I like this better than the rival 650 because when i throw this at the wall it stops

[nordicrain]

Let's just be honest. The only reason he does these mice reviews is to show off his CS GO skills.

"I lift my mouse quite a lot" was this a Flusha joke?

2:59 That RGB on the keyboard in the background looks so DOPE

[dimitrisseferiadis]

Just bought it, (two weeks) after taking into acount, yours and many other reviews. So far very happy with it, it has improved my gaming. Just for the record, before i used the razer mamba tournament edition for 18 months

People dont understand that theres no no.1 mouse in the world. Everyone will prefer different mice because of their shape

[jonaslarsen]

I can recommend this one. I think it will suit a lot of people having hard time finding a mice that fits their weird/hybrid grips. Really great mouse!

[stephenmnrtech]

The design of the mouse is really interesting for me! I like how they changed it up a bit instead of making it too similar to their other rival mice. And also, while I personally don't use lift off distance customization that much on the mice that I have tested, their implementation of having a separate sensor is innovative in my book. Definitely want to try this out and possibly review it too!

Why is a non-braided cable awesome? Makes it lighter?

[LegitMeow]

Thoughtful design but I can't stand the look of it. They had it right with the look of the sensei imo.

I just got a Logitech G703 yesterday, I think it's great IMO. The jump from wired to wireless is SO MUCH greater than I expected.

Never had an issue with my £5 mouse from asda

Just got the Rival 600 today. I have to say, I'm very pleased. In the past, I got a Rival 300. That one had an aweful bug, which made the cursor jump randomly, getting worse and worse over time. As an RMA, I got the awesome Rival 310. Yet, I disliked its rubber side. It felt oily just after a few months, but I got along with it. Unfortunately, it developed a hardware or firmware issue, where the mouse started to do not register actions like clicks or scrolls. But whenever I clicked/scrolled one more time, the click/scroll was registered twice. Like it has been buffered. So I RMAed the Rival 310 and got myself a Rival 600. Now, after my first day of gaming with it I have to say, that I like it very much. It feels solid and very precise. The liftof wasn't such an issue for me, but I anyway tweaked it to be optimal with my hard plastic mousepad (Razer Destructor 2). I also can agree, that it makes a diffrent sound on the mousepad than e.g. the Rival 300 (I still got the broken Rival 300 around since steelseries didn't want it to be sent back). But it could be wear of the teflon pads. Anyway, I'm happy! Good company, good mouse, good design and also a way prettier grip. If I were judging the grip, it would be Rival 600, Rival 300, Rival 310.

For mice I will only believe in Rocket Jump Ninja review.

i use the lift off height adjustment on my corsair m65 pro quite a bit cause I have two spots I sit to game/watch youtube or browse the internet. I dont always have a perfectly smooth surface for the mouse to move on so Ill turn it up or down depending on how much I end up having to lift it. Also being able to add or remove weights is awesome lol I loved that. i had never bad a mouse that did that before i got the m65 so it was like a luxury thing for me.
