Performance


The sensor performance on the Scimitar is superb, there’s zero acceleration across the whole range. While I doubt anyone would be using the maximum of 12000DPI that often, it’s still got a great response and can draw curves without severe glitching.

Connecting the Scimitar to the PC, you’re instantly treated to a gorgeous array of RGB LED lighting effects. As with all the new Corsair RGB products, you can tweak all each lighting zone, of which there are four on the Scimitar, with any colour and effect you desire, even combining your keyboard and headset to synchronise the colour patterns. There is more going on here than I need to talk about, so enjoy the huge collection of images below, as when it comes to colours, a picture speaks a thousand words.

There is a huge range of customisation options on the Scimitar, more so that I think I will ever need in my entire lifetime. Of course, choice is no bad thing and while it does take a while to dial everything in, the payoff is certainly worth it. Having full command over every button for macros, mouse controls, shortcuts, multimedia, whatever you can think of, is a huge benefit for gaming and desktop use. Of course, this mouse is great for MMO and MOBA where long lists of commands are commonplace. I personally found it a huge advantage in ESO, especially when it came to changing loadouts and opening the multitude of options windows from the tool bar.

You can import/export your custom lighting, key configuration and sensor settings with ease, but you can also store them locally on the mouse its self. This means you can use it at gaming tournaments where desktop software for the mouse isn’t allowed, but also means your settings can be taken with you anywhere your mouse goes, handy if you swapping systems for a while.

The RGB lighting options are insane, so much so that I could do a whole review on those alone, but I won’t. Let’s just say that think of a colour, think of how you want it and you can do it, it’s that simple. The colour profiles are handy for determining your gaming profile and DPI settings at a glance or just colour matching it with your other hardware.

The sensor performance is simply amazing, the mouse glides like it’s on ice and the feedback from the buttons (all of them) is snappy and satisfying. I could spool off about how I tried this game, that game, did some work, but the fact is that it’s just an amazing mouse use for any application, so long as you can adapt to so many buttons on the side.
