Hit 10! I would also add if you are not used to it then it will probably be a little annoying at first because you will try to flick really fast and you’ll accidentally hit a button and pull out something else mid gun fight, just takes a little to get used to, having a delicate or certain grip on the mouse when doing so to avoid it, I no longer accidentally hit the side buttons but just be aware of that if using it in any FPS game! Oh it’s also a bit on the heavier side but I like that, light mice feels like there nothing in my hand and I can’t stand that

I had the OG wired version. It was alright. Pretty damn heavy. I’ve been curious to try the new one, but I have a perfectly good Razer naga still (the one with 3 changing side plates)

I have small ass hands and have been using the naga for years. The old scimitar was nice, but it was a little bigger and way heavier. I can't stand the new scimitar. There's basically nothing between the buttons, so it's really hard to distinguish between them.

I actually didn't care for the brand new one because of the different buttons up top by the wheel. I just don't like change, really. I had to dig around on Amazon, but I found the old wired one. I unfortunately have had to replace them more than I'm happy with as well

The scimitar from Corsair used to be a lot better than it is now. They changed the design of the buttons, and it's basically very difficult for your thumb to differentiate the edges of the buttons now. The naga is the best, imo

I don't have that problem with naga. But I definitely had that problem when I tried to switch to the shitty scimitar. It's almost like it's just one big flat surface with each button occupying a small zone on that surface. There's no gaps whatsoever. It's terrible

I have a Corsair scimitar, wired. Had to replace the wire 1 time, and the wheel recently started to break down, the mouse is 9 years old, which is insane because I alwayes used steel series rivals and they were breaking down after a year or two

Closet replacement we found was the corsair scimitar, but it's a bit smaller than the G600 and on overall use, a bit less resistant than the G600. But at least they still make those! My bf uses the corsair, i use the G600, and he had to switch his 2 times in 4-5years (one we suspect was just bad luck / bad item in the batch). As to if he was using his mouse more than mine, i use my mouse to work on CAD and Revit, with all the 24 keybinding used for commands, and i use the same mouse for gaming/work as i now work remote. But i did have a G600 at my work too. When we learn they were discountinuing the G600, my bf bought me 3 news for spare. As long as the program works, i'll be fine.

Corair scimitar and logitech g502 both come in white and are both larger shells meant for a relaxed grip. Extra buttons are pretty much always really nice and only really get in the way of fps games. For monster hunter especially being able to bind the million items you have in that game to mouse buttons could be really nice. Redragon also has really cheap stuff that's actually decent. Just curious which monster hunter you playing through?
