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.
