CORSAIR SCIMITAR ELITE RGB WIRELESS MMO Gaming Mouse - 26,000 DPI - 16 Programmable Buttons - Up to 150hrs Battery - iCUE Compatible - Black

ICUE DOES WORK -At the time of this writing there is only one other review posted and it says ICUE does not work. That it false. To be fair, the mouse did not register for me in ICUE at first, either. But the cause is fairly obvious. They are using an old version of ICUE... from before this mouse even existed. Literally all you need to do is update the software. I attached screenshots proving it shows up and works, along with what software revisions they are on right now. Yeah, that's it... just update your software. There is a button in the corner.For the mouse itself, it is ALMOST identical to the old wired version. There are a few minor aesthetic downgrades. For some reason they removed the RGB in the mouse wheel, plus the light in front of the side buttons is gone too. Also, it has one less button on the top, behind the mouse wheel. The fit and feel is the same.I would certainly be happier without those random minor downgrades, but they are super minor and the upgrade of FINALLY having a wireless version of this mouse is 100% worth it. I love this mouse and have been on the lookout for a wireless version for years. It is the best MMO mouse, and now finally wireless.

I purchased the Corsair Scimitar mouse primarily for my engineering workflow, which heavily involves AutoCAD, Revit, and Bluebeam. After extensive daily use, I can confidently say it's one of the best productivity enhancements I've added to my workstation.The mouse is ergonomically designed and fits comfortably in my hand, reducing strain during long drafting and design sessions. The adjustable thumb keypad is extremely beneficial, allowing me to quickly execute macros and shortcuts specific to AutoCAD and Revit commands. Tasks that previously required multiple keyboard inputs now happen seamlessly with a single thumb click, significantly boosting my productivity.The clicks are precise and have a satisfying tactile feedback—crisp without feeling harsh or fatiguing. The responsiveness makes precise selections in Revit or detailed markups in Bluebeam smooth and intuitive. The build quality feels solid, durable, and suitable for intensive, professional use.However, configuring the mouse through Corsair’s iCue software was initially a bit cumbersome. While visually polished, iCue’s learning curve is steeper than Logitech’s more straightforward alternatives. That said, once the setup is complete, the software works reliably, automatically switching profiles based on the active application, a feature I find particularly useful moving between CAD, PDF markups, and other software.Overall, despite the initial software hurdles, the Corsair Scimitar has become an essential part of my engineering workflow. It significantly reduces repetitive actions, saves time, and enhances my comfort during extended periods of technical work. Highly recommended for engineers, architects, and anyone whose daily tasks involve complex software shortcuts.

While I want to give this mouse a 5 start review their is a fatal flaw in its build quality that will come back and haunt you. Initially this mouse is great and will survive and perform great over several hours of game play. But after a bit of breaking in the scroll wheel will start scrolling the incorrect direction and taking erratic inputs. This is not something that can be fixed by software and is a hardware level issue. If this mouse didn't have that issue it would be amazing but it looks like cost cutting ruined what would have been an amazing device. I would recommend avoiding this product unless you like gambling with your gaming equipment.

I've had the wireless version for about a week now and it's noticeable that you need to press the left and right click with a bit more finger power compared to the wired version, I didn't like it at first but by now I've gotten used to it.The battery life is great for long hours of gaming.I just wish that on the icue software it would show the percentage of battery life.I only use the usb wireless receiver when using the mouse and one problem that happens every few hours is that while in game, for a second the mouse cursor skips/blinks around where I'm trying to move the cursor.Not sure if that has to do with battery life but when I check icue for the battery status it's good on charge.Hopefully updates fix this.Overall I'm happy with the wireless version so far.I'm hoping that the durability of the L + R clicks and mouse wheel will last much longer than the wired version.The wired version would usually last me about 6-8 months before they become barely usable.Update Oct 5 2023As of now, I returned the mouse and got it replaced, hoping that my mouse was defective because of the reoccurring mouse cursor problem where randomly the mouse cursor would spas out and not follow my movement. Bummer.This is still a problem with the new mouse I just got replaced.I will update this review again if a future software update fixes this problem.

It works as it should. Glides smoothly on the desk, pairs easily, and it's so comfortable! Durable for gaming. Click to your heart's desire. The buttons on the side are great for some games that use them. I rarely charge it because the battery lasts a LONG time. I'm actually thinking about buying another one for work.

This mouse instantly connects whenever you so much as move it. Insane. However im taking away 2 stars because the software is doo doo. The reddragon mmo mouse is better honestly tho its cheaper and has a slightly better software.
