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.

nice and comfortable

i bought refurbished rival 110 2019/08 (from Amazon.com Services LLC) at 15$ and even now still good.

My only complaint about this mouse is that I keep accidentally toggling the cursor speed, which is honestly probably a me problem. Its comfortable and simple, the side buttons are accessible and responsive. Good for if you need something better than a generic three-button mouse but arent a super fancy serious gamer who cares about having ninety buttons and super fast response speed and etc.

Ive ordered cheaper ones that lasted way longer. It was ok.

After a year of use, I had to retire this thing. The back side button (M4) started getting finnicky (i.e. not staying held down when I tried holding the button down) after a few months of use. I thought this was maybe a fluke, but now my right mouse button is doing the same thing, and its unusable. I got this mouse because of its high IPS, which is an absolute must for competitive gaming. Unfortunately, it didnt seem to stand the test of time. Id go with an alternative.

I got tired of using cheap mice with poor tracking in games. This mouse is simple with just a few buttons, but thats all I needed. The main draw here is the sensor, which is amazing. I didnt realize how poor my old mice tracked until I plugged this thing in. Its so smooth and consistent. I havent had a single issue with jumping/jerkiness, it just does exactly what I want when I want it. The steelseries software is actually really nice, allowing for customization of the LED color, mapping of buttons, and DPI settings. The DPI switch is a simple low-high setting which is fully customizable. This is perfect for my style where I have a standard setting and a sniper setting which is much lower DPI. Much better than clicking the button 5 times in a firefight to cycle through and get the correct DPI. I dont really use mouse macros but the software allows you to customize every single button on the mouse if you wanted to. Overall, its an awesome buy if you are looking for a simple mouse with a great sensor, especially considering the low price. Definitely would recommend.

It works very well. We have it with a Steel Series mouse pad and they are fast, accurate and easy to use. The interface for adjusting settings is user friendly. The fact that I can adjust the light is a nice touch.

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.

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.
