- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2021Style Name: Rival 600 TrueMove 3+ SensorVerified PurchaseDATE OF PURCHASE: March 2018
TL; DR: It's a great mouse. A great design that fits well in the hand, however it suffers from one or two unnecessary feeling shortcuts that keep it from being the last word in mouse peripheral design.
The Steelseries Rival 600 solves one major problem (for me at least) - a mouse that I can actually use with big hands while having my palm resting on the mouse. For many big handed people like myself who also opt to rest the palm of their hands on the mouse while using a PC, most mice on the market (even now after three years of use) are still designed for people to use the claw-grip, due to the smaller size of the mouse, or for people without the issue of large hands. The Rival 600 answers the call for more larger mice, the mice for the big handed. The mice I can actually lay my hands on without causing a first degree burn on my pinkie finger. At some stages this will sound like a love letter to the mouse (it is in some ways), but it will give an idea of just how much I love using this mouse, and why for me, this review is a solemn swan song.
FIRST LOOKS: From the box, it's packaging to the software suite, Steelseries has done a very good job at keeping the experience nice and smooth. The box it came in was nicely packaged and the out of box experience was very good. The build quality was absolutely excellent on first look and use, and I was blown away at how much better it felt in my hands over the previous mouse (being a Logitech G502 HERO), even without the need of a thumb rest. The grips on the side were grippy, the feet on the bottom allowed the mouse to slide nice and cheerfully, and on a large mouse mat, it was a joy to use.
SOFTWARE: The Steelseries Engine 3 software has evolved nicely over the three years since I first got the mouse. The ability to be able to assign F13-F24 keys as native macros to the three macro buttons on the side of the mouse was a huge quality of life improvement that made (I imagine at least) many gamer's lives easier. "No more setting Num Lock as my Push to Talk in games for me! I could use F13!". It's confusing why this approach wasn't adopted earlier by the likes of Steelseries, Logitech etc. (Windows has had native support to recognise F13-F24 all the way since the beginning), but at least it's here. The ability to set two discrete DPI settings based on a click of a button is very welcome (in case you need to use this mouse for multiple applications on the one machine), lift off distance adjustment is nice, the option for Acc./Dec. control, Angle Snapping (for mouse smoothing) and variable polling rate are all available to tweak the mouse to your liking. And I have made full use of all of them for various applications that may not have been the designer's intended use case, but they've let me pull off some "bodging". So that nets good marks in my books.
THE TODAY: Today the mouse core construction is still as strong as ever. The software, still very nice. However some of the long term use I've put to the mouse has unfortunately caused issues. On one aspect, not through the fault of the mouse itself, but in another, an oversight that did let me down. I'll break it down into the two now:
NOT THE MOUSE'S FAULT: The reason why I'm writing this review today. As of today, I've had to make the heartbreaking decision to buy a competitor mouse. I do this every 2-3 years or so, to make sure that I don't get anchored into one eco-system (or in other words, become a "fan boy"). But I *so* badly wanted this mouse to live forever. My extremely heavy use of the mouse has caused the Left Mouse Button to lose alignment with the mechanical sensor, and it has now unfortunately not 100% usable in a comfortable way. I let the mouse down. I doubt that many people would use it more than I do (this was my work AND play mouse, so it saw use for 12+ hours every single day).
ACTUALLY THE MOUSE'S FAULT: The grips. Many reviewers before me have already written about this extensively. The grips are usually the first thing that goes wrong with this mouse, and I can also join the line of people that make note of this. Steelseries really needs to fix their design choice of just simply cementing the grips on to a smooth plastic surface. It has only one little notch in the plastic indent on either side (one side for the plastic injection residue, the other to make room for the adjustable weight compartment), and the rest is smooth as you like plastic. After only a year and a half both the main grips for the left and right sides were gone. The glue had already started deteriorating only a year after I had owned it, and the grips were constantly moving around. This unfortunately has dragged back an otherwise great product from being the last word in mouse design. And it shouldn't have to be - they could be replaced by some interchangeable part that fixes this issue and it would strive to first place, however the tire puncture has left it under threat from competitors. And from what I understand the problem still remains, so there's still work to be done here.
