I bought this to replace the wired version of this mouse, come to find out that it doesn’t allow forthe same grip style I have. What I immediately noticed is the mouse isn’t as big overall compared to it’s wired counterpart. This has caused me significant wrist pain, even with getting a wrist support. I unfortunately had to go back to the wired version of this mouse, which has it’s own problem of the mouse wheel regularly failing. I will give the wireless version a plus for fixing that issue, as it seems more heavy duty.If Corsair had focused on the ergonomics of the mouse, this would of been a perfect upgrade and replacement.

Love the buttons and their placement convenient for hot keys

I really want to enjoy this mouse. It is the first MMO mouse I have purchased and I use it frequently for the game FFXIV Online. The issue is that I have experienced the mouse skip or stop tracking frequently. I have tried switching from a hard to a soft mousepad and still the same issues. The hard mousepad I tested on was the Corsair MM800 Polaris and the soft one is the Logitech Edge. Constant issues with tracking on both mousepads. Another thing I had a problem with is the iCue software. The mouse would constantly stop tracking all together and the wireless dongle would disconnect from my computer for a few seconds and then reconnect. After hardware assigning the side buttons, I closed iCue and prevented it from opening on start-up. This fixed the issue with disconnecting, unfortunately. This means I am unable to use the software designed to control this mouse therefore I lose out on its full potential. Pretty upsetting as I have always bought iCue products and hoped this would not be a purchase I regretted.

Software is not the best but it’s workable. The scroll wheel starts to do a scroll up motion while scrolling down after about a year.They did replace it for free. A year later it’s happening again.

Works as it should no complaints here. Slip stream awesome and both if my device and linked to one usb dongle.

don’t get the mouse plain and simple. the reason corsair. they are notorious for the weirdest bugs that for years have plagued all their products because of their software icue. they either don’t care are make too much money to care and we support them for it for no reason. The mouse itself is great when i can actually get it to work. the problem is when i restart or shutdown my computer all the key assignments just get erased. which defeats the purpose of having the mouse for mmos. it has been a known issue from what i have researched, trying to fix the issue, as far back as the original schimitar around 2015 or something. i stay clear of corsair products but thought since there are not alot of mmo mouse options out there it try it out. how can corsair get a mouse wrong, but sadly i forgot icue is a thing. probably get some bot response about contacting support. im sure people have been doing that for years already. probably going to return the thing and try another brand.

I was really exited to get this. What would be cooler playing wow than hit keys right here in your mouse. Maybe if I used macros more but for me my man thumb can’t easily trigger the right key. I will say mapping the buttons was also a bit of a pain.It has good resolution and responsiveness. I do miss my back button though.

Got the mouse yesterday 4/17/24. Spent my entire evening trying to get it to update firmware. Researched all around the web and tried everything that other people tried. Put in a ticket with corsair and there solution is to have me reset my windows installation. Just going to return it and get something else. Ive literally purchased every high end mmorpg mouse in existence, they have all failed in roughly 1 year, this is the only one I couldn’t even manage to use for a day. Trying the super cheap Utechsmart Venus this time

I purchased this mouse and from the start the quality feels very cheap. The mouse scroll is terrible and would not function. I sent it in to get replaced. I got the replacement through Amazon. The new mouse’s wheel still felt rough and clanky when scrolling but at least it worked… For about 1 month.Had to submit a ticket through Corsair Customer service and it is the worst service I have ever had in my life. It takes them 1-3 days to reply to anything, the responses are automated or vague. Took a week just to get the RMA to send it to them so that I could get my replacement. A week and a half later I receive what I thought would be my new mouse, but instead it was some random cheap refurbished headset. Tried to escalate my ticket and get this resolved and they keep asking me to send them a picture of the serial number of the headset before they can process my request. I have sent them a picture of the box with the label that has all that info, a pic of the serial number on the actual headset earpiece and yet they still keep replying to my email saying to send them a pic of the serial number so they can “better help me”.I have yet to receive my replacement mouse which costs more than the cheap corsair headset they sent me and there is absolutely no way to contact them over the phone, only through email or website chat which is just as useless since I have tried 3 times already.I also had to pay to ship the mouse to them which costed 30 dollars and they said they would refund it to my paypal and have not done so at all either.DO NOT buy this mouse and DO NOT buy any products from Corsair. Save yourself the trouble and money so that you dont get scammed by this company and their faulty products.

The amount of bugs that persist with this mouse. I have to unplug it and re-plug it in all the time. It will either get stuck in a non-default profile when I boot my PC, or wake from sleep, or completely refuse to pick up that it’s plugged in so there’s no cursor. Not to mention the 2 buttons as so comically far back from the mousewheel they’re so hard to press.

