I’ve been using<\/span> the same gaming mouse for as long as I can remember: the Logitech G600<\/a>. It has 12 thumb buttons that I use just as much for work<\/a> as for play. But I’ve wanted a wireless version for a while, and it’s overdue for an upgrade. After more than a decade of waiting, I\u2019ve started looking elsewhere<\/a>. The Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless caught my wandering eye.<\/p>\n

Much like on my trusty G600, the 12 thumb buttons on the Scimitar Elite Wireless have a ton of customization options. Each button can be mapped to another single key or combination of keys. In games like Overwatch 2<\/em>, I can map buttons that are typically hard to reach with fingers on my left hand to more convenient thumb buttons. It\u2019s a small change, but it makes my games so much easier when I don’t have to reach for the Ctrl button.<\/p>\n

Corsair\u2019s iCue software<\/a> can do a lot more than simple key remaps too. Macros let me record repeatable actions or even past text blocks (handy when I\u2019m writing repetitive emails), and profiles can automatically change based on what application I\u2019m using, so I can have certain macros for writing, editing, and adjusting photos.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All of that is stuff I could do with my Logitech G600, but what makes the Scimitar Elite special is how Corsair improved on the hardware.<\/p>\n

A Custom Fit<\/h2>\n

The 12 side buttons on the Scimitar Elite sit on a concave grid that aligns to the curve of my right thumb. Since it can be difficult to tell one of 12 buttons from another by touch alone, Corsair has given each alternating row of buttons a textured surface. On the middle button of the second row, there’s an extra nub, similar to the kind you find on the F and J keys of most keyboards, to help orient your fingers.<\/p>\n
