Corsair Gaming Scimitar RGB Review

With their new mouse Corsair have the Razer Naga and Logitech G600 in their sights. Looking to be the MOBA/MMO mouse of choice…and adding a cool feature it certainly looks impressive on paper. Find our if they can succeed in our Corsair Gaming Scimitar...

Starting with the build quality of the Scimitar we have a mouse which feels nice and chunky. The top surface is a good quality rubber and the textured right side panel offers a good amount of grip. We found the mouse was shaped well for a palm grip and...

Corsair Scimitar RGB Gaming Mouse Review

The Scimitar is another attempt by Corsair at making an MMO/MOBA gaming mouse - how does it do?

The Scimitar might not beat the Aorus M7 in the packaging stakes but Corsair's Utility Engine Software is absolutely made for this mouse. The combination of the two is a potent mix for any MMO/MOBA player, and it's the little things such as textured...

Difficult setup, side buttons stopped working initially

When I first set this gaming mouse up (and, I'll admit, that took a while --- it's complicated) everything seemed to be working fine. I had the mouse connected directly to my PC rather than using the passthrough on my G. Skill gaming keyboard. I used...

Button keypad can be adjusted to fit your hand Nice feel to main mouse buttons, scroll wheel Adjustable light settings

Requires claw grip and you have to rest your thumb on the keypad Side buttons stopped working in the first hour Setup is difficult, you'll need to download the user manual

Excellent Mouse

The Corsair Gaming SCIMITAR RGB MOBA/MMO Gaming Mouse hits the sweet spot of not being too light or too heavy. It also contours well to my average sized hands. The finish on the mouse is smooth but it does not become slippery after long periods of use....

4 Programmable RGB Lighting Zones Every button is programmable Buttons can be programed to macros or keystrokes Adjustable Side Button Panel

Side Buttons Easily and Unintentionally Pressed

Corsair Continues to Impress

This mouse is best suited for palm or hybrid grips. Claw grip would probably be sufficient, if you really wanted an MMO mouse. I wouldn't recommend it at all for fingertip grips. The mouse is slightly heavier than other similar mice, plus the thumb...

The mouse itself is made of solid plastic and aluminum throughout, nothing notable here. It feels like every other mouse I've held. It's sturdy -- it doesn't rattle, there's no loose components, and I'm certainly not worried about breaking anything...

No weights included. This is an MMO mouse, so it's not "designed" to play twitch shooters or other action games, so the weights are unnecessary to certain extent. On a premium product like this, it's expected though. If you're picky about mouse weight...
