Razer Naga Pro vs Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite - expensive vs affordable

[@markb9896]

Been using my G600 since 2012 and it has just started to give me issues, random disconnects, rgb completely stops working, etc. I thought it was the usb port but it is not (tested on 3 PCs) then thought it was the software so I updated that, again no go. After comparing several MMO mice I chose the Scimitar and not blindly. I went to my local Micro Center and tested several and based on my grip, comfort and ergonomics, thanks for the review.

[@arstulex]

I've used all three of the 'main' MMO mice at some point and while the G600 _feels_ higher quality in the hand due to its weight I also find it to have the worst side button panel out of the three. The buttons are simply too 'tactile' and require too much force to press as opposed to the mechanical switches the other two mice use for their side panel. The mixture of the higher weight and stiffer side buttons tires your hand/wrist out pretty quickly.

[@davidgast3175]

The ability to change between thumb plates may seem like a pro, but in my experience you'll stick with the one you like most and the problem with the mouse is that after a lot of use the connections of the thumb plates break down and will disconnect in the middle of gaming.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Probably true.

[@mecagoengogleplus6177]

I bought the razer naga trinity yesterday. After a couple of hours of use I started to have problems with the side panel, I have returned it and I am going to try it with the corsair that I have never had one and with the previous razer I also had problems with the button (after a long time of use). Perhaps the pro version of the razer naga is more solid, there are also about 50 euros difference between the naga pro and the naga trinity or the scimitar. So my decision after what happened to me with the trinity is going to be the corsair scimitar

[@PegeCovers]

I swap them multiple times per day.

[@brandon9689]

I've about had it with my naga Trinity failing during important moments. I have to remove and attach the 12 button plate to get it to work again when it fails.

[@andrewmarchitto8461]

While I absolutely love the naga, been using it for years, I've gone through 5 of them. I do not abuse my mouse and I take care of my stuff. However, I've had many issues with them. Two of my mice ended up having issues with the left click. For example, if I was playing an FPS game and I would hold down left click and my gun would fire and then stop and then fire again. The mouse thought I was letting go of left click while i wasn't. The other 3 mice ended up having issues with the laser. I would pick up the mouse and my cursor would jump up. Like if I had my cursor in the middle of my screen and I picked up my mouse, the cursor would jump to the top of the screen. Because of this, I just ordered the scimitar pro. I hope it works better.

Is the Corsair mouse working well for you? If you don’t mind let me know along with what game you’re using it for. Debating about buying one for myself as I had the same issue with the nagas.

Hey, hows the mouse holding so far? Are you satisfied with it? Id love to hear your thoughts

[@KodiakJedi]

I had the Corsair for the past year but it just started double clicking about 25% of the time. When I go to close a window...if there's a 2nd window behind it...it closes that too. It's super annoying. Have had bad luck with Razer in the past but I am going to give the Naga Pro a shot. The wireless and blue tooth so I can control my 2nd computer with the same mouse is a game changer. Hopefully I don't regret swapping.

what u recomend razer or naga to use?

[@gregorycorvinus4785]

in the scimitar on the side 12 keypad, the bottom row of buttons is very low to the surface and therefore the bottom row of buttons is inconvenient to press, in this regard the naga is more convenient

[@ExiaLupus]

Very disappointing that the scimitar doesn't have a tilting scroll wheel. Not sure how they intend for push to talk to be used ingame when you're using the keypad for abilities.

[@devincampbell5007]

The scroll wheel is bad in general. I hope that they make a newer version with a tilting scroll wheel (which would also require more quality build in that part of the mouse than the existing 2 right now)

[@kabloom6776]

Very unpopular opinion but I own both Corsair Scimitar Elite and Naga Trinity, and I far prefer the Naga trinity, hence why I’m upgrading to Pro at this point.

I just bought the Razer Naga Pro a few weeks ago. I absolutely love it. FYI, the charge time is amazing. If you turn off the RGB, you can get over 7 days (using the 2.4 Naga Pro dongle) on a single charge and it takes only 4 hours to recharge. It's expensive but worth it.

