"it has 12 fully programmable and macro able buttons right on your thumb and really makes rotation a breeze and most of the time lets me play one handed."

"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."

"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."
"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."
"the scroll wheel on my scimitar starting having issues only 3 months in. ... Corsair wanted me to pay them to ship it back to them to fix, which didn't seem worth it when I've read others did that and starting having issues again."

"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"
"Icue is so shit. ... But god forbid trying to reset up your bindings or trying to save them sometimes. ... So unintuitive. ... The worse ui I've used out of all the mice I've had over the last 20 years. ... Having to do macros for everything was stupid. ... I could never get the onboarding memory to work right either."
"The iCue software it requires is the worst thing installed on my computer ... an aberrant resource hog that barely functions"

"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 had 6 of those break in the *exact* same way"

"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."
"their software is trash ... the Scimitar has a history of problems with its binds being reset ... refusing to connect to the software"
"Until it randomly decides to forget your side button mapping and you have to set it up again ... It’s happened maybe 5-10 times in as many years using 2 different scimitar’s."

"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."
"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."
"60% of the buttons feel uncomfortable for my hand to reach, even with the adjustable slider."
