I can't be the only one like this... but with mice that have lots of buttons on the side like this I always tend to press some of them by accident.

I own a similar multi side buttons mouse (logitech G604). Love it for all games! No issue pressing the wrong side button! My left arm has only to concentrate with a s d w and q e keys.

Corsair are completely out to lunch if they think this is anywhere near what enthusiasts want. And $170? L to the O to the L. I'd take a 3000 year old Viper Ultimate over this crap any day.

It's more expensive than most of Corsair's own gaming keyboards!

I own a Logitech G604 (and 2x G602) and don't suffer from that issue. Perhaps it takes a day to get used to, but we adapt fairly easily.

Exactly, the amount of functions, toggles, and using shift or control double-functions you can map in are so handy, compared to having keycombos all over the keyboard. I cannot do without anymore, not in any game nor in any other productivity program like chrome, excel and sorts. This mouse seems to really target the G604 crowd tho, which seems, as with many Logitech products, to be waiting in vain for a successor product. I'll give this one a honest consideration...

...but as pointed out above, Corsair does another bold job when it comes to their price-point, 170usd is too high. On the other hand, claiming this mouse tailors to no enthousiasts at all (and by extend claiming their product managers are clueless and people like blurp33 and myself do not exist) is somewhat over the top. I see this kind of thinking here often, where when people see a product they themselves do not care for, think to speak on behalf of the entire customer group...

The prices of mice are kind of obscene these days. I bought a Roccat Kone XP and it was £90, which is too expensive but I liked the shape/layout. After a few months, the mouse wheel button started double clicking. So I opened up the mouse and the switch was the cheapest TTC switch you can get, just utter rubbish that you'd find in a £5 budged office mouse. They done that to literally save like 10 cents on one that would have lasted way longer. Its just scummy and pathetic, and honestly I highly doubt this mouse would be any different, there is no way, NO way its worth 170 euros, they're just taking the mickey out of people.

Yep but I guess I should thank em since after having mice double click one after the other I decided I am fixing em and not paying em again so I did my research and brought the Khali gm4 red switches solder em my self and now the mice work like new ..... As a response .... I guess I now have mice to last me for loooong time ....also it just cost me 10 euros for 18 switches ...so 9 mice to fix .....I have 10 switches left 😛
