For years I have used this mouse, 3,000 hours of Arma 3, 700 of DayZ and many many more from other games. When the cable eventually breaks, I will fit a new USB, when the switches turn to mush I will solder in new switches.

I'm far from a fan boy, especially when it comes to Corsair but the Scimitar, best mouse I have had.

Been using this mouse for years. The scroll wheel is already spazzing out whenever I use it. Still, haven't had any complaints about it other than that (except for needing iCue).

I don't need all the side buttons anymore though, so I may go for something simpler for my next mouse. Still, it was the best mouse I could find with that many inputs available to it.

for me its the dpi up button that some times sticks, scroll is fine though. ICue sucks, luckily Linux has ckb-next

also, what was it you originally needed the extra inputs for?

Originally needed them for modded Minecraft. I ran out of keys on my keyboard for all the keybindings that mods wanted.

Also tried using them in ffxiv, at least for the short period of time that I played it (fun game but I don't have the time sadly).

ICue is the worst

I totally regret buying that elite LCD that slots over the cooler, and all those Corsair fans + the case. I mean the hardware is fine, everything has been trucking a long for a really long time, the AIO, the fans, I've never had a problem with any of it from a hardware perspective. But it also means I'm locked into having that friggin ICue running in the background. The amount of other programs that app interferes with and basically fucks up, is unbelievable. I'm not buying anymore Corsair stuff, and iCue is 110% to blame for that.
