Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite, MOBA/MMO Gaming Mouse, Black, Backlit RGB LED, 18000 DPI, Optical

Best mouse for mmos

The best

Had to buy an MMO mouse because my old Razer Deathadder is already malfunctioning and I was so into Final Fantasy XIV. The reason I was mentioning FFXIV is because of the game's customizable UI and you can customize your skill bars the same way that the numpad on the side of the mouse had been laid out. It takes a bit of time to learn how to use iCue to setup the mouse but youtube has guides. There's also a learning curve on using in-game skills on the mouse's numpad but once you get over it, it feels like natural to you. The only thing preventing me to rate this mouse as 5 star is because of the mouse's smooth texture that really feels good on my hand but I know would be rubbed off over time and would expose glossy plastic once it does.

Bought this as a gift for my husband. Been using it for more than a month now and says he's happy with it.

More buttons for hotkeys !!!!

Excelente mouse. Al principio pensé que eran innecesarios tantos botones para lo que requiero, pero cambié de opinión. Edito mucho documento de Word y PDF en Google Drive y el Scimitar me hace la vida más fácil; aún no he hecho un perfil para InDesign, pero seguro que también será util. Buena sensación al tacto, materiales de buena calidad, lo único malo es el software que no es muy intuitivo, tardas un poco en familiarizarte con él, pero tampoco es imposible manejarlo.

I was looking for something to replace my 2nd Razer Naga chroma. This is really nice with some good features. A lot of people complain about the software but they clearly havn't had to deal with Razer Synapse 2.0. Synapse sucks, Icue is slightly better. Still not great, but a welcome improvement. The mouse itself is very comfortable and the adjustable buttons are great aswell. The buttons although not as tactile as the naga buttons feel much more solid and require less force to get the input. Which is great because I'm sick and tired of slapping my thumb against my mouse to use an ability. It took a little bit of getting used to, compared to the naga. But once I got used to the feeling of the mouse I like it considerably more. All in all great mouse. Cant speak too much on long term durability since I've only had it now for a few weeks. Update: 2 years later. The mouse is holding up quite well. There are no major blemishes on the surface and I've been using it a lot since I picked it up. I am however, having two issues that are annoying. The first one is the scroll wheel. After about 1 1/2 years the scroll wheel started skipping. Trying to scroll a webpage it would scroll the opposite direction first, before scrolling in the correct direction and sometimes not at all. I will be attempting a fix I've found for that online. The Second issue I've had just started the past week. On occasion when Clicking once, the mouse will register a double click input. As you can imagine, this is super frustrating. From what I've read online this is a switch failure which I've never had an issue with on any other mouse I've purchased. So to wrap up, the Corsair Scimitar was a fantastic mouse, it felt more solid than my previous Naga, however they both only seem to last about 2 years. I really wish someone would make an MMO mouse that you don't have to replace every two years.

So, I've owned 3 of these over the last 7 years. My first purchase of it was at another retailer in 2017 (when I first got into Final Fantasy XIV and wanted an MMO-style mouse) and my second was also from another retailer in 2020. I use one on my desktop and one for my laptop. My desktop one croaked after 8 years of service, and so I bought another one, from Amazon this time (Prime Day Deals, thank goodness). Pros 1. Good weight. Not too heavy, not too light (for me at least). 2. Lighting is nice without being overbearing. 3. Works with iCue without any issues. 4. I use mine for productivity and work, so I actually do use the profiles on iCue, and being able to swap from gaming to productivity with a button press (with different lights to tell me what profile I'm using) is supremely useful. 5. Scroll wheel feels good. Nice weight, dampened clicks. Feels premium (I've opened it up, it's not, but it feels good). 6. Good clicks and the side buttons are easy for my thumb to reach and hit. 7. The side number pad was very good for intermediate-level MMO play. I ended up doing a funky hotkey setup for endgame that used mostly my keyboard, but the mouse did good for the original purposes I bought it for. Cons 1. It's not easy to clean. The rubber parts get grimy with human hand oils n such, and rubber is just rough to clean anyway, especially with the triangle texture. In any case, for my level of gaming and productivity, these are virtually perfect. When my 8-year old one bit the dust, I immediately bought another and set it up the same way as the one that croaked, and I'll probably keep buying them until Corsair stops making them. There are better mice for specific applications, but this one fits me and what I do no problem.
