"Yeah it’s definitely chunky, which is perfect for me personally"
"You can also move the side button panel on the Scimitar to match your hand size and comfort (its biggest selling point)."
"The great thing about this mouse is the side button panel is adjustable for different size hands. ... yeah you can move the panel forward or back. I have mine all the way back or I would never be able to reach buttons 1-3 otherwise."

"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."
"Works fine tbh ... Once you get it setup, you're pretty much good."

"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"
"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."

"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"
"The Scimitar buttons also didn't feel as good as the Naga"

"And the iCue software is a mess. ... Mutiple times it broke completely and I could only fix it by doing a complete reinstall. ... While that seems fixed, now it just refuses to launch on startup."
"i really love my corsair scimitar but i have a huge problem with iCue due to the fact that it wont auto-start and then my mouse wont switch programs when I start specific games :/ ... Really love the mouse but hate the program xD A reason why i'd like to switch..."

"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"

"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."
"Replaced 2 times because of scroll wheel in their warranty (so no cost to me but still). ... the mouse wheel broke consistently. ... the mouse wheel broke every time after using it the same amount as the Naga. ... I had the Scimitar replaced twice within Corsair's normal warranty on it and that was always the issue."
"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."
bigbillyplays 1.0[BEST MMO MOUSE](https://amzn.to/3TW7vJH) I have used just about every MMO mouse on the market and the only one that fits my hand comfortably is the Corsair Scimitar. The other ones I have tried felt too small in my hand and also a little flimsy. Link to the wireless one my wife and I both use.

mgsmus 1.0[Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless MMO Mouse](https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/gaming-mouse/ch-9314311-na/scimitar-elite-wireless-mmo-gaming-mouse-ch-9314311-na) I used the wired version for years. I got it when it first came out. Then, when the wireless one was released in 2023, I bought it right away and have been using it without any issues for two years. It's the best MMO mouse I've used so far, but it's expensive. I don't think I can switch to anything else since my hand is now used to its numpad.
You're right, although the software is lighter than before, it still has issues. Since my RAM, liquid cooler, and ambient lighting are all Corsair, having a Corsair mouse gives me the advantage of managing everything with a single software. That's why I can overlook some of the bugs.
pepiopi2 1.0I moved to this as well after my 3rd g600 broke and they stopped making them
Such-Community-29 1.0I moved on to the scimitar elite wireless. It has a better sensor, adjustable numpad and wireless. Ever since they removed the macro capability off the g600's Onboard memory, it useless to me now since I use mine for productivity.
0rphu 0.5Weight doesn't really matter much if all you do is non-competitive games, but I play a mix of most game genres and after switching from a scimitar (corsair's mmo moise) to a lightweight deathadder I don't think I can go back. My aimlabs score on multiple tests improved by like 20-30%. The deathadder with the AA battery is a good bit heavier I think
Beanakin 0.5I bought a Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless several months ago and it's doing well so far, but it's the first mouse I've ever had with more than 2 buttons on the thumb side as extras. I like that the position of the number keys under the thumb can be adjusted backward and forward, but if I make it so the farthest forward keys are comfortable then the farthest back keys are kinda awkward to hit and vice-versa. I heard the same about the Logitech when I first started looking to get an MMO mouse and was bummed to find out it had been discontinued.
ComfortableApricot36 0.5I have a schimitar wireless and its good super happy about it
Current-Swordfish811 0.5Corsair scimitar wireless for Tibia, Logitech G PRO wireless for other games Once you go wireless you never go back
fullmetalalchymist9 0.5Got the Corsair Scimitar wireless had the OG for years and years. Love it never had any problems. Use it with WoW, Guild Wars 2, FFXIV. It's been great.
gothnate 0.5Corsair Scimitar wireless for me. Great mouse!
