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 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.

Cons, just two (plus the new major con after years of use)...
1. The back and forward buttons on the side are tiny as can be. It took me a good week just to get used to using them. Just saying they could be bigger in some way.
2. The colors red and orange have just one shade compared to the other colors. You can tell this immediately when simply viewing the colors changing because it rushes right through red and orange. When you use the software to make the mouse just orange, it's orange, nothing wrong with that. But when you do the same for red, it's a light colored red. I personally wish to make it just a little more redder or darker if you know what I mean, to match my red theme of my PC theme. Just had to mention this because it's one of those little things that just has to exist on my new mouse.
P.S. The other colors are insanely GREAT looking. Especially the shades of purple, pink, blue and green. You can set a custom fade loop with these colors and it's marvelous. I do recommend this mouse just don't overpay for it. $30 is pretty much its top dollar(imo). Possibly $35 at most.
EDIT: After 2 years and 7 months, the right mouse button chose to randomly break off (see pictures). I did not abuse this mouse at all and barely even play games with it as I use a controller for most of my game playing. When I contacted Steel Series customer support about this all they did was offer me 15% off another Steel Series product and a "very sorry" apology along with the following...
"Hey there! My name is Bir and I will be doing my best to take care of you! I genuinely appreciate your follow-up and patience regarding your devices. Because we appreciate you being a part of the SteelSeries community and choosing our products in the past, and that we care about you as a customer; we've attempted to troubleshoot your mouse, and since we couldn't resolve the issue and your warranty has expired, we're happy to provide you with a 15% off coupon.
My response... "So your solution to the mouse breaking is to invest more money into another one for $3 less?
Their response... "Unfortunately, we don't have a repair service at this time. Additionally, as you've stated, the mouse was purchased over 2 years ago which would place it outside of warranty and we would not be able to replace it. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
My response... "When will a repair service be available? Buying a product that randomly breaks in less than 3 years with 100% normal use is more than an inconvenience, it's a faulty product. Do you care that my review will reflect this and do you care if I mention exactly what happened in my review? Because this issue needs to be known, as well as the fact that you're doing nothing about it and that people need to expect their same product to become faulty after 2 years.
Their response... "Hey there, Currently there is no known plans of any repair services in the future and I do apologize about that. Please let us know if you need any more assistance.
My response... "Ah, I see. So you don't care. Sounds about right. Well, enjoy the bad review.
Their response... I'll mark this case solved. Please feel free to reach out if you have additional concerns. GLHF"
End of customer support ticket.
This is as honest of a review as I can give. Buyer beware, this mouse is made of cheap plastic on the inside. Again, don't expect it to last more than mine did because I did not abuse it at all. So I easily expect a lot of people buying this mouse are going to be using it for aggressive gaming purposes. I'd look at alternative options.
Yes, it was a good mouse while it lasted and I did get used to the mouse buttons on the side. It's just not worth it for the long term and Steel Series knows this.

Don't expect it to last more than a couple years, its 2 year warranty reflects that exactly.

It feels great, the ability to change the cpi on the fly is great. The RBG lighting looks great in its default color changing mode. The software is pretty decent, you can modify a lot with it.Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2020
