Bought that absolutely good awful Ikari Optical many moons ago and haven't touched Steel series since.

they have come a long way since then. the Rival series of mice uses much better internals and are built a lot better than the older steel stuff.

in terms of returns, steelseries have the lowest return rate across all peripherals brands at OcUK which is incredible considering they are one of the best sellers too.
 
So

Some Good News
Some Bad News
and some Good News

The good news is that I have a sample on my desk right now and will be putting a full review of it live as soon as I have gamed properly on it.
We also have the competition prize here as well!

The bad news is that Scrumpy_Jack never contacted me to claim the prize so sadly I have had to reroll it. Sorry to have to do that but I think 2 months to claim a prize is more than fair.

The good news is that I have rerolled the random number generator and someone else had a chance to win.

Congratulations to shauncr91

Can you please send me a trust message with your info and I will get your mouse out to you as soon as I can. :)

the feel of the mouse is great. I will be doing a full review by next week

stopped reading there. Casual mouse for casual gamers.

it feels around the same as a deathadder in terms of weight. chug is comparing it to a rival 300, a mouse that is extraordinarily lighter than most other mice in its class.

as I said, I am doing a proper run down on it when I get the chance.

if you have nothing to contribute to the thread other than crap wisecracks then jog on.
 
I did, you got mail my friend :)

the mouse is 135g

5g more than a rival 300.
30g more than a deathadder chroma
45g more than an FK1

It feels heavier than the 300 but is really down to build quality being higher and feeling more substantial.

tough to explain but ill get to it.
 
ah damn, my fault totally.

I should have sent you the new software. its not on general release yet.

apologies for my screw up. will email it to you now.

IMPORTANT

Hi Guys

Sadly I have some bad news this morning, SteelSeries have contacted me to highlight a potential issue with the stock of Rival 700 units.

They have highlighted a problem on a small number of units where the one of the detachable cables is not at the correct angle to be inserted into the mouse.

The mouse will still work but this falls below their quality standards for their products and as such they are removing them from sale.

What to do:

If you haven't purchased a Rival 700 yet then you can do via pre order still. we are expecting a delivery on April 19th that will be units unaffected by this recall.

If you have already purchased a Rival 700 from Overclockers UK then you have the following options:
  1. RMA the mouse for a full refund.
  2. contact us and highlight that you would like a new mouse cable which we will ship to you as soon as we receive them.

I must highlight that the Rival 700 will still work with this USB connector, it may just have a tight fit or feel difficult to remove if your unit is one of the few that is affected. This recall is purely precautionary from SteelSeries.

I would suggest that any customers impacted by this, post here if you are unsure and I will try to offer guidance on how to proceed.
 
no worries.

as I say, if you get it and are impacted by it then just post up here and I will see what I can do.

the customer support team are being made aware of it too
 
Guys, If you have one already, even if you are happy with it, Please contact us and allow us to send you a replacement cable.

Even if it is working ok, I would rather know that we have provided you all with the replacement.
