"With the Naga I map the center button on the bottom row to shift. ... And with that I can roll my thumb up, left, or right and get another three keybinds. ... And just having shift there also lets me press that for shift, instead of my left pinky. One less thing for my left hand to do. Makes Shift+4 while moving and jumping easier. ... This gives me ready, instant access to the entire hotbar. And with shift, an entire second hotbar (excepting shift+7 and shift+9)."
"Macros will let that be enough to play even a druid in all forms with every spell being useable. ... And this is without stopping movement to reach and without any annoying left pinky stretch ever being required."
"Only the Naga let's me assign shift to one of the middle row buttons, then easily roll my thumb left and right to get shift4 or shift6 from just my thumb."

"I save so much time by using it's 12 buttons as common shortcuts and phrases while programming"
"ease of pressing the right buttons for strict WoW use"
"side buttons that make playing all kinds of games extremely more convenient."

"Saving the profile to the mouse memory fixes this. ... Then you can use it in any computer and it just works. ... I don’t even run the icue software anymore. ... You still initially save it through icue, but you use one of the 3 hardware spots on the actual mouse. ... Iv’e gifted 3 of these to friends who play with me, I opened each mouse and saved a profile so they wouldn’t have to mess with it. Plug them in and it’s ready to go."
"Works fine tbh ... Once you get it setup, you're pretty much good."

"My scimitar would randomly "unplug/replug" itself (Windows USB sound would play) ... and then it would forget all custom keybinds until I rebooted...often in the middle of a key. ... I chucked it out the window after a year of pain"
"iCue constantly explodes, requiring a reinstall to fix ... the settings you put on the headset REQUIRE iCue to reapply every time the headset connects. ... I have reinstalled iCue a number of times to try to make it work and its straight up ass IMO."
"Icue is so shit. ... But god forbid trying to reset up your bindings or trying to save them sometimes. ... So unintuitive. ... The worse ui I've used out of all the mice I've had over the last 20 years. ... Having to do macros for everything was stupid. ... I could never get the onboarding memory to work right either."

"Noticed this problem from my G305 now to the Deathadder V3… and the deathadder I have just gotten a week ago and already causing issues."
"it’ll stop working and reset constantly"
"Lubricating the scroll wheel fixed all my broken mice. ... I even pulled one I thought was toast forever out of the closet and put it back in service. ... Brought two of my scimitars back from the junk drawer."

"had it twice, both times broke in under 6 months, don't want to ever buy it again"
"mine ultimately failed because of the common issue that happens due to the plastic they use for the top housing being softer than the switches they use on the left / right click so as you continue to use it eventually the switch indents the plastic and it stops actuating."

"Yeah it’s definitely chunky, which is perfect for me personally but if you have smaller hands it might not be great."
"Only downside about it for me is that it has no removable weights and is on the heavier side, so it doesn’t perform as well when playing shooters, but that’s a small issue for me."
"it was just too heavy a mouse for me"

"it's so fucking LONG. ... I have big hands and I have to hold it at an extremely uncomfortable angle to be able to hit all the buttons, to the point it becomes unusable."
"Strongly disagree. Went thru 3 in two years. Some of the more regularly used side buttons just stopped working on each."
"The buttons were way too stiff to press."
bigbillyplays 1.0[BEST MMO MOUSE](https://amzn.to/3TW7vJH) I have used just about every MMO mouse on the market and the only one that fits my hand comfortably is the Corsair Scimitar. The other ones I have tried felt too small in my hand and also a little flimsy. Link to the wireless one my wife and I both use.

