SteelSeries Rival 5 review: A feature-rich gaming mouse without the high cost

The SteelSeries Rival 5 gaming mouse on a table.

When it comes to competitive PC games, different genres call for different setups. What’s best for a fast-paced first-person shooter may not be ideal for a MOBA with a myriad of actions to keep track of. To address this quandary, SteelSeries has introduced its new Rival 5 gaming mouse, which it describes as a “chameleon” that can adapt to anything.

The Rival 5 delivers on that design philosophy with nine programmable buttons, including five quick-action buttons on its left side panel. Combine that with a lightweight design, a solid 18,000 DPI sensor, and some flashy RGB lights, and we’re talking about a feature-rich wired mouse at an impressive $60 price point, making it competitive with some of the best gaming mice. The valiant all-in-one approach isn’t without its share of quirks, though.

While there's a noticeable difference between each console in terms of specs and performance, each are the least expensive options from Sony and Microsoft -- meaning potential buyers will likely want to grab them first, assuming they can find them across retailers. When spending lots of money on a new device -- whether it's a console or other piece of technology -- it's important to know which one suits your needs the best.
