For years I have used this mouse, 3,000 hours of Arma 3, 700 of DayZ and many many more from other games. When the cable eventually breaks, I will fit a new USB, when the switches turn to mush I will solder in new switches.
I’m far from a fan boy, especially when it comes to Corsair but the Scimitar, best mouse I have had.
As cool as the hot swap thing is, it’s incredible they don’t sell replacement parts, mine has some faulty buttons that post cleaning somewhat work, but I use them almost as much as the click buttons, and having such an easy replaceable part that’s not sold infuriates me to no end.
I remember when they went from the old form factor in the 2012 version to the new ones where the buttons stick out more. I hated it at the time, but the side buttons are just so useful that I can’t see myself buying any other type of mouse.
