![]() ![]() I also appreciated it had a removable USB cable, but you'll have to buy a braided one if that sort of thing's your bag as it only comes with a regular 2m rubber one in the box. Its dual optical sensors also felt lovely and responsive during day-to-day use, and its silicon compound side grips felt nice and comfy under my fingers. Still, at least the Rival 600 gives you that flexibility and freedom to get your mouse weight just right, as well as the chance to make it more top-heavy, one-sided or put all the extra weight at the rear to suit your weirdly specific mouse requirements. It's not like it suddenly became a lead weight in my hand or anything, but I could see my hand getting quite tired if I kept using it like that for prolonged periods of time. Indeed, adding half of its weights (two either side) certainly gave it a bit more heft, but at 112g, this was just on the verge of it feeling too heavy for my tastes, and using all of them together to take it up to 128g only made it feel worse. ![]() In this sense, the Rival 600 feels slightly wasted on someone like me, as I just don't feel the need to make use of its main feature. Personally, I generally prefer lighter mice because of my tiny girl hands, and I actually got on perfectly well with the Rival 600 in its default, weight-less state of 96g. The weights come in a handy little rubber case for easy transportation, and attaching them is as easy as pulling off the Rival 600's magnetic sides and pressing them into the little moulds beneath. If you've ever felt like your mouse was too heavy (like the monstrous Corsair Scimitar Pro), too light (a la Steelseries' own Rival 110), or just not quite right for your liking, the Steelseries Rival 600 has a remedy - and that's eight little 4g weights you can slot into each side of the mouse, giving you as many as 256 different weight and balance configurations. Indeed, if you thought shelling out £70 for the Asus ROG Gladius II was a bit steep, then the £80 / $75 Steelseries Rival 600 has an even greater mountain to climb before it starts looking even vaguely palatable.įortunately, there is method to its slightly mad pricing. How much would you normally spend on a mouse? £10? $20? Maybe even £30 if I'd been particularly stung (or should that be bitten?) by a dodgy mouse in the past, but it would have to be a really good one - possibly even the bestest best out there - for me to consider spending more. ![]()
