Great
The Rival 5 covers a lot of ground: great sensor performance, lots of buttons, strong value. This makes it a good choice whether you’re into shooters, or other genres.
• The weight and cable design are commendably light, especially considering the number of features.
• The software and lighting customization are quite flexible and allow making it your own.

Excellent Responsiveness
My son and I both use the rival 5 mouse. My set up is geared to work and his is for gaming. The precision of the mouse makes it a great choice for work and play.

A Steal
I've been a long time fan of SteelSeries exclusively purchasing my keyboards, mice, headsets, and mousepads from them for likely on a decade or more, and time came for me to finally move on from my Rival 500 that'd been hanging onto life support for too long and I can't say that the Rival 5 isn't serious bang-for-its-buck. I recommended it to all of my friends once it a...

Responsive & comfortable!
I purchased this mouse as a upgrade to the Rival 310, which I enjoyed for many years. This mouse feels just as good to use, with the added bonus of more buttons that can be utilized, and even more RGB lighting! Just like the 310, I find the Rival 5 to be very comfortable (esp. as someone with pretty big hands.) I have no complaints in terms of performance; the buttons a...

great mouse
I bought this mouse when my old one was starting to die on me. And I got to say I like this one a lot. It feels good in my hand, it's not heavy, and it scrolls way better than my old one.

Comfortable mouse
Bought this as a replacement for my Razer Mamba tournament edition. Overall it’s an excellent mouse. Comfortable, buttons are easy to use and has satisfying action on the clicks.

Comfortable and functional mouse - worth the price
I'm very satisfied with the purchase of the SteelSeries Rival 5. The mouse is incredibly precise, and its ergonomics make it fit perfectly in the hand. The biggest advantage for me is the large number of programmable buttons, which are well-placed and give great freedom for configuration in games. The SteelSeries Engine application is another plus - it's intuitive and o...

Mouse Rival 5
lightweight, comfortable mouse with excellent tracking and plenty of customizable buttons. It’s great for different game genres, though the side buttons can feel a bit cramped. Solid performance for the price if you don’t mind it being wired

Way better than the old one
I used to have a rival 3 it was a good mouse just not up to quality with the 5, it’s got a way better cord. The plastic is just completely different and the night buttons are a huge help.

Incredible Workhorse
I bought this to replace a previous Rival I'd had for multiple years and the upgrade is noticeable and astonishing. The click is very subtle but comfortable, the weight is SO comfortable, and the look is somehow still sleeker.

First time on the Rival 5
Always used the rival 3 but wasn’t able to get one without waiting. So I got the 5 and I’m loving it!

An 8 outta 10
Steel series gear isn't new to me. I've been buying it for probably 5+ years now and I have to say I've really been enjoying it, otherwise I wouldn't keep buying it. I've had to do some replacements over the last few years like getting a new mat for my desk because the quick prism's LEDs went out and replacing my old steelseries headphones because the bracket had broken...

Good mouse for price
Switched to Riv 5 from Riv 6 as the wheel stopped working. Had this mouse about a month and still getting use to side button location and actions. Feel is good, not bulky or small for use and comfort. Using for gaming and everyday use.
