As per usual this was an awesome very thorough + in-depth review & video, Andy! 😁 👊 Cheers mate! 🍻

I use my MMO mouse for everything. For shooters, I use the numpad for everything related to abilites like reload, flashbang, grenades, healing, etc which frees up my left hand for controling movement only (WASD, sprint, crouch, jump). I never have to lift my fingers from WASD which means I get to keep strafing while reloading.

You made up my mind friend. Thank you

Thank you for a very detailed review :)

Thanks for the good review! I would love to see the time cut down though: it's a loong review for a mouse

Corsair has one of the finest mobo as well.

I have the pro version of this an love it very handy in games and for graphics work and i find it extremely comfortable iv got fairly large hands and this feels very nice wouldn't change it for anything else iv had logitech mouse before and they just felt small and cheep this feels quality and robust

i never knew I had big hands until I got one of these, this mouse fits SO nicely on my hand, mainly play FPS too

I've had the pro version of this for about 8 months now and OMG!! I mainly play MMO's with some moderate FPS (which I still love it for FPS, I just slap all my skills on it haha) and man is it a great mouse.

I got synapse. I never use macros but ima get the razer type. For producing having the short cuts at the thumb will be so sweet

I’ve had the glaive pre for a couple of years now, I love it. The only reason I’m looking for a new mouse is because I just can’t seem to find an MMO setup that works for me, so I’m opting for more buttons. I’ve just purchased the scimitar elite and the only thing I don’t like is the lack of a thumb rest. I don’t like the feeling of my thumb sliding across the mousepad when I’m not using key binds. Otherwise I like it a lot!

I'm sold. I was particularly concerned about comfort and palm rest. Adjustable side buttons? Never thought I would need it but it makes sense that its a must have for different hand sizes. This will be my first mouse with side buttons; looking forward to it.

Oooh, been looking for a good MMO mouse for work. I have a Redragon Perdition (super budget brand), but the MMB doesn't work nicely anymore. 12 shortcuts at my thumbtip vs moving my left hand all over the keyboard really helps for productivity.

Man, I had the same problem. Thank you! Saved US 150,00 that i spend when i bought it.

I needed a review like this, I'm really into mouse macros and this really looks like the one that will finally replace my MX8000 Gigabyte mouse. (software was janky but macros were really good on that mouse)

It is super frustrating that the software is not that great for this mouse. iCue software has frozen on update for me a few times now. When the update is interrupted, the program does not work correctly, and the uninstaller also does not work. The last straw was when the software froze and reported me holding down the period key even when the mouse is unplugged. Even after reboot. I could not type in my password. I ended up reformatting windows and threw the scimitar into the junk drawer. I am using a Roccat Nyth atm and I thoroughly enjoy it.

I want to like the Scimitar - But I just can't get over not having a place to rest my thumb, without risking accidentally hitting a key. I'm glad to return to my Harpoon instead.

I only wish the cable was replaceable (seems to be the main issue why my wired mice die) but I guess at this price point I cant complain too much. I was looking for a replacement for my ancient Razer Naga (2014)

How is the resistance on the side buttons? I’m concerned I would accidentally press them with my thumb while gripping the mouse

Well numpad mouse changed my gaming too i got some from logitech that unfortunataly stopped working so now im looking for replacement and my you sold it to me.

Hi ! Thank you so much for this great video ! Noob question here : can you program the settings of the keypad for other programs on your pc like Cubase ? Or it HAS TO work with mmorpg only ? Thank for your reply !

I have a corsair scimitar. Hate the fact that the middle mouse button doesn't have a tilt feature compared to the G600 from Logitech. I've remapped the dpi and rgb buttons to act as the middle tilt, but they're pretty far out of the way and you have to reposition your hand to push them.

Soooo. I took 2 weeks researching this mouse to see how good it is, from reviews and such, and I took so long doing this, by the time I made up my mind to buy it. They are all out of stock EVERY WHERE :(

Honestly try the Rgb NightSword. as an FPS/Dota player, fucking 10/10. Never in my life did I think a mouse could be this perfect.

