What is Reddit's opinion of Corsair Gaming SCIMITAR RGB MOBA/MMO Gaming Mouse, Key Slider Mechanical Buttons, 12000 DPI, Yellow?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I've purchased 3 razer naga variations. I strongly recommend against it. All three I've had to take apart and repair myself due to one of the clicks wearing out prematurely, but past warranty.

Unless something different that I like comes out before this one ends for good, I plan on buying this Corsair mouse.

Sorry for the Amazon link, corsairs website was down at the time of this post.

5.1 ounces, according to Amazon. That could be the entire package and not just the mouse, not sure. EDIT: Googling it's weight says 5.18 oz in multiple locations.

Buy a Corsair scimitar RGB PRO, they have black version as well (a little more expensive, same mouse)

• I have owned 4 razer naga's all of them have broke within 6 - 10 months. I am harsh on them. I assume you will probably too with one handed-ness. The mouse wheel is the main breaker but the sensor dies sometimes (rip mouse) and the right click will break every time in at least 8 months.

• The scimitar RGB pro is a better built mouse with a steel slider for it to rest upon. The sensor is better as well. The software is 10x better although a little unintuitive (requires you to understand it, not noob friendly). Also the razer software will always freeze and your mouse will freeze for a moment too. Then you have to restart the software this happens probably once every other day.

• It used to be the only well marketed mouse with lots of buttons no more. The scimitar also has adjustable buttons.

  You could also look into Roccat and logitech for their 12 button mice.

Just a tip I'd probably orientate yourself away from champs like lee sin because every time you use a ward on your mouse it will move your cursor causing you to miss your W or be slow to jump.

ADC's are great for one handed-ness. Mostly right clicking so ez-pz challenjour.

I have the non chroma version of this mouse and couldn't accurately train my brain to accurately choose the correct button as they all feel very similar.

I instead switched over the the Corsair Scimitar with alternating textured columns of buttons and was able to relatively easily train myself to press the right button quickly when playing SWOTOR.

Good price too right now. $50

Hmm, it looks a bit more like a standard mouse size, was it smaller than you were used to with the Naga?
I'm heavily considering it because it does seem to be a decent quality and it's currently the same price ($50) on Amazon

hmm that weight seems a little high but it could be. I'm feeling it now and it's definitely heavier than some of the other mice I own but it's not too heavy for me. it could be that it is 146 grams but the weight is balanced well maybe. It doesn't feel too heavy to me at all though. As far as I know the nyth will be much more expensive than the scimitar, and the nyth has a laser sensor in it so that's less than optimal.

it seems to be on sale on amazon at the moment.

edit: oh and the mouse wheel I would say is about medium difficulty to press in. harder than some mice I have but not as hard as others.

As far as a replacement goes, Corsair makes the same type of mouse .

I picked one of these up for when I want to play MMO's and such and I haven't had problems with it. You can actually adjust where the grid lies on the side of the mouse which is dope.

This mouse is really awesome and cheaper. After the firmware update a few weeks ago I think its beating everything on the market and some of the poor reviews might not be relevant anymore. my opinion anyway. http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Gaming-SCIMITAR-Mechanical-Buttons/dp/B013KK9JOO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1457463633&sr=8-3&keywords=gaming+mouse&refinements=p_89%3ACorsair

I personally use the Corsair Scimitar. Its an awesome mouse, and doesn't feel giant (i'm a large dude with medium sized hands) not to heavy for me but doesn't come with weights to adjust it. the number pad is movable to your comfort level and the numbers are all programmable with the CUE software from corsair.

$54 on Amazon currently

Depends on where in the Bay you are. I rarely find myself riding in Oakland/SF areas, hell, I've only been to Alice's a dozen times in the last decade. Most of my riding is in the North/East Bay - Mt Tam occasionally, I mostly stick to offshoots of Berryessa since I live in Solano and there's no highway slabbing to get to it.

As for the content, good idea - any recommendations for royalty free music that doesn't suck?

The few, "how do you do it?", or "what does it look like?" posts I've made are pretty generic. I share this one the most, to show how my hand operates my bikes setup with dual levers

I appreciate the interest, if there were more, I'd be inclined to put some effort into it. I get PMs on reddit about once a month or two from people with similar injuries. They'll ask about what happened, how I adapted in my daily life, or how I adapted my bikes. If I had the resources, I'd probably start a blog/vlog in conjunction with a 1-armed store, for all the various gizmos I've found over the years to make 1-armed life easier, like my customizable Razer xbox controller on pc/xbox, MMO mouse for pc, scissors for cutting food instead of using knives, curved bowls for making soup/dip easier to spoon, or accessory mount for getting all the controls on one side

same exact thing as naga, but its made by corsair, 10x better than the naga imo, a lot more comfortable. good luck

I use a g600 for work, buttons are nice a little mushy and lacking positive edges but all in all pretty decent.

Corsair schimitar is another good bet, also look at the m 90/95Vengeance series.

You could also look into the sSteel series rival 500 or the Roccat Nyth

The rival 500 is the one which interests me most of them, I have a shcimitar and G600. AMA

I love my G600 since it has so many buttons for customization, but I don't know if it's been discontinued or not. Might also check out the Corsair Scimitar

I have the Corsair Scimitar and it is awesome. It is my first mmo mouse and I only bought it for Gw2. I couldn't imagine playing without it anymore.

It's important to remember what you'll be using your PC for before picking out your peripherals.

For a mouse:
Any type of MMO or MOBA gaming? I recommend a Razer Naga (Razer hate stems from overpricing, they're still quality products), the Corsair Scimitar, or the Logitech G600. Mostly FPS? I recommend the Zowie FK1/FK2 (they seem to be hard to find these days, unfortunately), the Logitech G400s or the Razer Deathadder. I also recommend you check out this guide for more details on solid gaming mice.

Keyboards are a lot harder because even if I list features you'd need to know what type of resistance you'd want in your keys, when it comes to mechanical.
How much space do you have? Do you need a full size keyboard, a tenkeyless board (which just removes the numpad),or a 60% board. Do you want mechanical, which can make typing more comfortable but is more expensive? Then you'll need to check out some youtube videos if you can't find instore demos. Bestbuy should have a couple, but if not try this video. If you want the clacky noise then Blues are the way to go, but normally I'd recommend reds or browns.

Good luck! And if I notice an error in my post I'll edit soon.

EDIT: Added a couple more mouse recommendations.
