SteelSeries has recently refreshed its flagship series, 700 with a new model, the Rival 710; the main differences between it and the older Rival 700 is the inclusion of the TrueMove3 Custom sensor and refreshed SteelSeries mechanical switches for better durability. A soft touch black back cover was also introduced by default, different from the anti-sweat finish one present with the Rival 700. SteelSeries did choose a different one because the soft touch was their best-buy model as an accessory, but if you feel otherwise, you can always choose one of the other available covers from the website (multiple colors and finishes). The product is shipped inside a signature SteelSeries packaging, that display the mouse in operation on the frontal layer, along with some of the main highlights:
