I 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

Corsair Scimitar pro, I was so impressed when I upgraded to this one that I bought an extra one.

I 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!

I 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

I 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.

I 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.

I 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.

I had the same mouse, redragon m908, it was good, but buttons are a little bit tiny. After abusing it on rotations, sometimes one of the buttons would not register, but it still works after all the years I had it. I changed to Corsair Scimitar Pro, buttons are bigger and so far had no problem. Redragon however wins on price and ergonomics, but that's of course personal preference. Also redragon has weights so you can adjust the weight, I've put all of them in as I dislike lightweight mice and I wish Scimitar had that option too.
