Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless SE MMO PC Gaming Mouse 33 000 DPI 16 Programmable Buttons Key Slider Elgato

This is more of a "first impressions" review right now, and there's no immediate red flags. I'll update this later once I've put some hours in with it. Off the jump, this mouse feels amazing in my hand. I have pretty big hands, and I'm coming from a Logitech G600 for comparison. The Scimitar is around the same size? It's slightly longer top to bottom, and slightly narrower side to side, but my hand still rests very comfortably on the mouse. It's noticeably lighter than the G600, too, which is great for FPS gaming. There's a screw on the bottom of the mouse with an included allen key to let you adjust the position of the 12-button panel so you can adjust your thumb's reach. Super nice idea, but when you loosen the screw, the panel moves way too loosely, so you have to hold it in your hand firmly while tightening the screw with your probably non-dominant hand. To make matters worse, the included allen key is not quite the right size for the screw, so it skips while you're tightening it back down. (And no, I'm not over-tightening it - it's still able to move very loosely at that point!) That aside, it feels very good in the hand and very responsive. I don't notice any drop outs or latency, and the included USB A to C cable is very high quality. If you care about Linux compatibility, then I'm happy to report no issues thus far. (I have not and will not download the Corsair software to customize the mouse at all, so no comments on that. If you care about that, then try it at your own risk.) Read more

I've owned too many of these. Sadly, they're the best MMO mouse out there for me since I'm an old gamer and need the thumb adjustment for the side numerical keypad to allow my gnarled arthritic hands to function in game properly. I've had two previous models fail due to sudden connection failure and mouse wheel issues. I figured fine, I'll try this new SE version in white. When iCue is painstakingly, annoyingly set up correctly and all its bizarre UI foibles deciphered, the mouse is successfully connected (no guarantee there) and battery charged up, it's great. The performance and functionality is great. It's smooth, fast, highly adjustable, fits my hand better than others except for the insane, mystifying textured flared pinky 'rest' on the right forward bottom edge. What the heck were they thinking, there? OK, that's the good part. The bad: Connectivity using the dongle is very, very short-range. You can't even have the dongle on the opposite side of a LAPTOP without it stuttering/skipping, let alone off on a USB hub somewhere or, even worse, your desktop on the floor or something. Also bad: Battery life is ridiculously poor. I've got it set to 2 minutes sleep time and even with occasional use it lasts maybe three days or so before requiring a recharge, and it gives no notification the battery is getting low - you have to check the abominable iCue app or pop up the taskbar group icons. There's also problems with having to re-pair the mouse after having used it for months - it will suddenly no longer pair with the PC or iCue, and naturally the pairing process is a pain to do. I'd honestly just look for something that offers similar functions. Read more

To me this Corsair mouse is great value for the money if you can catch it on sale like I did. This of course is a gaming mouse, but it can be used very well for productivity as well. I like that the mouse has a slider for the side buttons. That was an issue I'd have with prior MMO style mice is that depending on the size of your hand you may not be able to reach all the side buttons. With this mouse having the option to slide side buttons forward or back some fixes that issue and helps make the mouse even more comfortable. Read more

It's a wireless mouse, so battery life usually depletes fast. However, it's the fact that there's no indication, that irritates me more. I've had too many times where the battery would wipe itself and the mouse stops working. Other than that though, it's a fine mouse. Only get it on sale though. Read more

This mouse is perfect if you're looking for the integration with Steam Deck. Surprisingly, I use this more for productivity with work than I do for gaming. Although you still need to have the iCUE software running in the background, it is still so much easier to configure hotkeys and macros in Steam Deck. It is also really nice that it fully charges in 90 minutes. I often forget to turn it off at night, so it is really convenient for it to recharge quickly. Read more

I was hoping to replace my Razer Naga with this mouse but the quality for the price is just not there. It small, and does not fit the hand like a a few other MMO mouses, and it doesn't come with anything to adjust the weight like the others. Even the much cheaper Redragon mouse has that. I can't recommend this mouse for this price, it feels cheap, and it's small. The only pros I can think of is the software is great, the battery life is good, and its accurate. If it had more options, like hand extensions for palm grip and weights it might be worth the money. As is this is a $36 mouse being sold for $100+ For those reason I can't give it more than three stars. My advice is get the Redragon wireless mmo mouse and save yourself a lot of money. I have no affiliation to any company, this is just my personal experience with these MMO mouses. I've owned them all over the years and I am always looking for the best option for a decent price. The Razer Naga V2 for $84 would also be a better options than this. Corsair has to get realistic with their pricing. Their name recognition does not entitle them to sell cheap products for premium prices. Sure their software is good, but people expect good, well built products with physical customization for this price. Read more
