    Nice mouse, included AAA batteries exploded within 4 weeks. Use your own lithium batteries
    Update: I was able to get a replacement mouse, I will not be using the included batteries this time! It's a great mouse otherwise. I have been really happy with both SteelSeries mouses that I have used, both this Rival and also the Prime. I picked the Rival for wireless due to the dual mode choice of either using bluetooth OR the included dongle. The wireless version of the Prime seemed to only have the dongle option. I pair the bluetooth to my laptop and plug the dongle into my desktop for quick and easy switching.Original review: I was really liking this mouse, the dual wireless modes were great. One day I went to use it and it didn't work. I normally ONLY use high end lithium batteries since old fashioned alkaline batteries always explode or leak. I had used the included batteries in a pinch and sure enough, they had exploded, ruining the mouse. Don't use the included batteries.

    I bought this gaming mouse as a gift for my brother, who's an avid gamer, and he's absolutely thrilled with it! He tells me the mouse is incredibly responsive and precise, making a huge difference in his gaming performance. He loves the ergonomic design, which fits comfortably in his hand even during long gaming sessions. The customizable buttons and adjustable DPI settings are also big plusses. The only minor drawback is that the cord can get in the way sometimes, but that's a minor trade-off for the excellent performance.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024
    Size: WirelessStyle: Rival 3Pattern Name: MouseVerified Purchase
    I wish I was aware before I bought this that a weird software would automatically install itself when I plugged the mouse in. Software like that always makes me extremely uncomfortable. It was, thankfully, seemingly easy to uninstall. Hopefully that's the end of it.

    I bought this mouse for gaming. So far I love that it's a good size for small-ish hands. I wear a small size disposable nitrile glove. I can also be a little clumsy, so I actually like that the side buttons are a little harder to access. I used to accidentally bump the side buttons when I would use a logitech mouse, but I don't think it will be an issue with this mouse.

    It has very smooth cursor movement (good DPI). I haven't had a wireless mouse with this smooth of a cursor before so I am happy about that.

    I cannot speak on battery life nor overall device longevity yet.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very responsive, pretty comfortable, decent battery
    Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2023
    Size: WirelessStyle: Rival 3Pattern Name: MouseVerified Purchase
    I'm not getting nearly the advertised battery life. I keep it on a short sleep timer, but do use the 2.4GHz connection which is more power intensive than Bluetooth, but "400+ hour battery life" is an outright lie, I go a couple weeks between battery changes with 2 standard amazon basics rechargeable AAA batteries. I just keep an extra pair next to me to swap out when I need them in case it happens mid game or something. I wish there was a low battery warning of some kind like the light turning red or something, because it sucks when the mouse dies in the middle of a game with no warning. Its a good battery life compared to other mice I've used, just not anywhere near what's claimed.

    Besides that, good mouse. Responsive (I only use 2.4GHz connection, can't speak much to its Bluetooth responsiveness), accurate, has nice settings if you have the SteelSeries GG software, and its pretty mid as far as comfort, not great, not bad. Good weight too.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable mouse
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2024
    Size: WirelessStyle: Rival 3Pattern Name: MouseVerified Purchase
    I used a very small mouse before getting this mouse. It's definitely a big improvement, I don't feel any pain even after being on my computer for multiple hours. I only have 2 problems. One is the connection, it goes to sleep, and you have to click a button for it to wake up, and it takes a few seconds to do so, it doesn't sound bad but it does get annoying with misclicks and trying to find your pointer if you have multiple screens. The second problem is the battery, if you don't turn on the battery-saving mode with the app, the mouse will only last you a little less than a month.

    I purchased this mouse because I had the steel series wireless mouse and was tired of the batteries going out every week or so.

    I do some heavy computer work and gaming, so this mouse was a better choice.

    The color options on the steel series software are awesome. I always do a red/white look with my RGB and it has multiple zones to match your color schemes. Functionally, the mouse has acceleration and deceleration options for different types of media/games. It's a solid and well-priced mouse with minimal/standard button features.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Well Made Basic Gaming Mouse
    Reviewed in Canada on October 19, 2023
    Size: WiredStyle: Rival 3Pattern Name: MouseVerified Purchase
    I am pretty tough on my mice because I enjoy playing FPS games that require a lot of mouse movement and clicks. I have gone through a few different generic brands over the years and wanted something with a better build that the buttons might last longer. This Steelseries mouse is a good size, though I prefer the slightly wider format I have had in the past from other models. It has all the basic options with a few nice perks. I don't know that I really need 18K DPI, but having the option to go higher is nice. The scroll wheel and the buttons all feel very sturdy. The weight is sturdy but still light and the glide pads are smooth.
    I am not a big fan of the whole RGB on everything movement. It was a bit more complicated than I would have liked to modify the RGB settings out of the box. I had to install a 400MB software package to control this which seems like total overkill, but if you have some use for the additional software that is bundled, it is a great value. After figuring out how to modify the RGB, it is actually kind of fun. It is cool being able to modify 5 different zones each with different colors if you want, especially at this price point.
    I have large hands, so a slightly larger mouse would be ideal, which is why I am knocking one star off the ergonomics and comfort. Still at this price point, it will be impossible to find the same quality, so this is a no brainer. While the software feels like over kill, I don't know of any mouse that doesn't require software installation to modify the settings and to the best of my knowledge, Steelseries doesn't have the privacy concerns that many other big brands have been exposed to have with their software. I am about a month in and very happy with the purchase. Unless there is a compelling need for more buttons or format, I don't know why you would want to spend more!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Mouse | Annoying Design Flaw
    Reviewed in Canada on September 16, 2023
    Size: WiredStyle: Rival 5Pattern Name: MouseVerified Purchase
    I have the entire Steel Series suite... led mouse pad, Arctic 7 speakers, Nova wireless headphones.

