Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless MMO Gaming Mouse: geni.us/yMnq
I've had the original wired version for 7 years now because it's the perfect mouse for me, it fits my hand and has 12 macro keys i can't live without, even more now i use a 60% keyboard so i cant wait to eveb find it in stock where i live.
since i got the k100 keyboard, i can't map the scimitar's side buttons to the numpad for some reason. i've been looking for solutions but nowhere has shown ANYONE using icue v5 and successfully mapping these to the damn numpad. can't get support to help me either
Good vid! I have been wanting this mouse wireless!
quick question... cant seem to use it while plugged in, anyone able to confirm if this is intended?
I have a question how can I make the side button work in the ps5 I know I probably gonna have to get the computer to change the side buttons to work but would it safe the button if u can change it I bought this because it was the one I like the most but I don’t get them to work on the ps5 and I want to learn to play keyboard and mouse but I don’t understand how to get it to work in the games I play and in any other stuff
I wonder if they made the side buttons easier to press in. Used to have the wired version 6 years ago, but after spamming them so much I felt some numbness/discomfort in my thumb.
Does it auto switch between profiles, so i can have different button set up for different games/programs and it will switch to what I'm playing and have the buttons configured for that specific game/program?
Only issue I have with the wired version is the matte coating, side button paint and rubber grip are not very durable and start to wear after about a year of daily use. Looks like this will have the same problem.
does the mouse wheel kinda stop working ? like on the wired one ? all i wanna know.
Did they get rid of one of the middle buttons? There used to be a top half and bottom half
Got the pro in yellow after 3 years of heavy use my left click died
So I got the elite iam pretty satisfied but I loved the yellow colour
Just wondering how good the wireless one is
I used the Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite for over 2 years but now the LMB started doing double clicks just after one year and the scrolling wheel started to make rubber effect where if you are scrolling on a website the page just jumps up and down so I got rid of mouse and currently trying to find a better one.
I had the same problem some ppl have mentioned with the 12 buttons randomly stop functioning during gameplay, I have figured out why it is happening in most games I have.
probably most of you know that but first let me give a small explanation on how icue software works with RGB,
for example, in The Division 2, sometimes you enter hazardous areas where you start losing health without getting shot, for example, in the lab section in the district union arena where the narrator start saying "Airborne toxins is at unsafe levels, Filters failing." and you need to press the button in the ventilation system to start it, also same thing in some floors in The Summit but without having to start ventilation systems.
when it starts to say "Airborne toxins at unsafe levels Filters failing" at this point the icue software and the game are supposed to communicate to change the RGB lights from normal colors to different colors that indicate danger, at this point the icue software fails miserably and the side buttons stop functioning, also if you minimize the game and try to open icue it won't open or it will open with only system sensors without mouse options, in the Division 2 there is an option to turn this feature off but it will keep happen randomly, in other games I couldn't find this option and if you turn it off in the icue software you get 50% less freezes but it will keep occurring.
my 3rd wired one just gor trashed. they haven't lasted.
all 3 over the last 2 years have had double clicking issues.
I quite liked the mouse but after getting 3 and they al had the issue I wont get another one.
Can you assignt x/y mouse click coordinates via a macro?
It would be perfect if they didn't remove the DPI down button and if it wasn't so expensive. Why would you have it removed on the wireless version? Personally I got used to the razer naga that has the extra two mouse buttons on the left side of the left click and also I like the two extra buttons in the middle behind the scroll wheel on the scimitar and on the logitech g600. And even more I like how razer added even more buttons on the naga v2 hyperspeed. More buttons = better both for mmo gaming and for work such as music production, video production, editing, and so on.
I have been using the wired versions of scimitars since it came out. And I have burned through 3 of them. Most of them break some button in around one or two years. Fortunately the latest one broke the middle mouse button (pressing down the wheel), which is not very necessary for me. So I have been using it for 5 years, in which time it has shredded most of the matte coatings as well as paint on the thumb buttons.
But I heard good things about the wireless new one, having better than usual build quality. So I might get it for my next mouse.
How’s this compared to the Razer Naga V2 HyperSpeed?
I just got mine and had a few issues with it. Out of the box, loosening the screw would not let the side buttons move, even though it was fully loosened and spinning in place. I had to press in REALLY hard while loosening the screw to get it to "break" loose by hearing something give inside the mouse, then it started working. My right click also has a ton of wobble and rattle and makes a grinding noise whenever it's clicked. Bummer, because it's a really nice mouse otherwise.
