If not, the default one reads simply "Rival." There's even a small nameplate situated at the rear of the mouse that can be swapped out for a custom one if you happen to have access to a 3D printer. This is pure eye candy and I can't help but enjoy the colorful display on my desk even when I'm not using the Rival for gaming. These LEDs can be programed in a wide range of colors and behaviors. They're a little bit high for me when it comes to quick activation, but they're close enough to my thumb's natural range that it's not uncomfortable to reach for them.īefore plugging it into your computer, the Rival is unassuming in looks, but once it's powered on you'll see a pair of colored LEDs lighting both the scroll wheel and the SteelSeries logo on the body of the mouse.
The only major non-traditional additions to the mouse are a pair buttons on the left side of the mouse that can be reached with your thumb. Between the primary mouse buttons you'll find a familiar notched scroll wheel which, to my disappointment, isn't weighted. The sides of the Rival feature rubberized grips and, along with the matte finish of the top of the mouse, the entire thing has a great grip to it, with no thumb or finger slippage.
Now, rather than the Rival feeling too large for its own good, it feels just right, and my other mice feel undersized and even inadequate. On first touch, the middle and rear of the device feel surprisingly large, but after few hours of usage it becomes clear that the fat-bottom design makes the Rival much more comfortable to hold for long periods of time. The Rival is the latest completely new design from SteelSeries, so it won't feel like anything you've ever used before.
