Best gaming mouse. Love it because you can add weight or keep it light depending on how you like your mouse. The response time is immediate.

love the way it helps my palm rest. Have more customized buttons than i thought. DPI helps with large monitors.

A decent mouse held back by software

Solid mouse, the software is a bit 50/50 since sometimes it doesn’t want to start up correctly or it’ll de-sync with the hardware. But for the games I play (Escape from Tarkov, War Thunder, and White Knuckle) it’s carried me for the past couple years I’ve had it, the only major issue I have with it is SteelSeries’s software.
Would recommend on sale for sure.

I like this mouse a lot. I like that it doesn't require batteries and it doesn't need to be charged like others. I recommend this if you don't mind a corded mouse. It has buttons on the side to use as well as the ones on the top. And of course, I love the color changing lights.

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.

The buttona on the side are awesomeness. You also have that bar and set your lean to it. Now i can peak, lean and ads and shoot all on the mouse its so convenient. If u play a game that allows you to lean then you need this

Amazing Starter mouse for beginners

This is an amazing mouse. For those who love heavier mice, this might not be your pick. But, for those who enjoy super light-weight mice and are starting PC gaming, definitely a great choice. This mouse is very light, precise, and well made. Even though it's plastic, the side buttons, main buttons, and overall build is well made.
The SteelSeries engine that the mouse recommends to download is very useful for changing the DPI settings on the mouse, color waves, and even just normal sonar stuff. The app has an integrated sonar that helps with sound division.

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 looks cool. The lights are bright but not so bright to be distracting when gaming. The controls are very quick and responsive. Exactly what I was looking for.

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!
