"its form happens to fit my hand better than the others ... no feelings of fatigue in my hand after a long gaming session"
"Yeah it’s definitely chunky, which is perfect for me personally"
"I like that I can adjust the buttons to be within easy reach of my thumb because the razer mice are way too cramped"

"Saving the profile to the mouse memory fixes this. ... Then you can use it in any computer and it just works. ... I don’t even run the icue software anymore. ... You still initially save it through icue, but you use one of the 3 hardware spots on the actual mouse. ... Iv’e gifted 3 of these to friends who play with me, I opened each mouse and saved a profile so they wouldn’t have to mess with it. Plug them in and it’s ready to go."
"Works fine tbh ... Once you get it setup, you're pretty much good."

"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 buttons are in an very awkward position if you try to use anything past the first 2 columns ... If you move the numpad forward then the first buttons are hard to reach. If you move the numpad backward then the last buttons are hard to reach"
"The Scimitar buttons also didn't feel as good as the Naga"

"had it twice, both times broke in under 6 months, don't want to ever buy it again"
"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."
"My scroll wheel always broke on my scimitars. ... To the point where I'd need new ones like once a year."

"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"
"Icue is also surprisingly even worse and crash prone than synapse was for me."
"The software is utter garbage"

"their shitty scroll wheel keeps destorying itself"
"the scroll wheel will eventually start scrolling up when you are trying to scroll down."
"You **will** experience the mouse wheel fucking up (registering up scrolls as down and downs as ups on some of the clicks)"

"it was just too heavy a mouse for me"
0rphu 0.5Weight doesn't really matter much if all you do is non-competitive games, but I play a mix of most game genres and after switching from a scimitar (corsair's mmo moise) to a lightweight deathadder I don't think I can go back. My aimlabs score on multiple tests improved by like 20-30%. The deathadder with the AA battery is a good bit heavier I think
8_string_menace 0.6I’ve used the OG naga, the Logitech G600, and the Corsair Scimitar. All are solid mice, the naga lasted 5 years or so, got it during the ICC raid patch in wows wrath of the lich king expansion. Replaced it with another that only lasted 2 I think. Both had the same problem, the dreaded double left click caused by internal button structure wearing down. You can do short term fixes for it, but it gets annoying. The Logitech lasted about 6 years, different issue, the side buttons stopped responding to input on the 7-9 row, where I keep my big hitter abilities in my task bar. Got the Corsair to replace it as I had heard good things and it’s still going strong. I like the Corsair ICUE software, as others said, it’s a bit awkward until you get the hang of it, but I love that you can sync profiles up with other peripherals, so the mutual lighting effects are matching in my keyboard and headset to. You can also set the devices to ignore the ICUE software and keep a default setup on the onboard memory if you’re taking it elsewhere and want it to feel familiar.
999_Seth 0.6personally I use a corsair mmo mouse, but like the red dragon they don't offer a mirror version for left hand use that is one thing the azeron company does well is they have mirror versions of everything
ABrownApple 0.6I used razer naga before and it works fine with mac. But the quality of razer gear is shit. After my THIRD razer broke I bought a Corsair Scimita. Same amount of buttons. Works with my MacBook pro m2 chip. And the 12 buttons moveable so you can customize them. I also have small hands but both mice have worked fine for me. I will never be able to play wow without the extra buttons. The razer naga seems to fit people that don't mind buying a new o e every year... The Corsair have been working for a while.
Adamine 0.6Corsair scimitar. As an amputee the macro buttons are very useful.
Admirable-Entry-3546 0.6Corsair scimitar, comfort for me
Admirral 0.6you don't need an expensive mmo mouse. I used a logitech g600 for many years until it began failing. That mouse went through hell. Now I use a cheap red dragon mmo mouse which is honestly fantastic. I once tried a corsair scimitar and the thing broke within the first month. That was the most expensive mmo mouse I had. So op, just go with what feels best for you. And remember, cost has no bearing on if something is good or not.
aeo1986 0.6it has a known double clicking problem, or did, maybe they fixed it. I went through 2 of them
Aesyric 0.6If you want the Logitech g600, look up "Logicool g600" on eBay. It's the same mouse, it never got discontinued in Japan, but the name Logitech was taken over there so they had to rebrand for japanese products to Logicool. I tried a Corsair scimitar, Razer Naga, and Steel series Aerox 9 and nome of them held up to the g600 imo
Afraid-Cat-1884 0.6Thanks everyone, saw the corsair scimitar was on sale for only $20 more than the M811 so I decided to get the scimitar. Hopefully I can get the hang of all the buttons lol.
