Earlier this year, I took an in-depth look at the SteelSeries Rival 700. That mouse could deliver tactile alerts using its GameSense software. I enjoyed having force feedback in a mouse, but that useful feature was held back by a few gimmicks and a high price tag. I suggested that those wanting to get their hands on mouse-based tactile feedback should check out the cheaper Rival 500. However, I warned that I hadn't tried that mouse out for myself, so I couldn't speak to its quality. I didn't want to let that blind recommendation stand, so I asked SteelSeries if it'd send us a Rival 500 for testing. The company assented, and I'm now back to report on the Rival 500 after some first-hand experience.
