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
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
None, Neutral, Maybe a little over-engineered to appeal to high-end competitive gamers, “Innovation is rare in the peripherals market these days, but the Rival 700 has brought some new dynamics to PC gaming that we’re certain we’ll be seeing again. Flawle
PriceThe SteelSeries Rival 700 Optical Gaming Mouse is available from almost all major retailers with a price of around £80. We found it in stock at Amazon for £59.99, which isn't cheap, but given the range of features on offer, it's a bit of bargain as y...

The idea of having a tactile Feedback for cooldowns on a mouse is simply genius. This along with a plethora of additional features and an impressive optical senor makes the SteelSeries Rival 700 simply one of the best mice I've ever tested. The SteelS...

Responsive, Well built, Custom options, Tactile feedback, Friendly software
Weighs quite a bit, Usefulness of OLED
I cannot ignore that the Rival 700 owns (or PWNS) some firsts. The tactile feedback motor, swapable tracking sensor and an OLED screen are all new to me on a mouse.Does it need these though? Well, the vibrating feedback works remarkably well I have to say...

Not wireless
The Rival 700 has brought some new/old ideas to the table (depending how you look at it)yet their implementation is flawless. Sure vibration and tactile feedback isn't anything new, but they are something that has been missing in the realm of mouse and ke...

Capteur optique très précis et réactif, remplaçable par un capteur laser (option), Prise en main confortable, Alertes tactiles (vibrations) intéressantes, Molette douce et bien crantée, Bonne qualité de fabrication, Coque interchangeable
Un peu lourde (136,5 g sans câble), Écran Oled peu utile, Troisième bouton de tranche peu accessible, Seuls quelques jeux sont pleinement compatibles avec les alertes tactiles
Les fonctions spécifiques et la modularité de la Rival 700 soufflent le chaud et le froid. La possibilité de changer la coque et le capteur sont appréciables, les alertes tactiles ne manquent pas d'intérêt, mais l'écran Oled relève plus du gadget. Surtout...