    The gear is awesome. The mice, however, have been hit and miss.

    The PRIME mouse for example, was amazing until it wasn't. It bricked from a firmware update and Steel Series support was completely useless on the matter. No live chat... just a stream of emails asking if I tried turning it on/off, reinstalling etc. The issue could not be resolved -which sucks- because: i) the Prime was primo dinero $$$ and ii) SS chose not time fix the issue and instead dedicated resources to building a new Diablo mouse.

    Suffice to say, I was hesitant to replace the Prime with another SS product but chose the RIVAL 5 (wired) since all my suite is SS.

    The Rival 5 is a great mouse. It is ergonomic, has good balance, it lights up nicely and the clicks are sharp.

    The ONLY issue I have with the Rival 5 is a glaring design flaw.

    That the silver 'trigger' button for the thumb... is COMPLETELY out of reach unless you have alien long fingers (which 90% of us don't have) which renders said button COMPLETELY useless.

    I had read the other complaints about this issue and dismissed it.

    Oh well >_<

    Es un Mouse excelente, lo mejorcito por el precio. Mejoro mucho mi precisión en los juegos FPS. Obviamente no todo lo hace el mouse, se debe entrenar, pero el sensor sin duda es muy preciso y cuenta con un software para programar botones, DPI's y colores. El mouse precio - rendimiento por excelencia.

    Los materiales son ligeros y cabe bien en manos medianas. Generalmente lo uso en agarre de palma. Es muy comodo.
    Me hubiese gustado por el precio que el cable fuera mallado, sin embargo, el cable es de buena calidad y es mas flexible, sore todo si se tiene algo que pueda estorbarlo al moverlo.

    Recomendado como primer mouse gamer. ✨

    Buen día. Este es el primer mouse gamer que tengo y definitivamente recomiendo muchísimo este mouse tan versátil, ya que lo uso para jugar TPS (Third-Person-Shooters) como: Rogue Company, así como FPS (First-Person Shooters) como: Splitgate y también para RPG's de acción tal como: Genshin Impact y es una maravilla las opciones de configuración que te ofrece Steel Series para adecuar las funciones de los botones para cada juego y así realizar distintas acciones.

    PROS:

    Su Software (SteelSeries GG "Engine"), permite crear y guardar perfiles para cada juego y una vez se crean estos basta con abrir el software para elegir 1 y aplicarlo al juego que se desee, sin necesidad de estar configurándolos y guardándolos una y otra vez.

    *Todos sus botones son configurables, incluso el de CPI, permitiendo así pasar las funciones de los botones del teclado a los botones del mouse de nuestra preferencia.

    *Se pueden ajustar los CPI (Cantidad por Pulgada) desde los 100 hasta 18,000. Lo cual es estupendo dependiendo de la sensibilidad que más le guste al jugador.

    *El sensor es muy preciso y en verdad se nota a la hora de jugar.
    *Los botones se sienten bien al tacto .
    *El cable tipo mesh hace que no se enrolle y tenga un buen desplazamiento.
    *Tiene un bonito RGB altamente personalizable.
    *El peso es adecuado y el diseño elegante y cómodo.

    OBSERVACIONES: Al poner la iluminación al máximo se siente cómo el calor emana de los LED's y una pequeña parte de la pintura comenzó a desprenderse luego de un tiempo, por lo que yo, en caso de usar el RGB es a un brillo medio o incluso mínimo, porque al máximo lastima la vista, ya que es muy brillante, aunque casi siempre prefiero tenerlo desactivado, como con el teclado, para que no me distraiga la iluminación.
    (Esto no afecta en nada el rendimiento del mouse, ya que sólo es personalización del RGB, "Se puede desactivar").

    El botón gris, es algo difícil de alcanzar, por lo tanto, lo asigno como el botón para lanzar Ultimates en Genshin Impact y Rogue Company, ya que por el tiempo de recarga que requieren, hacen que el uso de este botón (por la distancia a la que se encuentra) sea menos frecuente.

    Por tanto, es muy buena opción y estoy muy satisfecho con la compra.
