SteelSeries Rival 105 Optical Gaming Mouse (Black)

I've had/have a bunch of gaming-centric mice in my time. I currently use an Alienware pro, a Razer Mamba, a G600 and a Naga trinity exclusively for WoW.Enter, the Rival 500.The TL;DR version is: It has the benefits of all the mice, and the cons of none (except maybe to some: the bulkiness, which personally i kinda LIKE)I'm only going to cover the things that aren't already covered multiple times by every damn review and comparison you will read/see about the R500.The weight / bulkiness:Some people find this a negative factor, people like me find it a positive. It adds a total sense of 'quality' to an item the heavier and well-built it is. It's human nature to feel that way. For those of you pansies who like the featherweight types, the "heavy" weight is easily made up for by the plethora of mouse sensitivity options. It even has a decelerate function, which helps slow your mouse down, even you are at 160000000 DPI it brings the mouse to a silky smooth halt depending on how you set it up. i mean wtf that is epic for any mouse to have.Macros:Damn easy to set up when i compare it to the interface of the rest of the mice. Especially coughcoughrazercoughVibrations? yes please:When I'm not busy setting timers for the vibrations and promptly shoving the mouse up my behind waiting for them to kick in, I use it to tell me when my cooldown or wtvr is complete. less fun than option 1, but more function.You can assign 10, yes TEN different type of vibrations/tactile feedback for EACH button upon press, upon release, upon the coming of armageddon, you choose!Useless stuff that no one cares or should care about:You can remove the back rubber thingy. and make your own thingy! WHAT! yes hold on while i buy a damn 3d printer so i can shove my name into something that is angled towards the damn table surface and literally no one can ever read. There are some uh... removable? pads under the mouse. well they look removable, but theyre stuck. with glue. and they dont stick back after your excited ass tries to half remove them thinking its a weight adjuster. Spoiler alert: ITS NOT.It does not have "hypershift" functionality. (you cant set 2 actions to the same key by using a 2nd modifier key)Compared to the naga, its "smoother", has more grip/control and the buttons are easier to not screw up. You will never waste your ulti on that creep ever again.Compared to the AW, well AW is mostly for the looks so nvm im going to skip this one and save AW some embarrassment..Compared to the G600, its a toughie. the G600 is a hell of a mouse. The modifier on the right of the g600 has saved me tons of re-programming and has added a lot of ease. Thats a big +1 for the G600. I can't honestly say the rival 500 is BETTER, though i can say they are on par. Whats puts the 500 back up on par is the easy of the side buttons. It is just hella easy moving your thumb more of an up,down,left,right for your actions than the G600's more linear, harder to memorize sort of thumb movement.The mamba is better in some cases. mainly, if you do work on the same computer that you game. The mamba is such an "effortless" mouse. has all the right buttons in all the right places and hypershift is a godsend if you use it for work.When it comes down to gaming the 500 kicks it in the butt tho.Long story short, want a good mouse that covers all the angles? get the rival 500. Want another mouse? Get that instead, always wondering "ermergerd i couldve just moved my thumb up down left right instead of this bullsh**" and then kill yourself.kbye.

people who have large palms may look elsewhere, I previously used mad catz r.a.t 3 , logitech g302 ,G 300 , dragon war. Among these deathadder is the most ergonomic one, its so comfy and logitech g302 is a durable one. so if u really used to having a bigger mouse , probably you won’t like it. But overall rival 110 is a great mouse. Maybe my palm feels the mouse a tad smaller. I can say corsair harpoon is more comfy if u really looking for a palm grip and u have large palm go for harpoon. Its good in this price point.

its really good, accurate sensor, decent LED and a GREAT shape, upgraded from g102 cause that mouse started double clicking. this mouse gives you 30million clicks, sensor wise both feels same, now lets see if i run into any problem, ill update yaUpdate 2020 , 20th JuneStill works Good didnt ran into any issues , and im a pretty heavy users doing productive work and competitive gaming and it works flawless , this doesnt have any mouse acceleration and is 98% accurate to muscle memory movement would usally by this time my mouse starts feeling crusty and rugged but this still feels like a new mouse. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone wanting to get a high end mouse at budget GO FOR ITupdate 2022:ITS STILL WORKING GOOD, so far noo double click issue, no sensor issue or any kind of issues.i used this mouse for heavy gaming since the day I bought this mouse and its honestly the best mouse at a budget I love it!

The mouse is really good for gaming and has a very good sensor.But the durability is highly doubtful.Side rubber grips starts to wear out few months after the use. Didn't really bug me thoughThe thing which got me off was the double click issue in the right click exactly after a year .I bought it confidently since it was clearly mentioned in purchase site that it was 2 years warranty.Claimed for the RMA process through ACRO ENGINEERING website and got a reply its out of warranty.Lol a 6k mouse has a fake warranty !.Please look into it before buying

While expensive, the mouse offers premium build quality, an amazing sensor, and fun lighting options. This mouse suits me better than a Logitech G-403 but that's just my personal opinion. I do however think that SteelSeries cheaped out on the cable though - it's not braided and looks flimsy. Otherwise, the mouse has been performing great - it's very comfortable to hold and the side buttons feel crisp. The left and right click buttons though are a little mushy when compared to the G403 but the middle mouse button is a lot easier to click and feels much more natural to use. The G403's middle mouse button was a tad hard to press. The Rival 310 has a slightly lower profile overall when compared to the G403 so your palm will feel a little emptier (less full) compared to if you were holding the G403.If you liked the Rival 300, then in all probability, you will like this one as well. If you have never used the Rival 300 before then I suggest you get the Logitech G403 instead.

This mouse is a rip-off for the price. It feels sturdy in hand but it doesn't feel smooth at all. I have used cheap to expensive gaming mice from Logitech, Razer and now this. It misses clicks in CS, so all you CS guys out there, don't buy or you AWP will miss like hell. It doesn't feel as natural as a same prices Logitech does but his lasts longer than Logitech so it is fine for other games, just not latency dependent ones. If you can afford this then try buying Hyperion Fury, and I promise you it will be a lot better for lot longer. This is probably my first and last steel series purchase. For what it is worth it is still working at the time of review without any button errors; as the evenly priced Logitech would probably fall off with clicks here.
