Requiring the CUE software to be installed on each PC
Abstract: With MMOs and in particular the Dota-inspired MOBA games such as League of Legends gaining in popularity every year, it's no surprise that peripheral manufacturers are designing products to appeal to this expanding market. Corsair's MMO-focused mouse, the...
Full RGB over four color zones, Fully customizable button actions via CUE software, Color scheme synchronization between products (when applicable), Adjustable fit for macro button pad placement, Smooth gliding and wellbuilt
Software has a few snags – easily fixed with future update?
In the end I'm actually quite impressed with the Corsair Scimitar. I'm not a MMO/MOBA gamer as I've already honestly admitted, but I still like the extra buttons (even if I don't need all of them). The mouse is built with good quality and feels like it is...

Almost Everything
Claw Grip Users Will Need To Get Used To It
As far as gaming mice go, the Scimitar is among the best I've ever had the pleasure of testing. It's sharp, sexy, and offers the best possible performance in a gaming mouse. If it came down to appearance, or even raw performance, alone the mouse would eas...
Infinite programming ability with the 12 side buttons, Super-accurate tracking, Classy design,
Pretty expensive, Hefty weight, Might be too wide for some,
The Scimitar RGB Elite works an absolute treat for MOBA and MMO gamers thanks to its 17 programmable buttons. In addition, the ergonomic design ensures it's delightfully comfortable and the 18,000 DPI sensor makes it super responsive.At £75 it's a very ex...

Do you spend all day kick butt in PVP and needing precision macros and taunt emotes within instant reach? Then this is a real powerhouse peripheral for you. Plus, if you also spend all day working in Premier or Photoshop and need to trick shortcuts and ma...

In this test of 37 models there are only a few mice that left us with the thought 'you definitely do not want to purchase that one'. There are a lot of similarities, but there are also some models that stand out or simply perform slightly better than the...

Extremely comfortable over long periods, World class, 12,000 DPI optical gaming sensor (Pixart ADNS s3988), Fantastic lighting and great back end software, Additional buttons provide all the extra function you will ever need, Mechanical switches and adjus
Thumb drags when pressing lowest buttons, Big keypad may be difficult for some to press everything, May be a bit heavy for some.
The Corsair Scimitar is truly an exceptional mouse. It combines high-comfort, with one of the world's best gaming optical sensors and extreme functionality with a suite of available, remappable buttons. You may not have a use for all of them, but the opti...
Excellent build quality, Great aesthetics (including customisable full RGB lighting), Adjustable keypad position, Mechanical switches used for thumb buttons, Zero acceleration
Questionable performance at max DPI, Keys need to be remapped before assigning in game, Buttons aren't as tactile as they could be, Not so great for claw grip
Corsair join the MMO mouse group at quite a competitive price point, falling directly in line to compete with the current Razer NAGA and the Logitech G600. Though the Scimitar offers a wide variety of features, including the Key Slider and full RGB lighti...
