This mouse is crazy.

Corsair is known to develop equipment mostly for pc gamers and streamers. Their catalogue of products range from high-flow pc cases, comfy chairs, high-spec pc parts and peripherals like mouses and keyboards. We use several products of them daily and are quite fond of their design and performance, such as the Corsair K57 RGB Wireless Keyboard and the Corsair Dark Core Pro mouse.

In their newest peripheral line-up, we’re beginning to see the synergy Corsair can produce with their sister companies such as Elgato. The Elgato company produces another well-known product known as the StreamDeck, a high quality keypad with multiple lcd animated hotkeys for various uses.

And now there is this new mouse, the Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless SE that combines the performance of the Corsair mouses with the functionality of the StreamDeck in your thumbs reach.

We’ve seen mouses with more than regular quick buttons, mostly used for some additional quick hotkeys in MMO player styles, but the Corsair Scimitar Elite immediatly enables you to set it up for the StreamDecks functionality in their dashboard, granting non-players and mostly streamers a huge benefit.

Setup one of the 16 customizable buttons via the StreamDeck software to have a thumb ready hotkey. For example, set it up to start recording your stream while you’re already Live, clip a good part of your stream, divert chat into a safety mode, play something from your soundboard, initiate a raffle in your chat or simply switch to a different scene in your OBS. It’ll keep your hands on the steering wheel while driving your stream.

Other specs of this product include an adjustable Key Slider to position the hotkeys in the right position for your thumb, it can be either wireless or plugged in, snipers can rely on the Marksman S 33K sensor using a whopping 26.000dpi and it has well over 100 hours of battery before it needs a 90 minute refill.

When it comes to optimization of your workflow as a stream or as a gamer, this mouse is in our opinion a must have.