[@SchnitzelPolizei]

I got the normal Naga Trinity 2 years ago and that bish is dead. Guys, don't get the Naga. I know it looks amazing and the side panels are awesome but yours will probably break after a year or less. It'll start with the left/right mouse buttons double clicking and then you can't drag a window around your desktop... if you use it for MMOs, you won't be able to look around with right click, you won't be able to walk with LB clicked, etc. It's horrible for that price. Also, when I got my Naga Trinity, the side panels wouldn't work properly and I had to really press them into the mouse so that they would connect. I often had them disconnect when I was in the middle of a raid, etc. I know the PRO looks enchanting... but don't get mesmerized by it T_T

hey how u worked with corsair scimitar? u prefer naga razer or scimitar to recommend? im looking for something

[@qskii2365]

The Naga Pro is easily more than 2x the price of the Corsair, yet it's only rated for 20 million more clicks than the Corsair (70 vs 50). It's definitely slightly better than the corsair in terms of build quality, but it isn't that much - much of the appeal is the gimmicks (which aren't a bad thing) that the Naga has. But for the price I think you're definitely being overcharged by Razer since it only has 20 mill more clicks than the corsair, that will probably extend the life by 4 to 6 months but for the price you could get 2 of the Corsairs.

[@arstulex]

You have to consider if you're actually going to get that 50 million clicks from the Corsair before its scroll wheel/middle click craps out on you. I don't know about the Naga as I haven't used one in years, but my Corsair's scroll wheel started malfunctioning long before the left click had any issues (and apparently this is a common issue with them).

I used the original Naga for years, been through two or 3 of them, loved them enough to keep replacing them with the same mouse. Minecraft will use up your limited left mouse clicks pretty quickly. I have recently picked up the Scimitar, and I have some thoughts. I find it easier to know which thumb buttons I'm pressing on the Naga, the raised lines were more obvious to me than the texture on the Scimitar's buttons. I also do miss the side press on the wheel, that was my autorun in Guild wars 2. While I do play GW2 with these, I find they really shine in Minecraft, and also in FPS games for weapon selection. With that in mind, the 6 button plate on the Naga looks like it would be excellent for FPS gaming. The fact that you can slide the thumb buttons on the Scimitar seems like a useless gimmick to me. On the Naga, Razer put them in the correct place to begin with.

[@maxthrust976]

I have come back to this now that I've had more time with Corsair's products. I have a bunch of them, the Scimitar mouse, a keyboard, the HS80 headset, and the silly rgb headset stand that basically does nothing, because it garbles the audio if I plug the adapter for the HS80 into it rather than straight into my pc. I like some of the hardware alright, but oh man, do I ever hate the Corsair iCUE software. It fails so frequently for me. I pretty regularly have to disconnect and reconnect my mouse or keyboard, or restart my pc, to regain full function of my devices. It's pretty infuriating. I never had these problems with Razer software.

I only use the 12 button plate and I even moved one of the top buttons over to the side. Drilled a hole, soldered wires between the mouse switch and a cherry low profile blue switch and plopped a keycap stem on it. It's my hypershift. I use it daily for work and don't understand why more people don't use an mmo mouse for productivity. BUT, i've been putting up with this horrible software for way too long now. The thing updates almost daily, you would think they would fix the bugs by now. Not only that, everytime it asks me if I want to keep local setting or cloud settings I feel like i'm playing russion roulette. I cannot tell you how many times my long list of macros were mysteriously converted to "Sequence". And the connectivity issues. Just today, my mappings reverted to defualt. Synapse was running.

The G600 doesn't use mechanical switches for its side buttons, it uses tactile buttons which require more force to actually press down. The sniffness of the buttons and the weight of the mouse itself is not a good combo and your hand/wrist gets tired real quick because you're basically having to clench the thing to hold it in place when you press those buttons.
