I wish I'd never bought a Logitech mouse

Whatever you do... don' get steelseries, if the poor QC doesn't get you, the horrible customer service definitely will lol. I picked up their Rival 650, it was a major flop and had it not been for amazon, I would have been dealing with them until now.

friend sent me this and asked me for suggestions...he has 17 x 8.5 hands and plays val a lot....he's on a tight budget...suggestions?

Steelseries Rival 3, the QC is a lot more reliable than the Viper Mini's.

Also the G203/102 lightsync sucks ass, don't buy that.

SteelSeries Rival 650

The SteelSeries Rival 650 Wireless is a decent gaming mouse. It's the first wireless mouse in SteelSeries' lineup, and it's nearly identical to the wired SteelSeries Rival 600.

Used to claw a Steelseries Rival 300 for the longest time, switched this january and couldn't be happier. Low weight really does make a big difference.

Peripherals are highly subjective and as such it makes it difficult to write a review on one, however there are a couple key issues that are a dealbreaker for me. I find it incredibly difficult to find a mouse that possess all the traits that I look for. I'm a high sensitivity claw user with big han...

/r/MouseReview Questions & Purchase Advice

**Budget:** \~$100 but flexible, can be lower or higher. **Hand Size:** Cant find a ruler but for reference I have a steelseries rival 600 and find it a bit small while I like my Master MX2 size but not weight. **Grip:** Palm, sometimes claw since my current mouse is quite small. **Connectivity:** Wireless (I know its a bit much to ask but looking for something that has great battery life, dont care about RGB and will turn it off if the mouse has).

High quality but disappointing

First, I need to start with the quality: It's good. The mouse itself feels good on my hand. I like its weight system which involves 8 different weights (4 on each side of the mouse). I prefer my mice heavy so this really worked well. I could imagine that this would work well for people who like ligh...

Corsair Scimitar Elite RGB inside Razer Naga 2012.

Another issue is similar to my problem with console controllers i tend to death grip things when the action picks up which leads to premature failure of buttons, one of the reason i don't use my Scimitar anymore. Currently im sporting a Steel series Rival 650 which was the largest mouse i could find and actually test before buying. but even that is fairly narrow causes some aches after prolonged use because of this.
