Cut the cable! Jump on the Wireless Hype Train.

The Rival 650 Wireless Edition is by far the greatest mouse I have ever picked up. Starting with the build design and aesthetics, it is very nice to look at. With that being said, the RGB is just fine as well, adds a really nice touch but I am more focused on the performance of the mouse. I purchased this mouse to complete my laptop gaming setup that has just now become that much more portable and easy to setup. I paired this device with my Razer Blade 15 and it was an immediate plug and play, I took the USB dongle and I was ready to go right out the gate. It even came with a full-charged battery, which was very nice of them! For the grip, I always have used claw grip; with a hand size of around 7.2 inches from finger tip to palm, this mouse is just perfect for me. Anybody with larger hands will surely enjoy this product if that's what they're searching for. The grip is just fabulous, from the silicone side panels to the slip resistant tops of mouse1 and mouse2, this is just so comfortable to use for longer periods of time. I am glad that I chose this mouse over the Logitech G Pro Wireless. The Logitech G Pro was just too light and small for me to feel like I was in control. This mouse is similar to a Razer Deathadder if it were wireless, which is my favorite mouse of all time. However, I can see that view changing as I use the Steelseries Rival 650 more often. When it comes to price point, I picked this up for just $83.99 brand new on Black Friday and could not be happier. At this price point, especially when discounted, it is a luxury grade wireless mouse for the price of your average top-tier gaming mice. In my opinion, it surpasses the previous mice that I have used all while cutting the cord! I have a free range of motion and do not even have to think about where the cord restricts me, gaming on a laptop. This is the most impressive thing of all, that the sensor is this accurate and so easy to use, it feels just as good to use during gaming sessions as the top-tier mice on the market. I hope that I have done a good job documenting what is on the packaging and more importantly, what is inside the box. Hope this helped you guys who are considering making the jump to wireless. I was looking through the market for a while waiting to jump on the wireless mouse train, but hesitant to spend the hefty price of around $80-120. But in the end, I believe it was worth it and recommend those who have larger hands looking to find the wireless mouse build just for them (As long as you're right handed, lol.) In conclusion, it's perfect for the laptop gamer like myself that wants a powerful and efficient gaming setup that you can put anywhere. I will put a quick little list of pros and cons about this mouse below. Pros: Wireless Heavier - More control at higher DPI Effortless Setup Quick Charging (Just as Advertised) Sleek Design Satisfying Clicks Programmable Buttons! (+5 Excluding M1 + M2) Cons: Takes an unusual amount of time to wakeup Heavy, starting at 121g (For some this is a con) Liftoff is very sensitive, searching for any dip or bump in your pad - becomes shaky, however, I do not notice this in game; only when screwing around with the sensor on desktop

This Gaming Mouse is Incredible

So I saw a YouTube video on this mouse how it made whoever uses it a “human aimbot” very skeptical at first. The reviews on this weren’t the greatest and it was expensive. I needed a new mouse and did A TON of research. I narrowed it down to a Logitech G502 Hero or the Steel Series Rival 600. And I ended up buying the Rival 600, and I will say this it is one of the best purchases I have made for my computer so far. Previously I was using the MSI DS200. The MSI DS200 lacked a good software like the Rival 600 has, it was heavy and customization was terrible. But the Rival 600 is insane. To start off the customization is crazy! There are 7 zones on the mouse that you can control the color of if you want each zone to be a different color you can do that. If you want one side to breathe and the other side to be a solid color you can do that! Literally the color combinations for this mouse, the sky is the limit. With the software you can also control the CPI (the speed at which your cursor moves). For games like Fortnite I play on 500 CPI and the middle button kicks it up to 700. The tracking on the mouse is really some of the best. My KD has gone up on every game I play. This mouse is truly one of the best. It is also super lightweight, and if you want more weights you can put them on. But remember the lighter the mouse the more control you have over it. I will say there is only one downside to this mouse and that is the number of programable buttons it has. There are really only 3 unless you count the middle button (which would be nearly impossible to hit mid-game). So if your coming from something like a G502 you’ll have to adjust. All-in-all, this mouse is amazing and worth every penny! From my experience it’s one of the better mouses out there as far as customization and true 1:1 tracking. I would recommend this mouse to anyone that is looking to improve gameplay or if you need a new mouse don’t sleep on this one. You won’t regret it!

Best gaming mouse I've owned

I've owned a ton of mice over the years, including a number of gaming mice from Razr and Logitech. I've never found wireless mice to be worth the hassle (too much interference), and this mouse fit the bill- great shape, adjustable weights (I like a heavier mouse), tons of configuration options (DPI, polling rate, color scheme), and have been impressed by the "lift-off" sensor, which you can tweak, which accounts for the minute amounts of vertical play that a gaming mouse might see in the heat of virtual battle. At the end of the day, I forget about the mouse- which is the highest compliment I can give, because a mouse should feel like an extension of your hand, not a clunky, gaudy piece of kit.

