[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The CORSAIR SCIMITAR RGB ELITE MOBA/MMO Gaming Mouse, Black, Backlit RGB LED, 18000 DPI, Optical is a pretty good gaming mouse. The features that I like include: 1) Ability to scroll quickly on menus and to have control of the mouse while doing so. 2) The numbers on the left-hand side of the mouse allow for quick configuration of games. 3. ) The numbers help with easy commands. 4.) The mouse is comfortable in my hand while gaming and it's lightweight. 5.) Like that it has backlit colors that can be changed as needed. So far from testing this mouse, I have seen no cons. If I should see some later, I will update my review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you happen to be playing a MMO without a mouse crafted for this specific type of game play - where a multitude of commands, key sequences, macros, etc need to be performed repeatedly or part of a rotation, please go ahead and get yourself this marvelous mouse. The shape & contour on the RGB Elite fit extraordinarily well to my hand size (adult mens L), and the rubberized coating feels sensational; all while providing excellent tactile grip. Using this for World of Warcraft is amazing. Maybe like a few of you, I'm back playing WoW classic as a melee toon, and not sure how I played without this thing before. The options are ENDLESS thanks to easy to customize iCUE software. Speaking of iCUE and IMPORTANT when starting to use this out of the box. Make sure you are running the latest firmware. There was a noticeable improvement in tracking with my mouse following the update. Open iCUE, go to settings, device settings, and update from stock (0.06?) to 3.19 (current as of 1/20/20). Remapping buttons to toggle DPI, open a app, run a macro, etc is a breeze. Colors options - endless. Lastly, the mouse comes with a tool that lets you to adjust the position of the 12 thumb keys. This allows for a really nice customize-able feel for however you like to place your thumb. This mouse is definitely a game changer that can improve your game play performance if you take a little time to make it work for you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an off brand mouse before this one, ive used razer naga in the past, honestly this one is just right. Corsair has typically been hit or miss for me, but this time they really got it right. This mouse is really comfy, super sleek, and very reactive. I instantly noticed a difference when i swapped out my old one. This one has no latency whatsoever and truth be told just looks way better than most stuff on the market. I would for sure recommend this if you need a good mmo mouse.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got mine today and it was an open box with no support of anything holding the mouse inside. It looked like someone forced their way into the box for a quick swap for a new mouse. The used mouse that came with the box had nasty fingerprints all over it and even on the side buttons. The bottom even has scratch marks. I didn't buy a used mouse for $100 dollar with protection plans. I would still recommend using the mouse since it's a good mouse but never a used mouse with nasty fingerprint. Just a good laugh tonight.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great form factor and awesome layout. You can move the key pad with the included Allen key to place it in the ideal spot for your thumb. This would be a 5 star if only the texture on the textured buttons was a little bit deeper. I sometimes find myself lost and searching for the textured buttons to know exactly what button I am hitting. Also the iCUE software is quite a pain to set up as you have to hit the + button under assignments to assign Each button. Then you have to pick what kind of keystroke you are doing. Not sure why they can’t just have you touch the button and hit the keystroke you want for that button. Just seems unnecessary. Other than that I would APPROVE this Mouse for anyone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] IMPORTANT: THE RGB LIGHT NEXT TO THE SIDE BUTTONS IS NOT CONTROLLED THROUGH THE LIGHTING EFFECTS IN ICUE, IT IS SET THROUGH THE DPI SETTING IN ICUE. Razer Naga Chroma died after 7 years and was tired of the bloated Razer software so I was looking for another mouse with the side buttons and lighting. I already have Corsair case fans and keyboard so this was a no brainer. Works perfectly with ICue software. The best part is the adjustable side buttons which can be moved back or forward to individual preference. I definitely recommend if you're looking for well built mouse with RGB lighting and/or one with the extra 12 side buttons.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A mouse with a thousand buttons, or so it feels. With the ability to program 17 buttons in three different profiles you can have all kinds of options. Each profile saves the specific button actions, the lighting for four different zones and the different DPI settings. The lighting is kind of essential to help tell what profile you are on and you can set the color for the DPI settings. The DPI is insane from as low as 100 all the way up to 18,000 which I don’t know how anyone can control that slight of a movement. All of these settings require that you have the iCUE software installed, but you can save the current profile settings, which are instantly applied to the mouse, to one of the on board hardware profiles. This will allow you to use the mouse on any computer with the settings you prefer without having to run the iCUE software on it. The instant apply is kind of annoying at times, especially if you want to change the right/left click functions, as they are required to be applied to a different button before you switch them, or you happen to change something accidentally and have to use this new setting to fix it. The ability to remap the buttons ranges from assigning a simple keyboard stroke to complex macros. You may spend a lot of time in here just trying to get the mouse the way you want it. Another customization feature is the ability to slide the 12 button keypad forwards or backwards a bit with the included allen key. Having this feature makes it so much easier to get the most function out of the keypad. The alternating texture of the keys also helps in finding the keys without looking at them, but that takes a little learning to get used to. With them being lit it isn’t hard to get a quick glance and catch the numbers. I still find myself bumping the wrong button from time to time though. The performance options and the surface calibration also allow you to get the best out of your play space. Say for instance you use some ceramic feet on your mouse, but had poor motion, you can run the surface calibration and the mouse now reacts properly to that lift distance. This mouse can be a game changer but it does take some time to customize and familiarize yourself with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for small hands. Sleek design with adjustable 12 button macro. Extremely reliable & best bang for your buck. Have purchased 6 of these over past 12 years. 3 for myself & 3 for my brother. 1 for primary + couple backups because it's THAT RELIABLE! Even minimum 2 years averages out to $3.33 per day for 1 of the best in market. ($80 / 24 months). Customizable via iCue software: button inputs, DPI & RBG too. TAKE. MY. MONEY!
