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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I wanted a new mouse to replace my 5 year old Rival 600, and I don't like the look of the honeycomb style mouses. Incredibly lightweight compared to the 600 but very sleek design.
