Support GameSense is very limited
Proprietary cable and connectors
135g weight is not adjustable
RGB not easily visible in use
Limited game support for OLED and Tactile feedback
None for the mouse
Slightly high keyboard price and no wrist rest
Price (For Some)
Right Handed Only
OLED display is mostly a gimmick
"tactile alerts" work on only three games
Just two storable DPI settings
No separate X- and Y-axis adjustment
Just three buttons likely programmable
Additional modular components are expensive
For right-handed use only
Only three games with Gamesense support
OLED panel/Prism RGB only update in realtime with GameSense enabled titles
No options for configuring responsive events otherwise
Very limited number of GameSense titles (3)
Without GameSense integration
Additional features are of dubious value over
Expensive
GameSense only works with three games
Dota 2
CS
Go & Minecraft
Aesthetics and mouse grip preference might vary according to taste
Gimmicky features
Heavy due to so many features
Although some may like its weight
OLED screen more of a gimmick than a useful feature - it is fun to play with
Though
Not many games work with Gamesense
As such there is no problem with the mouse
However
In order to change cables
You have to be technical
– The software has so many options
Which you as a starter might not be able to comfortable with but for professional gamers
This is a pretty easy mouse to recommend. It's definitely up there with the top tier of gaming mice for a fraction of the cost. Sure, we would have liked for it to be a touch more comfortable, but with that being the most nit-picky of arguments, this mous...

Abstract: I've used a number of computer mice over the years, from the rudimentary upside-down trackball types of days gone by, to high-tech wireless laser and multitouch mice. They each have had their time in the sun at my desk, but it's time to say goodbye to all...

SteelSeries was behind many gaming mice that I happened to like and use quite a lot including the Xai, Sensei and Sensei MLG models so when they released the Rival 700 I just had to get my hands on it. The housing of the Rival 700 doesn't follow...
The SteelSeries Rival 700 is one of the most ambitious mice I've had the pleasure of using. It builds onto a mostly solid base by adding an OLED display and incorporating tactile alerts through the GameSense feature. Vibration isn't something usually see...
When a product comes along with this many features it is difficult to know quite where to start. We could just talk about the sensor and the switches, but when there is so much extra sizzle with the steak it seems like we'd be doing the Rival 700 a disser...

We cannot deny that the shape of the Rival 700 makes it undeniably one of the most comfortable mice we have tested so far; we did try it in The Division, Counter-Strike Source, Paladins, Ghost in Shell, Quantum Break but also Paragon and the response to o...
