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.

Near perfect – I’ve been so happy I just ordered my second one
Hands down the best gaming mouse I’ve owned. The sad thing is that gaming mice don’t last long anymore. I just ordered another one after about 1.5 years of use. The scroll wheel started doing the stuttering so many people report and it became too much of a problem to keep using. I like this mouse so much I’m willing to keep replacing it every time it goes out, and honestly, good luck finding a gaming mouse that doesn’t have double-clicking or scrolling issues after about 2 years these days. I like the shape and feel of this mouse, the side buttons are adjustable so it’s a perfect fit, and the clickers have a very satisfying click. It has a very soft yet grippy feel to it. I dare say it’s perfect if not for the wearing-out issue that’s so common with gaming mice.

Very sensitive to touch.
This is the most sensitive mouse I have ever had by far. It will take you a while to get used to it. I mean there are sensitive buttons on it everywhere. If you are an intense gamer beware. This mouse is extremely sensitive. You will accidentally press buttons all the time at first. You cannot rest your hand or fingers anywhere on the mouse; you will learn to hover over the mouse. It takes a while to learn how to move it without pressing one of the buttons. This is my second Corsair mouse. The last one lasted me over 6 years before it started double-clicking on me and it struggled to hang on to a hold press. I am a daily user; several hours a day. That is probably about their lifespan (6 or 7 years).

decent but could be better
my wife uses this mouse when she plays wow and star wars the old republic mmo. for the most part he mouse works well but there are times where the key binds assigned to the thumb buttons will randomly “stop working” She will check her key bind which will still be assigned but the mouse doesn’t work. the fix for this so far has been to unplug the USB Bluetooth connector and just plug it back in but it is annoying when you are in the middle of a raid and your mouse stops working.

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

Ich spiele WoW seit über 15 Jahren und muss gestehen dass ich über die Jahre viele verschiedene Mäuse hatte. Lange Zeit war ich ein Freund der Razer Mäuse, doch Corsair ist meiner Meinung nach einfach unschlagbar in dem Bereich MMO-Maus. 12 Tasten an der Seite + 2 weitere zwischen der linken und rechten Maustaste die alle seperat programmierbar sind. Die Maus hat auch ein gutes Eigengewicht, so dass Sie sich nicht billig anfühlt oder bei einem versehentlichen Schupser gleich vom Tisch fliegt. Die iCUE Software (Corsairs Software zum einstellen der DPI und Farben der Maus) finde ich nicht besonders Intuitiv, aber das ist meckern auf einem hohen Niveau. Sobald man einmal alles für seine Maus eingestellt hat, muss man das Programm nie wieder öffnen.

The mouse is a bit too light for my preference, but overall, it performs well and has good features.

I bought this mouse originally to play a few MMO games I got into, that used the numbers to cycle abilities, and it was much more practical to have them on the mouse since it was used as a core control for the games anyway.Having used it for a few months, I really cannot fault it. Everything from the build quality, number pad adjustment, build materials and easy sync with iCUE for the RGB lights was perfect. Being a wired mouse as well was also a big plus for me, since I prefer them over wireless, and the braided cable meant it wasn’t going to break anytime soon (which after a few months, I can safely say hasn’t).Ergonomically, the mouse fits really nice in the hand. It has a premium weighted feel, is just the right size, and every curve and notch fits flawlessly into your palm.The mouse is also full customisable in button mapping, DPI setting and RGB lights, with total compatibility with Corsair’s iCUE program.Finding a fault on this mouse is like finding a needle in a haystack, it really is that good. It became my daily driver for both work and gaming, and unless it falls into severe disrepair, will be with me for many years to come.
