Our Verdict
Corsair SCIMITAR PRO RGB
Razer DeathAdder Elite
The Corsair SCIMITAR PRO RGB is designed for MMOs thanks to its plethora of programmable side buttons. On the other hand, the Razer DeathAdder Elite is more of an FPS mouse as it's much lighter weight, has lower latency, and two side buttons. Both mice aren't recommended for small hands if using fingertip grip, and the Razer may not be great for small hands in the claw grip as well.
