"I save so much time by using it's 12 buttons as common shortcuts and phrases while programming"
"ease of pressing the right buttons for strict WoW use"
"2 going on 3 years with no issues whatsoever ... use the side buttons for the bulk of my rotation so I've smashed those buttons probably tens of thousands of times if not more. ... The thing is a tank."

"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."

"it just never felt comfortable in my hand. ... ultimately I did not find it comfortable. ... I have smallish hands and couldnt get my grip to feel good."
"Yeah it’s definitely chunky, which is perfect for me personally but if you have smaller hands it might not be great."
"The Scimitar is pretty bulky."

"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."
"it broke within 6 months."

"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"
"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..."

"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."
"You **will** experience the mouse wheel fucking up (registering up scrolls as down and downs as ups on some of the clicks)"

"I use the software to configure the side buttons and it won't save the profile. ... I think I eventually got it to save a profile but if I closed the software, everything would reset to default. ... So I'd have to reconfigure the buttons every time I turn on my computer. ... I googled this and it's a common issue people have with the Corsair software."
"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."
"Corsairs MMO mouse sucked ass. ... Kept having weird software problems."
ardalanos 1.0I use a scimitar where i have some mix feelings about. I like the design and fact u can adjust where your thumb rests on the 12 buttons. But the coating is subpar imo. The rubber gets very grimy over time where it think a more solid plastic shell would've been nicer. Have also looked around for replacement shells/keys but can't find any. Still kinda baffled there haven't been any sleek new mmo mice designs with a 12 side button layout aside from the razer mice
Arsys_ 1.0Corsair Scimitar pro, I was so impressed when I upgraded to this one that I bought an extra one.
beck_is_back 1.0I use Corsair Scimitar pro and I'm loving it! Got bigger hands so really appreciate movable 12 button side panel.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm preparing to replace mine too as the scroll wheel issue is starting to show it's ugly head. Definitely will be going with the same mouse though - it's perfect for me!
Briffy03 1.0I had a mmp7 from cyborg that was awesome, but it died, then the logitech one, didnt really like it, switched to a scimitar pro when it came out 10+ years ago. Loved it, but ended up dead after around 8000hours of mmo and fps. Tried the naga, hated it and ended up buying a scimitar again. As long as this one still exists i'll use it. If one day its discontinued i'll buy one or 2 just incase
Cak2u 1.0I love this mouse, seriously way more comfortable in my hand than any other MMO mouse I've used. I've went through two of them though, because the mouse wheel scroll eventually starts to degrade. You'll be scrolling through a web page and it will jitter up and down several notches as you scroll. Its bearable at first and just gets worse until its unusable. I've taken them apart to try cleaning the wheel, oiling it, all the stuff I found online but the ultimate fix is always replacement. After burning through two of them, I'm over it lol. Otherwise, they were excellent and comfortable mice.
Cirque99 1.0I enjoy the Corsair Scimitar Pro 12 button. I’ve been using mine for years without issue, and I enjoy iCUE as a software for programming any Corsair products. I played my whole FFXIV play through with it, and I liked it so much, I even bought one for my laptop.
Dimac99 1.0I had been given a Steel Series Sensei as a present when GW2 came out and I actually played ele with it for the first few years. Hard to imagine now! I knew I needed one of these mythical mmo mice but the price was insane. £100 for a MOUSE? I nearly fainted when I found out what my brother paid for the SteelSeries and that was just 'normal'. When my second Sensei was on its last legs, (I had replaced the first with the SteelSeries Guild Wars 2 tie in version) I got one of the cheap Redragon ones and it was a game changer, as you've learned. Way too heavy for me, ultimately, but it did persuade me to bite the bullet on a proper one. I went with the Corsair Scimitar, because of the movable keypad as I have very small girl hands. Yes, the software has been quite a pain over the years, I used to regularly have to unplug and replug the damn thing because it wouldn't be recognised on startup, but I realise I've not had any iCue issues in a very long time now. (Touch wood.) I guess when things work they become invisible. I honestly think at this point I'd have to give up the game if I couldn't get another Scimitar.
As a very small woman with very small hands, I also recommend the Corsair Scimitar Pro. That movable side panel is awesome and the reason I won't be changing brand. It genuinely suits everyone, ergonomically. I've not had any scroll wheel issues, but I am a bit of a button masher and my 1 button takes quite a bit of punishment, along with the LMB, so I have had to replace my Scimitar (with another) in the past, but I really consider that a user issue.
IBarcher 1.0I've scrolled through these comments for too long. Where is the love for the corsair scimitar pro? Do people not use 12 button mice anymore? Is there some issue with this mouse I'm unaware of?? I've had a few of these (maybe the issue) and they're great.
jkwish 1.0Corsair Scimitar PRO RGB, thank me later. [SCIMITAR PRO RGB Optical MOBA/MMO Gaming Mouse — Black](https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/gaming-mouse/ch-9304311-na/scimitar-pro-rgb-optical-moba-mmo-gaming-mouse-a-black-ch-9304311-na)
MvatolokoS 1.0Corsair scimitar pro wired All time best mouse if you don't want the thumb pad just disable it and it's still the most comfortable mouse ive used and lasts forever. I have my original replacement still working and that only replaced my last one due to spills sticking the buttons.
