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.
