no sustained fire rate because it just doesn't work like that. You can't set the thumb buttons to be your "fire" button in CoD/BF games, it just fires 1 or 2 rounds and that's it. There is a "repeat while pressed" option, but it's a rapid-fire type of repeat, where it click-click-click-click with whatever amount of delay in between that you choose. not going to happen with this mouse, it's just not allowed in the programming.

In other words, that spell or ability you have to "channel" by holding down a button. You can NOT "hold" the button down and actually have it "hold" it in the game. You rebind the thumb buttons to represent key presses, like while playing WoW or GW2. So, unless you have large hands, or freakishly long fingers and thumbs, the buttons near the index finger, and the thumb buttons on the side, are extremely difficult to reach.Ģ) You know how you "drag and drop" a file from one folder to another by holding down the left-click button? You can't do that with ANY non-standard button on this mouse. I'll save you the trouble of reading a long-winded explanation and just get right to it:ġ) It's HUGE! If having small hands is defined by NOT being able to palm a basketball, then I must have small hands. Maybe a single thumb rest button with a stiffer click. Combine B11 and B12 to a single long button (matching B13). Keep B4, B8, B9 and B13 they are perfect. In the future I would like to see a lighter version of this mouse with better grip. Steelseries has developed a wonderfully shaped mouse. Although the top left forward button is a long reach to click. I love the addition of more buttons on the top surface next to the standard mouse1 and mouse2. A much stiffer switch needs to be used below these thumb rest buttons.ģ. The problem is the mechanical leverage the thumb rest shape of the button creates on the switch. When not locked and used as a thumb rest, these buttons are far too easy to accidentally click. I feel like i have to deathgrip the mouse to keep it from slipping when I lift. On this Rival 500, a much heavier mouse with more buttons, the grip material is harder offering less grip when lifting. There is never any slip when lifting the Rival 300 to recenter its position. The Rival 300 is lightweight with sticky rubber grips. I use a lowish sensitivity so I often lift the mouse to recenter. A bit more scroll resistance would be even better.ġ. It's quiet with enough scroll resistance that allows the left, right, and down mousewheel buttons to be used without accidentally scrolling. I really wanted to like this mouse.Īlso, the 3 button mousewheel is better than most. The slope on the right side of the mouse doesn't cause pain in my small finger with extended use like many other mice with sharp edges or tight radius curves. I have medium sized hands and grip the mouse with what I call a hybrid palm/claw. Perhaps for the next series.įirst, I need to say the shape of this mouse is perfect for me. Nice little feature there, although it wouldn't be a bad idea to have the mouse vibrate as a controller.

The second point I love from this mouse vibration you can put after pressing each button to know for sure you press it lol. I'm 5'6 so my hands are not huge but not small, but I'm still able to press all buttons without issues nor stress. I see a lot of people complaining that is too "Big" or too "heavy" for me its perfect and it has this one spot you can press and hold to drag without clicking on the other buttons by accident. Being able to just press and cast some major CD is amazing and easy. With that being said this mouse has work wonders for me. I primarily use this mouse for WoW as many of you know, there are many spells and sadly I can only reach up to 5 in the keyboard, having to keybind them to shift is useful but still not enough. It is amazing and has been helpful in all my games. I never write reviews for any product but I have to do it for this mouse.
