I love my Steelseries Rival 600 though I can’t find it on their website anymore. Wired mouse with weights to customize the feel. Had it for over 3 years now, no issues. A lot of people *hate* the software though.
Before this one, the longest I’ve gone before needing a replacement mouse was, at most, 2 years and I’ve tried Logitech, Razer, and Corsair mice.
Keep in mind though that the switches are going to fail eventually. You can replace them yourself if you have a soldering iron or try to find a mouse with swappable switches.
I love my MX Master 3, but its more of a work mouse, i have one in the office and its more comfortable if you arent moving around super quick like you do with gaming.
I'd suggest either a Razer Basilisk V3, has a lot of customisability, tactile feedback is beautiful, ticky magnetic scroll like the MX with custom buttons, and is a good weight.
Or Steelseries Rival 600, has eight small weights you can add and remove on each side to perfect the weight, and its very comfortable with good proportions. Smooth all over so no dirt build up, whilst still being grippy.
Both have wireless options, only choose wired. Steelseries wireless mice have a tendency to brick themselves, but for desktop gaming i generally prefer wired anyway.
The Steelseries isnt sold brand new anymore but sure you can get one used. Preloved is just as good :) These are just the ones I use, so updated ones may have improvements.
I used a Steelseries Rival 600 since its launch in 2018 until like a month ago when i bought a Glorious Model I 2. Had no issues just wanted to try something new. Gonna refurb the Rival, already have grips and skates just waiting on switches to arrive.
i feel you on the superlight being small for palm grip. with hands that size look at the [corsair dark core pro](https://featherab.com/shopit?search_keywords=corsair+dark+core+large+hands) or razer basilisk v3 - both are chunky and fill your palm better. also check out the logitech g703 if you want to stay in the logitech ecosystem but need more height. the steelseries rival 600 has a really long shape too. death adder is more for claw so no surprise it felt off.
Big enjoyer of larger heavy mice here. I used the Steelseries rival 600 for 8 years. I absolutely loved it. unfortinetly it broke and lately I have been looking for a new mouse. Everywhere I see people saying to not buy steelseries, razor etc. The market in general when it comes to big brand mice seems quite empty. I could only really find one mouse being the Steelseries Rival 5 that looked good. But I saw some people saying that the paint comes off after longer use.
A lot of people are saying to just Buy chinese mice But honestly I dont really have the time to research and risk it with this type of stuff.
does anyone have any reccomendations for bigger mice?
I was intialy just going to go for the "get what worked" but unfortunetly the rivals 600 does not sell anymore in my country.
Oh yeah I heard a lot about the g502. It is a pretty old mouse so it is honestly suprising that it is holding up so well. I will consider it
Edit: nvm the original g502 released in 2014. The hero version came out in 2018. Still that is 8 years
In 2018 I bought the Rivals 600. It served me for 5 years and i was very satisfied with that mouse. it was the most comfortable mouse I ever had and in generaly felt pretty good to use. At some point the right button stopped working so I had to buy a new one. I decided to buy the Rivals 600 again because I enjoyed it that much. unfortunetly recently I spilled some water on it and fried it.
I have been looking for a new mouse since than and the Steelseries rival 5 caught my attention. I have seen people calling it an improved version of the rivals 600.
Is it still Worth it in 2026 considering that it is 4 years old or should I look for a different mouse?
