Customers are saying

Customers admire the Rival 5 Wired Optical Gaming Mouse with RGB Lighting for its extensive RGB lighting options, ease of use, and well-placed buttons. The mouse maintains a decent weight despite the added buttons and is praised for its responsiveness and reasonable price. Some customers find the size slightly small for larger hands, and a few mention that the software could be improved.

    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.

    The mouse is a real good gaming device. It’s just a little too light for me. I gave it to my brother and he loves it.

    Great Mouse

    Great mouse so I will give it the stars , not so great experience at Best Buy Annapolis Md . Ordered online pickup of a new mouse and when I picked it up the box was ripped up, the mouse was scratched up and had dirt and hair underneath. I went back to exchange at the pickup but they said I had to get a full refund on my card and repurchase a new one even though I didnt make it out the front step before walking back and showing them. I understand things happen but it was their mistake and they made me feel like it was my problem.

    Great Mouse, worst software experience

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Mouse itself is fantastic. Software required to customize comes with obscene amount of bloatware. To customize the RGB and DPI you'll have to navigate through advertisements. Software automatically scans for games upon install and insists on useless stuff you didn't ask for such as capturing video of gaming highlights. I was going to return but was able to keep my settings after uninstalling the 500mb of garbage. If you're okay with that go for it. If I knew sooner I never would have bothered because it was a headache.

    Moving the cursor is rather slow and lagging. Other than that, nice mouse for the money.
