SteelSeries - Rival 500

It really was such a good mouse. Lasted like 8 years for me before I went for a Steelseries Rival 500 which was the closest I could find in button configuration. But now that's discontinued too...

Steelseries rival 500. All the buttons were in confidante spots, it was heavy, the tactile motors were great and responsive. The mouse wheel tilt and the thumb buttons with the locks were fast, i could switch profiles based on what program was open and change it based on my needs. I miss that mouse and truly hate steelseries for for not making it anymore.

Rival 500 so good, I really hope they make a new one eventually

If you can find a SteelSeries Rival 500, that would be my suggestion. It's my daily driver still, and is pleasantly wide (just like me). They're not made new anymore, so this might be an eBay/secondary market find though.

SteelSeries rival 500 with its 16 or so buttons. Layout is comfortable and it’s not just buttons slapped on the side. Multiple top middle, thumb groove. Was advertised as moba/mmo and it’s awesome for those games as well as fps games. My gripe is I’ve got 2 both well used and they no longer make or sell them. The new rival 5 is nothing like it and I cannot seem to find anything similar to it when mine both finally die. Edit: to add I think this mouse was one of my top replacements when looking so I ought be joining the lovers of it here. Let’s see how many months/years I have left on my current.

Rog Sparta. Owned mine for over a year and I like it a lot. I needed something to replace my Rival 500, aka the best mouse ever made.

I have tried the mmo mice with 12 buttons on the side and really don't like them. After years going through wow Legendary mice I went rival 500 then it got discontinued. I have finally found a good replacement which is the turtle beach Kone XP air. It is a good mouse and I hope they make one with higher grade of plastic. If you get one, get the white one, better quality.

The king forever: Steelseries Rival 500 mouse. I bought my 2nd one for a pretty penny on ebay but nothing comes close to it. The fucking keypad on most "MMO" mice is fucking stupid. How do you not accidentally press a neighboring key with that mouse?

Steelseries Rival 500 had it for like 8 years but sadly was too worn down and starting to fail, but the ergonomics are so good for mmos because the different shape and position of the buttons makes It easier to remember which skill to use. https://preview.redd.it/8ejzqke1pjve1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7df31c2cccaad88e424d1b9db9bdd77bdb3f09ef

Also it has macros and vibration motor, so you can set it to vibrate like a console controller when a cooldown is over or stuff like that lol.
