Back in 2017, we were checking out the CORSAIR SCIMITAR PRO RGB, which did feature a 16000 DPI PMW3367 optical sensor, onboard profile storage, two separate color schemes but also fully customizable buttons and RGB lighting. The mouse was designed for people that needed more macro keys for mapping purposes in games such as MOBA or MMO but would also help when working with a lot of productivity tools.

The new model carries the SCIMITAR RGB ELITE naming and features an updated PixArt PMW3391 optical sensor, with a maximum resolution of 18000 DPI, a repositionable 12-button Key Slider Control System, a total of 17 programmable buttons, onboard profile storage, but also four-zone dynamic RGB lighting.