While this mouse has to unfortunately go to e-recycling heaven, it is still worthy of five stars in my book. The fact the grips were the only thing I had an issue with (minus myself probably bricking the LMB on my own), should pay dividends to what a gem this mouse is. This review may be a silly little love letter, but it's the only way I can convey how much I love it. And how sad I am to see it go.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 March 2018Style Name: Rival 600 TrueMove 3+ SensorVerified PurchaseI've tried a few mice lately after my old WMO 1.1 died, and I think the Rival 600 is the best of the bunch. It's very comfortable to palm grip if you have fairly long hands.
My hands are ~20cm x ~10cm (measuring from thumb-side to edge of my palm as per RocketJumpNinja does), so long and fairly narrow. After trying 3 other modern mice, I thought I'd try the Rival 600.
Pros:
+ Dimension-wise, it's a little longer than the G403, which is just what I wanted.
+ Grip-wise, it's very comfortable for me. I'm not sure if there any mice out there that are longer.
+ You don't need drivers (the default DPI switch is 800/1600)
+ It has some extras like customisable weights.
+ The 'hump' (for want of a better term) on the back of the mouse tapers off and is comfortable on the palm. I like the shape better than the G403.
Cons:
- At a _minimum_ weight of 96g, it's quite heavy (I'm coming from a WMO that weighed ~80g). The new finalmouse ultralight is significantly lighter. I would love it if mouse manufacturers tried to reduce the weight and let you add it back.
- Very expensive. This is retailing for between £60-£80, at least £20 more than the G403.
To give you an idea of whether this might be suitable for you, I've tried the following mice in the last 6 months:
* EC1A -- Good length, but too wide for me. The material also makes it hard to grip until you've played for a while and it warms up. Also on the heavy side at 97g. Good mouse, but didn't suit me. Sent it back.
* EC2A -- Too short, width is decent. Again, I don't like the material, I felt like I had to actively grip the mouse when picking it up and it wouldn't stick to my hand until I'd warmed up. Good mouse, but didn't suit me. I used this for a week or two and then sold it.
* Logitech G403 -- Slightly too short, but very good otherwise. I couldn't track as well as I could with my WMO, but it's a solid mouse. Good mouse, but didn't suit me. The hump was a little too bulky and didn't suit my hand, either. Used it for a couple of months and sold it. If your hands are slightly shorter than mine, I think the G403 is a great mouse for palm grip, and you can often get it on offer for £40.
Basically: All of these mice are really good quality and track perfectly. It just comes down to what's going to suit your hand dimensions and grip style. I'd say the EC1-A/EC2-A have the best out-of-the-box experience, as the DPI switch is on the bottom of the mouse, and the lighting changes based on the selection. I.e. you can use it with zero driver setup, and there is no chance of accidentally changing your DPI. G403 is a good all-rounder, and tends to be cheaper when on offer. Rival 600 is the best if you have longer hands.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 July 2023Style Name: Rival 600 TrueMove 3+ SensorVerified PurchaseI've upgraded my gaming setup with the SteelSeries Rival 600 Mouse, and it's safe to say that this mouse has been a game-changer in more ways than one.
Firstly, the Rival 600 boasts a sleek and comfortable design that fits snugly into my hand and the mouse feels robust and well-built, built to withstand long gaming hours and frequent clicks. I've also had it for a while now and it still hasn't shown any signs of wear.
Secondly, I find the programmable buttons on the side to be very useful and easy to reach.
Finally, it also has great customization options for the lighting which can be easily customized through it's software. For me, I matched it to the rest of my gaming setup.
