The editors didn't like
Relatively heavy
The main soft button that is not customary for gamers in fps
Only for right-handers
Support GameSense is very limited
Buttons closest to the front of the mouse are hard to reach and there's no tactile bump to distinguish different buttons around the thumb
"Tactile Feedback" is only in a handful of games
Short
Squat
And heavy
Tons of buttons
But none feel great to press
A braided cable
Or swappable cables like the Rival 700
Would be a nice addition. Only three games work with Gamesense
Steep learning curve
No onboard profiles
Could be too cumbersome for people looking for something more streamlined
The Rival 500 is fascinating. I can't in good conscience score it highly—I just don't think it's an incredible mouse. The shape is squat and fat, it's heavy, the buttons are spongy when they need a satisfying click and too stiff when they need to be spong...

The Rival 500 is a fantastic mouse; RGB colours is the trend right now, and SteelSeries are taking that on-board and giving users exactly what they want. The programmable buttons are fantastic and comfortable to use. The vibration feature for gamers in an...
Je cherchais la souris parfaite afin d'entretenir une relation longue et forte et je pense l'avoir trouvée. Ses formes, son déhanché, son touché, sa brillance font de cette perle la souris parfaite pour de nombreux d'entre nous.Pour 89,99€ (84,99 chez Ama...
Abstract: Avec sa gamme de mulots Rival, SteelSeries veut se démarquer de la concurrence. La Rival 700 l'a montré en intégrant un petit affichage OLED dans un mulot destiné au joueur de FPS et la Rival 500 est leur tentative dans le monde des MOBA. Pour plaire aux...
Nombreux boutons judicieusement positionnés, Prise en main agréable, Bonne qualité de fabrication, Excellent capteur, précis et rapide, Système de vibrations (alertes tactiles) intéressant
Certains la trouveront un peu lourde (130 g) et imposante, Seuls quelques jeux sont pleinement compatibles avec les alertes tactiles
Très complète, précise et agréable à utiliser malgré son gabarit relativement imposant, la Rival 500 réjouira les joueurs qui ont besoin de beaucoup de boutons sur leur souris. Bien placés, ces derniers sont aisément identifiables en pleine partie et ne d...
Steelseries ne change pas une équipe qui gagne et ça se voit. La qualité et la finition de la souris sont au rendez-vous et le placement des boutons ne dénature pas du tout le confort de jeu, d'utilisation et de design.Nous remercions Steelseries pour le...
