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.

    Solid build with tracking but with flaws. The thumb buttons are great orher than the furthest one. Unless you have a long thumb this one is hard to reach. Scroll wheel has a premium feel to it almost gratifiying to use. Other that the unreachable thumb button, what i dislike most about this mouse is the heat. My hands are never hot and im often trying to keep them warm. On this mouse though.....my palm gets so hot it sweats. This is at defualt rgb settings. Im guessing that is the cause.

    It is a great midrange gaming mouse, but just wish it was a bit heavier, and maybe a bit larger.

    Shame on Best Buy

    Great mouse, deserves a 5* but Best Buy gets a 1* due to it's new reward policy. No longer do you get BB points for purchasing items. You have to use BB credit card now. for points. Oh, and member status? You have to PAY to be a member with real benefits. It used to be based on how much you spent at BB. There IS NO incentive now to buy only from BB. I will only buy online from them if the price is significantly lower (doubtful that will be the case) than Amazon, etc.

    great mouse, the left thumb button is a little too far spaced out and I have large hands, the thumb tip should rest on that button.
