Top quality
I asked around to see what good mice were on the market, so I opted for this one and I'm not disappointed. Very good finish and comfortable grip. The software for adjusting the mouse is very intuitive.
Very good quality mouse, not expensive.
You can customise the colours using the Steelseries GG software, which is made from quality plastic. I use it with a Steelseries Apex 3 TKL keyboard, which makes a great inexpensive combo for gaming.
The mouse is rather large, but even with small hands like mine, it's got a good grip.
I 100% recommend it!
the pluses
perfect glide
light effects and customizable effect with its steelseries software
good grip for games and work.

Back and front button not very accessible.
The grey button is not really accessible.
I find it a bit too light.
I bought the Rival5 to replace my Razer Abyssus which had given up the ghost after 8 years of good and loyal service.
After a month of use, I would say that it is perfect for those with large hands. The extra buttons compared to the Abyssus are welcome in games that require special abilities to be activated.
The only downside for me is that I would have liked the two main buttons to make a little softer noise, but I have sensitive ears :)
One of my best mouse purchases, I needed a mouse with 5 programmable buttons, and in the end I use 8 of them so well. The big grey button is very well thought out, I had my doubts when I bought it but in the end it's more precise than the wheel click and it's an ideal replacement for the latter!
I've had the mouse for 8 months now, and it hasn't moved and is still as accurate as when it came out of the box. The mouse cable is a bit long for my use but otherwise the rest is flawless and it is light.
I haven't used it extensively yet, but it delivers. Very good mouse, the RGB works very well and is adjustable from the buttons as well as from the steelseries app, and it's really not complicated to understand. No worries about the sensitivity. I recommend it! :)
I bought this mouse as a replacement for my Logitech g300S. The quality is noticeable, the buttons on the side fall well under the thumb (except maybe the grey button depending on the position of the hand). The Steelseries engine software allows you to customize the button functions from A to Z (macro, keyboard keys, text, etc), the acceleration/deceleration sensitivity and set the rgb on each zone. It is also possible to synchronize the rgb with other Steelseries devices. I've been using it for 1 week now and I'm not disappointed with the purchase!
