We are faced with a mouse designed to play both MOBA and MMO thanks to the fact that it has 12 buttons on the side The games to which we can assign different commands, speeding up access to certain actions in the games, and which are in addition to the 5 others, so that the 17 in total are programmable. Of course, we can only store up to 5 different profiles in memory, which may not seem like a lot at first, however, there are many more of them than in most mice on the market.
The Scimitar RGB Elite uses a sensor PixArt PWM3391 with a resolution of up to 18,000 DPI and switches OMRON. So in this regard, it is not poor in performance. Of course, if you want to get the most out of it, you will have to install the CORSAIR iCUE drivers from which we can also control the RGB lighting of the mouse, the DPI of the sensor, as well as program its large number of buttons and calibrate it. the.
The last thing we have left is the connectivity, which is wired through USB, which is essential for the CORSAIR mouse to be cheaper than the Razer mouse. So unless you are one of the people who play away from the mouse screen.
Razer Naga Pro Mouse
If, on the other hand, cables are a nuisance and we want a mouse without them, then the Razer Naga Pro is our best ally, it’s a mouse with specifications very similar to the CORSAIR Scimitar RGB Elite, since at the beginning we have the same panel 12 buttons on the side, which are added to the 7 others for a total of 19 programmable buttons. Both the Razer mouse and the CORSAIR mouse allow us to store up to 5 different macros in its memory.
The main differential feature between CORSAIR and Razer mice is that in the latter we can change the side panel of the mouse to several different, so that in addition to the 12 button panel we can choose another 6 button panel or with the simpler one with only 2 buttons. They all come standard and are easy to install.
Either way, considering that we are dealing with a wireless mouse, one of the key questions is: how long does the battery last? Well, it depends on the connection we use, because under Bluetooth despite more latency, it will last us 150 hours
And how is its performance? Razer’s exclusive optical sensor allows you to reach up to 20,000 DPI resolution in combination with its switches with a response time of 0.2 milliseconds, therefore their performance in First Person Shooter games where reaction speed is important. So it is a much better option for these types of games.
Razer or CORSAIR, who has the better mouse?
If you go for the specs and your pocket doesn’t itch, we recommend going for the Razer model without thinking about it, but our preference is for the CORSAIR model, because in exchange for the loss of wireless connectivity, we we win in the fact that the price cuts us almost in half.
In terms of performance, the Razer Mouse is a bit better, especially since its sensor and optical switches are more precise, but this difference is more noticeable in the first-person shooter genre, as we are playing it. a MOBA or an MMO, we won’t. notice the difference, due to the typical cooldown of character actions. Thus, depending on the type of games we play, the Naga Pro does not have an advantage over the CORSAIR model.
Another weak point that we see in the Razer mouse compared to the CORSAIR mouse is that, although it is wireless, it does not have fast charging via USB-C and it is necessary to purchase a docking station. ‘separate reception which can raise the price of the device up to 200 dollars. In any case, we can use the micro-USB cable supplied as standard to use it while charging, however, the grace of being able to charge the mouse while we are not using the PC is lost and the charge is much more slow.
Final verdict
Our verdict? Unless you’re a Razer fan, we think it’s not worth the price difference when the CORSAIR mouse offers almost the same performance for half the price – plus you can use the price difference to buy one. good mechanical keyboard and have the best possible combination or other component or peripheral for your computer.
