+# Scimitar Elite × SignalRGB
+
+Goal: run a **wired Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite** (USB `1B1C:1B8B`) entirely from SignalRGB and uninstall iCUE.
+
+> **Status: placeholder.** Nothing tested yet — see [TODO](TODO.md).
+
+## What SignalRGB already provides (built-in "Legacy Corsair Mouse" plugin, SignalRGB 2.5.80)
+- Lighting (logo, side keys, status LED)
+- DPI stages + sniper button
+- Per-button **"Side Button N Output"** settings for all 12 side buttons (defaults Num 1 … Num +), plus SignalRGB Macros
+
+## Contents
+- [docs/button-map.md](docs/button-map.md) — planned side-button assignments
+- [docs/icue-removal.md](docs/icue-removal.md) — uninstall checklist
+- [TODO.md](TODO.md)

+# TODO
+
+- [ ] Confirm the mouse shows as `PID_1B8B` and "Side Button N Output" settings appear in SignalRGB
+- [ ] Decide button assignments → fill in docs/button-map.md
+- [ ] Set DPI stages / colours
+- [ ] Uninstall iCUE + Corsair services (docs/icue-removal.md)
+- [ ] Verify after reboot that SignalRGB starts and mappings work
+- [ ] Note behaviour when SignalRGB is closed (buttons fall back to onboard defaults)

+# iCUE removal checklist (placeholder)
+
+- [ ] Configure everything in SignalRGB first
+- [ ] Uninstall iCUE (Settings → Apps)
+- [ ] Confirm these are gone (SignalRGB treats them as conflicts):
+  `iCUE.exe`, `Corsair.Service.exe`, `CorsairDeviceControlService.exe`, `iCUEDevicePluginHost.exe`,
+  `Corsair.Service.CpuIdRemote64.exe`, `Corsair.Service.DisplayAdapter.exe`, `CueLLAccessService.exe`
+- [ ] Reboot and re-test
