Our Verdict
Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE
Razer Naga X
The Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE is a better MMO gaming mouse than the Razer Naga X, but it's less versatile overall. The Razer has better mouse feet, a better cable, and it's much lighter. You can also set a Hypershift button to program a secondary layer of controls. Unfortunately, its software is only compatible with Windows. On the other hand, the Corsair has a more precisely adjustable CPI and a lower lift-off distance. Its software is compatible with Windows and macOS. Both mice are well-suited for all grip types, but the Corsair is more accommodating for smaller hands.
