SteelSeries Rival 100, Optical Gaming Mouse - Alchemy Gold

Works well. Happy with the quality for the price.

I love it, and dont even mind the colored light. Glad Im back to wired and not using batteries anymore. I noticed the superior response (probably due to being wired) immediately. It never misses a movement, no matter how slight. Its hard to find an ambidextrous gaming mouse too. Far too many are asymmetrical favoring non-left handed people. The only issue I have had (and its minor) is that once in a while, if I take my hand off of it, the pointer on the screen eerily drifts even though the mouse is not being moved. This has not effected gameplay or actual work usage, though. Its only happened a handful of times, and only when my hand is off of it. The free app is great too. You can easily set the sensitivity, speed, and color. I like how it has an extra middle button right beneath the scroll wheel that you can set to toggle between two speed/sensitivity settings. ie: I have it set up for normal/fast and slow/precise. Ive never had a mouse that can do that, and I love it. Its great for some games, and also software like Photoshop, Zbrush, etc. I highly recommend this model. EDIT: After about a year, the scroll wheel is dying. Not cool. I likely hastened its demise by playing a lot of Path of Exile, where clicking the wheel down acts as the third attack option button. Still, though. Its a shame the scroll wheel wasnt built very well. I basically cannot scroll web pages, etc. easily anymore. I have to replace this mouse. I docked it from 5/5 to 3/5 because of this huge issue.

Wonderful little mouse! Do note that you can actually change the color on the LED. I got the gold one and was a bit worried about the colors shown in the product preview, but I changed it to a lovely blue color. You can even make it do crazy color cycles and stuff. Feels very comfortable and easy to use.

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.

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 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.

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.

Only gripe is hitting the two side buttons is hard. Especially the farther forward one. Feels like I have to think about feeling for it to press it.

Its a pretty good mouse. A bit bigger then I expected. I dont like that you can only make two DPI settings. But it works well, no issues so far, and pretty accurate overall. Im a simple person when it comes to mouses, play games, but not a pro gamer or anything like that where every little things matter. Its good enough for me, and the few things I have an issue with, arent that big of a deal.

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.
