Gamers looking for a unique mouse for their computer can enjoy using the Rival 700 model launched by the leader and innovator in gaming peripherals, SteelSeries. The manufacturer claims that this is the first modular gaming mouse in the world with real-time tactile alerts and OLED display.
LegitReviews reports that the Rival 700 modular gaming mouse is available for $99.99 to customers in North America exclusively at SteelSeries.com, starting Tuesday, May 24. Gamers can head into battle with a mouse that provides in-game alerts to increase gaming immersion and enhance performance.
Rival 700 can adapt to any personal preferences. According to Digital Trends, users can customize the mouse with a number of different configurations, thanks to its overall design. It is even possible to swap the actual mouse sensor for the latest sensor on the market or their preferred model. The SteelSeries Engine 3 software provides various Tactile Alerts system patterns.
The new Rival 700 comes packed with a PixArt PMW3360 optical sensor with an acceleration of 50g, a sensitivity of 100 to 16,000 CPI (Counts Per Inch) and a polling rate of 1 millisecond (1,000HZ). By using the built-in OLED display, the sensor's sensitivity can be changed directly on the mouse. The display also allows the user to view key binds, change the lift-off distance and change profiles without having to load up software.
The gaming peripherals manufacturer SteelSeries explains that this OLED panel can also be used to display custom animations and logos and to track game stats like gun accuracy and headshot counts. The company offers a number of downloadable GIFs for free, including a unicorn, a shooting gun, a rotating face, a level-up icon and several more. These GIFs are provided by both the company and the community, so users can expect more to be uploaded in the near future to the SteelSeries website.
The modular gaming mouse from SteelSeries is built for right-handed gamers. The OLED screen joins two thumb buttons, and it is mounted on the left side. Overall, there are seven buttons. The main left and right buttons feature a special reinforced plastic in order to evenly distribute the force of each click. SteelSeries promises up to 30 million clicks per button.
For the modular Rival 700, SteelSeries provides extra parts that can be purchased in order to customize the mouse. For example, the top cover can be replaced with covers featuring various designs and materials, and the nameplates can be switched, too.
Overall, the mouse weighs 0.3 pounds and measures 4.92 x 2.70 x 1.65 inches. The peripheral comes with two cables that plug directly into the mouse. The soft rubber cable provides a length of 3.28 feet and the braided cable provides 6.5 feet in length.
