Expert reviews and ratings

Overall, the Scimitar Elite Wireless has its faults, but I feel most of these can be forgiven. Of course, the Scimitar Elite Wireless also looks better simply by virtue of competition not being particularly fierce. The Razer Naga V2 Pro is undoubtedly the better mouse, but is even pricier at $179.99, and those who only want an MMO mouse likely aren't too interested in paying for the extra functionality offered by the Naga V2 Pro.

The Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless is an excellent mouse for MMO or MOBA gaming. It features a 12-button side panel that is back-and-forth adjustable to better suit your hand size and grip style for a more comfortable fit. It has excellent sensor performance and low click latency that is suitable for casual and competitive play.

Whether it was high-end gaming or regular day-to-day computing, the Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless was a solid performer. The 12 side buttons work best for games like MMOs where you need a lot of inputs, and have at least a brief moment to make a move and ensure you're pressing the correct option with your thumb. Even with lots of practice, the 12 side buttons are harder to recommend for use in fast-action battle royale-style games where every microsecond counts.
