Rival 600 Gaming Mouse review

avatar

Many people want to think that their old $20 "gaming" mouse that they had bought many years ago is still suitable for gaming just because it "works." While they may be correct that it "works," how well is it working? Well, the answer is simple; those types of mice(or mouses, many will debate.) will have many downsides; such as the sensor spinning out, very fragile mouse clicks, or even a very delicate mouse altogether. There are many other issues to come with cheap mice, but those two are the most common. However, when it comes to a professional gaming mouse, what comes to mind? Well, most would think of lights, god-like sensors, crazy ergonomics, and insane durability; in which the Rival 600 Gaming mouse all has... or does it? The Rival 600 is a fantastic mouse when it comes to how well it tracks, all the way from the pixel-perfect movements to those sweet, swift flicks shots. Here are some pros and cons of the Rival 600 Gaming Mouse.

Pros:
-Two sensors, one of the sensors are for tracking(PixArt 3389), and the other sensor is used for depth(lift-off-distance until the standard sensor stops tracking; doesn't have a dedicated name/id).
-The Rival 600 has two plastic pieces that can easily be removed from the sides, in which the weights can be inserted into slots that are provided there, and those weights are tightly held in once the plastic side is snapped back on.
-The mouse is made entirely of completely premium plastic and metal.
-It has three side buttons.

Cons:
-Bad Ergonomics. The Rival 600 is meant for people with larger hands, for two main reasons. It has a big hump in the back of the mouse, making it extremely difficult to grip and press the mouse buttons with small hands. The Rival 600 is terrible for fingertip grippers as well, as the mouse is on the heavier side, along with it being back-heavy, and most fingertip grippers like to hold the middle and the top of the mouse.
-Bad cable. The Rival 600 comes with a regular stock rubber cable, making it grip to your desk or table becoming an inconvenience, and it is easier to break than braided cables. It is possible to remove the cable and replace it, as the mouse's cable is hot-swappable.
-Clicks are a bit tactile, along with a long travel distance after hearing the initial click, but some may like this.
-Costs a total of $80.

Summary: The Rival 600 gaming mouse is a fantastic mouse for people with hand sizes of or above 4.5" in width and 7.5" in height. The Rival 600 has three side buttons for that macro goodness or that gaming edge. I may have made it seem like a terrible mouse by pointing out all of the cons, but I can personally promise you that it isn't a bad mouse. It is a bit pricey; if you have a small budget, I recommend looking around a bit more, if you have a larger budget, the Rival 600 may be the way to go. This mouse fantastic mouse and I know from experience.
