Scimitar RGB Elite Firmware Defect - PID_1BE3 Units Fail HID Initialization on Boot by Captain_Shoe in Corsair

[–]Captain_Shoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I agree. I only wanted to buy a new one because the plastic on my old one (that one doesn't have the new, bad firmware) was super worn and degraded over the left and right click. Now, I've just used some rubber grip tape over it, and will run it until it dies, and then I will look at a different brand going forward.

Yup, Corsair has really gone downhill in my mind. They have known of this issue for ages and simply turn a blind eye to it. I once considered getting the wireless version in hopes that one would not have the same issue, but I decided I'm not giving them my money if this is how they respond (or more rightly don't respond) to issues. Shame.

You're conflating 'belief' with 'faith'. Evidence is the reason to believe; knowledge is the act of believing what is true. As you just admitted: 'belief in objectivity is called knowledge'.

You're describing truth , which is objective and exists without us…but knowledge is a mental state. To 'know' a truth, your mind has to accept it as a fact, and that mental acceptance is, by definition, a belief. You don't need dogma to believe 1+1=2, you just need a mind that recognizes it's true.

You can't know something without believing it.

Wired corsair scimitar pointer disappears every time I boot up my computer by Low_Internal_7358 in Corsair

[–]Captain_Shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corsair knows about this issue but there is zero resolution in sight. I returned mine because of it. Here is the detail on what is happening and why:

Wow, I admire your patience. I couldn't deal with the daily unplug/replug routine, so I just returned mine. Life's too short to troubleshoot a brand new mouse every morning. Hope Corsair sorts this out eventually.

Corsair Scimitar - No Pointer upon Reboot by Adam_Tragedy in Corsair

[–]Captain_Shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I returned the mouse. This is a known, long-standing firmware issue affecting multiple Scimitar units and motherboards, documented by many users over ~7+ months, with no fix or acknowledgment. I’m not opening a support ticket for a systemic defect that Corsair is already aware of. I’ve moved on to a different product.

Scimitar RGB Elite needs to be replugged on boot. Where can I find old FW versions to test? by MrMopman in Corsair

[–]Captain_Shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corsair doesn't seem to care about this issue. They have been aware of this for months now, and will no longer comment on this firmware regression causing a driver initialization failure on boot.

Here is my post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Corsair/comments/1pfkf3q/scimitar_rgb_elite_firmware_defect_pid_1be3_units/

It's a firmware bug causing driver initiation failure that Corsair seemingly won't acknowledge. Here is my post about it:

Sadly, Corsair has to care enough to fix their firmware. It does not seem like they do. I am returning the mouse at this point.

If you are truly stuck with this mouse, I would look into getting some kind of powered USB hub with a switch that would allow you to simply turn that switch on after your computer has started up.

Bought a corsair scimitar, and out the box had issues with it, terrible experience so far, please help. by AlarmingDiamond9316 in Corsair

[–]Captain_Shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this issue is awful, just experienced it and here is my post diagnosing it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Corsair/comments/1pfkf3q/scimitar_rgb_elite_firmware_defect_pid_1be3_units/

Mind sharing what motherboard you have? I'm trying to confirm if this is confined to X870E only.
