SteelSeries Rival 650 Quantum Wireless Gaming Mouse - Rapid Charging, 12,000 Cpi Dual Sensor, 256 Weight Configs, 8 Zone RGB Lighting

This gaming mouse is my all time favorite. Especially with FPS games and needing consistency. Battery life is good and easy to charge. Feels good, with simplified thumb buttons and a good feeling right and left click. Scroll wheel has ridges so it is easy to turn only the amount you need for inventory games. BEWARNED! This mouse is amazing and I will aways use it but it has a terrible shelf life. Any where from 3 weeks to 9 months WILL BREAK WITHIN A YEAR. If used daily for fps. It is the same problem, the right click button will break, meaning the right click will stay in the down position and the click will not work. I have bought about half a dozen replacements in 3 to 4 years due to the right click breaking. Great mouse, great performance, easy software, terrible shelf life. Take the good with the bad, and consider before buying.

The SteelSeries Rival 650 is an incredible gaming mouse, especially for those who want adjustable weight customization. You can fine-tune the weight to your preference, making it perfect for any playstyle.The hand grip feels amazing, providing great comfort during long gaming sessions. I use it for Counter-Strike and Dota, and the performance is flawless—fast, responsive, and precise. The USB connection is super fast, and the battery life is excellent, lasting a long time between charges.The build quality is top-notch, making it a premium-feeling mouse. For its price, this is 100% worth it. If you need a reliable, customizable gaming mouse, this is the one to get!

I bought this mouse for gaming and as an every day purpose mouse and it works great with a few quarks. The side buttons work okay, it's just their position feels a little awkward. Doesn't feel as comfortable clicking on them compared to other mouses that I've used. The mouse wheel feels okay but not sure how durable it will be long term. Wish it had more of a clickier feel to it. Battery life is decent. It can last me about two days before needing another recharging.Although this mouse seems picky with what mouse padding surface you use. The sensor tracking can act a little wonky if you're using a low quality generic mouse pad. I bought a steelseries branded mouse pad with "optimized gaming sensor" surface and the mouse works a lot better with it.

If you like to keep flashy colors running on your wireless mouse, to keep it matching the rgb on the rest of your rig, then you'll be spending a lot of time on the wire. I don't know why, but I never seem to get ten minute charge times that last ten hours, or whatever they advertise. That said, once charged even with the flashy lights kicking, I can still get a gaming session that last hours upon hours with it.The mouse glides really smooth, unlike any other mouse I've had the past 20 years. It feels good, and the dpi switch helps if you feel like you need two sensitivities for more than one activity, like gaming for instance.The buttons click reliably and easily with little pressure, making this a great operating mouse. The mouse wheel only scrolls and clicks, no side to side, which helps. It doesn't feel loose and wiggly, it's firm and the click is straight forward and reassuring, unlike even some other high end mice.The mouse looks awesome, feels great, and has the option to add weight, if that is your thing. For me, I use it without the weights, and it feels awesome.Like one other reviewer mentioned, the rubber on the right side where your third finger holds the mouse starts to curl up. They should have made the two rubber grip pads on big pad on the right side to prevent this rubber lifting. I don't know if super glue will fix that, but as a serious gamer, this can be a HUGE problem, hence the four stars.The mouse fits great in my semi-large hands. My sons with smaller hands don't like how far back the rear hump of the mouse reaches. This prevents precise finger movements for aiming if there isn't room in your hand for the mouse to move around. A smaller back is ALWAYS better for gaming mice. For me it's no issue, but may be for some.The mouse you use can be very subjective, like the issue in the last paragraph. If your mouse is a big decision for you, I'd suggest trying some out at a local retailer, so you know what feels best for you.The mouse is precise and smooth, and it looks cool. I'd buy it again for sure.
