SteelSeries - Rival 600 Wired Optical Gaming Mouse with RGB Lighting - Black

I love this mouse its a good fit for my hand and the steelseries software is easy to use. The only con i see with this mouse is that one of the side buttos is too far to reach comfortably since i use palm grip. So i find myself not using that button at all.

Rival 600 is an excellent gaming mouse, it has extra weights, it feels great with a rubber finish. It has cool sexy RGB colors which it cycles through. I also use it for work and it is most efficient. I upgraded from a SteelSeries Sensei Wired Laser Gaming Mouse. Now that was also an excellent mouse too. This Rival 600 has 8 x 4g weights if you like a bit of extra junky in your trunky. 16 g on each side. 32 grams is not that much of a difference to me but I do like the extra weight. I play Doom, Wallenstein , Crysis 3 and Call of Duty and Battlefield. I would say the aim is 10 x more precise than with any standard mouse that comes with desktops. My favorite feature of the mouse is the chunky click wheel on top , it has a cool tyre track grooved which gives some rad traction action on your index finger. As for complaints, I did drop the mouse and the sides come off as they are magnetic and the weight do come out of place, to the degree where I lost one of the 4g weights. However the magnetic sides do plop back in to place like Tony Starks Iron man suit. Added bonus i play in bed resting mouse on my sweatpants leg and its still super responsive. Some complain about it having a rubber cable not a braided cable, its not a big deal.

I have used Razer Deathadders exclusively for the last 15 years and decided to try something different. I bought the Steelseries Rival 600 and was not disappointed. The mouse is perfect for my large hands, has awesome sensors and arguably the best rgb on any mouse in the game. The love that I could put the weights in the provided case and snap it onto the mouse wire so that they are always near by.

Given how much I loved SteelSeries headsets, I decided to give their mouse a try when it came time to replace my previous one. Unfortunately I ended up disappointed. The Rival 600 has two detachable side panels with a rubber piece glued across each. I've had to replace the right side panel twice because the rubber dislodged on its own and left my fingers exposed to the sticky glue underneath. The first time was about 6 months after I bought the mouse and the second time was about 3 months after that. This was after using it for around 3-4 hours each night during that time period. I ultimately gave up replacing it after the second time and just wiped the glue off. Unfortunately this week after about a year and half of ownership, the rubber panel on the left side has also decided to peel off. I wanted to like this mouse because everything else about it was great. It was responsive while gaming and the RGB lights were easy to assign in the SteelSeries program. Before the rubber side panels started falling off, it did feel comfortable in my hand. I don't know if it's just a case for the way the Rival 600 is designed, but I would recommend avoiding this model.

I bought this mouse because it felt good in my hands, but when I saw it had removable weights I was definitely skeptical on how I felt about it. Getting it home and messing around with the different weights, I instantly fell in love. You can perfectly customize it to your feeling. It can also help with aim in your games, if you are over aiming, increase the weight, under aiming, decrease it. The mouse is great and like any steelseries product. The steelseries engine lets you synchronize all of your devices so they aren’t out of place with the rest of your setup

Great sensitivity, great weight (adjustable) and amazing colors.

I had all the top Razer products and one by one they fell apart. I started replacing them with SteelSeries gear and I couldn't be happier. This is the best performing mouse I've ever had and the software controls all of my gear without the junk that other companies throw into theirs.

Excellent mouse, solid and great lighting effects. I use this mostly for RTS or more casual shooter games since it’s a little heavy for fast paced FPS. Fits my claw-palm grip well, and I like that it’s a bigger mouse. (Gwolves Hati for scale in picture)
