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
  • Can only quick-switch two different DPI levels

  • 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...

  • Good button placement, Intuitive design, Useful software tools
  • Poor build quality, Chalky exterior
  • Only if you absolutely need a mouse with more than 10 buttons. The Steelseries Rival 500 features a superb button layout. Just be sure to invest in a good microfiber cloth to keep this thing clean, and treat the cord gingerly.If you want a general gaming...

  • 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...

  • Finition, Performances, Prise en main
  • Bonne question !
  • 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...
