I 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

I 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.

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.

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!

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.

I 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.

It 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.

I 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
