SteelSeries - Rival 500

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.

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

I was a long time g604 user, switched to SS Rival 500 which was amazing but also then discontinued. I am now using logi g502 SE and its the best that I could find for that task

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

Steelseries rival 500. Extra buttons make this one a no brainer for a lot of games

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

My husband and I also loved them. We went thru 2 each before they were discontinued and replaced it with the silver wireless version. Never had that one but my dad did and he loved it. I’ve been using the Steelseries Rival 500 for years and unfortunately, they discontinued that as well. I have a backup NIB I paid like $250 for on eBay maybe 1.5-2years ago. I truly hate the 12 button thumb jungle that everyone seems to make. :(

I wish I could recommend the Steelseries Rival 500, but they also discontinued that. And they replaced it with a Naga clone. So stupid and frustrating. I will be watching these comments for other recommendations as well. Thankfully, I have a rival 500 backup NIB that should get me quite a few more years before I have to make the swap. :(

Another vote for the Cataclysm mouse. My husband and I went thru 4 or 5 between us and they lasted forever. Steelseries second best mouse was the Rival 500 which they stupidly retired as well. It is what I am currently using and I have a new in box one waiting for whenever this one craps out. I wish Steelseries kept the unique MMO layouts as it set them apart from all the other company’s that use the 12 button thumb jungle like the Razer Naga…
