The soft touch back cover does incorporate a white SteelSeries logo, that is RGB-enabled:

A removable nameplate is placed in the back; this one can be changed with our own design, if we do have a 3D printer:

The right side of the mouse does have a dotted design, in order to add some extra grip:

The left side panel does highlight two orange dots; as with the Rival 700, these are intended as a tactile spot, so you will know at all times where to place the thumb in order to access the three programmable buttons; the third button is placed near the OLED display and can be easily programmed with a sniper functionality. Around the buttons we will also find a rubber surface with the same dotted design:

A closer look at the frontal plastic panel on this side does reveal the OLED screen, even when in off state:

The two main buttons are more durable thanks to the new switches, rated for 60 million actuations:

The rubberized scroll wheel is also RGB-enabled and nearby we fill find the last button:

The bottom area of the Rival 710 is familiar to us; here we will be able to spot PTFE feet for smooth gliding, the frontal USB port with the locking mechanism, but also the TrueMove3 sensor module. As we have seen before with the previous models incorporating this particular sensor, it has a CPI range between 100 and 12000 and we can adjust in 100 CPI increments. It does feature a polling rate of 1ms, zero hardware acceleration and a tracking accuracy of 1:1; the modules are interchangeable between 700 and 710 and if we would like to try something else, SteelSeries does also have a Laser 9800 Module available on their website, for 30 Euros:

After carefully removing the four black screws, we can lift the module from the socket:
