SteelSeries Rival 100, Optical Gaming Mouse - Alchemy Gold

As a previous owner of a SteelSeries Rival 100, I found this mouse to be a nice upgrade after the scroll wheel on it stopped working properly. The Rival 110 is almost identical to the Rival 100, except it has an improved sensor which allows for much greater DPI control and is ever so slightly heavier. The improved sensor allows you to change the DPI in steps of 100 (compared to the 500 of the Rival 100), which allows for much more precise sensitivity control. The slightly increased weight was really only noticeable when using the two mice side by side. The Rival 110 has the same simplistic design as the Rival 100 with a DPI switch button on the top and forward/back buttons on the left side which drastically increase productivity when navigating web pages, documents, or files. Overall this is a fantastic mouse that I would recommend to anybody - for gaming or normal day-to-day tasks. Although I have only had it for a month, im confident that it will be just as reliable as my previous SteelSeries mouse, which lasted about 2 years of heavy use.

I bought this mouse for my gaming laptop. So far so good. Does its job.

Great mouse for new gamers and pros, has great response and no latency. I just wish it had more side buttons.

You are on Budget ? You want a cool and efficient mouse for Gaming ? Dont hesitate do like me , some friends convinced me to get my hands on it .. and hey ! i wasnt disappointed at all ! its smooth , colorful and accurate :)

Today the left click button just died. Not clicks are registered 1/3rd of the time. It was working without problem and now all of a sudden it just stopped working. Never buying Steel Series product again. Edit: After uninstalling and installing the driver made the mouse usable again.

Safe shape, fits my 16.5cm hands really well. I use a palm/claw hybrid grip. Weight is a little on the heavy side for a mouse this size, it would be great if it were around 85g as opposed to 91g. It is nowhere near 87.5g as advertised. Switches feel alright, but my left clicks feel somewhat mushy. Not a big deal in game though. Side buttons are a little sharp but they are positioned well enough for you to click without issues. The scroll wheel feels stiffer than the 310 series of mice and are much harder to press in. Good or bad, its up to your preference. I prefer the clicks on the 310 mice. Built quality is pretty good for a budget mouse. Cable is soft and flexible but not as good as the cable on the 310 series. Coating feels like it will last and is grippy enough. Even the sides which are plastic offer really nice grip. Sensor performs flawlessly. From what I read online, the TruMove1 is based off the PWM3330 sensor but heavily modified by SteelSeries through their partnership with PixArt. Whatever it is, LOD seems high but it did not seem to affect me in game. Great sensor, SteelSeries and other mouse companies should look into more budget friendly sensors like the 3330 to put into their mice. It performs just as well as my Sensei 310 and Rival 310 with the TruMove3. You wont tell the difference. The RGB lights are only single zone so dont expect much out of them, but it is what it is. Overall I love this mouse. Its amazing how well a mouse of this caliber could perform. And it offers surprisingly great comfort for its low and simple design. I guess the subtle curves on the sides and back help a little. My only complaints would be the quality of the main switches (Left click in particular) and the weight which could be a little lighter. As someone who has used the Logitech G Pro/G102, Ninox Venator, SteelSeries Sensei 310, and Razer Lancehead TE. I think this is the best ambidextrous mouse Ive owned. The price to performance/shape ratio is astounding. If you didnt like then G102/G203, this is probably worth looking at.

This mouse is great and easy to get use too. I use it for gaming and browsing the web.

There isnt much that I need to say; the Rival 110 is a cheap gaming mouse made by a reputable company. It points well, the sensor is probably more than enough for someone on this kind of budget, and its got a (mostly) ambi grip. You can hold it however you please and it will still be a mouse. The click is solid and has a very satisfying tactile and audible response. Only issue you may find is that the cable is coated and not braided. End of obligatory review. My real issue is with SteelSeries software. The software itself is great, if not a bit confusing even for a power user. The issue I encountered is when I tried to take this mouse up as a replacement for the $5 Logi mouse at my office. You can keep a color profile onboard, but no macros. No problem, just make a portable version on a drive and then use it at work right? Unfortunately this software must be installed on every computer you intend to use and sort of features the mouse has outside of remembering what color LEDs you want. If youre using this in several locations and arent able to install the SteelSeries engine on all of them, you may want to look elsewhere.

This is a great mouse overall. Nice and small and easy to manipulate across your mouse pad. The only problem is that i feel like I always overshoot my target no matter what sensitivity settings I adjust. I would think that it has something to do with the lift of distance. Unfortunately I replaced this mouse with a much better one. I would suggest looking into other mice.

Quality and durability is great. Can only be customized by Steelseries Engine 3 as a PC program which can be mildly obnoxious from time to time. Randomly decides to change RGB color every blue moon or two, but its fine. I wish there was a way to turn off the glow, though.
