The top cover of the mouse chassis is coated with soft rubber, which offers a nice feel but at the same time it would pick up lint and skin oils after some use. Its contoured shape is ideal for claw or palm grips, depending on the size of the hand:

Between the left and right buttons, we do have an enhanced 24-ratchet scroll wheel, with better durability and precision when compared to the older model. As we have seen with other high-end models, the SCIMITAR RGB ELITE does incorporate Omron switches that have an endurance of 50 million actuations. Nearby, we do have the DPI cycle button along with the profile cycle button:

On the edge of the left button, we do also have a white CORSAIR logo:

The 12-button side panel is made of poly carbon and includes a patented technology only available from CORSAIR, which implies sliding the entire button cluster up to 8mm forward or backward:

The contoured back of the mouse does also feature a RGB-enabled logo:

The right-side panel of the mouse comes with a triangle-shaped rubber texture and was designed for resting our ring and pinky fingers:

Underside the mouse, we could easily spot four PTFE feet, but also the custom PixArt native 18000 DPI sensor lens. CORSAIR has cooperated with the company for a long time in order to deliver optimally tuned performance and for this model, the DPI can be adjusted from 100 in 1 DPI increments. The sensor can track and report the position of the cursor at speeds of up to 400 inches per second, with a mouse acceleration of up to 50G:

By using the supplied Allen key, we can use the interface for locking-unlocking the 12-key assembly, in order to position it as desired:

The Key Slider Control System can be pushed right to the front:
