the +s
perfect glide
light effects and customisable effects with its steelseries software
good grip for games and work.
the minuses
Back and front buttons not really accessible.
Grey button not really accessible.
The scroll wheel misfires when scrolling after a few months of use.
the left click is noisier than the right click.
I asked around to see what good mice were on the market, so I opted for this one and I'm not disappointed. Very good finish and comfortable grip. The software for adjusting the mouse is very intuitive.
Very good quality mouse, not expensive.
You can customise the colours using the Steelseries GG software, which is made from quality plastic. I use it with a Steelseries Apex 3 TKL keyboard, which makes a great inexpensive combo for gaming.
The mouse is rather large, but even with small hands like mine, it's got a good grip.
I 100% recommend it!
I bought the Rival5 to replace my Razer Abyssus which had given up the ghost after 8 years of good and loyal service.
After a month of use, I would say that it is perfect for those with large hands. The extra buttons compared to the Abyssus are welcome in games that require special abilities to be activated.
The only downside for me is that I would have liked the two main buttons to make a little softer noise, but I have sensitive ears :)
One of my best mouse purchases, I needed a mouse with 5 programmable buttons, and in the end I use 8 of them so well. The big grey button is very well thought out, I had my doubts when I bought it but in the end it's more precise than the wheel click and it's an ideal replacement for the latter!
I've had the mouse for 8 months now, and it hasn't moved and is still as accurate as when it came out of the box. The mouse cable is a bit long for my use but otherwise the rest is flawless and it is light.
In the same universe: rival 5
