"Saving the profile to the mouse memory fixes this. ... Then you can use it in any computer and it just works. ... I don’t even run the icue software anymore. ... You still initially save it through icue, but you use one of the 3 hardware spots on the actual mouse. ... Iv’e gifted 3 of these to friends who play with me, I opened each mouse and saved a profile so they wouldn’t have to mess with it. Plug them in and it’s ready to go."
"The best thing you can do is load the profile directly to the house's memory and then never launch icue again. Just a 1 time setup and then uninstall"
"Works fine tbh ... Once you get it setup, you're pretty much good."

"their software is literally a piece of steaming dog shit. ... It's completely broken for me, I can't uninstall it ... it broke all the sound from my pc with a windows restoration being the only solution. ... Now I have to use the mouse as is, without any settings or macros. ... So first the software stopped working, couldn't recognize my mouse from one minute to the next. No settings work, can't change buttons. ... after deleting the software I got no sound. All my sound drivers were intact and everything, but no sound at all. ... So now I just have the useless broken iCue taking up space on my pc, and the program looks like a GPU glitch when opened, only that program. ... It's the most horrendous piece of software I've ever had the unfortune to install. ... I've literally had pc viruses that were easier to get rid of. ... the program forces me to update. And I can't uninstall to begin with."
"My scimitar would randomly "unplug/replug" itself (Windows USB sound would play) ... and then it would forget all custom keybinds until I rebooted...often in the middle of a key. ... I chucked it out the window after a year of pain"
"my scroll wheel broke on the scimitar too :( ... the scroll wheel and software suck"

"Please avoid the Corsair Scimitar normal or Elite, they have a know flaw related to the scroll wheel, it brakes so easily ending up clicking but not rolling. ... I have 3 of them in my electronic graveyard drawer."
"my scroll wheel broke on the scimitar too :( ... the scroll wheel and software suck"
"Lubricating the scroll wheel fixed all my broken mice. ... I even pulled one I thought was toast forever out of the closet and put it back in service. ... Brought two of my scimitars back from the junk drawer."

"had it twice, both times broke in under 6 months, don't want to ever buy it again"
"mine ultimately failed because of the common issue that happens due to the plastic they use for the top housing being softer than the switches they use on the left / right click so as you continue to use it eventually the switch indents the plastic and it stops actuating."

"Yeah it’s definitely chunky, which is perfect for me personally but if you have smaller hands it might not be great."
"Only downside about it for me is that it has no removable weights and is on the heavier side, so it doesn’t perform as well when playing shooters, but that’s a small issue for me."
"it was just too heavy a mouse for me"

"The bottom row of buttons on the Scimitar, notably buttons 1 and 4, are way too close to the base of the mouse. ... There is only a few millimeters of space between the base of the mouse, meaning your finger is almost always dragging on your mouse pad. ... It feels uncomfortable hitting them."
"I also found the side buttons to be too "flush" with each other ... I also found the numbers on the side to be too flush with each other, making it easy to misclick or click multiple buttons at once"
"the buttons are in an very awkward position if you try to use anything past the first 2 columns ... If you move the numpad forward then the first buttons are hard to reach. If you move the numpad backward then the last buttons are hard to reach"
