steelseries rival 600 reviewa

   Just like with every gaming peripheral in the market today prior to getting a brand new gaming mouse you need to know exactly what PC titles you will use it with (at least primarily). We have mentioned this numerous time in the past so if you're into fast passed games like FPS (first person shooters) a medium-sized mouse with a total of 7-8 buttons tops should do the trick but if you're into MMO games then you may be better off with a model that has many extra buttons. Still buttons is not the only thing that defines a gaming mouse and so the sensor (laser/optical) is really what it all comes down to. In a market however filled with many different sensor models which gaming mouse should you choose? SteelSeries is confident that the answer is their brand new dual-sensor RIVAL 600 which has been on our test bench for roughly a month now.


   SteelSeries has fueled the gaming industry by creating innovative new products, designed specifically for eSports and passionate gamers everywhere. Here at SteelSeries, we are obsessed with “firsts”. Dating back to 2001, our company was formed to meet the surface needs of hardcore gamers by introducing the first glass mousepad, the Icemat. Since that original innovation, we created the first mechanical gaming keyboard, the first suspended headband for gaming headsets, the first World of Warcraft mouse and endless other innovations. SteelSeries is dedicated to building products that push professional gaming further than anyone dreamed. Those innovations make gaming more competitive and more fun for gamers everywhere.


   Unlike other gaming mice the RIVAL 600 by SteelSeries is equipped with two sensors the primary TrueMove3 zero hardware acceleration optical sensor (as expected it was built exclusively with Pixart) that features a resolution of 12.000CPI (counts per inch) with 350+ IPS (inches per second) tracking speed and 50G acceleration and a secondary depth perception sensor which always according to the manufacturer provides the world’s lowest and most accurate lift-off distance. The pros of the RIVAL 600 however don't end there since it also features a total of 7 programmable buttons, reinforced mechanical switches for its primary buttons (up to 60 million clicks), detachable cord, 32-bit ARM processor, 8 zone RGB lighting system with 4 effects and an very innovative gravity/weight system (up to 32g extra with up to 256 available weight and balance configurations). So is the SteelSeries RIVAL 600 the top of the line gaming mouse you've been waiting for?
