Review: An excellent mouse with a long battery life, plenty of customisation. ABOVE ALL COMFORTABLE! - Corsair SCIMITAR ELITE RGB WIRELESS MMO Gaming Mouse (what a mouthful - talk about a long name) -It feels well built and nice in the hand -lots of buttons and customisation via the app -so far the mouse wheel feels smooth -battery life (via inbuilt battery) is miles ahead of my old RAT 9 wireless mouse -flexibility of bluetooth or wireless receiver (the usb dongle is neatly hidden in the bottom of the mouse - nice touch) -ergonomics are pretty good and i love that the buttons have different textures to tell them apart without looking. The side buttons can also be slid closer and further from your thumb and locked in place. -usable for me as an adult with small baby hands Negatives - I miss my pinky and thumb rests from the RAT 9. The corsair has an indented place for the pinky but its not quite as comfortable though Im glad its there. Not something you find on all gaming mice. -The iCue software took 3 attempts to install for me. Could have been my AV detecting registry entries being made. -the inbuilt battery is a double edged sword - much larger capacity and charge at the cost of some effort to replace later down the line. Ive made my peace with this but worth thinking about.
Review: Great MM) mouse - very well built, adjustable for different hand sizes, and really good software. - I purchased this MMO mouse to replace my unreliable Razer 'Naga'. This unit us lighter, has a noticeably better battery, contains a storage space for the RF dongle (very useful for long term use), has FAR better software than the Razer equivalent and is compatible with the really nice 'iCue' colour co-ordination for peripherals software. The RF mode has great response time for games, switching between it and the energy-saving bluetooth mode is instant. There's multiple DPI settings you can flick through with one button. Highly recommended . Assuming this lasts better than the Razer Naga did, it represents pretty great value - even at the relatively steep £80 GBP price point.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the software need to be used and open all the time, or can i just plug in and set mouse buttons in game?**
A: I would think you'd need the software open, it stores setting such as the general mouse DPI, the profiles, keybindings and so forth. Without it open a lot of the side buttons just won't work and you won't be able to change the DPI with a button press if you need to be more accurate or faster on the fly.

It is pretty awful software I'll admit though. It makes things a lot harder than they need to be. However once things are set up it's fine. It can just be on your tray, the window itself doesn't have to be open, it can just run in the background.

**Q: Is this one the updated version that works with icue v4 ?  i have the old scimitar that still works but only in icue v3***
A: Mine started with IQUE 3 but recently upgraded to IQUE 4 without issue .If that helps .

**Q: Can you map scroll up/scroll down on the mouse wheel to other functions?**
A: Simple answer is yes

**Q: How does the wheel compare to the scimitar rgb pro's?  as most know, the rgb pro wheel will end up breaking.**
A: Various updates and adjustments have been made to improve the original PRO's successor. Should you have any issue, you can always reach out to support.corsair.com as our mice have 2-year warranties.

Hope this helps!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Mouse. Shame it only lasts 2-3 years
*by H***Y on 31 May 2024*

I used to own the previous "Pro" version of this and it lasted just outside of it's 2 year warranty - numerous left & right mouse button issues and the mouse wheel snapped (made of cheap plastic). Saw the new "Elite" revision and decided why not, maybe they've made improvements. It's almost identical to the "Pro", the only difference I noticed was having clicky side/thumb buttons vs the old mushy ones. Been using it for almost 3 years with no issues until now where the middle click has given out. Not the plastic on the wheel that snapped (still uses the same stuff), just the button itself doesn't work 99% of the time. Overall I do like this mouse a lot it's just disappointing that corsair's scimtar mice only last just outside of warranty period. I imagine this is planned obsolescence to make you buy another. Pros: - Good size for medium hands - All the buttons have good clicky feel - Software has improved quite a lot in the past few years and is no longer a major pain point I used to have Cons: - Expect to replace or fix yourself every 2-3 years
