Broo i remember that I bought CS GO in 2016 and every tech YouTuber was recommending rival 300, so I bought it. I was 13 and it was definitely too big for my small hands. even now I can't imagine playing on such a big mouse

Had a rival 300 (and a 502 as well) and also liked the rival a lot. It was just too heavy. I switched to a cm mm 712 and I really enjoy it. It's way smaller than the Rival 300 tho. What's your hand size and your gripstyle?

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.

Have you looked into Logitech g502 series, or the razor Naga pro, that's about as big as they get. I'm 11cm by 21 , steel series rival is pretty big too that's what I have, it's got an on board chips to store macros right on the mouse. Also try a claw grip, helps alot with big hands.

My very first Steelseries mouse (Rival, over 10 years old) is still working flawlessly, while three new ones have broken since (all with faulty left mouse button). The rubber grip of all four also started dissolving after a few months.... so for me personally Steelseries sadly is no option no more. Logitech has better rubber grips and similar ergonomics but the same problem with faulty switches after \~1 year. For a few years now, I'm using G502 which I have to replace every year.... which sucks but the price is acceptable and I couldn't find anything better yet.

Mentioned it here before: The biggest in game improvement came when I switched from an MX518 to the og Rival (inkl. cheating accusations). I wish SteelSeries would stop producing garbage and revive this shape with decent tech. Chasing this high ever since.

I would never buy a hyperx mouse again. Mine was just crap. I lasted about 3 months before I swapped back to my ss rival.

>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.
