The all new center of gravity tuning system includes moveable weights and light-to-heavy customization, delivering the widest range of adjustment of any gaming mouse. The mouse features silicon grips and a soft-touch finish. SteelSeries claims the mouse is compatible with both "claw" and "palm" grips, so it should please gamers of both camps. I'm personally a claw-grip gamer, so I paid close attention to whether this shape is satisfactory or not. The Rival 600 sports 8-zone RGB lighting, which is a lot for a mouse, and though your hand covers it up most of the time it looks pretty cool when it's sitting on your desk. You can change the lighting easily in the included software, which I'll cover more in-depth below. The lighting ties into GameSense apps similar to SteelSeries keyboards. Also the non-braided USB cable can be detached from the front of the mouse for easy transport. The SteelSeries Engine software plays a rather large role in the daily life of this mouse, though you can obviously adjust your settings and never open it again if you have it the way you like it. The software is divided into several sections: basic settings, illumination, and Engine Apps. At 121 grams, the Rival 650 offers a nice heft in the hand, and it can be customized by popping off each side and slotting in up to 32 grams (in 4-gram increments) of extra weights. It’s robust, too. We applied some serious pressure to the mouse, but couldn’t feel the slightest flex. Even prying up the main mouse buttons with slightly more than a reasonable amount of force didn’t pop them off.
Our love of the performance is somewhat limited by the hard to reach thumb buttons. While not every game benefits from extra thumb buttons, we often find they can be handy, and the Rival 650’s aren’t. It also features an innovative adjustable weight system, RGB lighting, and is for right-handed gamers only. Let's dive in: The Rival 600 side grips feature a unique silicone compound to allow for increased grip and durability. Crafted and designed to meet the stringent demands of professional players. Powerful 32-bit ARM ProcessorAside from this design quirk, most of the build is commendable. RGB lighting is split into four areas, with eight total zones, as two strips on each side can be configured with three separate colors. The lighting is brilliant as well, both in terms of customization and visibility. My second impression is that the base is wide enough that it seems more suited to people that are palm-grippers as opposed to claw grip aficionados. I prefer a claw grip and the wide base made my fingers flare out just a tad more than I would have liked. It's still comfortable, but just a few millimeters wider than I would have liked. It's a good balance though, and like SteelSeries claimed the design should please both camps, but I think palm-grippers will be happier with this mouse than claw-grippers.
SteelSeries gaming mice are designed for ergonomic, ambidextrous, and right-handed gamers and have customizable weight and balance for every gamer style. The color changing LED feature and programmable buttons make SteelSeries RGB gaming mice a must have PC gaming accessory. Get the mice esports pros useAs someone who likes a really heavy mouse, this writer loves fully loading up the Rival 600 for a steadier shot.