The only bad thing I can say about this mouse is that it is certainly not budget friendly, however in my opinion it was worth the investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars 親指操作する上下ボタンが便利です
Style Name: Rival 5 TrueMove Air SensorVerified Purchase事務作業用途で使っています。
Zoomやブラウザで使うショートカットをマウスで操作したく、初めてゲーミングマウスを買いました。
・一番気に入っているのは、左側面にある上下ボタンです。これがとても使い易いです。
このボタンには、ブラウザの拡大・100%に戻すの2つを設定しています。
・ただ、左側面にある大きなボタンの押し方がよく分かりません。
私は成人男性なのですが、私の持ち方ですと、ボタンが指にかかりません。
押す場合は、握り直して押し、また元に握り直す必要があります。。。
そのため、使用頻度が低いショートカットを割り当てています。
欧米の人は手が大きく親指が届くのでしょうか!?日本人の親指には遠すぎます。
ここだけが残念です。あとは、非常に満足しています。
・マクロですが、マウス設定だけだとうまく機能しないショートカットがあり、
必要に応じてPowerToysと組み合わせて使っています。

C. HuberReviewed in Germany on 12 June 2018
5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr gutes Gesamtpaket!
Style Name: Rival 600 TrueMove 3+ SensorVerified PurchaseIch habe die Maus als Ersatz für meine Roccat Kone XTD gekauft, mit der ich immer sehr zufrieden war. Die Rival 600 überzeugt mich ebenso. In einigen Punkten mehr, in anderen weniger.
Die Beleuchtung ist der Hammer. Ich habe selten eine schönere Maus gesehen. Die Einstellungsmöglichkeiten sind zahlreich und die Software arbeitet tadellos. Wesentlich schneller und übersichtlicher als ich dies von anderen Herstellern gewohnt bin.
Die Verarbeitung ist sehr solide. Das Plastik fühlt sich angenehm weich an und seitlich sind Silikonpads für einen besseren Grip angebracht, die sich ebefalls sehr gut anfühlen, allerdings nicht 100% passgenau eingearbeitet wirken.
Das Handling ist gut. Die Maus liegt allerdings nicht so gut in der Hand wie andere Mäuse. Ich habe mich jetzt nach ein paar Wochen daran gewöhnt. Der Druckpunkt für Doppelklicks ist etwas schwieriger als zb bei einer Logitech G5 oder Roccat Kone, da die Mauswölbung flacher ist und der Druckweg vom Ziege/Mittelfinger zur Maustaste etwas weiter. Die Seitentasten liegen hingegen sehr gut. Ähnlich der Roccat Kone. Toll, dass es sogar noch eine dritte Taste gibt, die man darüber hinaus programmieren kann. Die Seitenteile der Maus sind darüber praktischerweise magnetisch und abnehmbar. In diesen lassen sich bis zu 8 Gewichte verstauen. Ich kann allgemein nicht nachvollziehen warum ich extra Gewicht in eine Maus bauen soll, auch wenn das anscheinend bei allen Highend Mäusen mittlerweile angeboten wird. Die Belastung für mein Handgelenk ist bei stundenlangem Spielen schon groß genug, da brauche ich nicht noch extra Gewicht für ein solideres Gefühl. Ich bin froh wenn eine Maus leicht ist und daran hat man sich auch schnell gewöhnt.
Zur Technik muss nicht viel sagen. Die Maus gleitet wunderbar und arbeitet sehr genau. Ich bin da aber vllt auch nicht der beste Ansprechpartner, da ich mit maximal 5000dpi zocke.
Insgesamt ist die Maus super und ich werde sie auf jeden Fall behalten. Optisch top! Am Design lässt sich vllt noch etwas basteln, damit die Hand etwas besser liegt. Da sind Logitech und Roccat besser. Sie liegt aber besser in der Hand als Razer Mäuse finde ich. Aber das ist wohl subjektiv.
Wie dem auch sei, klare 5 Sterne und Kaufempfehlung!
