SteelSeries Rival 5 Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2021-06-11

After trying out the mouse in Outriders, Saints Row: The Third Remastered, CS: GO and Tell Me Why, we did remember the great tracking capabilities of the TrueMove Air sensor, which we did also have the chance to try out on the Aerox 3 Wireless. The mouse sports a grippy black matte finish, while the IP54 mechanical switches are prompt as well. We have got quite a bit of programmable buttons on the left side, BUT we found the frontal grey thumb button to be a bit too far in order to access it with ease.