Oh wow that's strange, mine was very easy use with no issues at all. I think you might of gotten a defective one?
Why do none of these mice since the logitech g600 which is now discontinued have a ring finger button? its a great shift button effectively doubling the number of buttons. Any other buttons used as shift key isnt really comfortable.
if those freakishly long reptile fingers are considered "mid-size" hands I must have tiny elf hands, guess I should go work for santa.
hello, where is the battery indicator on the mous located?
Do you know if this is compatible with a mac?
Your reviews are pretty cool.
You're not over hyping products that are good. Just take it out of the box, shake it and show us that build quality. I appreciate that. Great demo.
how much does this mouse weigh?
If they had side mouse wheel buttons to make up for the button they removed and kept the two lighting zones on the wheel and thumb grid it might be worth considering but unless there's a revision to add these missing features back the wired mouse will still be superior.
If Corsair just upgrades their MMO/Moba mice's scroll wheels to be more solid, and gives Scimitar a tilt function, they'll be a top contender in that productivity/rpg/mmo market.
I wouldn'tmind hybrid switch technology either. G502 X may sound awful, but the feel is miles ahead most other optical switches.
I bought this one a few days ago and I have a very hard time getting used to it (coming from a 2014 Razer Naga). The Scimitar is very wide, to the point that my grip on it never feels secure and solid enough. It also compels the hand into a position that makes the mouse sit noticeably tilted to the left (that is: the imaginary middle line running through the middle mouse button and in between the left and right buttons doesn't sit perpendicular to the table edge but is instead left leaning). This feels to me very unnatural in use.
It's very irritating because the product is otherwise solid and the software way better than the equivalent from Razer (I despise Synapse from the bottom of my heart). Still, I believe I'll have to return the product and go back to a Razer model, because these kind of gaming mouses are expensive enough that I don't want to keep a product I'm not entirely happy with...
I've used the wired version for MMO games for the last 5 years. I think Corsair's side button layout is the best for this kind of mouse, so for that reason I love the Scimitar series. However, the scroll wheel on the wired version is notoriously flimsy, imprecise and prone to failure over time. It looks like they've addressed this problem with the wireless version, that scroll wheel looks chunky and way more sturdy. It looks like this wireless version of the Scimitar fixes the two main problems I had with the original: the crappy scroll wheel and the annoying wire!
How well does this mouse work with M-series Macs?
Pretty good, but sadly missing 2nd middle button - which was a very essential productivity button for me.
same here :PPP
Damn that's the only reason I'm not buying this
All mouse companies leave out random features. It's actually crazy this doesn't have left and right click with the scroll wheel.
Darkstar RGB has it but its also more expensive.
I was gonna get this right now but no tilt click on scroll wheel is a instant no
Good review. I think im gonna get this mouse... iv been waiting for logitech to release a wireless G600 for about 5 years but they just wont do it!
Hi, can you clarify if you can use this mouse while charging? Thanks.
Yes you can
Thanks
I've had my original Scimitar for 7 years now and it is still working just like the day I got it. It's my favorite mouse so I've made sure to take care of it. I've been waiting for a wireless version for a long time for my laptop and now it is finally here. I've tried using two versions of the Razor Naga, but they both had issues within a year. I currently am using a wireless Redragon MMO mouse on my laptop and it does the job, but it's no Scimitar. I'm excited to finally get a good wireless MMO mouse!
My Scimitars last about a year or two until the scroll wheel flys up and down when trying to scroll down, youve got very lucky lol
I love my original wired scimitar, shit just quit on me randomly after many years! Time to upgrade to wireless I guess?
can you use it while its charging?
Yes
Has the wireless version resolved the famous mouse wheel problems that the wired one had a lot of times ?
Great question. I heard from Corsair that this had been addressed. You'll also notice the mouse wheel is made of a different plastic and no longer has RGB like the wired one. I receive mine next week and will definitely be posting my findings on reddit if it disappoints.
@@tareekoany updates?
@@sityoassdown9151 thanks for the reminder. It might be too soon, but the elite wireless is perfect!
The scroll wheel definitely feels different and has a different resistance to it. It seems they have actually addressed the issue.
I’ll be sure to come back if any defects come up, but if I dont reply to this comment that means it’s working perfectly.
