![]() ![]() However, SteelSeries included the TrueMove 3 sensor, found in our favorite gaming mouse, the SteelSeries Rival 600. The sensor is limited to 12,000 counts per inch (CPI), which is lower than the 16,000 we’ve seen in many other high-end mice. That quality bleeds over into the actual performance of the mouse, too – as you may expect from a mouse you’re dropping 100 bucks on. This isn’t a mouse for anyone looking for prodigious value, but rather for the kind of person that likes having everything attached to their gaming rig be of comparable (and high) quality. The SteelSeries Rival 710 is an expensive mouse, sure, but it’s so full of features that the high price is justified for the right kind of user. Software this powerful can be intimidating if it’s not done well, but we’re happy to report that it works flawlessly. Through this app, you can control every aspect of your mouse, from lighting to button assignments – you can even adjust advanced settings, like angle snapping and polling rate. But, since we spent most of our time playing Metro 2033 and Resident Evil 2, we didn’t have much of a use for it.īoth of these fancy features, along with the two-zone RGB lighting, are controlled through the SteelSeries Engine software. ![]() They’re cool, and the vibration is potentially useful if you play cooldown-based esports. It’s not going to be compatible with normal rumble functionality, like with an Xbox One controller, but maybe that’s something that can be implemented through software in the future.Īfter messing around with these features, we really don’t see wide utility in them. This is especially useful in games like League of Legends or DOTA 2, where you have one ability that you need to keep track of. You can program it to go off on a timer or after a certain button press. There’s also a haptic engine in the back of the mouse. There’s no color support, but the customization options are endless. It’s not very large, but you can customize the image that appears, and you can even have it display a GIF. On the left hand side of the mouse, next to the three side buttons, is an OLED display. Then there are the more ‘unique’ features of the SteelSeries Rival 710. Out of the box, you’ll get two different cables, a 1 meter non-braided cable and a 2 meter non-braided cable – the latter of which we prefer. Plus, with replaceable cables, cable wear shouldn’t be an issue. ![]() Not only does this mean that you can fully customize this mouse, but it also means if more powerful sensors get released in the future, you can upgrade the Rival 710. The cable, the back plate, the rear logo and even the sensor can be removed and replaced by the user. You shouldn’t have to worry about the mouse getting worn out, either – not only are the mechanical split-trigger switches rated for 60 million clicks, but almost every piece of the mouse is swappable. Just eight – with three programmable buttons on the side and a CPI switch behind the mouse wheel. ![]()
