"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."
"my scroll wheel broke on the scimitar too :( ... the scroll wheel and software suck"
"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."

"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."
"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 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."

"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 are angled in a zigzag pattern which makes it way harder for your thumb to get lost in the heat of the moment."
"I feel like I'm not as accurate clicking small smushed together buttons with my thumb"