I’ve been a Razer Fan-boy for a long time. Still using my Blackwidow 1.0, but my Naga Mice seem to go faster than my keyboards. Wife convinced me to try a different brand. Trying to get all the connectivity and bells and whistles I might like in a Razer would cost around $180. Picked this up for about $110 and I have no regrets.Regarding Connectivity:1. Wired – Can charge while being used via the wired cable that connects in the front and feels like any other wired mouse when doing so.2. USB Dongle for Wireless capabilities, the dongle can store into the bottom of the mouse when not in use or when being transported.3. Bluetooth connectivity for a single device.The thumb pad for the 12-key is adjustable so you can slide it forward or back depending on your hand size/shape for better comfort.5 DPI settings you can cycle on the fly as needed.All in all I’m happy with the purchase and it fits my needs.

This mouse is pretty decent but it’s not $80 decent. I was lucky and got mine from credit card rewards, so basically free. My problem with this mouse is the the scroll wheel does not have a left to right movent so you you can use it to move forward and backward through menus and web browsers. This means that you are going to have to assign that function to some of the G keys on the side of the mouse removing two functions that you would otherwise want to assign for much more important MMO actions. Either that or or you can deal with the inconvenience of just clicking on screen back and forward buttons. Yes it is a “minor” inconvenience but for the asking price of $80 it should really have a 4 way scroll wheel. You can get a Logitech g600 for $20 less that does have a 4 way scroll wheel and a second customizable right click button. It’s facing some stiff competition at it’s price point so at it’s current price of $80 I can not recommend this mouse.

Only had to buy the elite because my pro’s right click started to go after 7 years of extensive fps use. 10/10 mouse.

My boyfriend loves this new mouse he got! It’s great as a wireless mouse but he got the one with the wire. It is comfortable on the hands while gaming and doesn’t weigh too much so it’s not too heavy. The colors are beautiful! And the tracking works great, definitely worth the price!

only had it for 6 months, always had connectivity issues wirelessly would occasionally have to plug it in and do a force reset to get it to connect. recently issues gotten worse. did all troubleshooting steps: force reset, force firmware update, reinstalled icue etc… last few days it stopped charging completely and only works plugged in barely. probably going back to my 2 year old logitech g pro.

Fits great in the hand, and great replacement to my Razer Naga(felt too big in the hand compared to the adjustable Corsair).
Jared –
So good I own 2. Corsair has worked out the bugs with iCue and I haven’t had issues for a few years now. I still back up my settings just in case.

I thought the idea of having an RPG style mouse would be interesting to try…It’s just not for me. I tend to pickup my mouse a lot and, well, you need your thumb to do that. The thumb resting on buttons. Gave it some time to get used to and just couldn’t. On the other hand, brother-in-law loves his. Just didn’t fit my style and fingers never felt quite right on it. You may love it…went with a Deathadder v3 instead and really dig it.

Other than being less expensive what really sold me is the sliding numpad letting you adjust the mouse to your hand. It used to be a pain to setup cause the numpad didn’t come pre-programmed and the Corsair software is honestly garbage but this is my second purchase and they seem to be pre-programming it now, letting you avoid their software.

Getting this mouse to do the extra features it promises is like pulling teeth out.

Received product is dead on arrival despite the box not being opened.

One of the best MMO mouses I’ve had. I like how adjustable the number pad is with a screw.

Latency has never been an issue despite this being a wireless mouse.

I purchased this as a replacement for the Razer Naga Trinity and it’s a HUGE upgrade.Pros:Fits my hand/fingers perfectly.AdjustableEasier to moveSide buttons are textured making them easier to find by touchDrivers are NOT web-based so you don’t have spyware installed or get nagged by advertisements from a driver.Integrates with LED light control software seamlessly.Very precise and fully adjustable.Cons:None that I can think of.

For mice that cost this much, <1 year lifespan is unacceptable. I have old mice that are going on 10 years with no issues.
Jesse B –
Software is buggy and will not remember anything I assign to the side buttons, saving it to on board memory didn’t help at all. Makes the mouse completely useless to me
Brian Sr –
I have a asus chakram X and figured I would try this one out for more buttons. LOL you can’t reach the bottom row with a normal size hand. They tried so hard to squeeze everything in they didn’t worry about if people could actually use it lol.

the middle mouse wheel is jumpy, had it for a month, and then one day its works like garbage.

I’ve used this and the rgb pro, both from corsair and they’re great mice!… when they work.This is now the third RGB elite I am trying within a month or so span, due to defects in the mouse. The first had the side button, the 10 key, sticking into the mouse. The other had an issue with the scroll wheel where it seems to not stop scrolling/when playing a game such as counter strike, my weapons change due to scroll wheel scrolling without input.There seems to be a drop in build quality, or maybe I’m just unlucky, but hoping that this next one is the one that works properly!EDIT: The new mouse has come in, and I’ve plugged it up to use it in the same tasks the others have done for years. As of right now the buttons on the side are still sticking (On the brand new one) and the scroll wheel is not always response with scrolls. I highly suggest a QA reevaluation on these mice by Corsair, and to buyers to not splurge for the elite and instead go with the Corsair Scimitar Pro instead, as I did not go through 4 of them in the span of several months as I have with the Elite.
