MMO mice · WoW action bars
Both mice put twelve thumb buttons on WoW Action Bar 1. The Scimitar adds an 8 mm Key Slider and Bluetooth; the M913 keeps a fixed budget grid at about 170 g.
For WoW, get the Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless SE if a fixed 12-button grid leaves a row out of reach; its Key Slider moves all 12 buttons 8 mm. Get the Redragon M913 if the fixed grid already fits and you want the budget wireless USB-C option at about 170 g. Both can recharge over USB-C and map Action Bar 1 under the thumb.
The Scimitar wins when thumb reach needs tuning, Bluetooth, lighter listed weight, and three onboard profiles. The M913 wins when the fixed grid already fits and you want USB-C recharge without paying Corsair prices.

Choose it if: a fixed twelve-button grid leaves the top or bottom row outside comfortable thumb reach. Slide the Key Slider up to 8 mm until your thumb rests on the middle row.
Tradeoff: Corsair iCUE setup and a higher buy-in than Redragon; Corsair lists 114 g versus about 170 g on the M913.

Choose it if: the fixed four-by-three grid already lines up with your thumb and you want wireless USB-C recharge on a budget listing.
Tradeoff: the dual-mode M913 has no Key Slider or Bluetooth and weighs more on the listed specs. Owner threads say its stock skates can drag more than a worn Scimitar glide.
Check current price on AmazonThe twelve side buttons map to WoW Action Bar 1: keys 1 through 0, minus, and equals. The Scimitar ships with that default side map; program the same grid on the M913 in Redragon's dual-mode Windows software. Put your rotation on the row your thumb rests on, then stack cooldowns and defensives on Shift or Ctrl hotbars.
If the far row sits outside your grip, the Scimitar's Key Slider moves the whole panel 8 mm. One r/wow thread describes room for the buttons to move until the thumb rests on the #5 key. The M913 uses the same grid in a fixed position, so plan binds around whichever row your thumb naturally hits. Reddit durability talk contrasts long Scimitar skate feel with buying an M913 to replace when wear shows up; several WoW threads also warn that Corsair iCUE can feel less trustworthy than SteelSeries GG, so export your profile and save it to one of the Scimitar's three onboard profiles before you rely on it in raid.
Blizzard's input-broadcasting rules mean one press should trigger one action, so avoid macros that fire multiple casts. Follow the WoW MMO mouse setup guide for the mapping walkthrough and see the WoW setup hub for wider desk context.
Map a twelve-slot hotbar 1:1 to the side grid. Shift and Ctrl hotbars stack the same way; the Key Slider helps when far rows miss, but only if the fixed grid is the problem.
These diagrams show a suggested key map, not a required rotation.
Both mice cover Action Bar 1; weight, reach adjustment, and connection modes separate them.

Corsair iCUE runs on Windows. iCUE for macOS exists but detects USB or receiver connections, not Bluetooth, and support for this Scimitar Elite Wireless SE model is unconfirmed. Three onboard profiles work without iCUE after you save them, which matters when you do not want raid night to depend on Corsair's desktop app.
Redragon's dual-mode software is Windows only. Download the 2.4 GHz Dual-Mode package for the M913, not the tri-mode package for newer SKUs. Onboard binds persist after programming; Redragon's FAQ notes Mac use as plug-and-play with saved onboard settings.
Neither vendor ships official configuration apps for Linux. Onboard profiles on both mice still carry saved binds without the desktop software running.
Move the Key Slider up to 8 mm, then test Action Bar 1 from your normal grip before you remap every bind.
Recharge over USB-C while playing and accept the heavier fixed grid on the dual-mode M913.
Elgato Virtual Stream Deck can mirror those actions on the Scimitar's side buttons.
Neither mouse is ambidextrous, neither makes a dense twelve-button grid intuitive on day one, and neither replaces thumb-reach testing before you buy. Both are right-handed MMO shapes; a smaller symmetrical mouse is a different purchase. iCUE and Redragon's dual-mode stack are separate ecosystems, so export profiles before you change PCs.
For WoW Action Bar 1, both mice cover the same twelve-key thumb grid. Choose the Scimitar Elite Wireless SE if a fixed grid leaves the top or bottom row out of comfortable reach; its Key Slider moves the whole panel 8 mm. Choose the Redragon M913 if the fixed grid already fits your thumb and you want the budget wireless option with USB-C recharge at about 170 g listed weight.
The Key Slider moves the entire twelve-button side panel up or down 8 mm with the included Allen key. It does not change button size or spacing on the panel itself. Use it when your thumb naturally rests on the middle row but the far rows feel awkward.
No. The dual-mode Redragon M913 ships with the mouse, manual, detachable USB-C cable, and 2.4 GHz nano receiver. The Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless SE also has no dock; both mice recharge over USB-C. Neither box includes a charging dock.
The Scimitar Elite Wireless SE stores three onboard profiles once you save them in iCUE. The M913 keeps programmed binds in onboard memory after you set them in Redragon's Windows dual-mode software; Redragon's FAQ notes Mac use as plug-and-play with saved onboard settings. Neither vendor offers official Linux configuration apps.
After you program binds on a Windows PC, both mice can run saved onboard settings on a Mac without the desktop apps open. Corsair iCUE for macOS exists but detects USB or receiver connections, not Bluetooth, and support for this Scimitar model is unconfirmed. Redragon's dual-mode software is Windows only.
