Review on ๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ SteelSeries Rival 710: The Ultimate Gaming Mouse with TrueMove3 Optical Sensor, OLED Display, Tactile Alerts, and RGB Lighting - Black by Sarah Foreman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Inconsistent - PC

The mouse feels good in the hand thanks to its texture and side grips. The software is not bloated. The software is mostly intuitive and highly customizable. Sometimes the software can crash when trying to run the app, but for me the simple solution was to disable the services associated with the app and restart it. The Discord integration is a nice feature, but it could be improved by adding more options for specific notifications and a setting to show those notifications longer. In addition, the display must be narrow and angled so that you can read it. Notifications only do not fully display the first part of the message. The weight of the mouse is a turn off. I bought it with the intention of using the features but I was very disappointed. Tactical feedback is weak at maximum settings, making it a cheap build, especially considering the weight of this mouse. The built-in memory is a bit buggy. For example, if I set button 4 to mouse button 1 and toggle again, my clicks don't register to button 1 or button 4, so I have to open the software to change the settings. This may work for a while but then the problem reoccurs and when I launch the software it shows that some of my bindings have changed even though all my profiles on board are duplicated. So onboard storage and software integration are incompatible at best. For example, holding the switch works fine for me, but repeating while holding doesn't work. At this price I was willing to compromise for a heavy mouse if the feature was worth the price, but unfortunately it's not.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
