Steelseries rival 5. Normal grid MMO mouse is too hard to push all buttons
r/MMORPG • What is your favourite MMO Mouse? ->I’ve got a rival 5, I like it a lot The extra buttons by the thumb are nice, but I don’t need an “mmo” mouse with a dozen buttons or something.
r/pcmasterrace • I analyzed the 25 most recommended gaming mice on Reddit ->I love my rival 5
r/pcmasterrace • I analyzed the 25 most recommended gaming mice on Reddit ->My Rival 5 had issues with its scrollwheel which apparently was pretty common, fixing it required to take the entire scroll mechanism apart and bending a plate into place. I ended up replacing it with a Logitech G305 wireless and thats been much better imo
r/pcmasterrace • I analyzed the 25 most recommended gaming mice on Reddit ->most are going to say naga, but I use the steel series rival 5. It works well for me since I play FPS games also. The side buttons 4 or so gets the job done on keybinds that I need
r/MMORPG • Gaming Mouse recommendations for MMOs? ->When I read your post, I thought I typed it myself! The exact same thing happened to me, it's always an issue with the scroll wheel. Also my AW510K keyboard sometimes types double letters. I gave up on Dell accessories and switched to a SeelSeries Rival 5 mouse and APEX 7 TKL keyboard and 0 issues for 8 months now. I would've loved for Alienware accessories to work and last as I love the Alienware brand and not having to install a separate utility for the accessories but it is what it is.
r/Alienware • Is there an Alienware Gaming Mouse that lasts? ->i've used the g502 hero (eventually had right click issues), razer deathstalker adder (didn't like), razer taipan (i'm not ampidextrous but still comfortable), steelseries rival 5( had excess buttons I never used outside of for 1 or 2 games) right now im completely content with the steelseries rival 3, im right handed, have long fingers, mouse is a decent size, tad lighter then I would like but still comfy, and got it for $20 at walmart
r/pcmasterrace • I analyzed the 25 most recommended gaming mice on Reddit ->I've been using a 50ish dollar Logitech for over a year now and I have no complaints. Uses a single AA battery that I replace like every 6 months or something. It's a gaming mouse, has a bunch of buttons and dpi settings. Works great. Before that, I owned a steelseries rival series that cost over a hundred dollars. The only thing I liked better about it was that it was heavier and had weighted plates in it. But it was wired and I got tired of it as well.
r/buildapc • I'm looking for a gaming mouse under 100$ ->>I keep breaking my Logitech G703 mice How are they breaking? That might be a good place to start, choosing something that is 'stronger' in the area they are breaking. I'm a bit surprised, as I have worn-through several mice (I'm a software developer and gamer, and use a mouse for hours every day for decades), but I have never had a mouse break, just worn out to the point that the finishes wear through or the clicker/scroll becomes intermittent. I have personally been happy with the SteelSeries Rival mouse I have been using for the last 7 years. I liked the Steelseries Sensei before that, but any soft-touch finish is not BIFL.
