I do some heavy computer work and gaming, so this mouse was a better choice.
The color options on the steel series software are awesome. I always do a red/white look with my RGB and it has multiple zones to match your color schemes. Functionally, the mouse has acceleration and deceleration options for different types of media/games. It's a solid and well-priced mouse with minimal/standard button features.

Original review: I was really liking this mouse, the dual wireless modes were great. One day I went to use it and it didn't work. I normally ONLY use high end lithium batteries since old fashioned alkaline batteries always explode or leak. I had used the included batteries in a pinch and sure enough, they had exploded, ruining the mouse. Don't use the included batteries.

Cons, just two (plus the new major con after years of use)...
1. The back and forward buttons on the side are tiny as can be. It took me a good week just to get used to using them. Just saying they could be bigger in some way.
2. The colors red and orange have just one shade compared to the other colors. You can tell this immediately when simply viewing the colors changing because it rushes right through red and orange. When you use the software to make the mouse just orange, it's orange, nothing wrong with that. But when you do the same for red, it's a light colored red. I personally wish to make it just a little more redder or darker if you know what I mean, to match my red theme of my PC theme. Just had to mention this because it's one of those little things that just has to exist on my new mouse.
P.S. The other colors are insanely GREAT looking. Especially the shades of purple, pink, blue and green. You can set a custom fade loop with these colors and it's marvelous. I do recommend this mouse just don't overpay for it. $30 is pretty much its top dollar(imo). Possibly $35 at most.
EDIT: After 2 years and 7 months, the right mouse button chose to randomly break off (see pictures). I did not abuse this mouse at all and barely even play games with it as I use a controller for most of my game playing. When I contacted Steel Series customer support about this all they did was offer me 15% off another Steel Series product and a "very sorry" apology along with the following...
"Hey there! My name is Bir and I will be doing my best to take care of you! I genuinely appreciate your follow-up and patience regarding your devices. Because we appreciate you being a part of the SteelSeries community and choosing our products in the past, and that we care about you as a customer; we've attempted to troubleshoot your mouse, and since we couldn't resolve the issue and your warranty has expired, we're happy to provide you with a 15% off coupon.
My response... "So your solution to the mouse breaking is to invest more money into another one for $3 less?
Their response... "Unfortunately, we don't have a repair service at this time. Additionally, as you've stated, the mouse was purchased over 2 years ago which would place it outside of warranty and we would not be able to replace it. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
My response... "When will a repair service be available? Buying a product that randomly breaks in less than 3 years with 100% normal use is more than an inconvenience, it's a faulty product. Do you care that my review will reflect this and do you care if I mention exactly what happened in my review? Because this issue needs to be known, as well as the fact that you're doing nothing about it and that people need to expect their same product to become faulty after 2 years.
Their response... "Hey there, Currently there is no known plans of any repair services in the future and I do apologize about that. Please let us know if you need any more assistance.
My response... "Ah, I see. So you don't care. Sounds about right. Well, enjoy the bad review.
Their response... I'll mark this case solved. Please feel free to reach out if you have additional concerns. GLHF"
End of customer support ticket.
This is as honest of a review as I can give. Buyer beware, this mouse is made of cheap plastic on the inside. Again, don't expect it to last more than mine did because I did not abuse it at all. So I easily expect a lot of people buying this mouse are going to be using it for aggressive gaming purposes. I'd look at alternative options.
Yes, it was a good mouse while it lasted and I did get used to the mouse buttons on the side. It's just not worth it for the long term and Steel Series knows this.

Top reviews from other countries
this thing go through battery relatively quickly so buy rechargeable one (amazon basic AAA)
I am not a big fan of the whole RGB on everything movement. It was a bit more complicated than I would have liked to modify the RGB settings out of the box. I had to install a 400MB software package to control this which seems like total overkill, but if you have some use for the additional software that is bundled, it is a great value. After figuring out how to modify the RGB, it is actually kind of fun. It is cool being able to modify 5 different zones each with different colors if you want, especially at this price point.
I have large hands, so a slightly larger mouse would be ideal, which is why I am knocking one star off the ergonomics and comfort. Still at this price point, it will be impossible to find the same quality, so this is a no brainer. While the software feels like over kill, I don't know of any mouse that doesn't require software installation to modify the settings and to the best of my knowledge, Steelseries doesn't have the privacy concerns that many other big brands have been exposed to have with their software. I am about a month in and very happy with the purchase. Unless there is a compelling need for more buttons or format, I don't know why you would want to spend more!
The gear is awesome. The mice, however, have been hit and miss.
The PRIME mouse for example, was amazing until it wasn't. It bricked from a firmware update and Steel Series support was completely useless on the matter. No live chat... just a stream of emails asking if I tried turning it on/off, reinstalling etc. The issue could not be resolved -which sucks- because: i) the Prime was primo dinero $$$ and ii) SS chose not time fix the issue and instead dedicated resources to building a new Diablo mouse.
Suffice to say, I was hesitant to replace the Prime with another SS product but chose the RIVAL 5 (wired) since all my suite is SS.
The Rival 5 is a great mouse. It is ergonomic, has good balance, it lights up nicely and the clicks are sharp.
The ONLY issue I have with the Rival 5 is a glaring design flaw.
That the silver 'trigger' button for the thumb... is COMPLETELY out of reach unless you have alien long fingers (which 90% of us don't have) which renders said button COMPLETELY useless.
I had read the other complaints about this issue and dismissed it.
Oh well >_<
Los materiales son ligeros y cabe bien en manos medianas. Generalmente lo uso en agarre de palma. Es muy comodo.
Me hubiese gustado por el precio que el cable fuera mallado, sin embargo, el cable es de buena calidad y es mas flexible, sore todo si se tiene algo que pueda estorbarlo al moverlo.
Recomendado como primer mouse gamer. ✨
