While the features seem nice, It just can't be used for gaming sessions longer than about an hour, as when the mouse warms up the glue holding the soft pads together very quickly melts and starts leaking out the sides causing hands to become a sticky mess. For something that labels itself as a ‘Gaming mouse’ this is just completely unacceptable, any gaming mouse has to be ready for frequent use and expect hands to become a little warm The ONLY reason that I am giving this 2 stars is because after taking the mouse apart, removing the soft pads, and scrubbing off all of the glue, I have been able to work around this problem.

The SteelSeries Rival 600 ($80) takes the SteelSeries know-how and attempts to deliver even more-refined versions of the G502's best features. The Rival 600 looks beautiful, feels great, provides nearly unparalleled performance and offers some of the slickest customization options on the market.

Beautiful design; Accurate sensor; Pretty illumination; Tunable weights

Weights are a little finicky; A few software quirks

While taking some of the cues from the Rival 500, the Rival 600 is a mouse that will stand on its own, and has the style and features many gamers desire. While angular and aggressively styles, the convex main buttons, the location of the grip pads and side buttons are perfect, and we love the fact...

Last year, SteelSeries reinvented itself with a new range of stylish headsets and a return to form with its iconic gaming mice. This year, we're seeing an evolution of the company's focus on high-performance gaming peripherals at competitive prices.

Exceptionally diffused RGB lighting; Dual sensor system eliminates lift or drift; 32g of optional extra weights

A tad pricier than competitors

There is a ridiculous number of options for gaming mice. Starting at less than $10, it's possible to purchase one that doesn't sport advanced features and components but gets the job done.

Excellent performance; Adjustable weights; Good price; Comfortable; SteelSeries Engine

Not southpaw-friendly

Greetings everyone, today we're going to be covering the Steelseries Rival 600 Mouse. One of the things to note is the new TrueMove 3+, that is basically a dedicated sensor to detect lift off. This

The first Steelseries mouse that absolutely wowed us was the legendary Sensei. It won our mouse of the year after all. There have been a few Steelseries mice since then either adjusting the Sensei formula or being wholly new things, but the Rival range really put them on the map.

How much would you normally spend on a mouse £10 $20 Maybe even £30 if I'd been particularly stung (or should that be bitten) by a dodgy mouse in the past, but it would have to be a really good one for me to consider spending more.

SteelSeries have carved out quite the position within the gaming and eSports market, seemingly offering a device to suit every budget and ability. Their latest gaming mouse, the Rival 600, is under the spotlight today.

+ TrueMove3+ Sensor system is epic; + Looks great; + Bright; clear RGB lighting; + 32g of weight option; + Solid build quality; + Removable cable for easy transport; + 60,000,000 clicks on right and left buttons

The SteelSeries Rival 600 is the latest high-end gaming mouse from within their design studios. And, while I'm not 100% sure about its claim to being the world's first true 1 to 1 esports sensor, I'm more intrigued by the fact that it's made me change my grip from claw to palm.
