Our Verdict
Corsair SCIMITAR PRO RGB
Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE
The Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE is an upgraded version of the Corsair SCIMITAR PRO RGB. It has an improved sensor with a broader CPI range and less CPI variation. On the other hand, the SCIMITAR PRO RGB has a marginally better click latency, but it's likely too small to make a noticeable difference. Both mice are best suited for a palm grip for all but extra large hands, but they're also well-suited for a claw grip for all hand sizes and a fingertip grip for all but small hands.
