A Bit light but nice!
My previous mouse was the rival 600 which I liked very much. This one ia a bit lighter and overall feels a bit “cheaper” but overall I do like it and I would buy it again!

Great value mouse!
I bought this mouse a few weeks ago, and it works perfectly! The shape feels nice in my hand palm and the buttons offer nice customization. The mouse was a bit heavier than I expected, but that is because I am used to a mouse that weighs around 76 grams instead of the Rival's stated 86. What I really like are the cushions underneath the mouse, allowing for good movemen...

Good overall
Good grip, good weight, good quality, easy to handle and click and quite precise (on a steelseries mouse pad). Feels overall excellent. Maybe the thumb button is a bit far and there's this issue with the lights flickering when several sessions are running steelGG (which is fixed by closing the app on the other session). Nevertheless, it's lightyears away from my previou...

My first gaming mouse since 2012
Recently bought my first gaming pc and needed some gear. After looking through some reviews, the Rival 5 emerged as my go-to choice.
Cool design, nice materials. Haven’t had any problems and the price/performance speaks for itself.

Rival 5
I used a Rival 100 mouse for many years, and it was time for an upgrade. The Rival 5 turned out to be the perfect choice: it’s light, comfortable, has a great cable, and lets you customize the lighting. An excellent choice.

Solid option
I picked this up a month or so ago after my previous SS mouse gave up the ghost after 3 years. It's a solid mouse with good button options. The only thing I would improve on is the weight, it is very light. My prior mouse had custom weights so I could adjust to my feel, but that's just a personal preference

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.

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.
