Bought this to use with my laptop but also with my iPad Pro as it has Bluetooth connectivity. Weight is heavy, definitely. Even after removing the weights, the mouse is on the heavier side. Not using the mouse for gaming.

The Rival 650 Wireless mouse from SteelSeries is a surefire winner in our books. The Rival 650 is molded with all of the premium features in mind; and the no-compromise execution is certainly beyond par for the course.

Great comfort and ergonomics; Great battery life; Wonderful lighting; Assortment of weights; Great construction; Can use mouse while its charging via cable; Actively support and updated software; Software footprint low; Response rate good for a wireless device

On the whole, though, the SteelSeries Rival 650 is a solid-if-pricey high-end mouse. (Corsair's Dark Core RGB SE has a lower MSRP of $89.99 and often retails closer to $70; the Logitech G903, out a couple of years now, has a $149.99 MSRP, but sells for around $110.

Which is better: a wired gaming mouse, or a wireless gaming mouse? Let's flip that question and ask another: What if you didn't to choose? The SteelSeries Rival 650 is a high-end gaming model that does quick-charging off its USB cable and allows for operation in either mode at all times, no AA batteries required. Capable software, programmable buttons, weight adjustability, and a bit of on-mouse bling make for a solid effort. That said, Logitech's G903 LightSpeed and its PowerPlay wireless charging mat remain our top recommendation for performance-geek gamers who insist on going wireless. It's Nice to Have a Choice So, before I get into the Rival 650 in detail, back to the original question I deflected. For the uninitiated, one mouse may look and feel just like any other, but to gaming enthusiasts, choosing the right gaming mouse can be as important as selecting the right graphics card or gaming display. A highly responsive, shortcut-enabled mouse can give you the edge you need ...

Able to operate wired or wirelessly, and packing removable weights and strong software, the SteelSeries Rival 650 is a highly flexible mouse for power gamers looking for an all-occasions device.

I bought this mouse approx 4-5 months ago and I'm glad I did. Fantastic feel and awesome game play this mouse provides, a little bit overpriced however 100% worth it if you can afford it.

Sporting the same sensor as the Rival 710 which we recently reviewed (Review can be found here: SteelSeries Rival 710 Review ) we're expecting the same great performance in the Rival 650 Wireless.

After living in Canada for most of my life, my definition of "cold" seems to differ from the rest of the world. I would not call anything cold until it hits below -20 degrees Celsius, and we consider -10 degrees Celsius and above to be warm during winter.

The Rival 650 Wireless is a well-designed, comfortable, and accurate mouse. I have no complaints about its performance or design. Even the software is first-rate. And should you balk at its high price, you can quickly justify the cost by comparing it to the spendier Logitech G Pro.

Very nice acquaintance with nice ergonomics for me with big hands, quick response and a weight system that suits me who likes the weight of mice and that it is wireless. Good battery life.
