Corsair announces the Scimitar RGB Elite-- a high-performance gaming mouse designed for MOBA and MMO RPG players featuring no less than 17 fully programmable buttons and a custom Pixart 18000 DPI optical sensor.
Built for "maximum durability," the Scimitar RGB Elite has a sturdy scroll wheel, 1.8m braided cable and Omron switches rated for 50 million clicks. The left side houses 12 of the 17 buttons, as arranged in a sculpted and textured 3x4 array. Users can program the buttons for custom macros and button remaps, as well as as adjust their position by 8mm via "Key Slider control system" in order to accommodate for different size hands.
Mouse configuration takes place using iCue software allowing customisation of all buttons as well as on-board RGB lighting. The lighting is divided in 4 zones, specifically the wheel, palm logo, and the sides, and users can synchronise it with other accessories and components making the PC. As for tech specs, the mouse offers a selectable 1000Hz/500Hz/250Hz/125Hz report rate, 18000 DPI PMW3391 sensor adjustable in single DPI steps and three onboard memory profiles.
Also on offer from Corsair is the MM500 Extended 3XL-- an extra-large mouse mat measuring 1220 x 610mm. It is designed to cover the entire gaming area, and as such can easily hold a full-size keyboard, mouse and any number of accessories. The company says the plush rubber mat has a glide-enhanced woven texture surface with "low friction tracking," as well as stitched anti-fray edges to ensure durability even under rigorous daily use.
Both Scimitar RGB Elite and MM500 Extended 3XL are available now.
