For me, the tactile alerts and silky smooth laser are what make this mouse stand out from the crowd, if SteelSeries can get more games into GameSense - enlarging it from the default three (CS:GO, DOTA2 and Minecraft) then they could be onto a winner with...

PriceThe SteelSeries Rival 700 Optical Gaming Mouse is available from almost all major retailers with a price of around £80. We found it in stock at Amazon for £59.99, which isn't cheap, but given the range of features on offer, it's a bit of bargain as y...

Weighs quite a bit, Usefulness of OLED
I cannot ignore that the Rival 700 owns (or PWNS) some firsts. The tactile feedback motor, swapable tracking sensor and an OLED screen are all new to me on a mouse.Does it need these though? Well, the vibrating feedback works remarkably well I have to say...

Abstract: I've used a number of computer mice over the years, from the rudimentary upside-down trackball types of days gone by, to high-tech wireless laser and multitouch mice. They each have had their time in the sun at my desk, but it's time to say goodbye to all...
