No onboard profiles
The SteelSeries Rival 500 is initially overwhelming due to the number of buttons on the left-hand side. However, give it time and this becomes one of the most formidable gaming mice money can buy. This veritable swiss army knife boasts an incredible 14 buttons, making it ideal for everything from MMOs and MOBAs to shooters, strategy and simulation games. And if you don’t need all of them, a switch on the underside of the Rival 500 disables some of the buttons on the left-hand side, turning them into a comfortable thumb rest. The mouse fits nicely in the hand and is super customizable thanks to the SteelSeries Engine 3 software, which is intuitive and helps you make the most of those buttons and its RGB backlighting.

Premium gaming models almost exclusively use high-grade mechanical key switches and sculpted keycaps, and offer numerous customizable features, like programmable macro keys, textured WASD keys, and swappable keycaps. There are others that let you tweak the color and intensity of the backlighting to make finding certain keys faster and to personalize the look of your keyboard.
