Great Mouse!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This mouse is a great gaming mouse. The software it comes with is pretty good, but lacks some integration features with your phone like Logitech's ARX Control. The mouse has 6 buttons as follows: *Left Mouse Button *Right Mouse Button *Middle Mouse Button *Top Mouse Button *Forward side button *Back side button Mouse Physical Properties: The mouse feeling is a smooth rubberized paint on the top. The sides have a rubberized paint with circles to give you a firm grip of the mouse. The mouse is light weight. The USB Cable is not sleeved so it might get worn on the edge of the desk going down to the computer if your system is setup that way. -The stroke of the left mouse button and right mouse button are pretty short which is perfect for FPS and any game in general where a fast reaction time is necessary. -The scroll wheel has a rubberized feedback as you scroll with it. I'm not a huge fan of it because it feels a little sloppy; however I've gotten used to it and it doesn't make the infamous loud scroll sound that makes you want to punch your co-worker in the face. -The side buttons have a deep stroke which prevents accidental button presses when bumping into the side of your keyboard or grabbing your mouse. I hate when that happens because sometimes my macros are up to 30 seconds long an I have to wait-out for it to finish. -The scroll wheel also does not tilt which prevents you from scrolling left or scrolling right when trying to throw a grenade or anything else you bind to the Middle Mouse Button. (this is a welcome feature since I use the middle mouse button to Pan through drawings when I work from home) Mouse Software: The software for the mouse is called SteelSeries Engine 3. It is very user friendly and the user interface, or UI, is much better than others out there for someone who wants to just install it and make their changes quickly, without needing a manual or tutorials to explain what to do. You can make game specific profiles, Macro's, bind keys, set the color of the scroll wheel glow and base logo glow in thousands of combinations. I had never used this piece of software before and I was making changes without any issue. Absolutely stand up job on the software UI Steel Series! The mouse acceleration and deceleration control is the best I've seen with a visual graph. The polling rate can be set from as low as 125 all the way up to 1000. There are two sensitivity settings you can make for this mouse and by default switch between them on the top of your mouse. (useful for switching to scope while sniping and in-vehicle controls). Tons of configurations can be made for game to game binding settings or switching defaults when you feel like changing the mouse lights to the seasons; or even to match new case lights, keyboard lights, etc. The lights can breathe, multi-color breathe, color shift, stay constantly on, or be turned off. The lights on the mouse even have some game features through GameSense that allows the lights on the mouse to Change colors or blink for things such as Ammo reserve in CS:GO, Hunger in Minecraft, Tool durability in Minecraft, etc. Just checkout GameSense on SteelSeries website! Would I buy this mouse again? Yes! Especially for the price.

First gaming mouse, using for software development
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Logitech Marathon mouse suffered the dreaded double-click issue, so I picked this gaming mouse up. I was concerned that I would not like the wire, but it doesn't get in the way at all. Furthermore, the tactile feel of the click and the DPI customizability are well worth it. The software that comes with the mouse is easy to use (to configure DPI settings and LED colors for the logo and scroll wheel). The one thing I wished it had was the "infinite" scrolling (where you can just flick the scroll wheel and it spins freely), but again, the mouse is so good in every other way, that I think it's a fair trade-off. I have medium to large hands, and it fits my hand comfortably. The mouse is fairly light, which I like, so it's easy to pick up and move around as needed. Absolutely no regrets with this purchase.

Overall Good Mouse
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using this for several months now (I do not exactly remember how long.). All that I can say is that it is a very good mouse for the price. This was before I became a Best Buy Member, I just created this account today. The design of the mouse feels very comfortable, and the sides have a decent grip on them. The two forward and back buttons on the right side of the mouse are easy to reach, I have found them useful for web browsing. The CPI button switches between two customizable CPI settings (250 - 6400), I personally don't use this as much unless I am sniping in games. The software seems very easy and simple to use. It allows you to customize six of the buttons on the mouse. The RGB lighting is very subtle in my opinion and has three effect types: steady, breath, and color shift. The lighting is customizable for the wheel and the logo. Something to note is that the cable is not a braiding type of cable unlike other mice, however I usually do not find this to be such a huge issue. Now, the rubber grips on the side of the mouse did wear away after a few weeks of usage. This did not exactly effect the performance in anyway, but the look just bothered me a little bit. Overall, this mouse is a very nice mouse for it's price. The software is simple to use, and the mouse itself feels very nice to use. It maybe different for others, but this was just my personal experience.

Good, Understated Mouse!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I took a chance on this mouse when it was on sale and I'm glad I did. Great laser check, ergonomics check and flexibility are this mouses strong points. The size allows grip styles from claw to palm and the rubber coating gives you a great sweat resistant experience. Though the two side buttons are noticeably suppressed into the housing of the mouse, the large size of these buttons is greatly appreciated. Also the RGB lighting for the logo and scroll wheel is a nice bonus however, I wish the 2 lights could be synced together. At times colors are not coordinated and blinking and or breathing functions are sporadic and unpredictable. I found the weight and the overall performance of this mouse to be exceptional in spite of some minor design flaws. (I own 3)

Good mouse for gaming
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good mouse. The weight is just about where I like it. I have a medium-sized hand for a man, and this mouse feels comfortable. That's actually the main problem with palm mice that are made for one-hand or the other--they have to fit properly. Luckily I was able to get my hand on it in the store before purchasing. I used to have a Razer Diamondback and I purchased this one because it resembles that model, but is lighter. I only have one reservation: upon plugging in the mouse, it "skipped". I was only able to get the skipping problem to go away after using it on a matte mouse mat (I have a generic grey cloth mat, the cheap kind you can get anywhere). You can't use those ultra smooth or reflective mouse mats for this mouse. Other than that problem, I would have given it 5 stars.

Light and feels great in your hand!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This mouse is great because it is not heavy or cumbersome. Don't get me wrong, I do like a sturdy mouse that does not feel cheap, and this one is just what I needed. Combined with the SteelSeries mouse pad, it glides like butter! I have large hands, so I use a claw type grip. That is most comfortable for me. Once you get the mouse and play around with it, you can decide on what you are most comfortable with. I have not been able to use the super cool features of the software except on Windows. That's OK. I know most people will use it on Windows anyway. All in all, it is a great mouse. If you are a gamer, it is a must have!

Awesome Gaming Mouse for your Budget Gamer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This mouse is amazing for the price. Before this mouse, I used primarily Razer products. When I was on the hunt for a new keyboard that wasn't stupid expensive I landed on the Steel Series Apex and fell in love with it even though it was not a mechanical keyboard which would = slower response time (Not even noticeable). So when I dropped my Razer Naga on the floor and half of the buttons stopped working I decided to make the move to all Steel Series I/O devices. I purchased the Rival mouse and the Siberia v2 headset at the same time for the same price as a replacement Naga would have been. So far all of my Steel Series products not only have provided quick response times, customization in the eye candy department, comfort and control, and an overall satisfactory experience. The only thing I could wish for on the Rival would be a second/third set of side buttons directly below the current set. As it is I already use the two buttons normally, with Ctrl Modifier, with Alt Modifier, and Shift Modifier. As second or third set would open a whole new world of customization. Especially for an MMO player as myself. Doing Arenas in WoW would be slightly easier as well.

Mouse for gamers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have been using this mouse for about a year. I play FPS and having a good mouse is important for gamers like myself. It comes with a lot of options to customize base on your playing style, game you're playing, and even have control over your polling rate. Also love the shape of the mouse. Fits very well in my hand. If you're a gamer or not, this is just a great mouse to have.
