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.

    SteelSeries Rival 5 is an upgrade to a previous Steelseries mouse that I owned for several years. This is an excellent mouse with better positioned buttons, which are better than the previous versions for ease of use. Good product.

    It’s been a while since I’ve used a wired mouse but, I’ve had so many wireless mouses die on me so I gave this a shot. I love it! The extra buttons are super useful for key binding, the clicks aren’t loud and annoying, the wheel actually scrolls smoothly. I can see why this mouse had awards!

    This mouse is worth the value, steel series has a app that lets you design the light patterns, such as flashing when clicking. Only complaint is the buttons on the side can be stiff, which is good and bad depending on the situation. Overall good build quality

    I love Steel Series products and this mouse is no exception. What I love most about the Steel Series products is the app that comes with it that allows you to fully customize the product. You can also have multiple profiles for each device that you can change on the fly. This mouse in particular looks cool, is very responsive, and is a solid addition to my setup. The longer mouse buttons allow me to stretch out my giant hands a bit more while gaming which is much more comfortable that some of the smaller options out there.

    Amazing product. SteelSeries is the best, I love all their products. I also have the Apex 7 keyboard and Arctis Nova 5 headphones, they're the best I've ever had.

    So far I like this mouse, I've gone through two of the Steelseries Rival models that had the rubber sides that always fall off within a year so I'm looking forward the how long this mouse should last now that they finally removed the rubber.

    Only had this for a week so far, but its a good mouse. The wheel clicks a little too easily, but that might be from how used to my previous mouse I was. I'd still recommend it!
