SteelSeries are upping their mouse game with the Rival 5

SteelSeries have announced that this July, local PC gamers will be able to up their gaming experience with the Rival 5 mouse, complete with an universal ergonomic shape and 9 programmable buttons.

For any gaming mouse, weight is a big factor and thankfully the Rival 5 is sculpted to be streamlined and lightweight for speed and performance, delivering hours of comfortable, continuous gameplay. The Rival 5 weighs in at a mere 85g, 30% lighter than the competition in the same category (G502). If that wasn’t enough, a Super Mesh Cable allows for quick swipes and rapid movements by utilizing a microfiber mesh that enables less drag and a lighter feel.

SteelSeries are calling this a chameleon mouse, meaning it will work in every situation you can throw at it, even if that work is actual office based work, for example, some of the big features are:

  • Fit – Building on SteelSeries’ history of innovative mouse design, the Rival 5 fits like a glove. Crafted with a universal ergonomic shape, it delivers superb comfort for any hand size and grip style and provides easy access to the intuitive side buttons for lightning-fast decisions in any game.

  • Function – When you switch from Fortnite to Hitman 3 to Apex Legends, this mouse is ready to go. Featuring 9 programmable buttons, each fully customizable for the player’s most important hotkeys, and the 5-button quick action side panel layout features a toggle switch for fast and efficient in-game actions.

  • Fashion – Like a chameleon, players can change their colour scheme to adapt to specific games. Brilliant PrismSync Lighting provides 10 zones of 16.8 million beautifully crisp colours that bring RGB to the next level. The colour schemes can be easily synchronized with other SteelSeries products, and even react to in-game cues.

The mouse will be in stores here this July, with a RRP of $120.
