Slightly awkward third side button placement for me The 3rd side button is located in front of the side buttons and can be programmed to execute macros, toggle DPI or whatever you wish, the placement of the button is a little awkward though considering how long the mouse is, I didn’t get any use out of it. The 3 side buttons only live on the left side of the mouse, this mouse is made for right handers. The Rival 600 has 6 buttons with 1 dpi switch button that can be mapped to other functions.
Overall, the Steelseries Rival 600 is a performer, combining a great shape, flawless sensors and a reasonably light weight, I haven’t had any issues performing in high twitch games like Overwatch or tracking long distance opponents in games like Fortnite. The rubber cord is light and flexible, thin enough to fit all mouse bungees, I don’t really feel any drag or bunch when playing with this mouse. I’m never going to get better at writing with a mouse It’s hard to tell the impact of the second sensor in real world scenarios, I haven’t had any issues with lift off distance tracking in other top tier mice. It’s a great bonus feature and we applaud Steelseries for trying to innovate in mouse design. The Steelseries Rival 600 actually packs a second sensor that helps the mouse detects the depth of a surface for better lift off distance accuracy. All of this means that this mouse will perform at high DPIs, so if you love high DPIs this mouse might be for you. The mouse packs a Steelseries proprietary TrueMove 3 Optical Gaming Sensor, which is still a Pixart sensor, that performs similarly to the flawless PMW3360, the TrueMove version however has a larger effective DPI range for input, with less jitter. The Rival 600 weighs in at 96 grams without weights, not the lightest mouse available but pretty good for a larger size mouse.
On the bottom of the mouse you’ll find 3 feet, 1 large pad in the front and two in the back, the feet perform well providing smooth glide even on a control Zowie G-SR pad. The Rival 600 shows no obvious rattles or creaks when tapped or shaken, the scroll wheel is firmly place as well showing no rattle. The top of the mouse is coated in a black soft touch material, the mouse feels premium, the coating doesn’t seem to attract fingerprints and feels good in the hand despite some intensely sweaty gaming sessions (damn you summer). The side grips are coated with grippy rubber to assist in mouse pick up, which is required, the Rival 600 sides are slightly curved but not to the extent of some other mice, I’ve noticed have to grip a little hard to pick up the mouse compared to some other mice, but it’s nothing major. This mouse is longer than the G703 with a lower middle hump, with a slightly slimmer width.
