Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite Mouse Review
Corsair's Scimitar RGB Elite Mouse is aimed squarely at MMO and MOBA players, both needing a breadth of inputs to adequately play their games. So how does the mouse fare in that regard?
Comments
Because real gamers don't use wireless.
5 years ago yeah I would agree, but tech has improved and response time and battery life have improved so much that the only thing keeping most people out of wireless is price. Logitech makes powerplay mat which is a mouse pad that powers the mouse wirelessly with no batteries, but again for a mouse and mat that is like $300.
Most MMO players only use these for emotes lol. I've tried tying my combat skills to a mouse like the G600, and it was terrible so I went back to keyboard layout and using the mouse buttons for mounts and dodge rolls. Maybe it's because I have big hands and fingers, but missing or pressing the wrong button happened too often.
No thumb wrest. I would stick with the g602 or get the g604. As a side note, this mouse has been revised 3 or 4 times now since it launched a few years ago. Corsair tends to launch stuff, then a year later when stuff breaks they relaunch the improved version for $10 more while not honoring warranties. You are paying to beta test their crap. I went from Logitech to Corsair, then back to Logitech as Corsair has terrible support.

Yeah that is a great one. I'm currently using the G600 and love it. They are like 35 bucks on Amazon now. I do miss the smaller size of the Naga though.
After experiencing a thumb rest feel might not want to use one without.
Red Dragon has a thumb rest Logitech 600 doesn't either
I bought this which was cheap and works good too. It is UtechSmart Venus
EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests
The Nagas were nice to use but 2 of them died after only a few months, the third I gave to a friend when I got my first Scimitar.
The G600 was a really well built mouse but it was just too wide, could only use it an hour or so before my hand started to ache.
Both the Scimitars are going strong, the original served a couple years as my desktop mouse and is now my laptop mouse when I need one and the Pro has been my desktop mouse for a year+. Only complaints I've had were the side pad doesn't default to 1 through =, you have to set up macros, and the side pad's buttons aren't quite as easy to tell apart compared to the later Nagas and the G600.
The Scimitar is definitely my favorite of the MMO mice.
It look like this new mouse is the same as the previous Scimitars but with an upgraded sensor.
g604 is the new g602. Not bad mouse tbh and it takes one AA battery that lasts months. No crazy RGB, it's almost the perfect mouse. I may pick it up when the price drops a bit more.
My current one is the G502 (which also does have a thumb rest) and its 9 programmable buttons are impossible to activate accidentally:
It's also not all thumb: 3 buttons are thumb, 2 are index finger (just the outer edge of the index finger while you continue to hold the LMB or not) and 4 are middle finger.
The 600 series gets all the Logitech hype but I much prefer the "lower end" 500 series.

I just bought one of those on sale. It's a nice mouse but kinda smallish compared to the old G5 that it replaced in the lineup. I'll see if I can get used to it, if not I'll pick up a g604
I had a g15 KB, but sadly the paint on the keys wore off in a few years. I later found after giving up on complaining to logitech that they recalled the first gen of those after thousands of complaints. I replaced it with a G710+ by that time, which I'm still using today. I won't buy a new one till it dies. 5 years still looks new and going strong *knock-on-wood.
I cannot really tell you about its durability. Have had it about a year. Is it Chinese? I tried to check where this company is from but it looks like Google or what I can find has no indication of where this company was incorporated and operates from. But most products are made in China anyway.

Then I moved on to the 17 key ones. I had one mouse also Logitech that you could nudge the scroll button on the mouse left and right and add two more skill on that too. It was god like.
Edit: Yeah it was this mouse that had the two side scroll keys. What a gem this was.