Updated Review

[Update] Wow do i feel like an idiot.. My original review i gave this 3 stars because i thought the mouse was deffective and not charging... Turns out i hadn't plugged in the usb all the way 😂 After a month of using this i really do like the mouse. It is a bit pricey but it has great battery life, great grip, and cool lighting features. The buttons now I've gotton used too i think when i wrote my original review i was just letting my OCD get the better of me. If u like wireless opt for this mouse. If u dont mind having the cable at all times then the wired version is for you and its a bit cheaper. I got to say that i am a little disappointed in this mouse considering how expensive it is. First off my mouse was defective out of the box. It was not working when plugged in via the usb cable nor would it charge. the steelseries engine didn't even recognize it as being plugged in. The only work around was to use it wirelessly but whats the point in having a wireless mouse if you can't charge it? So why am i rating it 3 stars out of 5? Well check this out, i had both the defective mouse and replacement mouse sitting next to each other and i noticed that the buttons don't even feel the same! the clicky-ness of the old mouse was far superior to the new replacement i was sent. The LMB feels so much sturdier as opposed to spongy like on my replacement. But im done sending it back in to be replaced. This one works as intended even if the mouse buttons aren't as great as the old broken mouse i had originally received.. But to have the quality vary this much on a $100 mouse is truly disappointing. I can only imagine how this mouse will hold up in a couple months. probably not well. I recommend you guys go with Logitech unless you want to gamble and see how your mouse turns out. maybe it will work right out of the box and maybe your mouse buttons will be the good ones too!

Rival 600 is the most fantastic mouse I have ever put my oversized hands on

Rival 600 is the most fantastic mouse I have ever put my oversized hands on. It immediately felt great and it just molded to my hand so well. The sensors felt very snappy. And my aim is 10x more precise than with any corsair and razer mouse I've used. The rgb looks nice. The software wasn't difficult to navigate for me and hasn't seemed bloated or made computer sluggish. It's a near perfect mouse in every way and has immediately made me better at the games I love. The R+L clicks on the front are a separate piece of plastic from the body, meaning your fingers resting will be less likely to accidentally hold the buttons down. (had this problem with corsair glaive and m65.) scroll wheel is easiest scroll wheel click I've felt. The list just goes on. As long as the mouse lasts a long time, it's the best. Time will tell, but right now I'm gushing about it every day. Screaming my love for this mouse from the rooftops. Cons No braided cable, it's rubber and it sticks. (the cable detaches and you can connect braided micro USB, I've done it.) Side buttons took a little getting used to over the corsair glaive. The finish feels slippery but has not proven to be a problem in game.

Deserves 5 stars despite a few cons

I'll get to cons, but this mouse gets 5 stars for 10/10 sensors, perfect wireless, and probably the coolest lighting on a mouse out there. This is a large heavy mouse, even without adding any of its weights, and this is perfect for me, but possibly not everyone. There is no benefit to heavy/large over light/small, it is entirely personal preference. Some cons: -Battery life worse than competitors, but you still aren't going to be running out of juice even with the lighting turned up but if you forget to plug it in when you go to bed you may be limited in the morning. The mouse works just find plugged in too, so really it's a little con. -Third side mouse button feels light years away from my thumb even though I have large hands. If you don't have large hands I imagine it will be especially bad because even I have to shift my grip to reach it. Other two are perfectly placed. -It could use a grippier coating around the outside to make gripping and picking up easier. I upgraded from a Rival 300 and that had a nice grippy siding, althout it did wear down. -Weight seems to heavily lean towards the back. That means during pickups if you don't have a strong grip you might find you're dragging the back of it along while you pick up. This does not make pickups less accurate as the sensor still knows very well that you lifted. This hasn't actually bothered me, I almost like the resistance it gives when picking up, but it seems like this was something they settled on for some design reason and not the way that they would actually want it to balance. Overall, worth the price just to get these sensors with wireless and pretty lights (which you care about, don't lie to yourself).

A terrific mouse

I purchased this mouse to complement my MSI Raider RGB laptop. The laptop comes with a Steel Series keyboard that lights up, as well as lights on the cover of the laptop that can be configured using the Steel Series Engine software. The mouse itself feels very good in my hand. It's comfortable and has plenty of buttons and feels solid. I played around with a Logitech 905 wireless mouse at a local store, and it felt flimsy by comparison. The accuracy of the mouse is a noticeable upgrade from my Logitech m505 that I was using until this mouse arrived. Having said that, this mouse is really the only choice if you already have a Steel Series keyboard or display or, as in my case, Steel Series hardware built into your laptop. The Steel Series Engine comes with an app that can be used to coordinate the lights for each device so they all match. It definitely impressed my friends and coworkers at the office. You can also customize the lights with different patterns in the software, or turn it off if you want to conserve battery life. The mouse charges to full in no time at all and lasts a good little while. I used it for a marathon session this evening, playing League of Legends, World of Warcraft, and I even got some work done. Overall this is a terrific mouse by itself, but if you already have Steel Series hardware like a keyboard, this is almost your only logical choice if you are shopping for a mouse.

