So far, so good
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.)

Love this mouse.
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).Pros1. 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.Cons1. 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.

Great mouse once you turn down the polling rate
First thing you do is turn down the polling rate in iCUE to 500hz or lower, 1000hz tends to cause more issues like double clicks, mouse wheel issues, and tracking errors.That aside, this has been a great mouse. It’s wide, perfect for big hands. It’s decently weighty (could be heavier for my taste) yet glides smoothly on a desk mat. The 12 side buttons are fairly easily accessible with enough trigger pressure to prevent most accidental clicks while not being difficult to press. The Corsair iCUE software is responsive and easy to use to assign your desired macros and lighting, and it can store 3 profiles on the device itself for when you don’t have iCUE running. It also uses the same unified iCUE software that every other Corsair component does.

Purchased in June 2022, January 2025 now and it’s still going strong.
Purchased in June 2022, January 2025 now and it’s still going strong. Compared to my wife’s mouse whose “G6” broke off of her Logitech G604 after only a week of light use, I’d say that’s a pretty good deal.I play WoW and use the mouse buttons for my rotation. What does that mean for non-WoW players? It means I smash these buttons thousands of times per gaming session, and I game every day.It’s a great mouse and in hindsight I never expected it to last so long with how I use it. I’m actually only here because my wife now wants one too, so I figured I’d spread the good word.So yeah, excellent build quality, very tough, and if I had to criticize one thing it would just be the iCue software. Sometimes it just deletes itself randomly and that’s kinda annoying, but I just keep the installation exe in my download folder and use that to fix it, so it’s a quick and easy thing to rectify.I honestly can’t recommend any other mouse so if you’re here and reading this, Corsair SCIMITAR is the way to go. And no, I’m not being paid for this review but hey, if you’re reading this too Corsair, hmu, I wouldn’t mind having a backup mouse just in case lol

Lo amo absolutamente. Es justamente el mouse que necesitaba. Soy diseñador y lo uso para programas en Cad. El programar los números me ha hecho más eficiente y me ha ayudado a dejar de usar las dos manos en gran medida para mejoría de mi postura.Es de buena calidad el material. El único tema que tuve fue con la instalación de los drivers al bajar la aplicación pero logré solucionarlo. Sin duda compraría otro pero para eso espero que pase mucho tiempo.

Very good mouse so far. Mine came opened and used though! I called them about it and said they needed an expert and to call another day. I kept the unit because it was not used extensively and couldn’t be without that mouse for days until I got a replacement, so watch out.

It’s a good mouse, been using it for a couple months now and my only complaint is when you reboot your pc, it takes a while for the mouse to remember your settings. It is a tad on the heavy side.
Cliente de Amazon –
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.