I love my Corsair Sabre mouse but sadly Icue drives me insane with it's constant bugs. Daily sometimes multiple times it will fail to apply the settings to my mouse and sometimes my mouse wont even register for windows at all:(

Concidering the title, showcasing MOBA gameplay would have been a good idea.

Hey Andy. Comparing this mouse to the naga, which one has the better side buttons ? Heard that on this one it's easier to accidentally press more than on button...

So the rubbery grip is just a grip and not a CTRL modifier like on the Logitech G600?

I wish they released it with the yellow accents like on the last model

I work in technical customer service. I did not originally buy this mouse for that work but I just realized that this mouse will bring my copy paste-game to a whole another level. Those e-mails will now practically write themselves! :D P.S. No, not all of customer´s problems can be solved with a standard answer but a big majority of them can.

Looks like and sounds exactly like the pro with a different name. Unless it does things that even cheap mice like my spare one, the Redragon Perdition, or my old one, the Razer Naga, as in be able to save the full profiles to the mouse so you have no need for the iCue bloatware unless you need to change, and they have made the wheel more robust and less of a dust magnet that causes the button to play up, then its just a Scimitar RGB Pro. Even if it has a sensor upgrade to a higher dpi, that doesn't fix the real problems with these mice (I am on my 3rd thanks to the crappy wheel but I am a fan which is why I still buy them or don't just stick to the Redragon one).

im finking of getting this . i hope it fits my fumb easily too!!

Not sure if anyone's gonna answer but I'll give it a try: Those who have this mouse: How loud are the clicks? I just bought myself a razer naga trinity and I'll probably send it back as the clicks are so loud it drives me crazy...

I'm looking for an excuse to get this to compliment my M65 Ultra and K100 in case I play MMORPGs, but I can't think of any. From my experience these different side buttons are as bothersome to press as keyboard keys, unless you play a slower, old style tab-targeting one with dozens of hotbars maybe.

looks very nice mouse but sorry i love my wireless corsair mouse, will look at this again when they decide to make it a wireless one

Corsair just emailed me about it, I think I’ll get it

I love mmo mouses, they are the best, I can't live without one now. I have a Logitech G600 which i use for a long time and it finally started to get a easy to fix defect, but you know, I love wasting my money, so I'm thinking of buying that mouse instead of fixing my mouse, which woudl take 15 minutes at best.

How big is this compared to the naga? Looking to replace it

Are profile saved on the mouse itself or on the PC?

10/10 would shoplift again.

Does anyone know how to use the side buttons without re-binding them? Effectively just making them extra input buttons?

i've had this mouse and the mouse weel broke pretty fast on me and the left click also started to fail pretty early

I picked this up after my roccat nyth right click finally died. It's amazing how small this mouse is compared to the Nyth and other mmo mice. I like being able to change the position of the keys on the side. The keys themselves are slightly mushy. I'm trying to configure the keys but there is no default num key options? Having to program this is going to be a pain. Speaking of pain my arm and the right side of my hand ache. I guess the Nyth spoiled me. I think this mouse might be going back. I'm going to give it a good try for a couple more days.

There's no scroll wheel tilt?

im thinking of buying this one but im scared for double clicks or right click not holding , the rubber part comming loose of sweaty palms ... can you comfort me this won't happen ?

👑

My favorite mouse!... just need a Bluetooth version of this.

I have the Scimitar Pro, looking for an upgrade but I simply haven't found anything better for my taste. I hope the elite fixed the issues from the previous Scimitar such as the easily breakable scroll wheel (google it up, it was a huge issue for scimitar owners) which happened to me, or the dust accumulation issue in the grooves inside the sensor. I don't play MOBAS nor MMOs, but I use CSP Ex and Blender A lot, since I have a Wacom Cintiq I don't have enough space for a Keyboard so instead of relying on my Keyboard I grab this mouse kinda like a TV remote and mapped all of the shortcuts I need to the Numpad and I draw with the other hand, I've been working professionally like this for 2 years. Edit: I play my FPS games at 8000 DPI, switch to 9000DPI in games such as WT or Il2. It doesn't make sense to some people but this mouse is HEAVY, It's over 147g but the skates are super smooth so going for higher DPIs is a decent choice.