@@tareeko thanks man! hopefully they release a white one soon or I'd prolly get irked to get a black one instead.
@@tareeko If you would be so kind, any issues with the scroll wheel up to this point?
There used to be 2 dpi toggle buttons, I used for forward and back navigation in browsers and binds in games, why the fuck would they remove one of them, the entire reason I wont buy this, even though ive been using scimitar for many years and have gone through atleast 7 of them
They also removed the lights in front of the thumb grid, the grill on the front of the mouse, and the light in the wheel. Likely for no other reason than to advertise a battery life you'll never hit unless you turn all the remaining lights off and reduce the polling rate to nothing.
I hope they make a yellow version again
Yeah the yellow version is mint.
I can't switch to that 16-button mouse... I'm sticking with the wired one that has 17 buttons 😝
same here I need that 2nd button I use it constantly throughout the day
Corsair NEED to stop referring to the Scimmy as an "MMO mouse", it's such a massive undersell. The side buttons are programmable - you can set them to do damned near anything. Why do they suppose that's only going to be useful to play MMOs?
wireless works when the slider is set to wireless
but when i set the slider to bluetooth the mouse doesnt show up in windows
and the corsair instructions are total garbage and make no sense usualy a bluetooth device has a sync button to hold down
the corsair guide says hold the dpi profile button down which does nothing
I pray for a white version, one day.
as someone who owned and used a scimitar rgb and scimitar pro rgb the build quality on these mice is way too shit to justify +$70 over the base model for just the option of being wireless.
i've had my pro rgb for 7 years and the material has held up well, depends on how much you use your mouse.
It is kinda hard to justify that price when the Redragon m913, Utechsmart Venus Pro or Gamspeed V8 Pro can all be had for much less with almost the same functionality. I'm testing the Gamspeed now to see how it holds up against the big name brands.
Budget brands use worse parts, notably worse sensors and switches @@skorne7682 . But you do you.
@skorne7682 my utech smart wireless is honestly my favorite I've used outside the g600. G600 wireless I'm waiting for but the utech smart Textured plastic is super comfortable and very antisweaty feeling which is fantastic. Mouse clicks also seem to work no matter how you hold it like basically push anywhere past the different shiny plastic peice and it will click. I can't say that about most mice.
Never forget to say weight
no mouse tilt = junk
literally a mouse
there is not gonna be, it is. what a wierd saying. annoying meaningless phrase
is this better than the naga Razer mouse ?
Everything is downgrade compared to Logitech G600 MMO mouse.
No annoying ring finger button, faster wireless, better switches, adjustable side buttons, better grips, arguably better shape and coating, better rgb, better scroll wheel, better sensor, textured buttons, 2000hz polling rate, dongle storage (not like the g600 is wireless in the first place lol, IT EVEN HAS A RUBBER CABLE 🤮), not to mentioned over 400+ bought on Amazon in the past month, people have been really wanting this mouse for a loooooong time, and if Logitech ever had made a G600 wireless, it would cost a good $30 more than the Scimitar wireless, so yeah… totally a downgrade in every way, and make sure to do your research next time 😊
@@THECO0K The g600 also frequently retails for about a third of the price, and many people consider the third mouse button a desirable feature. Also as much as I dislike razer, even the naga v2 hyperspeed wireless is a better value than this new corsair mouse. Charging such prices for mice is a blatant ripoff at this point.
@@THECO0K Faster wireless? LOL, will pretend l never seen this retarded statement.
Better switches? How much better? I have 2 G600, the oldest one is 9 years old. Do I need better switches?
Better grips, better shapes, better coating, better rgb, better sensor, 2000hz arguments goes straight to the trash.
G600 wheel can tilt, that means +2 super convenient extra buttons and it's works without any problems.
And before you open your mouth next time, do research - G600 don''t have "rubber cable".
@@rafflesmaos it's all subjective man I've never comfortably enjoyed any logitech mouse I've owned and while they're decent products, I got the scimitar elite almost 4 years ago now and I can't say I'd use anything else.
I think objectively the Logitech G600 is a better mouse only due to an additional 12 buttons with the ring finger button alone vs any of the others on the market right now so there is more customization for any user to bad they aren’t making it anymore
@kova_tech
hi ! i'm looking for mouse with 12 buttons on left side like this 1 but with super quiet L and R sound clicks, can u recomend soemthing ?
