Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite, USB

The Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE is an exceptional mouse for MMO gaming. It has an adjustable 12-button side pannel, it feels very well-built, and it has customization software compatible with Windows and macOS. It also has great click latency and a low lift-off distance. It's ideal for all hand sizes using a claw grip, but it's well-suited for a palm grip for all but small hands and a fingertip grip for all but extra-large hands. Unfortunately, it has a fairly stiff cable, and its mouse wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons.

I have put a truly staggering number of hours into Elder Scrolls Online in the last few years. A couple of lockdowns certainly helped pump those numbers up, and the fact I’ve worked from home for over a decade, means I’m never far from being able to flip from work to play quicker than most gamers at the end of a hard day… or in the middle of a hard day too, if I wanted to. One thing I do more than most, however, is I wear out keyboards, mice and gaming chairs like nothing else. I don’t go to work and sit at one desk, then come home to sit at my own, I’m here for the long haul each day. I need a mouse that can do it all, fit my work schedule, but still deliver the high-end thrills I’ve got a taste for. It needs to deliver a next-level MMO gaming experience, so I can fire off chat commands, macros, emotes, add-ons and more without losing my pace in battle… or to just streamline my goofing around.

The Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite checks a lot of boxes for an MMO/MOBA mouse. Its right-handed ergonomic shape is perfectly suited for palm grip and remains comfortable even during extended gaming sessions. A total of 17 fully programmable buttons are available, including easily spammable main buttons. The software—Corsair iCUE—features a very capable macro editor and allows one to fully customize the Scimitar according to one's preferences.
