Excellent, Affordable, Mouse for MMOs
I play WoW, like most folks looking at this mouse, and wanted to not be handicapped all the time by hitting the number keys on my keyboard. This mouse is THE SOLUTION. It works great, looks good, and the software is intuitive and simple. I had it all up and running in under 15 mins, and I’m 100% not a computer-savvy person at all.I love that it’s wired so I don’t have to worry about charging. The programmable lights are great and now the red LED glow matches my tower, very cool. The movable 12-key pad is convenient, but for bigger hands (L or XL men’s size) you’ll be maxing it out and probably could use another 1/2 inch forward, but it’s totally serviceable. Glides smooth over my regular trackpad, and the weight and grip seems standard for gaming mouses. No complaints.Admittedly, I bought this and thought I would becoming a PvP arena god overnight… It takes some getting used to. Like playing an instrument, knowing intuitively which key is #7 compared to #3 or #12 takes some practice. But I’ve been using it 2-3 hours a day over the last week and already I’m 2x as fast and more accurate than when I started. In a month of regular use, anybody could master it. Looking forward to being that arena god one day ;)Lastly! I love that this mouse is designed in Milpitas, California and has software from a reputable company not looking to steal your information. Not pointing any fingers at anyone, but there are some cheaper MMO-mouses on the market that I wouldn’t want to install that software on my computer or touch it with a ten-foot-pole… Be MINDFUL of where your products and software are coming from, especially when the difference is just 20 bucks. Just a heads up. Stay safe out there, and see you in Azeroth.

Feels and plays great! Love the buttery yet snappy clicks.
I loved my Logitech MMO mouse deeply. I’ve burned through two of them through the past 18 years playing World of Warcraft and everyday computing. However, Logitech discontinued manufacturing the mouse a while ago, and finding one that isn’t used is very hard to find. I finally had to look for something comparable from another manufacturer. There are very few manufacturers that make a side-button MMO mouse nowadays.The first one I tried was from Red Dragon. While good, it gave me hand fatigue. I still have it, it’s a good mouse, but I decided to keep looking.I picked up the Corsair’s Scimitar because of the good reviews it had received here on Amazon. I can honestly say that reviews are accurate, the good and the meh. Mostly, this is an excellent mouse and I highly recommend it. It fits my hand better and the clicks feel so good.The software looks sharp, but it’s dorky to use. I am not a fan. Yet, I managed to stumble through and make it work. If there’s a roadblock to successfully using the Scimitar mouse, it’s the software. I don’t like it. It’s not intuitive.The mouse itself is excellent. The adjustable sliding side buttons help to find the sweet spot for my thumb to be happy clicking away without fatigue. The click feels GREAT. I honestly fell in love when I made my first clicks. I can’t explain it but it feels great! Buttery yet snappy is the best way I can describe it. After several weeks of raiding with the Scimitar, I can honestly say I love this mouse. No regrets.I’m thrilled to have found a great replacement for my old Logitech MMO mouse. The Scimitar by Corsair is fantastic to play with. It’s snappy and responsive. I have no problems to report other than the cool-looking but non-intuitive software needed to re-program the buttons.