GREAT MOUSE FOR FPS (OVERWATCH)

I purchased the Rival 600 a few days ago, I've had it for a couple of days now and wow. I am using this mouse to play Overwatch, CSGO and Battle Field One -- My in game accuracy has in-fact improved, (from 45% hit average to 52%) is an understatement. The tracking is smooth and accurate and the lift off distance sensor works great for me because I don't have the desk space needed to play so I often have to lift my mouse to reposition. I specifically bought this mouse because I have been using the Razer Naga for years now for all my gaming needs. Lately, I've been really into OW and playing Widow and McCree often -- in most matches I did fine but when I faced other GOOD Widows I noticed I'd get beat to a shot by mere milliseconds and my ping is fairly low (30ms on average) and play on a 144hz monitor. I was beginning to think my reflexes just weren't good enough.. Then a friend of mine suggested I get a mouse for FPS games -- (like wth is the difference is what I thought) he teased me about using a MOBA mouse for FPS -- long story short I figured I'd give it a shot. I looked at a ton of reviews on gaming mice and the Rival 600 caught my attention, so I bought. It is worth every cent -- it just feels much more accurate. To be fair if you suck at FPS it won't make you good via magic but it can help you improve a bit if you know what you are doing already, that is MY OPINION. The only issues I've had with the mouse is that the lift off sensor is TOO sensitive. After calibrating the mouse to my pad, I simply set the liftoff sensor to the lowest lift distance possible -- and low behold there are dips and bumps on my pad that I hadn't even noticed before. When the sensor would hit these dips and bumps the mouse would stop responding. At first I thought the mouse was defective and was about to return it but after reading thru a few forum posts on this issue I simply increased the lift off distance a bit and the problem went way. ***EDIT*** This is the the third product every I buy from SteelSeries, the first product was a wired USB headset that sounded prettty decent, was cheap and broke within a few weeks. I tossed that and carried on. However, recently I found a review for their Artic PRO + DAC headset -- I was sold by the aluminum design (as my previous headset was plastic and broke really easily). Plus I am a bit of an audiophile, meaning I can appreciate good sound equipment (like I hate hate sound bars) and this headset is one of the first HIFI certified "gaming" headset. So I bought it.. and feel in love with it -- it was a bit pricey but I am enjoying it. And now the Rival 600 is my new favorite mouse for FPS (I still like the NAGA for FFXIV). SteelSeries is on a roll with me atm with their products, if only they made a competitor to the Razer Tartarus.. I'd buy that in a heart beat -- I recently purchased the Razer Tartarus v2 (I own two others) and it's so buggy and their software sucks -- problem is very few companies make these keypads and most of them are terrible. So SteelSeries make one.. please :P

Wonderful mouse, amazing customer service, but beware firmware issue.

Coming from a 120+ gram Roccat Nyth (great mouse with modular thumb buttons, and I used it in the wide setup for ring finger support), this is a light, joyful experience in the hand. I am using no additional weights. After watching Rocket Jump Ninja's excellent reviews, I decided this was the proper fit for my hands (over the Logitech g403 and SteelSeries Rival 310). It's easy enough to setup with the software (SteelSeries Engine 3), and the automatic recognition of games/programs works quickly. I have used both Roccat and Logitech software for programming mice, and they're all somewhat opaque at first. I think each need some UI work when it comes to selecting profiles to be edited. They all work well enough. The first Rival 600 I orderd was an Amazon Warehouse deal for a used mouse. It was like new and seemed to work flawlessly...but it had an issue that others have reported elsewhere online: the firmware would not load. Indeed, the software periodically became unresponsive, and the mouse sometimes failed to swap profiles. Additionally, when waking my PC from sleep or booting up, the mouse would not respond besides lighting up the LEDs (although the two middle strips were flickering noticeably). So after interacting with SteelSeries customer support through their website, they decided I ought to RMA it. In the interest of time, I returned the defective unit to Amazon directly and purchased a new one. It came with up-to-date firmware already installed. Now the software works great in concert.

Probably my favorite mouse in a while

I bought this to replace my wired Razer Mamba, which wasn’t a bad mouse but it had a broken side button out of the box and was a lazer mouse. So I decided to go back to optical with the same LED scheme because I like my aesthetics. The mouse comes with 8 4gram weights so you can weigh the mouse how you need, they go into the sides of the mouse which are detachable by magnets. The mouse has a really nice quality feel to it, like durable plastic but with rubbery coating. The buttons on the side feel good to press as well as the clicking it. The LEDs are nice and have different sections you can color through the Steelseries Engine app. It has a very precise censor, as well as a liftoff sensor to reduce shake or stutter of the cursor after lifting it and putting it down. I really love this mouse and everything it has to offer, even the shape (which I recommend for claw grip or palm tbh)
