SteelSeries Rival 5 Gaming Mouse with 9 Programmable Buttons and 18k CPI TrueMove Air Optical Sensor

I have been using the mouse for about a month now and I definitely will be buying again if anything happens. My last mouse had an issue with it's middle mouse button and with the Rival 5 it feels like there's attention and care to make sure nothing goes out easily with repetitive use. I'm only used to two additional buttons but I am gradually becoming a big fan of having extra. It's not in the way so that I accidentally hit them either, so I'm quite pleased with it overall. This is easily five stars, with potential to go down if I find that things start acting up in the future.

The SteelSeries Rival 5 is an exceptional all-rounder that earns its praise online through incredible precision and versatility. The crisp click feel and high-end sensor deliver a significant performance boost, particularly for those switching from Roccat. Although the software's overview requires a small learning curve, the level of customization available is truly impressive. Once you navigate the SteelSeries app, every parameter can be perfectly tailored to your personal gaming needs. Its ergonomic shape provides great comfort for long sessions, making it an all-around excellent choice. This mouse is a fantastic upgrade that matches the feel and quality of the Apex pro I already have.

It goes clicky click and it has shiny colours. It clicks where i want it to click and i have extra buttons for extra clicking! Seriously though. I have a great gaming experience and no issues with it whatsoever. Its also pretty great for smaller hands.

Have been putting off getting a new mouse and finally pulled the trigger. And now I'm regretting having waited. It's such an upgrade from my previous (Logitech) mouse which was actually pretty good. But the weight, response, feel, and application customization are far better than I had before. Nicely done SteelSeries

This is the 3rd one i’m buying. The button placement makes it so easy to hit multiple presets really quickly, the mouse is accurate, lightweight, and the GG software with prismsync works perfectly with it. the mouse is extremely reliable, i had one for years and when i replaced it i spilled water and ruined it and bought my 3rd one. my girlfriend loved it so i bought her one too!

The mouse really lives up to the expectations. The sensitivity and mousebuttons can be completely customized to your liking and the lights can also be changed to match your other rgb stuff. Would recommend if you need alot of keybinds that u can replace on the sidebuttons.

Bought it about a month or 2 ago because my ancient rival 310 was starting to act up a little when clicking and the new thing works very nice. One thing is that the colours of the lights aren’t quite 100% accurate at least on mine, anything other than strong red is a little more whited out than the last mouse but not really a big deal.

Love it! I was using Razer before, but their product quality has been declining like crazy over the past years, so I'm really happy to have found good quality stuff for very affordable prices. Plus the additional buttons on the side are quite handy in my daily FFXIV endeavors Also: The buttons are super clicky, which tickles my brain just right!

It feel excellent in your hand, the material used feels good and doesnt get dirty. The only point i have is the problem that arises with the 3 stacked side buttons. You can sometimes press the wrong one. But I noticed i got used to it sfter some time. Great mouse, recommend.

Great performance in fps games, agile and good response. Got the rival 5 after my rival 650 had problems with the scroll wheel and must say the plastic feels cheaper. Not surprising since there is also a big price gap. Would say that the rival 5 is great but I would prefer higher quality plastic with a higher price tag.
