product of this expense to have such an issue. Do not buy.
