The illumination settings window gives you a ton of interesting options for changing the mouse's lighting, as it has eight different zones that can be adjusted individually. The software gives you several presets that include: Steady, ColorShift, Multi Color Breathe, Reactive Key and disabled. You can select any of the lighting zones to have the presets applied, or just one or two. This allows you to make some pretty interesting color combinations as you can have color breathe on the logo, for example, but everything else a different color, or using a different effect. My second impression is that the base is wide enough that it seems more suited to people that are palm-grippers as opposed to claw grip aficionados. I prefer a claw grip and the wide base made my fingers flare out just a tad more than I would have liked. It's still comfortable, but just a few millimeters wider than I would have liked. It's a good balance though, and like SteelSeries claimed the design should please both camps, but I think palm-grippers will be happier with this mouse than claw-grippers. It also features an innovative adjustable weight system, RGB lighting, and is for right-handed gamers only. Let's dive in: SteelSeries gaming mice are designed for ergonomic, ambidextrous, and right-handed gamers and have customizable weight and balance for every gamer style. The color changing LED feature and programmable buttons make SteelSeries RGB gaming mice a must have PC gaming accessory. Get the mice esports pros use

As far as the lighting goes, it looks great when you're just looking at it from across the room, but as you can imagine when you're using the mouse you can't see any of it, so it's one of those features that is nice to have but not something that really adds to the gaming experience at all. The same goes for all the Engine apps too. I'm not sure why or how anyone would use these to get notifications. Though the Rival 600 doesn’t feature much of SteelSeries’ new two-tone look as seen on its earlier mice, there’s more use of soft touch finishes all over the exterior of this peripheral. What’s more, the two sides you’ll be gripping the most are lined with seriously soft pieces of rubber, ensuring a comfortable and firm grip.

BUILT FOR ESPORTS At 121 grams, the Rival 650 offers a nice heft in the hand, and it can be customized by popping off each side and slotting in up to 32 grams (in 4-gram increments) of extra weights. It’s robust, too. We applied some serious pressure to the mouse, but couldn’t feel the slightest flex. Even prying up the main mouse buttons with slightly more than a reasonable amount of force didn’t pop them off. The SteelSeries Engine software plays a rather large role in the daily life of this mouse, though you can obviously adjust your settings and never open it again if you have it the way you like it. The software is divided into several sections: basic settings, illumination, and Engine Apps. Our love of the performance is somewhat limited by the hard to reach thumb buttons. While not every game benefits from extra thumb buttons, we often find they can be handy, and the Rival 650’s aren’t. The mouse features silicon grips and a soft-touch finish. SteelSeries claims the mouse is compatible with both "claw" and "palm" grips, so it should please gamers of both camps. I'm personally a claw-grip gamer, so I paid close attention to whether this shape is satisfactory or not.

As someone who likes a really heavy mouse, this writer loves fully loading up the Rival 600 for a steadier shot. Of course, you’re welcome to add however many you want – up to 256 different combinations that will also change the balance of the mouse. Speaking of the sides, they’re removable on the Rival 600, revealing the extensive customizable weight system. Out of the box, this mouse weighs 96g – that’s fairly average for a gaming mouse. With the optional set of eight extra 4g metal bits (an extra 32g in total), you can bring the total weight up to 128g. Using SteelSeries Engine is simple and intuitive, whether you want to reprogram the thumb buttons or adjust the DPI levels. (You can now program five or more different DPI levels; the previous iteration of Engine capped you at two.) The big draw, however, is that you can set up gorgeous lighting patterns on the Rival 5’s two bright, colorful LED strips. Whether you want a different static color for each game you play, or a pulsating rainbow while you work, having RGB lighting that you can actually see (unlike the palm logo, which your hand usually covers) makes a big difference.

As good as wired, but pricier

Sadly, the detachable side grips don’t do much aside from giving you access to the weight system, and SteelSeries tells us it doesn’t have any plans for different grip shapes or added buttons for the time being. title=More%20Expert%20Tech%20Roundups&type=articles%2Cvideos&tags=tech-roundup&count=6&columnCount=6&theme=article All the settings are very easy to figure out and intelligently organized. It should be noted you can also make adjustments to the three buttons on the left side of the mouse too. The fine-tuning adjustments are a bit much for casual users, but hardcore players will appreciate the powerful tweaking options available. I fiddled with DPI settings, lift-off, and mouse acceleration but left the rest as-is, which proved sufficient for casual play. The mouse has some onboard memory too, so whatever settings you apply are saved to the mouse in case you have to plug it into a foreign computer, which is a nice touch.
