Why do you only offer the Scimitar, an RGB mouse, in yellow?

Aren't RGB peripherals supposed to match things?

 

I shouldn't have to paint something I paid 90$ for

I'm with you on it looking butt-ugly and not having to paint a $90 mouse just to get it to match with my color scheme.

But I do agree, Corsair was dumb for this.

yah I mean it's rgb. Make it color neutral! 

Though if I were to paint one of these, it IS in an area where you don't grip it, so it wouldn't be that bad. Like texture wise

Indian brands generally offer same quality and features mouse for well under 20$. So, i wouldn't be bothered buying it ever in my life.

to me it's all about a mouse for editing, and I'm willing to spend a lot on a mouse I like. Like my g600. Close to perfect, but I don't game on it. It would cause hand pain. And it does with editing occasionally. Not the right shape for me. But the buttons are perfect. 

I'm looking through my options now and I'm also looking at things like the roccat nyth 

http://www.roccat.org/en-US/Products/Gaming-Mice/Nyth/

but unfortunately nothing I've looked at so far has buttons like the g600. The g600 is perfect expect holding it. I have a really weird grip to compensate for it's shape (and I can't game like that)

I agree the RGB model should be all black so you can pick the colour

HOWEVER, I do think the yellow on their peripherals is very attractive andmakes them look unique

I have bigger hands. I'm 6'2", so I'm a little towards the longer finger side. For its small size it's wide and odd for my rightmost fingers to grip.

sorry, everything in that gif if really dusty. Phone is broken so I had to use my webcam since my backup phone is shit 

 

FYI I like the SS rival and I'd ow one if I gamed more. Problem is 90% of the time I'm doing something that benefits from all of the side buttons

Yeah, I really have considered the mouse since it has all the features I could ever want.

But yellow isn't a color I would ever intentionally go for in any build of mine.

 

Oh well. I'll be doing paint mods down the line anyways. If I do decide to splurge on a mouse, I might get this one and add it to the pile of things to coat.
