"With the Naga I map the center button on the bottom row to shift. ... And with that I can roll my thumb up, left, or right and get another three keybinds. ... And just having shift there also lets me press that for shift, instead of my left pinky. One less thing for my left hand to do. Makes Shift+4 while moving and jumping easier. ... This gives me ready, instant access to the entire hotbar. And with shift, an entire second hotbar (excepting shift+7 and shift+9)."
"Macros will let that be enough to play even a druid in all forms with every spell being useable. ... And this is without stopping movement to reach and without any annoying left pinky stretch ever being required."
"Only the Naga let's me assign shift to one of the middle row buttons, then easily roll my thumb left and right to get shift4 or shift6 from just my thumb."

"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 side buttons didn't give enough feedback to be spammed, they were far too squishy, so I sent them back."
"My only complaint is I wish the side buttons textures were a bit more distinct or were angled slightly more"
CantStopMeRed 1.0I have the wired version and enjoy it. It’s comfortable to use and responds well. The buttons on the thumb allow for a lot less keyboard memorizing
cjewell77 1.0I have always used Scimitar rgb. I have used this since wow 2004. There are higher priced ones but this works great for me. It takes time for you thumb to feel out where the buttons are [https://www.bestbuy.com/site/corsair-scimitar-rgb-elite-wired-optical-gaming-mouse-with-17-programmable-buttons-wired-black/6393997.p?skuId=6393997&ref=212&loc=19718098496&gad\_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAtYy9BhBcEiwANWQQL1PzRpPh8eztTgMUn36rM1P08QmxEyK4JfJdPFfKfUTRiyo3BN9nJxoCgnMQAvD\_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/corsair-scimitar-rgb-elite-wired-optical-gaming-mouse-with-17-programmable-buttons-wired-black/6393997.p?skuId=6393997&ref=212&loc=19718098496&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAtYy9BhBcEiwANWQQL1PzRpPh8eztTgMUn36rM1P08QmxEyK4JfJdPFfKfUTRiyo3BN9nJxoCgnMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)
czernoalpha 1.0I got one of these: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/gaming-mouse/ch-9304211-na/scimitar-rgb-elite-optical-moba-mmo-gaming-mouse-ch-9304211-na Best decision ever.
Darksirius 1.0I use Corsair's Scimitar RGB Elite MMO mouse. Good shape, decent weight. And the side buttons are super useful. I'll bind the side button for any game I play. FPS? Reload, jump, duck, inventory, map (leans if the game has it) all on the mouse.
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.
I got a backup too! It was on sale at what I considered and unmissable price but my 2nd is still going strong at 4 and a half years so the spare has been in the box for the last year. I hope I remembered to test it at the time because the return window has definitely closed!
Ghstfce 1.0I have the Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite and I absolutely love it! I used to have the G600 for a long time and it was great too, but the ability to adjust the side buttons to fit your thumb reach and how much more comfortable the side buttons are makes the Scimitar better in my opinion. Feels a bit more comfortable in the hand after extended periods of time too. The G600 was strange angles where the pinky and ring finger naturally sit.
Illcons 1.0I have been using Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite - many buttons, very good price, haven't had any issue. Don't know about durability though, I've had it for around 6 months
intulor 1.0For bigger hands might be a stretch. The 1 button on the side is so close to the bottom that unless you have small thumbs, you're likely to get a lot of fat finger hits on the 2 as well.
I've had 2 g600's and 2 or 3 nagas malfunction or die prematurely. Obviously, everyone's experience here is anecdotal, but I don't think any of them are without flaws. I prefer the g600, but it's no longer being made and razer's software and onboard firmware are terrible, so I went with a scimitar this time. It's fine so far, but the 1 button is too close to the bottom of the mouse, meaning I have to roll my thumb a bit to only hit the 1 or I end up fat fingering the 2 as well.
Jayne_Hero_of_Canton 1.0Had mine for at least 3 years at consistent use and even bought another one as a backup just in case. The back up is still in its box and my current one is still working with no issues. So you should be good.
MayorDasMoose 1.0Recently (as in just a few days ago) I had to retire my G600. It sits on a shelf now in my living room in a place of honor. I picked up [this up](https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/gaming-mouse/ch-9304211-na/scimitar-rgb-elite-optical-moba-mmo-gaming-mouse-ch-9304211-na) I like it. Having adjustable side buttons is nice. And it’s not expensive. That being said the software is crap. Load it up, program the on board memory, then shut it down unless you absolutely have to use it again. Don’t forget to turn off auto start when you boot up. Good mouse. Bad software.
