SteelSeries Rival 100, Optical Gaming Mouse - Alchemy Gold

I wanted a durable, quality, long lasting mouse. 1 Year and its still working so Im not disappointed, it just cost a lot for a very basic, well-made mouse. no fancy feature, just good buttons, solid cord mouse. next time Ill except all of the same things but at a cheaper price. Feels a bit light weight but otherwise happy choice besides the price.

This is an amazing mouse. I was kind of nervous at first because I heard the Rival 100 sensor was only usable at 500 CPI or below. WEll, the Rival 110 has a custom sensor called the TrueMove1 which was made by SteelSeries and Pixart, and is capable of 7200 CPI. I personally use it at 1600 and it works amazing! Its not a Deathadder Elite class sensor, but its close. The design is pretty straight forward. Its an ambidextrous design, although you only have forward and back buttons on the left side of the mouse. You get your usual right and left click, forward and back, scroll wheel, scroll click and DPI button. On top of that you do have RGB Lighting, which looks amazing. Colors are very bright and crisp. Now the performance. It tracks pixel by pixel, and is very smooth. Its performing close to a PMW3360 which is a top optical sensor. Ive only owned this mouse for a few hours now, so if anything new comes up I will edit this review. Overall would I recommend this mouse? Yes! It is well worth the money.

mouse is actually pretty good until you do very precise motions with it. if you do a small circle, it wont actually be a circle it will be more like a square. this only applies to very small and precise motions, but if there is anything you will be doing involving drawing or coloring something on your computer (photoshop, etc) then i reccomend a different mouse. otherwise, the mouse is very solid, software is easy to use, etc. but the issue with the sensor is keeping me from giving it a good review. sorry steelseries.

Replaced my rival 100 with this mouse after the left click broke. So far it has performed well and the steelseries engine works great. Has nice RGB Biggest concern is how it feels very similar to the rival 100 which did hold up well to hard mouse clicks but not much can withstand a raging 9 year old playing Overwatch or Fortnite.

Compared to the SteelSeries Sensei Raw, the Rival 110 feels cheaper because of the hard plastic, especially on the sides. However, the buttons feel nice and tactile and the customization of the light is pretty cool. Also, less expensive, so worth the money.

Apparently, this is a known issue, either with this brand or this 110 mouse. Only having this mouse for 11 months before breaking and realizing I wont buy another SteelSeries mouse ever again, I decided to just take the mouse apart to see what the issue is after seeing forum posts and youtube videos complaining of the same problem. Those complaints were correct. The micro switches on the PCB of the thumb button area of the mouse are not flush or secured to the PCB and just wobble around, eventually leading to it bending and not registering clicks anymore. Theres zero way they couldnt have known that was going to happen to people and are just going along with it and selling the mouse anyway. Intentional or not, who cares. It worked great when it worked, but once this happens, the mouse is done. Only 11 months later. And its advertised as a gaming mouse. Knowing this, Im not going to bother with an RMA, even if its replaced with properly secured micro switches. They could have easily just pulled the mouse from the market or did a recall or something, but. I guess not. Im not going to do business with a company that does that.

Getting this mouse was a pleasant surprise. It is much better than its price would imply. I own several much more expensive high-end gaming mice including legendary MX518 (both original and new version), so i had very low expectations. However this mouse really delivered. It is light, comfortable, and has very accurate tracking. No issues with drivers in win10, all buttons work. Mouse wheel is also surprisingly good. Both sides is the mouse are textured - so holding it is pure pleasure. I dont care about LED, i wish they had version without it.

Here comes Steelseries, Rivalling other companies (pun intended) by using the correct word for mouse sensors, CPI, instead of the good old printers DPI.

the clicks are not that good compared to a g502,g203,corsair m65 pro, feels mushy and need a lot more force to press down than most other mice, mouseglides aren’t the best but decent i liked the shape of it but the clicks are really touchy to press and are not thst satifsying

Bought for my office. Trust in steel series. Does a great job, no issues. daily use for 4 months now. Not too sensitive on lowest DPI