mgsmus 1.0[Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless MMO Mouse](https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/gaming-mouse/ch-9314311-na/scimitar-elite-wireless-mmo-gaming-mouse-ch-9314311-na) I used the wired version for years. I got it when it first came out. Then, when the wireless one was released in 2023, I bought it right away and have been using it without any issues for two years. It's the best MMO mouse I've used so far, but it's expensive. I don't think I can switch to anything else since my hand is now used to its numpad.
You're right, although the software is lighter than before, it still has issues. Since my RAM, liquid cooler, and ambient lighting are all Corsair, having a Corsair mouse gives me the advantage of managing everything with a single software. That's why I can overlook some of the bugs.
pepiopi2 1.0I moved to this as well after my 3rd g600 broke and they stopped making them
Such-Community-29 1.0I moved on to the scimitar elite wireless. It has a better sensor, adjustable numpad and wireless. Ever since they removed the macro capability off the g600's Onboard memory, it useless to me now since I use mine for productivity.
0rphu 0.5Weight doesn't really matter much if all you do is non-competitive games, but I play a mix of most game genres and after switching from a scimitar (corsair's mmo moise) to a lightweight deathadder I don't think I can go back. My aimlabs score on multiple tests improved by like 20-30%. The deathadder with the AA battery is a good bit heavier I think
Beanakin 0.5I bought a Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless several months ago and it's doing well so far, but it's the first mouse I've ever had with more than 2 buttons on the thumb side as extras. I like that the position of the number keys under the thumb can be adjusted backward and forward, but if I make it so the farthest forward keys are comfortable then the farthest back keys are kinda awkward to hit and vice-versa. I heard the same about the Logitech when I first started looking to get an MMO mouse and was bummed to find out it had been discontinued.
BruenorsClimb 0.5K70 pro is pretty good. My mouse is the scimitar elite it’s fine not the best but solid.
Charliesthetic 0.5corsair scimitar elite. similar design like the razer naga but you don't have to text support within the first months of owning it :) (i have a personal vendetta against razer, i had a full peripheral set from them, mouse, keyboard, headset and they ALL broke within a year)
christianlewds 0.5Holy moly, I did not expect Logitech to dominate this much. I got Corsair Scimitar Elite and it's nothing but problems. Failing scrollwheels, failing mouse buttons, dogshit quality - I'm on warranty claim no. 6 now btw. Can Logitech restart their MMO mouse, please, I'll switch in a heartbeat. :(
Colten822 0.5I went through a Naga, Scimitar, and g600. I decided go wireless and the best option I ended up going with was the naga. I was surprised how much I like it, I thought I would have liked the scimitar more, but I'm team Naga once more in my life.
Okay, my time has come. \*cracks knuckles\* I have used a lot of MMO mouses. My first one back in the day was the Razer Naga wired mouse. Kept having issues no matter how many times I replaced it, so I swore off of it and went with the Corsair Scimitar. Scimitar was great until - as much as I hate to admit it - I was raging in a game and clicked so hard that I messed it up. It still worked, but I needed a replacement. Got the Logitech G600 and loved it, but after a move it got damaged in the process, so then I decided to try out a wireless mouse for once. I tired the Corsair Scimitar Elite... it felt cheap and weird so I returned it and got the Razer Naga V2... despite telling myself I'd never use Razer again. This is my current mouse and I love it. I didn't get the Pro, I felt like it didn't have anything I needed. I was always frustrated with the wires of my old mice, but I told myself the latency was worth it. I feel so much better with a wireless mouse now, no more angerly fighting with the cord in the middle of a fight, plus I can easily take it with my laptop since you can switch between 2.4GHz and Bluetooth. And I haven't had any connection issues nor can I tell the difference in latency. I play a lot of games, but shooters are my main game, and I just can't play them without MMO mice anymore. I'm not sure what your retailing options are, but I see it on sale often here in the States, default price $75 USD. I haven't really seen any other wireless mmo mice at cheaper price. The weight WOULD be lighter if it didn't need a AA battery inside it. After reading your post I held all my mice in my hands trying to see which was heaviest, but I really couldn't tell. I think not having a cord shackling you down will be such a boost that actual weight won't matter. If you have any questions, lemme know.
