Our Verdict

Logitech G604 LIGHTSPEED

Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE

The Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE is an outstanding MMO gaming mouse, but the Logitech G604 LIGHTSPEED is more versatile. The Logitech connects wirelessly with a USB receiver or via Bluetooth. It also has six buttons and has a thumb rest. Comparatively, the Corsair is a wired mouse with an adjustable 12-button side panel and a pinky rest. The Corsair is well-suited for all grip types and nearly all hand sizes, while the Logitech is suitable for all grip types but likely more comfortable for larger hands.
