Rival 5 Gaming Mouse
Product Manual

Q: Can the RGB be set to a lower brightness or turned off entirely? Will this have to be done every time I boot up? The RBG looks nice, but I game in a pretty dark room and the bright RGB seems like it would be a distraction.

A: I have mine set to off. Only produces light when I switch sensitivity modes. Entirely customizable process, in that regard.

Q: Does it include the code for the in game reward?

A: Yes, it does. The card with the DLC code is sealed inside the box. It doesn't come separate or in an e-mail or anything..

Q: Does this mouse have any lift-off sensors? If not, does it have any lift-off detection features at all? Lift-off detection is a BIG deal.

A: There are no lift-off sensors for the Rival 5. There are no lift-off detection adjustment features within the software. However, there is no noticeable lift-off when playing games. Simply, if you prefer a mouse with no lift-off, this mouse should suit you fine!

Q: Is it compatible with Xbox and ps4/ps5??

A: Yes. I use it on xbox

Q: Can you change the colors in the mouse if so how many colors are there? and how long is the cord?

A: You can go on the app on computer to change, dont know how many

Q: What’s the difference between the rival 5 mouse and the rival 500 besides the price?

A: undefined

Comfortable, solid mouse with lots of buttons
Shape wise, this is pretty similar to the old Rival 600, only a tad smaller and without as much of a right-side flare. In-hand it feels different than the 600, though it looks almost the same. It's still on the larger end of mice though. It should be comfortable for all styles of grip, from palm to claw to fingertip or any combination/hybrid grip. I have a palm/claw hybrid and it fits me like a glove. It has plastic sides instead of the rubber grips, which I'm sure most users of the Rival 600 can appreciate as they tended to melt and fall off over time. Since there are no rubber grips on this mouse, it should hold up better. The Golden Micro switches on Mouse 1 & 2 feel fantastic. Nice and crisp, with no wobble. Not too light, not too stiff. I'm glad Steelseries is using these on their mice rather than the trouble-prone Omron 50m switches that they used on the Rival 310 and Sensei 310. Out of the box, the RGB is incredibly bright, almost blindingly so. You can adjust the brightness using Steelseries Engine, however the RGB settings do not save to the onboard memory. You can adjust the DPI and button bindings, and those do save to onboard memory. One of the main selling points of the mouse is the large amount of side buttons. There is a silver colored button, similar to the toggle found on the Logitech G502 and Razer Basilisk, but it doesn't serve as a DPI shift like on those two mice. By default, it is bound to F3 and I cannot find a way in the software to bind it to a temporary DPI shift. Every button is remappable, however. You can assign macros, windows/mac functionality (copy, paste, volume up/down, etc.) or bind it to a keyboard press. While being a relatively large mouse, it isn't too heavy. Weighing in at 85g, it doesn't feel as heavy as the G502 which is over 120g. It doesn't feel light or cheap, however. I'd prefer it maybe 10 grams lighter, but it's not bad. Fairly impressive for a large mouse without holes that a lot of manufacturers seem to be using these days. The stock mouse feet are fine. Not as smooth as a white PTFE skate like those found on the Roccat Burst Pro or Razer Orochi V2, but they are not nearly as bad as the ones found on the Steelseries Aerox 3. No issues here. Perfectly usable. The braided cable is really the only letdown for me as it is a bit stiff, even in a bungee. This may bother some more than others, especially if you are used to a wireless mouse. At the current $60 MSRP, this mouse seems to be priced fairly considering the amount of versatility and quality that it offers. From FPS to MMORPGs to MOBAs, this should suit most everyone for any style of grip. Highly recommended!

Outstanding gaming mouse with impressive RGB light
I've been using this SteelSeries Rival 5 for several weeks now and I'm thoroughly impressed with its performance. The optical sensor precision is exceptional for gaming, especially in games that require quick and accurate movements. What I love most: The RGB lighting is vibrant and fully customizable The additional buttons are incredibly useful for macros The ergonomic design feels comfortable during long gaming sessions The build quality feels solid and durable The SteelSeries Engine software allows you to fully customize the lighting and program the buttons according to your needs. The response is instantaneous and I haven't experienced any lag whatsoever. The only minor point is that it might take some time to get used to all the additional buttons, but once you configure them, they really enhance the gaming experience. I definitely recommend this for any gamer looking for a reliable mouse with excellent features. Worth every penny.
