Corsair Scimitar Pro RGB - MMO Gaming Mouse - 16,000 DPI Optical Sensor - 12 Programmable Side Buttons - Black

+ Cheaper than your standard Logitech G/Rog mice+ Fits into a wide variety of grips thanks to adjustable parts on the mice++MMO side buttons, which if you can get used to, give you a serious advantage in reactions by not having to distract your other hand with the number keys+ Great quality and weightiness, but light enough to not drag itself down by being a wired mouse-ICUE can be a complete disaster of a program at rare times and tends to crash occasionally out of the blue. (Not necessary to keep program on if you bind settings to your hardware first thing)Like the title says, it literally just works. I’ve bought multiple mice over the years as a testament to what is good for me to use on the daily. Razer, LogitechG, Asus ROG, Corsair, the whole lot. This is hands down the mouse you want to get as a gamer just purely for functionality at being an mmo mouse, no gimmicky features included

I've bought the elite version of this and the standard version of this and tbh, just get the cheaper one because they're the same. But I have purchased other mice that are in everybody top 5 or top 10 online and for some reason the crappy Razer Naga mouse series is always at the top of everybody's list of MMO mouses and I'm not sure why. The only other one that stands up to it is the G600 from Logitech and any other that are knockoffs that have the exact same design.The reason that this mouse is the best mouse of all MMO mouses is because of the grip on the side with the programmable buttons. The sliding adjustment is not really important as you will likely keep it in the original position from the factory which is all the way to the back. If you try any other design other than the G600 and, most favorably, this mouse design, then you will feel as if you cannot hold on to the mouse if you need to lift it off of the mousepad. With the Naga in particular you will try and pick it up and will have to be extra careful to not press all of the buttons on the side, much less just drop it entirely. It's because there is no indentation or curvature to the programmable button side of the mouse. However, this scimitar does have that curvature and also has textured buttons that help in grabbing the mouse when you need to lift up and adjust it. You may think that you won't need to lift up the mouse while surfing the web or playing a game but if you start paying attention, you will notice that you DEFINITELY do that and it is very important to have a ergonomic mouse - at least as far as palm grip mouse users are concerned. I have bought several to use at work and at home and 1 that quit working on me after a few years.ICUE SOFTWAREYeah iCue software blows. It appears to cause issues like a virus on your PC. It makes your mouse move slow and laggy like you're being swarmed by a virus and if you have a profile saved to your mouse and iCue launches, it overrides your profile for some reason and you have to shut down iCue to make it work normally. Best thing to do is to install iCue just to set your dpi profiles and color code them if you want, like I do, and then uninstall the program after saving the profile to the mouse. This.Program.Sucks.Period.

I originally picked one up for playing World of Warcraft (WoW). I bound the keys to the spell bar and it had a huge impact in my circumstance. The ability to cast spells with my right hand and reserve the left exclusively for movement felt way more natural and, after I grew accustomed to this setup, I felt like I just couldn't go back to playing the other way.I'm not playing WoW currently, but I still use this for other games, even if they're not MMO's or MOBA's. For example, I've been playing alot of Apex Legends and binding things like run, crouch, special, etc., are really useful to have bound to my mouse. Anything that allows me to keep my left hand further reserved for movement is a huge plus, in my book.Mostly, though, I love this mouse for general PC use. I have things bound to it like: cut/copy/paste, select all, back/forward, reload, open File Explorer, open Chrome, open Calculator, and volume up/down/mute. Once you get accustomed to using these keys, it can make your general PC use much more efficient.The iCUE software is very powerful and I very much like it as a method of controlling many aspects of my PC, from RGB to fan speed. The portion of iCUE relevant to this mouse is good, but I don't know if there's anything that really sets it apart from the controller software for other mouse options, like for the Logitech G600. But it's a pain to use multiple different software suites and, if you're going to buy into one, the Corsair iCUE ecosystem is great -- it's definitely a strong pro for this mouse if you own other Corsair gear.I've been using this mouse at home and in my office for a while now and it's held up pretty well. There's no noticeable wear to the finish and all the buttons still feel the same. I like that this mouse has an adjustable keypad, so you can optimize its location for your thumb. Keep in mind this mouse is quite heavy. I like a heavy mouse and it fits my hand well, although I have somewhat small hands so that may be a factor. I came from the Corsair M65 before this and I like this far better in basically every aspect.
