Are you one of those who like to experience the remarkable peripherals with their laptops or systems? You must be familiar with the name of Steelseries brand, isn’t it?

When I started reviewing different mouses, honestly I was unaware of this name. One of my close friends has a collection of mouses and one day he asked me to do SteelSeries Rival 600 review.

I also like some really innovative and unique featured peripherals, especially mouses. SteelSeries has launched a fantastic range of products including Rival 600, Rival 650, and lots more. Let’s start with Steelseries Rival 600 review.

SteelSeries Rival 600 Review

In January 2018, Steelseries launched the Rival 600 for those who have been waiting for something remarkable. The Rival 600 has beautiful looks and provides almost unmatchable performance. It offers some of the smoothest customization options on the market.

Design

The SteelSeries Rival 600 looks like the Rival 310 on steroids by all appearances. It is pretty larger than the entry-level gaming mouse of Steelseries. The very first thing that I noticed in the Rival 600 was its stylish looks. With two RGB LED strips grazing down the center of the mouse, two ribbed face buttons, a lighted Steelseries logo on the palm rest and a molded scroll wheel, the Rival 600 is pointed and charming without going over the top.

• Detachable Cable

According to the SteelSeries Rival 600 review, it has a detachable cable, which shows that you will not have to wear the cord out if you have to travel with it.

• DPI Sensitivity Adjuster

Other than that, a (DPI) dots-per-inch sensitivity adjuster located under the scroll wheel along with three thumb buttons. Two of them are horizontal right, where the thumb typically rests and one diagonal in front of those two. Throughout my experience of reviewing different mouses, I have never witnessed such kind of amazing button placement. However, it is not bad; you just need some time to adjust to it.

• Adjustable Weights

The SteelSeries Rival 600 review explains the most amazing feature of this best wireless mouse comes in the form of its adjustable weights. By simply flipping the mouse over and pulling gently, you can detach each side, as all of the sides of the mouse are magnetized. The system is creative that keeps the side panels firmly in place during play sessions, and the layers on the topside are almost hidden.

• Weight With/Without Box

Without the box, the Rival 600 mouse weighs 96g, which is pretty average for a gaming mouse. The SteelSeries Rival 600 review shows that an optional set of extra 4g metal bits is also available in the package. The 4g metal bits weigh an extra 32g overall, and the total weight becomes up to 128g.

• RGB Spectrum Lighting

Another biggest design change in the Rival 600 introduces is magnificent RGB spectrum lighting. Along with eight zones of lighting, you cannot have this mouse series through multiple colors but display a rainbow of shades at the same time. The quality of lighting is so amused, and I am happy to see the RGB excellence on average with that of Razer’s peripherals.

Features

While doing SteelSeries Rival 600 review, I was amazed to see that SteelSeries has introduced the world’s most advanced sensor system, the TrueMove3+. With breakthrough state of the art lift-off distance detection, the new dual sensor system combines true 1 to 1 tracing. For the first time ever, you are completely in control even on lift off.

• Optical Depth Sensor

It includes true depth perception for the world’s most specific and lowest lift-off detection down to 0.5mm. Promote your skill ceiling to the next level with increased accuracy, more control, and faster movement.

• TrueMove 3 Optical Sensor

For all the gaming sensors introduced in the past and the future, TrueMove3 has set the new standards. You will experience an exceptionally accurate, crosshair position for all movements. Without any tracking errors, lag, or acceleration, you can enjoy the TrueMove3 Optical Sensor technology.

• Depth Perception Increases Accuracy

Although plenty of the gaming mouses process lift-off distance from a single key sensor, whereas the SteelSeries Rival 600 deploys state of the art dedicated depth sensor to achieve the world’s lowest and most accurate lift-off distance. While picking up and putting down your unnecessary mouse, movements never happen again.

• Distortion Free True Precision

TrueMove3 is a 12,000 CPI and 350 IPS optical sensor that is built exclusively with PixArt, industry leader. Rather than focusing only on CPI, TrueMove3 was engineered for true 1 to 1 tracking. You will experience distortion-free true precision while moving at a specific distance on a mouse pad that results in the same exact distance on the screen. It would be introducing without latency, interruption, or disturbing jitter decline.

Perfect Weight and Balance

The brand new center of gravity tuning system comprises moveable weights and light to heavy customization, delivering the widest range of regulation of any gaming mouse.

• 96g to 128g Range of Weight

From light to heavyweight adjustments, the removable sides allow you an easy and secure placement of the eight included 4g weights. You can fit in the exact weight that is suitable to you with Steelseries Rival 600.

• 256 Weight and Balance Configurations

For hardcore gamers, the center of gravity can be tuned with customizable weight mixtures for the absolute balance of any grip or gameplay style.

SteelSeries Engine 3 Software

According to the SteelSeries Rival 600 review, button programming and illumination for the usual stuff the SteelSeries Engine 3 software can be considered. With this program, a clean, navigable interface allows you to reprogram any of the mouse’s buttons and make the peripheral light up in a variety of attractive patterns. The DPI, program macros, link profiles with games, and lots of other things can be easily adjustable.

• Button Functions

The button functionalities and profile are uncomplicated, though Steelseries will allow only two DPI modes per profile. Here are two main things; on the one side, it keeps things simple, and players don’t need more than two DPI settings per game anyway. Whereas, on the other hand, it shows that they will definitely need to program profiles for several games instead of just having one jack-of-all-trades profiles with four or five DPI settings. Most of you may not have a strong feeling, while others may consider it more.

Pros

• Remarkably diffused RGB lighting
• Dual sensor system eliminates lift or drift
• 32g of optional extra weight

Cons

• A little bit expensive than competitors

Verdict

Ultimately, the SteelSeries Rival 600 review concludes that it is a fully featured gaming mouse. It is worthy enough to buy Rival 600, as you will never find another mouse with a dual sensor system that completely eradicates cursor drift as well as this peripheral. However, the same goes with extensive weight system of Rival 600, but it will be vital for fans of extra heavy gaming mouses. You should definitely check out the most fantastic mouse ever.
