A billion spells, macros for looting, and a ton of other quick decisions that prop up your inevitably ZDPS build are a staple of the MMO genre, as well as MOBAs and whatever game that stretches you beyond what’s on the keyboard. One of the best gaming mice around, the Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite, is a mouse that’s ready to take you beyond keyboard hotkeys by giving you an array of programmable buttons on the side. In effect, the side becomes one of the best gaming keyboards, but for your thumb. And right now its just $60, down $30 from the usual $90. Tap the button below to see it yourself (and double-check if this deal is still on) or keep reading for more info.

Why you should buy the Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite

At its core, the Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite is a solidly-constructed gaming mouse with low latency, up to 18,000 DPI movements, and four-zone RGB backlighting. Its construction is familiar, yet refined, and will fit comfortably under your palm and fingers.

Of course, the thing that elevates the Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite from a good mouse to an “Elite” mouse is the programmable buttons. There are 17 in total, but that’s admittedly a bit of a stretch. It’s great that you can program the right and left mouse buttons, the scroll wheel, and the two buttons sitting below the scroll wheel, of course, but it’s really the 12 buttons on the side that anyone should get excited about. They’re arranged into three rows and four columns in a way that adapts to the curvature of the mouse and hand; no accidental presses from a grazing thumb over upraised buttons. Furthermore, the panel can be adapted to your thumb length, as it slides forward to back. If you mainly just use three buttons, you might slide it to where your thumb rests comfortably near the 1, 2, and 3, for instance. Or, if you’re a full 12 button maniac, you can slide the panel more forward to comfortably rest between the 5 and the 8.

Tap the button below to find the Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite gaming mouse at a price of just $60, a savings of $30 off of the usual $90 price. It won’t be at this price point forever, however, so make sure to check on it now. Then, consider checking out our selection of the best gaming monitors so you can get a better view on the effects of your Corsair’s extra button presses.

Windows 11 is getting a new Screen Tint mode, and your eyes might thank Microsoft
Users can apply custom color overlays to reduce screen intensity and visual fatigue.
Windows 11 on a laptop

Microsoft is testing a new accessibility feature for Windows 11 called Screen Tint, and it could be one of those small additions that make a surprisingly big difference. Instead of changing your display's color temperature like Night Light, Screen Tint applies a customizable color overlay across the entire screen, making bright displays easier on the eyes during long work or gaming sessions.

Apple’s looking at a politically radioactive fix for the memory crisis, and the US government isn’t happy about it
Apple blamed memory costs for your price hike. Its proposed solution involves a Pentagon blacklist.

A few days ago, Apple announced an ugly mid-cycle price hike, blaming the worsening-by-the-day memory crisis. According to the Financial Times, the company is now lobbying the government for approval to buy memory chips from a Chinese company. 

The company in question is CXMT, a Chinese chipmaker that the Pentagon added to its Chinese Military Company blacklist for alleged ties to the Chinese army.

As iPads get pricier, Motorola’s Pad 70 Pro arrives as a solid option… just not for US buyers yet
Great specs, a stylus in the box, and no US launch date: the Moto Pad 70 Pro sounds both impressive and disappointing.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

If you don’t know about Apple’s recent price hike, which affected all the products in its lineup except the iPhone and Apple Watch (for now), you’ve got to be living under some sort of a rock. The revision made all the iPads much more expensive. 

Motorola, however, has just launched a 13-inch tablet that actually sounds good on paper. It’s called the Moto Pad 70 Pro, and it costs around $440 for the baseline model. The catch, however, is that the device isn’t available in the US yet.
