** STEELSERIES RIVAL 700 - STATTRAK TECHNOLOGY **

I guess the million dollar question would be if you were looking for a new mouse would you shell out £79.99 for it knowing how it performs.

I think I would.

Whilst yes you're right it is expensive and I for one totally think that the recent downward trend in mouse pricing has been much needed, the Rival 700, whilst some may see it as gimmicky actually offers additional tech that a normal mouse doesn't offer. Whether you see it's value is another matter entirely.
I'm happy to get my hands on a heavier rival because the rival is the best mouse I've used since the Zowie EC1 first rocked onto the scene.
I'm really liking it so far. Although it is a lot heavier than my previous Sensei. The customisation options are just amazing, so much choice!
My only gripe is that I used to use the other 2 buttons on the right hand side of the Sensei for items on Dota etc, so I'm really missing that at the moment. The 3rd button on the left is good but it's just a little bit too much of a stretch

I have the sensei and the buttons on the right Ive had to disable because of how I hold and move the mouse, I would just click them all the time accidentally. I play cs not dota though, more buttons is probably useful there
I don't think it's out of stock mate. I'm sure they've got plenty left
I've never used either unfortunately mate. It's probably a similar size to an Intelli mouse 3.0
Can you photo Rival 700 and Sensei from top? Thank you
Here you go mate
It's only slightly longer than the Sensei but it's quite a bit higher. You can feel it's bigger and heavier in your hand definitely.

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:
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.