How do people use these buttons accurately in the heat of combat? I know i couldn´t utilize them all perfectly and hence i wish for a version with 3-4 distinct thumb buttons you can macro with a keyboard key. That would be useful.

Looks solid overall but I don't see me replacing my Logitech G600 anytime soon, despite its hardware issues.

This guy sounds like the Corsair sales manager lol.

I’ve been playing with the scimitar series for 5 years and it’s perfect, I don’t even play MMOS I play competitive CSGO primarily, though most people make fun of me for this giant ass mouse 😂

I have the scimitar pro which ive used for years, used the corsair first version before that. My pro, the right mouse button started to fail so i bought a Scimitar elite. I mainly play mmo games and i can't live without the 12 side buttons. However. The elite. The right mouse button is so sensitive that it clicks by just having my finger resting on it. So while scrolling on the internet etc. i constantly press right click and get the right click menu up. The side buttons also feel a lot more sensitive as i kept missclicking them while playing wow. You might say that i just need to get used to it. but ive used this mouse for years. Its no problem with the pro and its the exact same shape and size. So my question is. Is my elite faulty ? is the buttons supposed to be this sensitive that they get depressed by my neighbour letting out a fart ? I can even tense up a bit on the pro without clicking the buttons, but the elite just clicks on its own if i just think about a mouse click

whats the song in the background

How to configure mode sniper DPI with this mouse???

There a gaming mouse other than the naga that enables left and right clicking with the wheel? Not sure if Corsair does this.

Help my ICUE don't have Surface Calibration option.

Ok I'm coming from a G402. Massive? I'd say medium small, also I must have fat thumbs, wish the buttons was a touch bigger

I recently got one since I move slowly from PC to Mac and Razer does not serve Mac-drivers anymore.

hoping someone can help me disable the mouse from waking the computer windows 10. Its greyed out in device manager.

WHO LOOKS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MOUSE AND SAYS "Hmmm that's a very aesthetically pleasing mouse undercarriage!"... Who does that?

Been switching between Scimitar Pro and Logitech G600 for years however, these days I use the Logitech simply because no additional software required. Without iCue software the numpad doesnt function whereas G600 defaults the keys to a standard Numpad. Don't get me wrong, Scimitar is a great mouse and I suspect his one improves it, it's just that iCue tends to be so inconsistent between releases, and Corsair try to pack so much into it that I prefer to go with G600 purely for consistency.

So it is basically the Pro with a different name

I have a cheaper corsair mouse and when the lights are on the mouse gets really warm. :/ .

I'm thinking about replacing my mouse and I'm pretty interested in this one, but my concern is: will the side keypad be a problem if I play some MOBAs or FPS? I'm worried I'll accidentally click the numbers lol

I used razor products for years without really trying different ones like steelseries corsair etc ,Recently my razer products started to see ware and tear,I found that my razer huntsman hand rest started to ware away and both my naga chroma and trinity buttons started to fail on the right mouse button clicking and holding down, I have since got a steerseries KB and a scimitar mouse and the different is night and day. I will never use razer again as these new products are so much better build and more comfortable to use etc.It is also Cheaper win win.

Left tilt= auto run Right tilt= mount up No tilt= pass

I play at 18,000 DPI :P

i have question thos the right click buttun wear and tear like pro? or the fix it?

What if I wanted to play fps shooter?

