SteelSeries Rival 100, Optical Gaming Mouse - Alchemy Gold

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.

Use this thing for CSGO. Feels great in hand much better than my ec2a. Everything works properly and the sensor is actually really good never skips or spins out. Scroll wheel is good as well and never randomly goes off like my ec2a did. Overall best mouse for the money.

This product confuses me. It feels accurate, its just the right weight and it has that wonderful ambidextrous design that cups my hand in just the right way. So, why is the lift-off distance so high? At first, I didnt know this was a problem but whenever I lifted my mouse I just could never lift it high enough and the cursor/crosshair would move. You possibly could get used to it, but ultimately this just shouldnt be a problem in the first place. Theres this tape trick you could do, but why even fiddle with trying to make this product work correctly whenever you can buy a mouse that doesnt have such a high LOD.

Works well. Happy with the quality for the price.

Its definitely NOT for people with small hands. Although the width isnt that wide, the length is longer than Id like for constant use. The top is a matte finish which makes me feel like its always dirty. I prefer a smoother finish. Guess the matte is better for gamers but Im a designer so that extra grip isnt necessary for me. It also feels a lot heavier than my old HP mouse so hopefully Ill get used to that. Makes it feel like I really have to push it around the mouse pad which I dont really like. The track wheel also is a lot stiffer than some others that Ive had. The cable is nice and long so no issues there. The price was reasonable so overall, Ill try to get used to it, only because I hate returning things online.

Lasted about 2 years before the right click mouse button cracked open/broke/detached, which just happened a few minutes ago. Was a good mouse until then. Wont be buying another though.

I really liked this mouse for FPS shooters. I mostly play fortnite, rainbow, and CSGO. For majority of games 2 extra buttons is enough (FPS) but for games like fortnite it is helpful to have more than two side buttons. The lack of extra buttons made me have to give this mouse a 4 star rating. Overall the feel of the mouse if great and it fits all hand sizes and grips. I personally am a claw grip and it works great.

I love this mouse. My previous mouse was Rival 300. Having a smaller have me an edge and more flexibility. I’ll never switch this out until it breaks. It’s been almost a month and it’s still doing very well. Would recommend for competitive gaming.

I loved this mouse while it was alive. It worked very well and I liked being able to set my dpi buttons to specific settings depending on which game I was playing. Felt great, didnt hurt my hand at all. But alas... It died from my new kitten biting through the cord under my desk. But I did love this mouse, would recommend for the average gamer who wants a nice quick and reactive mouse! Just watch out for kitten teeth.

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