SteelSeries - Rival 500

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.

steel series rival 500 the side buttons inslde two triggle down, satisfying and 14 buttons

Everybody go pester steelseries to bring back the rival 500. Best mouse ever

SteelSeries rivals, any model. I have a 7 year old rival 500 that is old and tired but still running and a 2-ish year old rival 700 that I’m very happy with.

Steelseries Rival 500… buuuut too bad they discontinued it and replaced it with a Naga clone.

I agree there are 100 mice that are light weight/1/2/0 buttons but everything over 2-3 is a 9+ grid which isn't very useful imo I miss my steel series rival 500 that was a dope mouse.

The [Steelseries Rival 500](https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Rival-15-Button-Programmable-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B01K3DM0WY) was vastly superior with its well thought out button placement around the thumb. A numpad for the thumb is bad UX imo. But it too has been cancelled without a valid replacement

I loved my steel series rival 500 but it was breaking and the closest thing to the button layout I liked was ROG Spartha X

Steel series Rival 500, sadly no longer in production. Looking for recommendations for it's replacement

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.

>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.
