THE RIVAL 700

The 135g heavy Rival 700 is a medium sized mouse that measures 124.85mm in length, 68.46mm in width and 41.97mm in height.

Two reviews ago we took the above picture in order to compare the gaming mice we were testing at the time so we thought we'd post it again to have a better idea about the size of the Rival 700.

The Rival 700 has three programmable buttons on the left side along with the OLED screen and a large rubberized area.

At the rear we see the SteelSeries logo (the vibrating motor sits beneath that) which is placed on the removable backplate and is also the 2nd RGB illumination zone.

The DPI selection button is placed right next to the removable backplate.

Most of the right side is rubberized to provide gamers with the best possible grip.

The clickable scroll wheel is not only rubber coated but it's also one of the two RGB illumination zones.

Turning the mouse over we see the detachable cable port, the swappable optical sensor and three large PTFE feet.

The 3D nameplate can be replaced with another if you happen to own a 3D printer.

To remove the backplate you will also need to remove the 3D nameplate first as seen above.

Both bundled cables feature gold plated USB plugs.
