"its lasted me 4 times as long as any of the Nagas I had ... It's honestly worth spending a bit more on it. You will save money in the long run by not having to replace it as often."

"I save so much time by using it's 12 buttons as common shortcuts and phrases while programming"
"2 going on 3 years with no issues whatsoever ... use the side buttons for the bulk of my rotation so I've smashed those buttons probably tens of thousands of times if not more. ... The thing is a tank."

"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"
"And the iCue software is a mess. ... Mutiple times it broke completely and I could only fix it by doing a complete reinstall. ... While that seems fixed, now it just refuses to launch on startup."
"i really love my corsair scimitar but i have a huge problem with iCue due to the fact that it wont auto-start and then my mouse wont switch programs when I start specific games :/ ... Really love the mouse but hate the program xD A reason why i'd like to switch..."

"Please avoid the Corsair Scimitar normal or Elite, they have a know flaw related to the scroll wheel, it brakes so easily ending up clicking but not rolling. ... I have 3 of them in my electronic graveyard drawer."
"their shitty scroll wheel keeps destorying itself"
"You **will** experience the mouse wheel fucking up (registering up scrolls as down and downs as ups on some of the clicks)"

"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."

"it just never felt comfortable in my hand. ... ultimately I did not find it comfortable. ... I have smallish hands and couldnt get my grip to feel good."
"Yeah it’s definitely chunky, which is perfect for me personally but if you have smaller hands it might not be great."
"The Scimitar is pretty bulky."

"I also found the side buttons to be too "flush" with each other ... I also found the numbers on the side to be too flush with each other, making it easy to misclick or click multiple buttons at once"
"My only complaint is I wish the side buttons textures were a bit more distinct or were angled slightly more"
"The bottom row of buttons feels a bit hard to press sometimes"
I have the wired version and enjoy it. It’s comfortable to use and responds well. The buttons on the thumb allow for a lot less keyboard memorizing
r/Warthunder • Is the Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless se good for War thunder? ->I have always used Scimitar rgb. I have used this since wow 2004. There are higher priced ones but this works great for me. It takes time for you thumb to feel out where the buttons are [https://www.bestbuy.com/site/corsair-scimitar-rgb-elite-wired-optical-gaming-mouse-with-17-programmable-buttons-wired-black/6393997.p?skuId=6393997&ref=212&loc=19718098496&gad\_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAtYy9BhBcEiwANWQQL1PzRpPh8eztTgMUn36rM1P08QmxEyK4JfJdPFfKfUTRiyo3BN9nJxoCgnMQAvD\_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/corsair-scimitar-rgb-elite-wired-optical-gaming-mouse-with-17-programmable-buttons-wired-black/6393997.p?skuId=6393997&ref=212&loc=19718098496&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAtYy9BhBcEiwANWQQL1PzRpPh8eztTgMUn36rM1P08QmxEyK4JfJdPFfKfUTRiyo3BN9nJxoCgnMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)
r/ffxiv • MMO mouse for FFXIV ->I got one of these: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/gaming-mouse/ch-9304211-na/scimitar-rgb-elite-optical-moba-mmo-gaming-mouse-ch-9304211-na Best decision ever.
r/Guildwars2 • How The Heck Do Y’all Press All These Buttons?! (New To MMORPGs On PC) ->For bigger hands might be a stretch. The 1 button on the side is so close to the bottom that unless you have small thumbs, you're likely to get a lot of fat finger hits on the 2 as well.
r/wow • Best mouse for WoW (high ranked Mythic+) with extra buttons? ->I've had 2 g600's and 2 or 3 nagas malfunction or die prematurely. Obviously, everyone's experience here is anecdotal, but I don't think any of them are without flaws. I prefer the g600, but it's no longer being made and razer's software and onboard firmware are terrible, so I went with a scimitar this time. It's fine so far, but the 1 button is too close to the bottom of the mouse, meaning I have to roll my thumb a bit to only hit the 1 or I end up fat fingering the 2 as well.
r/wow • Best mouse for WoW (high ranked Mythic+) with extra buttons? ->Recently (as in just a few days ago) I had to retire my G600. It sits on a shelf now in my living room in a place of honor. I picked up [this up](https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/gaming-mouse/ch-9304211-na/scimitar-rgb-elite-optical-moba-mmo-gaming-mouse-ch-9304211-na) I like it. Having adjustable side buttons is nice. And it’s not expensive. That being said the software is crap. Load it up, program the on board memory, then shut it down unless you absolutely have to use it again. Don’t forget to turn off auto start when you boot up. Good mouse. Bad software.
r/wow • What MMO mouse would you Recommend for WoW? ->Scimitar RGB Elite. I really like the mouse, but it is unfortunate that iCue is garbage software that breaks way too often so I'll be looking for a different one when it comes time to replace. I only use MMO mouses now. I put all skills on the side buttons.
r/pathofexile • What mouse do you PC guys use with PoE? ->I wouldn’t get a mouse FOR drag clicking, but a mouse that happens to have drag clicking ABILITIES while also having other things and still feel nice under your hand for hours on end would be the kind of mouse you want. For me, I have the SCIMITAR RGB ELITE Optical MOBA/MMO Gaming Mouse, which costs about 60 bucks, and is reprogrammable and incredibly easy to drag, double, and butterfly click. As for the price, it’s cheaper than what you want, with significantly better performance. Of course, there are other mice, but getting one for the sole purpose of drag clicking would be a waste of 80 bucks.
r/hypixel • Currently looking for a new mouse since my current one is dying, anyone know if this one is good at drag clicking for bedwars? ->Ive had both. Im never getting a Scrimitar again. The mouse itself was great. Good build quality, comfortable, etc. The software ruined it for me and the software is mandatory for the most part. One one point they patched put the ability to change one of the keys...that was my breaking point. Twice the price, twice the hassle.
r/Guildwars2 • I never thought I needed a 12 mouse buttons for this game but I hope it’s a big change in a good way for me ->I'm using a Redragon M908 Impact now after going through 3 Corsair Scimitar RGB Elites... Each of the Scimitars started having scroll wheel issues after somewhere between 9 months and a year or so. There was also the occasional issue where the customization profiles just wouldn't load and I had to plug the mouse out and in again. I had reservations about Redragon due to its low pricing, and it does feel "cheap" compared to the Scimitar, but so far it works like a charm. Way less trouble setting up the hotkeys too. I've only had it for a few months so time will tell if it holds up, but as it stands I've yet to be disappointed by Redragon. As for MMO mice in general - I believe that once you're used to one you can never go back.
r/Guildwars2 • I never thought I needed a 12 mouse buttons for this game but I hope it’s a big change in a good way for me ->nah disagree scimitar goated
