Easy to use, great customization features, comfortable. Has the ability to bind games and applications to configuration setups. Useful for both gaming and office applications
A braided cable, or swappable cables like the Rival 700, would be a nice addition. Only three games work with Gamesense
There's no doubt the Rival 500 is a great MOBA/MMO gaming mouse with its innovative button layout, but I'd definitely recommend it for day to day office use as well. The button layout feels natural and is easy to pick up, and every button is easily access...

Great optical sensor, High quality workmanship, Vibration impact, for example, timer to cool down, The OLED display looks beautiful, Good customization options in the software,
Relatively heavy, the main soft button that is not customary for gamers in fps, Only for right-handers, Support GameSense is very limited
Both models Rival can be purchased at a price of about 90 Euro, so we have some of the most expensive gaming mice on the market. Of course, the buyer will receive a quality mouse that will last a long time. Also, both mice are equipped with one of the bes...
Excellent quality, Great aesthetics, Pixart 3360 Optical Sensor, Ground breaking design that's perfect for MMORPGs, Engine 3 Software is still the best
Buttons closest to the front of the mouse are hard to reach and there's no tactile bump to distinguish different buttons around the thumb
If you spend most of your gaming time playing MMOs, you really need to check out this mouse...

l this is a fairly good mouse. It has most of the features that you would come to expect from a mouse at this tier level. Adding features like a braided cord and/or a screen for easy profile switching would have made this mouse stand out way above its com...

Overall, in the SteelSeries Rival 500 we're looking at a very comfortable mouse with an excellent sensor and a slew of programmable buttons. Every feature has been implemented well by SteelSeries, from the click-down buttons to the tactile feedback, which...
15 programmable buttons, Side buttons are actually functional, Tactile feedback, Comfortable design, Engine 3 software
Could be too cumbersome for people looking for something more streamlined, Can only quick-switch two different DPI levels
I have been using the Rival 500 for a few weeks now and I have to say SteelSeries implementation of this mouse is done quite well. I do not have the largest hands, but I am still able to use all of the buttons on this mouse. The larger size of the mouse i...
Abstract: Whenever we hear about another MOBA/MMO-specific mouse, we can't help but picture a device that looks like someone grafted a TI-84 to the side of a mouse. But this one is from Dutch company StreelSeries, which pioneered the first MMO gaming mouse in 2008...
Large, comfortable design, Innovative tactile feedback, Sensible software, Novel take on eSports mouse
Steep learning curve, No onboard profiles
The Rival 500 is an atypical take on an eSports gaming mouse, and while it’s most definitely not the mouse for me, I can envision a lot of players for whom it’s just right. It’s got a ton of buttons, but it’s not an MMO mouse; it’s big, but comfortable; i...
We do feel that SteelSeries has provided us with the best mouse of this kind to date. Many have tried in the past, but all those designs were clunky and lacked much thought in the development process. SteelSeries has developed a mouse that is comfortable...
The Rival 500 is fascinating. I can't in good conscience score it highly—I just don't think it's an incredible mouse. The shape is squat and fat, it's heavy, the buttons are spongy when they need a satisfying click and too stiff when they need to be spong...
