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.

    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.
