SteelSeries Unveils the Rival 5 Versatile Multi-Genre Gaming Mouse
SteelSeries on Tuesday announced the Rival 5, an ambidextrous gaming mouse that its makers label as "versatile" and "multi-genre." Although ambidextrous in shape, its button arrangement favors the right hand. Besides the four buttons on top, five are located along the left side. Combined with software, these are mapped conveniently for not just FPS and MOBA, but also RPGs.
Under the hood, the SteelSeries Rival 5 uses a PixArt-derived TrueMove Air sensor with 18,000 cpi resolution. The polling rate is 1000 Hz or 1 ms. The main buttons are based on Golden Micro IP54 switches that can handle up to 80 million clicks. The mouse comes with 10 zones of lighting, using addressable RGBs capable of 16.8 million colors. Measuring 128.8 mm x 63.35 mm x 28.20 mm (LxWxH), it weighs 85 g. Available now, it is priced at USD $69.99.

That said, the tracking quality isn't as good as competing products at the same price point.
There's also a tier above that called the aerox. TBH though I've tried every top wireless mouse on the market and the Aerox is one of my least favorite. Clicks are way too heavy, same as most steelseries mice.
Oh i forgot i already modify the swith on rival 650 which jas better klik and shorter distance
Unfortunately this is not the only expensive mouse suffering from poor quality melting glue, the internetz are full of reports of similar things...