Great mouse, horrible software
Update:I am lowering my initial score lower due to the middle mouse wheel starting to fail. The mouse wheel will slip and either not register the movement, or slip backwards in the opposite direction. It should go without saying, that for gaming this is completely unacceptable. Looking at reviews and comments this appears to be so consistent it should be considered a feature of the mouse. You can temporarily “fix” this by disassembling the mouse and greasing the mouse wheel, but it seems that people end up having to do this every few months once it starts, honestly it is not worth my time to do that.Strangely, the software has gotten slightly better, at least up until the most recent update, where it started to fail again. It has been more reliable most of the time, but I doubt the initial setup has gotten any better.As things stand right now, within about a year you will have to buy a new mouse or start doing frequent maintenance where you have to disassemble the mouse. Between the short life of the middle mouse wheel, and the software still not being that great, I would strongly recommend against this mouse.Mouse: 1/10iCue: 3/10Original Review:The mouse itself is great. It feels good in the hand and the adjustable keypad is very convenient. The only issue that I have with the mouse itself is that the scroll wheel does not operate like a back and forward button (no left / right movement). But that is a minor gripe when coming from the logitech G600. I do like that you can see the DPI via the color of the LED at the thumb, that is a nice feature.The single biggest failure of the mouse is the iCUE software. Now to start off I have used iCUE for awhile now, I have a corsair keyboard and LED fans, so I do use the software quite a bit. But for whatever reason they made the mouse interactions extremely dumb. Everything from needing to manually program every button in the default profile (because why would you want to use the number keys?) to the hardware profiles not really saving (if they save they are corrupt and get reset when you start iCUE again).Every time that my screen locks, I lose access to the number keys. This would be helpful for signing into my desktop, but not the end of the world. The real annoying part is when you do login the profile that should be loaded on to the mouse gets loaded, due to the way the communication protocol works for USB devices the mouse itself goes unresponsive for a few seconds.All that being said, I think my biggest problem with the iCUE software is that profiles are completely isolated and do not have any sort of stacking. Not really a big issue if you are only using a mouse or keyboard. Kinda a big issue when you have multiple devices and LEDs being controlled by the software. Ultimately if you hit the change profile button on the mouse (and you will, a lot), you go to a blank profile that basically turns everything off. Overall the software is not well thought out and not user friendly.Mouse: 4/10iCUE Software: 0/10

Favorite Mouse
Love the mouse, fits my hand nicely. DPI is easily changed with the software and you can calibrate the mouse to the surface as well. No issues with connection to PC ever.

Very good mouse so far. Mine came opened and used though! I called them about it and said they needed an expert and to call another day. I kept the unit because it was not used extensively and couldn’t be without that mouse for days until I got a replacement, so watch out.

It’s a good mouse, been using it for a couple months now and my only complaint is when you reboot your pc, it takes a while for the mouse to remember your settings. It is a tad on the heavy side.
Cliente de Amazon –
Excelente mouse. Al principio pensé que eran innecesarios tantos botones para lo que requiero, pero cambié de opinión. Edito mucho documento de Word y PDF en Google Drive y el Scimitar me hace la vida más fácil; aún no he hecho un perfil para InDesign, pero seguro que también será util. Buena sensación al tacto, materiales de buena calidad, lo único malo es el software que no es muy intuitivo, tardas un poco en familiarizarte con él, pero tampoco es imposible manejarlo.

I was looking for something to replace my 2nd Razer Naga chroma. This is really nice with some good features. A lot of people complain about the software but they clearly havn’t had to deal with Razer Synapse 2.0. Synapse sucks, Icue is slightly better. Still not great, but a welcome improvement. The mouse itself is very comfortable and the adjustable buttons are great aswell. The buttons although not as tactile as the naga buttons feel much more solid and require less force to get the input. Which is great because I’m sick and tired of slapping my thumb against my mouse to use an ability. It took a little bit of getting used to, compared to the naga. But once I got used to the feeling of the mouse I like it considerably more. All in all great mouse. Cant speak too much on long term durability since I’ve only had it now for a few weeks.Update: 2 years later.The mouse is holding up quite well. There are no major blemishes on the surface and I’ve been using it a lot since I picked it up. I am however, having two issues that are annoying. The first one is the scroll wheel. After about 1 1/2 years the scroll wheel started skipping. Trying to scroll a webpage it would scroll the opposite direction first, before scrolling in the correct direction and sometimes not at all. I will be attempting a fix I’ve found for that online. The Second issue I’ve had just started the past week. On occasion when Clicking once, the mouse will register a double click input. As you can imagine, this is super frustrating. From what I’ve read online this is a switch failure which I’ve never had an issue with on any other mouse I’ve purchased.So to wrap up, the Corsair Scimitar was a fantastic mouse, it felt more solid than my previous Naga, however they both only seem to last about 2 years. I really wish someone would make an MMO mouse that you don’t have to replace every two years.
