this video is brought to you by NCI XCOM great technology selection and service Corsair they completely stole my attention with the strafe RGB gaming keyboard that are reviewed last year but to complete the set they also announced this as well meet the shemitah' RGB MOBA Gaming Mouse priced at $80 this mouse targets the mobile and MMO markets by putting a huge number of customizable shortcut buttons right at our fingertips and also incorporates a unique key slider mechanism that allows gamers to tailor its layout to their liking if you recall the vengeance m90 that was announced back in 2012 it didn't receive a huge amount of Attraction but it was marketed towards MMO and RTS gamers this time Corsair has come back with the Scimitar which adds more functionality along with some really cool features and we are about to find out if it has what it takes to beat the competition diving into the build quality and design the Scimitar looks relatively simple compared to other mobile mice but there are some highlights here the added yellow plastic frame on the left side looks great and for those who don't feel such a loud color fitting their style a standard black version is also available Corsair originally introduced this color scheme with their void headsets for visual aesthetics but it doesn't appeal to everyone this is a huge and heavy Mouse weighing at about 150 grams that's sadly not customizable due to the aluminium piece that's built inside the mouse's center line with that being said that aluminium reinforcements surprisingly does a good job keeping up the weight balance and giving the shemitah' a solid feel the outer shell is coated with a soft touch rubber surface that was very comfortable to use although just like any Mouse that comes with this coating it starts to wear off over time the size of the Scimitar is something to take in account since users with small hands may find it challenging to wrap their palms around the body I didn't have any issues since my palms are large but keep that in mind as for grips you'll find one on the right side that is perfectly placed for your ring and pinky fingers while on the left side there are two sets of side buttons three each that with the texture which does a pretty good job of holding your thumb what you won't find is a thumb rest since coarser figures your thumb will be using the shortcut buttons the high curve design of the shimmy tars top did support my palms really well but it might get sweaty during those intensive gaming sessions there is no room for air to pass through since the palm touches the surface the whole time I'm not sure if this is just me but let me know what you think about this in the comments down below Corsair packed a whopping 12,000 DPI optical sensor into the shimmy tar and honestly I wonder who would ever take advantage of this setting unless if you have multiple high-resolution screens right in front of you that you would want to quickly navigate into personally I think it's a marketing gimmick but anyway the performance is none of the less stunning I tend to prefer obstacle gaming mice for both editing and gaming accuracy was on point with no lag which complemented my aiming and really boosted responsiveness I used an aluminum mouse pad for testing the shemitah' which allowed the sensor to shine and resulted in excellent tracking plus smooth movement there are a total of 17 programmable buttons on the Scimitar this includes the primary left and right click buttons the scroll wheel button 2d flashes buttons right behind the scroll wheel and last the 12 buttons on the left side of the mouse now an interesting feature on this mouse is the key slider basically if you're having any trouble reaching any of the left side buttons you can adjust the whole set a little backwards or forwards and then tighten it into place with the included hex screwdriver on the bottom of the mouse it's a nice feature and I had it place all the way in the front since my thumbs were perfectly fine reaching all the buttons the primary left and right click buttons have a nice tactile response to them this follows along with the DPI shaped buttons and the scrolling button which indeed requires a lot of pressure to press but the scroll steps are nicely defined the 12 side buttons have great feedback as well although they do feel mushy when a button is pressed moving into lighting the shemitah' has for letting zones the subtle lighting on the scroll wheel logo at the back the 12 mm long buttons on the side and the lighting and the front all these zones are RGB meaning you can customize them to any color your choice Corsa has once again surprised me in this department the lighting transitions are so smooth with no latency so it really blends in perfectly with the strafe RGB if you happen to pick that up as well each zone can be customized to a different effect or one single effect can be applied to all four zones there are four effects in total rainbow solid color color shift and color pulse corsair skew engine software is pretty straightforward you are greeted with the assignments tab where you can program or remap all the seventeen buttons to your preference lying tab lets you customize the lighting effects of each zones as discussed earlier and as you can see they're very well organized kudos Corsair the performance in DPI tab allows you to adjust the five different steps of dpi sensitivity the pointer speed enable or disable angle snapping and adjust the liftoff distance all these settings will be stored inside the microprocessor built inside the shim ATAR ok there are a few things I need to establish with the shemitah' I have a lot of mixed feelings with the mouse like the softest rubber coating on the shell it's so comfortable yet it will wear out over time the high curve design on the top part of the mouse is an excellent support for your palms but there is no gap for air movement and that will eventually lead to sweaty palms the optical sensor is excellent for gaming although I don't think the 12-thousand DK a marketing strategy might help with their sales because I was perfectly comfortable with my 800 to 1600 dpi settings the 12 side buttons are nice and tactile plus all of them are in reach for your thumb with the key slider being an excellent feature the lighting is also excellent and it blends in perfectly within your setup it's more than obvious the corsair scimitar focuses in on a narrow yet quickly growing segment of the gaming peripheral market this thing is laser targeted at mobile and MMO players in that respect it does quite well though there's a steep learning curve when it comes to successfully interacting with all those buttons particularly when the in-game action becomes frantic over time you will get a hang of it and courses excellent cue software will be there holding your hand while gamers who prefer the first-person shooter genre will surely find its primary feature although shortcut buttons to be a needless add-on there are those who will benefit from it this is actually one of the first MMO centric mice we reviewed so the jury is still out regarding how well the shemitah' fares against its direct competition so what do you guys think of the shemitah' from Corsair is it something that you would consider let us know in the comments
