Our Verdict

Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE

Corsair DARKSTAR WIRELESS

The Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE and the Corsair DARKSTAR WIRELESS are gaming mice designed for MMO gaming. The SCIMITAR RGB ELITE is a wired-only model. It has more programmable buttons with a 12-button side panel that can be adjusted forward or backward to suit your grip type and better overall build quality. On the other hand, the DARKSTAR WIRELESS is a wireless model. It only has six side buttons but offers better gaming performance and supports tilt gestures. It also has higher-quality feet.
