"ease of pressing the right buttons for strict WoW use"

"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."
"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 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."

"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"
"My only complaint is I wish the side buttons textures were a bit more distinct or were angled slightly more"
"The bottom row of buttons feels a bit hard to press sometimes"

"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."

"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."
blownart 1.0Logitech G600, but now I have a Corsair scimitar rgb elite because I don't want to run another software for macros since I have a lot of corsair stuff.
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
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.
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!
geeageee 1.0Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite. The one I'm using now, I've been using for several years. Still works wonderfully, even if a little worn down. That said I made sure to buy two backups, just in case they stop making them or w/e.
Ghstfce 1.0Started with a Razer, then had a G600, and now using a Corsair Scimitar Elite. I would say out of all 3 the Scimitar is the most comfortable one for me. I like how the side buttons are movable so you can set them where it is the most comfortable for your thumb. G600 is great though itself, moved that over to my work desk.
I have a Red Dragon for my laptop. Always worked well for me, I also recommend it. I have a Corsair Scimitar Elite for my personal computer, a G600 for my work computer as well
I 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.
hypnohighzer 1.0I had the Naga Trinity, and after 2 years and double click issues I switched to the Corsair Scimitar rgb elite. I will say the ability to slide the buttons on the side even for a lanky fingeres person like me is nice. Worth checking out and only $60 usd on Amazon.
Icyknightmare 1.0It would be if it were still in production. Ended up replacing my old one with a [Corsair Scimitar](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082LRMY53). Almost as good as the G600.
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
