I spent a lot of time researching mice with lots of extra buttons and was instantly drawn to the layout on the Rival 500. I was having a hard time locating one for sale in my country though. Thankfully some kind stranger on the internet directed me toward this site. This mouse is exactly what I needed for my personal use. Highly recommend if you're looking for a mouse with a large amount of side buttons. The layout is so useful.

I was skeptical at first, I have been a long time fan of the Logitech G700 and what that had to offer. This mouse is an excellent successor to that. I play Escape from Tarkov and World of Warships with it and it is truly fantastic.

Left mouse button stopped working after a year of use. Do not recommend.

easy use

-wish it had more preset options for dpi

Really nice mouse for games like fortnite as it has many extra buttons to bind to things, also fits the hand really well.

Good overall build quality. Thumb buttons are awkward to use, but become manageable with practice, was about as hard as learning to use the steelworkers cata mouse. Great sensors, lighting is fun, lots of built in software to sync the lifts to music or games or whatever you want.

I love this mouse, use Razer Mice for years but a year or so ago I brought a SteelSeries Sensi Wireless mouse kind of spare of the moment and I was very impressed, I went on to my a M800 Keyboard from them.

Engine 3 driver program will not load on my Alienware machine, at request of Steel Series I sent a number of files and was told I would hear from them in 1-2 weeks, its now been 2 months and they totally ignore my service tickets. Time to find a good mouse I guess.

The Rival 500 is the best MMO/MOBA mouse we have ever been presented! With the addition of SSE3, this mouse is outstanding in its abilities and customization. Accuracy and control, all in a comfortable, affordable, and ergonomically designed layout.

The Rival 500 isn't a great mouse, but its innovative thumb layout and the inclusion of haptic feedback are interesting glimpses of the future.

Intuitive and useful thumb-button layout; Beloved PWM3360 sensor; "Tactile Feedback" is like controller rumble in a mouse

"Tactile Feedback" is only in a handful of games; Short; squat; and heavy; Tons of buttons; but none feel great to press
