Title: Recently keep an eye on Steelseries Rical 600. Any thoughts about it?
Post by: KPrepublic on Fri, 09 February 2018, 02:21:46: Rival 600 launched for a while. I read some reviews about it. To be honest, I was touched when I first know it. But I am not a proper gamer. So I really hesitate to have one.

Would you guys share your thoughts on gaming mice?

Thank you.

the buttons were a bit too heavy for me personally so I sold mine already, but it's a nice mouse for sure.

- sensor: Rival 600 has Depth Perception sensor, well... even if you don't lift your mouse that much, this is a nice addition.
- shape: depends on user, though Rival 600 has a nice shape.
- weight: Rival 600 has good weight and it also can be customized.

a while ago I use Logitech G502, I keep it mainly for its buttons. It's heavy, I must use a hard-mousepad (Logitech G440) to offset that, but my hand still got tired in long session of playing.
I have switched to use Trackball, one with many buttons (Elecom HUGE), for everyday use and when I want to play game, I use Logitech G403.

Wow, thank you.

Thank you. I am not familiar with how the weight of mouse will effect on the performance. I am not a FPS gamer. My Rival 600 has been with me for months. For me it is enough for playing SC. :)

Everyone else is just a toy, buy off the shelf, and flip
