Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the Rival 5 Wired Optical Gaming Mouse with RGB Lighting for its extensive RGB lighting options, overall performance, and ease of use. Many appreciate the button placement, decent weight, and the value it offers for the price. However, some with larger hands find the mouse slightly small, and a few feel the software could be improved.

    Been using this mice for almost 2 months and never had any problems with it so for. I play games on a laptop all day and it works great. The speeds on the mouse is really easy to set. I had a heavy mice before and it messed up when I play it all day it’ll switch my weapons on it’s own. But haven’t had an issue with this one. I would buy another one if this would would go out.

    I've had one for about 3 months now. Definitely not good for hard mousepads as it'll really scratch them up. A couple of the buttons (hindmost button on the left side and the button south of the mouse wheel) are too inconveniently reached to be good for gaming. The thing works, at least, but it's absolutely not worth the price.

    The mouse feels great but after prolonged use my right click started making this weird squeaky noise that really annoyed me.

    Scroll wheel broke after 3 weeks of regular gaming use. Not sure what's going on with Steel Series quality control these days. Probably better off with another brand till they get their quality back to standard.

    Cheap, low-quality plastic. I had this for under 3 months and the coating has worn out on the areas you grip it. This mouse works great still, but I would advise to pickup the Rival 3 Wireless instead.

    A few months after the purchase it would stop working. I plugged it back in a couple of times Before it started working again. It eventually stopped working and it was thrown away.
