Scimitar Elite Wireless SE MMO PC Gaming Mouse – 33,000 DPI, 16 Programmable Buttons, Key Slider, Elgato Virtual Stream Deck, 1,000Hz Polling, Up to 150-Hour Battery – Gunmetal

I literally can’t give this mouse enough stars. I use an Asus ROG ally x as my only PC. Spends most of its time docked and does everything from send emails to play fallout 4. Having the ability to hotkey shortcuts or other actions is game changing for me. Literally. My main reason for buying this mouse was to use for fallout4 and Skyrim. It works exceptionally well for hotbar items. The sensitivity levels are great. The mouse is on the heavy side of the spectrum but I the mouse is so well designed and so comfortable to hold that it didn’t create any hot spots or cause my hand to get fatigued during my extended gaming sessions. I would definitely recommend this mouse for people with large hands. I’m 6’2” and can palm a basketball, but this mouse just fits. The RGB is the only thing I’m disappointed about. There is barely any. Just enough to light up the number pad and corsair logo. All in all, I highly recommend this mouse to anybody who wants more versatility with their controls and a completely customizable gamingbexpierence.

I've owned too many of these. Sadly, they're the best MMO mouse out there for me since I'm an old gamer and need the thumb adjustment for the side numerical keypad to allow my gnarled arthritic hands to function in game properly. I've had two previous models fail due to sudden connection failure and mouse wheel issues. I figured fine, I'll try this new SE version in white. When iCue is painstakingly, annoyingly set up correctly and all its bizarre UI foibles deciphered, the mouse is successfully connected (no guarantee there) and battery charged up, it's great. The performance and functionality is great. It's smooth, fast, highly adjustable, fits my hand better than others except for the insane, mystifying textured flared pinky 'rest' on the right forward bottom edge. What the heck were they thinking, there? OK, that's the good part. The bad: Connectivity using the dongle is very, very short-range. You can't even have the dongle on the opposite side of a LAPTOP without it stuttering/skipping, let alone off on a USB hub somewhere or, even worse, your desktop on the floor or something. Also bad: Battery life is ridiculously poor. I've got it set to 2 minutes sleep time and even with occasional use it lasts maybe three days or so before requiring a recharge, and it gives no notification the battery is getting low - you have to check the abominable iCue app or pop up the taskbar group icons. There's also problems with having to re-pair the mouse after having used it for months - it will suddenly no longer pair with the PC or iCue, and naturally the pairing process is a pain to do. I'd honestly just look for something that offers similar functions.

Been using Corsair's 12 button mouse since the launch of WoW classic & really changed up the way ai play for the better. Takes some getting used to at first, but can't imagine going back without it. First one was wired that I had to replace due to the mouse wheel malfunctioning after a time. Looks like Corsair is putting more updated development into their wireless iteration than the wired as I hadn't seen any new models for the wired at the time of purchasing this...so went with the wireless this time albeit more money. Hopefully the scroll wheel lasts this go around. Wireless is preferred for a mouse anyway....and this shows in product development; conversely, theres more development on wired keyboards than there are wireless.

5th Scimitar product since first became a model of mouse. Overall fine, but my standards have changed as technology has improved. It is no longer a 5-star product due to weight. After playing with lower weight mice like the Pulsar products in FPS games, it is hard to go back to heavy weight for RPG games. Still a great product and the best RPG mouse. But it hasn't really innovated since launch 9 years ago. They really should attempt something new. Perhaps a haptic sensor digital side panel with brail bumps for numbers to reduce size and weight. This is the best built scimitar I have owned. But that may be bias cause all others were black. But let's talk about how I have owned 5 of them. . . They lasted 9 months to a little over 2 years. 3 Failed on scroll wheel, and one on left click. Not great for the price, and if the mouse itself wasn't the best of its kind (and yes, I tried half a dozen others.) I wouldn't use it still. I always go back to this design after trying something new. Corsair makes products that perform amazing. But have durability issues. -- I had a corsair virtuoso headset battery catch fire while I was wearing it. . . You might think I would never buy another. . . But NOTHING compares to the audio and mic quality for less than double the price. It is just that good, that even that couldn't stop me from getting another. . . after a few attempts of other brands.

The Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless SE has been a fantastic addition to my setup. The 16 programmable buttons and adjustable key slider make it incredibly flexible for MMO gaming, and the 33,000 DPI sensor is smooth, accurate, and responsive. Wireless performance has been excellent, and the battery life is genuinely impressive — it easily lasts through long sessions without needing a charge. I haven’t used the Elgato virtual stream deck features yet, but it’s nice knowing they’re available if I ever want to dive deeper into macros or streaming tools. Even without that, the mouse already offers more customization than most people will ever need. Ergonomically, it felt a bit odd at first, especially coming from smaller mice, but after a short adjustment period it became comfortable and natural to use. The build quality is top‑notch, and the gunmetal finish looks great on the desk. The only hiccup I’ve had is that I haven’t been able to get it to pair with my Corsair Slipstream dongle, which should allow me to run my mouse, keyboard, and headset off a single receiver. It’s not a deal‑breaker since the mouse works perfectly over its own wireless connection, but it’s worth mentioning. Overall, this is a feature‑packed, high‑performance MMO mouse with excellent wireless reliability. Despite the Slipstream pairing issue, it’s still an easy 5‑star product for me.

This is more of a "first impressions" review right now, and there's no immediate red flags. I'll update this later once I've put some hours in with it. Off the jump, this mouse feels amazing in my hand. I have pretty big hands, and I'm coming from a Logitech G600 for comparison. The Scimitar is around the same size? It's slightly longer top to bottom, and slightly narrower side to side, but my hand still rests very comfortably on the mouse. It's noticeably lighter than the G600, too, which is great for FPS gaming. There's a screw on the bottom of the mouse with an included allen key to let you adjust the position of the 12-button panel so you can adjust your thumb's reach. Super nice idea, but when you loosen the screw, the panel moves way too loosely, so you have to hold it in your hand firmly while tightening the screw with your probably non-dominant hand. To make matters worse, the included allen key is not quite the right size for the screw, so it skips while you're tightening it back down. (And no, I'm not over-tightening it - it's still able to move very loosely at that point!) That aside, it feels very good in the hand and very responsive. I don't notice any drop outs or latency, and the included USB A to C cable is very high quality. If you care about Linux compatibility, then I'm happy to report no issues thus far. (I have not and will not download the Corsair software to customize the mouse at all, so no comments on that. If you care about that, then try it at your own risk.)

So first off id like to say I love this mouse, the white goes with my setup and I love all the buttons. The reason for 3 stars is i paid a pretty penny for this mouse in May of 2025 and I dont know if mine is just defective or what but even with all the lights off I only get like 2 days worth of wireless out of it so I feel like I should have just bought the wired version because thst is what it has turned into for me at least. I just wish I could get more time out of the wireless for it.

This mouse was great for about 3 months max then the number buttons started sticking and it wouldn't stay bluetooth connected. My razer mice lasted for years at a time but I wanted to give this one a chance. Major mistake. This is way too expensive to wear out so quickly. I checked for software updates or anything that might be impacting the performance and there was nothing. The mouse is simply low quality.
