A Close Look At The New SteelSeries Rival 600: A Better Gaming Mouse

The Rival 600 is the latest gaming mouse from SteelSeries, and it sports a few features that make it stand out from other mice. First off, it has three side buttons whereas most gaming mice only have two. On top of that, the buttons are positioned in an ergonomic fashion that makes them easy to actuate with your thumb. The Rival 600’s weight is also adjustable; the side grips pop out easily where you can insert up to eight 4g weights (four on either side). In addition to firm left/right clicks and the accurate TrueMove3 optical sensor, the Rival 600 has full range RGB lighting (if you’re into that sort of thing). In the gallery above, we walk through what the mouse offers and look at it from all different angles.

It’s available now and carries a suggested retail price of $80 USD / £80 GBP.
