The SteelSeries Rival is a strong gaming mouse, with an ergonomic and lightweight design that will suit all but the tiny-handed. The optical sensor used here is one of the best available, and provides solid (and more importantly, consistent) performance...

The differences between laser mice and optical have blurred over the past couple of years While many will opt for a laser mouse because a laser mouse is much more precise, in theory at least, and is much better at tracking on a wide range of surfaces whil...

We labelled the SteelSeries Sensei the best mouse on the planet bar none. We should amend that title to the best laser mouse on the planet because with the Rival the Sensei is not quite the master it once was. Now, we are not for one moment saying the Riv...

We recently reviewed the wireless version of the Rival mouse, and at the time were particularly impressed with the actual wireless implementation, but as far as the pure ergonomics and function of the mouse itself goes, this is the pure version. It's ve...
Great value, and a great mouse...

The SteelSeries Rival sees the optical sensor return to the gaming mouse market after being shunned for the last few years in favour of laser sensor technology. With a design inspired by the firm's Ikari model, the SteelSeries Rival is a relatively basic...

Optical mice first hit the scene back in 1999, replacing ball mice and their fluff-stuffing rollers. The Optical sensor is basically a tiny camera, with a small LED bouncing red light off the mousing surface onto a CMOS sensor, thousands of times per seco...

Rival is the first gaming mouse from Steelseries that we review since a long time. It features a PixArt PMW3310 optical sensor with a maximum resolution of 6500 DPI. The software is simple but at the same time offers a lot of options. Rival is a mouse wit...
the sensor performs well and the software is practical and easy to use In our opinion, the optical sensor PixArt PMW3310 is perfect for those who like FPS and MOBA, where a millimeter can make the difference Steelseries Rival is a customizable mouse and...

Gaming mice can be inordinately expensive, but the SteelSeries Rival is available for a surprisingly reasonable £39. It doesn't have any kind of weight adjustment system, as used by some of its premium rivals. Beyond that, though, it's got every feature w...
Great price for a good gaming mouse...

As it turns out, the SteelSeries Rival's biggest rival may all boil down to the firmware it runs on, and the software it runs with. Now don't get me wrong -- the SteelSeries Rival is undoubtedly excellent hardware -- there is not a whole lot of question a...

A simple, elegant gaming mouse from SteelSeries with accurate sensor and great comfort.It's been a while since we have a new mouse design from SteelSeries, one of the most popular gaming peripheral manufacturers. Their last gaming mouse that I reviewed ba...
The Rival may not have as many “bling blings” as the Sensei (which has an LCD display and a 32-bit ARM processor), but it gets back to the core of a great gaming mouse: design, performance, and comfort. Designed specifically for right handed gamers, the...

Today's review will be focusing on the SteelSeries Rival which is a more recent addition to SteelSeries arsenal and one that, surprisingly, ships with an optical sensor as opposed to the ever present laser sensors mostly found in contemporary gaming mice...
The Rival is an interesting proposition from SteelSeries if not because of its apparent focus on minimalism then the associated price with it. Firstly, £50 is too much to ask for a mouse that, really, is quite lacking for £50 and especially when compared...

Steelseries has a reputation for no-nonsense, solid gaming performance. Recent keyboard efforts may not have lived up to our expectations, but we've always had a strong respect for its mice, especially the Sensei, which is one of the most precise, full-fe...

SteelSeries covers this new venture into mice with a look back at all the other products offered in performance mice, and thought to themselves they could do better. To do this, you need a couple of things, well a few actually. First and foremost you nee...
The Rival looks stunning, feels really good in the hand, is a bit heavier than most other SteelSeries mice, and offers a level of performance that I have not seen in any other mouse. This to me is a two pronged attack. Incorporating this new Pixart optic...

Over the years, gaming mice have become increasingly ridiculous, adding all manner of superfluous feature and button so that it very nearly requires a degree in engineering just to hold one. Sometimes, a simpler approach is not only necessary – but welcom...

Let me start out straight away by saying I had troubles setting up the Rival and I cannot, with 100% certainty, say that it was not a fault of my computer. For the purposes of this review, I will not fault it for this. It is a fact of PC gaming life, thou...
