Our Verdict

Corsair SCIMITAR PRO RGB

UtechSmart VENUS

The Corsair SCIMITAR PRO RGB is a better wired MMO mouse than the UtechSmart VENUS. The Corsair's side button panel can slide forward and back to fit your hand more comfortably, and the mouse is a bit lighter. It feels better made and is better suited for people with small or extra-large hands. The Corsair's click latency is quite a bit lower, and they both have a great sensor performance. On the other hand, the UtechSmart has more programmable buttons.