Still no wireless, still no mouse wheel tilt clicks. For the price its not bad, but the naga pro is honestly better in every way if you can swallow the cost of it.

so this video unfortunately doesnt answer the question i had, i've been using the pro version and that it's build quality is TRASH the scroll wheel sucks and the left mouse button double clicks ALOT after 1 year or so. So i would have like so see if there were any differences from the pro version but i guess ill have to look elsewhere

The mouse is HUGE if you have smaller hands like me beware

18000 dpi is for snipers plays at fps games

I play 18000 dpi

No review of the actual numbpad? Clicking? MOBA dream, huh?

Just ordered one, done with Razer, I’m on my 4th naga in one year… don’t even care if I get free replacements just not worth it anymore

why every one left alone left hand players.. we are desperately waiting MOBA mouse for lefties

Holy Crap. Setting this Mouse up is a pain! Instant refund

the software sucks, the remapping for the g buttons dont even work. ive tried to remap the g buttons to fit certain buttons on my keyboard and it doesnt even register, for non of the remapping options. such sophisticated software for nothing. the mouse is great but the software is ridiculous and there is no use in the mouse if you cant use the damn g buttons that are placed on the side.

MOBA gamers dream but doesn't talk at all about why that is, hmm..

moba gamer's dream? mobas actually don't have so many skills... this is good either for mmorpgs or macro freaks.

Using scimitar pro until now (3 years) and RMA 4 times, left and right click get crazy clicking just only hold 1 click ALL of them, and scroll wheel broken only once, got elite and STILL broken but bit better 1 rma, 3 generation with same broken such idiot product

Left Handed?

So...... after 5 years since the first version release, with 3 version out now, but still no left and right tilt scroll wheel? Thats seem lazy to me, ill pass.

can I make numbers 123456789 and make lets say a 10 button . (dot) with this mouse keyboard?

I never understand people who use these. This is a mouse, a tool for cursor movement. Even if you want more keys you should spread them for other fingers, then you can easier "attach" each action to finger and its movement in your memory. Up to 4 for thumb, 3 for pointer, 2 for middle finger and maybe 1 for 4th finger. Its a matter of muscle memory. Analogy: its easier to use keyboard with one finger buts is much more efficient to use all hand and spread letters to all of them. But keyboard is statick and mouse is in movement, pointing things thus for brain its even harder. And finally, most of the time people dont need additional buttons but reorganisation of existing ones.

This is utter terrible mouse.. How can they refresh a mouse TWO times and all they done is increadse its DPI?!

iv'e heard nothing but horror stories about icue did they fix it by the time you made this video or? sponsored video and you can't talk shit?

AVOID THIS MICE - it's total crap, developed a fault on day 1 =>side button just stopped working!!!!

WARNING you must have the awful iCue software installed - great mouse ruined by iCue - without it running the mouse loses the side buttons !!!!!!!!!!! & iCue can and does cause micro stutters and lag in games regardless of how powerful your pc is. iCUE has to be running for the side buttons to work !!! how ridiculous when the mouse has on board memory !!!! iCUE SUCKS - is ludicrously and unnecessarily complicated to use & is purposefully gimped in its ability yet could be really powerful for those wanting audio / led integration. Thankfully theres an alternative, keep an eye on *SignalRGB* - far easier to use and will eventually have key logging added. it works with corsair and many other manufactuers hardware. *SignalRGB* It enables keyboard/mice etc led to react to audio unlike iCue that only enables corsairs headphones to react to leds - so good luck enjoying seeing those leds flash to music as you WEAR THEM !! MASSIVELY disappointed with the iCUE software - utterly ruins the use of the K95 and Scimitar (and other corsair products) I bought assuming, wrongly, they would be easy, logically and practiclly set up. I dont even see why this gimping is implemented its a negative and benefits no one - corsair dont gain anything from this and nor do we.

So the mouse requires icu to use the side buttons?YIkes.Not downloading that garbage for a mouse.

got it and used it for casual play not using the side much then i used it for 1 day of mmorpg gameplay and the bottom buttons all became jammed, its piece of trash

obviously hasn't used iCue for more than a few days - awful software, misleading review.

Page forward backwards?
