To answer a common question, the weight without the sides: 89g without right side, 89g without left side, 80g without both. Also here's my affiliate link for ordering directly from SteelSeries: steelseries.7eer.net/c/223206/207058/2390 And for the usual "omg he liked a mouse and said where it can be purchased, he's a sell out!" claims... I could do that with any mouse, there's no reason for me to choose this over the others on that basis alone. You'll notice this video is 11 minutes long. I put a lot more time into this video BECAUSE it's a great mouse and capable of taking that #1 spot (for now). If it wasn't so good I wouldn't have wasted my time on it. Genuinely love this mouse. I hope others do too.

#1 reviewer in my opinion.

Whenever I buy a mouse, I’m like, “hmmm... lemme check rocket jump ninja’s review.” If he gives it a bad review, I won’t buy it.

Listen if you have a mouse like, the g403, The death adder, Zowie Fk1, or even a rival 300, please stop complaing about how you were late, those mice are godlike and are well worth your moneys, if this video never was made, none of you would be saying that, and yall missing the point of his videos, its nt about whats the perfect mouse. its about the mouse that suits you the best

4:40 you can hold the dpi button to recalibrate it for your new surface.

I'm also really exited about the new Rival 600. I have been waiting so long for a mice that feel this comfortable. I already feel like my gaming performance has improved since i bought it.

Bought that mouse yesterday because of your amazing review! Thank you for making these kinds of videos because they are very helpful to me and rest of the people too :) + Disabled ads because I wanted to support you.

Just picked up this mouse today after watching a bunch of your videos. Thanks for making such incredibly detailed and informative reviews.

just found your channel, really like it. have been playing arena fps and fps for a long time and it's amazing that there is a guy reviewing hardware who also understands what some people really want in their reviews. thank you

I purchased this due to your reviews. My hand being 19.5 x 10 this mouse is perfect definitely worth the upgrade from my Razer mamba from 2012-2013

Thanks for your honest review man. I used your link to upgrade to this mouse from G502. Honestly it's thanks to you that I even know what my hand size is and which mice I should be even looking at.

It's great to see steelseries getting back in the spotlight. You never hear much about steelseries anymore when it comes to mice. I quite enjoyed the video and your videos helped me choose my Logitech G403.

Thanks for the video Zy. I already bought my g900 ages ago but I still come to your channel since it is just SO entertaining. Keep up the good work!

Bought it for 90e and let me say it was worth the money. Thanks RJN for the video again :)

you're such a high quality reviewer bro, ill try to get money for it as soon as i can. i currently use the g203 and i saw this mouse fits perfectly with my hand

Love your channel. Not others are like yours nowadays. Quick and straight to the point

The review is great, amazing as always but this mouse has some long term reliability issues. I have owned this mouse since August 2018 for your knowledge. Issues: Double click or no click problem that requires a restart to fix once. (When the glitch occures it will either double click when you click or it will not) The glue on the pads is really sticky but literally melts at body temperature so i recommend immediately taking off the pads when you get mouse and stick them back with super glue. TL;DR: I like the mouse but make sure you are prepared when you buy it.

If the sides are removable, then they can just release flatter sides for different grip styles.

i got a good mouse and still tune in to your videos as they are so well done. happy new year, mate!

Im still rocking the G502 and don't want nothing else for now, great review like always!

First off, I would like to thank you RJN for your reviews and advice for mice over the years. Thanks to you, I believe I've found the mouse that fits me perfectly with the Rival 600. My hand size is 20 x 10.3 cm, and the Rival 600 feels amazing with palm grip, especially with the silicone grips and soft coating. I've owned the G703, Rival 310, and EC-2A, and the Rival 600 for me is the most comfortable. I encourage anyone if you are not fully satisfied with your current driver, and have the funds, to try the Rival 600. It could be the "one."

SteelSeries has nailed it again. Dammit SteelSeries! I just got my G502! Well I hope to try this out in the future. Also I want to comment on this review. This is one of the best reviews that you have done. You already do reviews so in-depth, but this was very, very in-depth. You truely are the best tech reviewer :D

Perfect review, especially on the malfunction speed test -- which is extremely important for me as a CS:GO player with low sensitivity.

I've watched so many of RJN's reviews and even decided on my final purchase (G403 of course) partly because of his review. The consistent quality of his reviews should make it obvious that he's not selling out to SteelSeries even if he's an affiliate of theirs. This is pure, unbiased review at its finest.

to be honest I want Zowie (BenQ) to upgrade every technical thing in the Fk series /Za series /Ec series like sensors and stuff then each series will suit everyone perfectly

They should totally release a flatter edged version of the right side of the mouse to make it more of an ambidextrous shape, and possibly making it lighter. It maight even be better for claw and fingertip then for some. Anyway, great review Zy.

Just bought the Rival 600 yesterday. I would have to agree that it's an awesome mouse!!

I just got this mouse because of your reviews. I absolutely love it!

Just went out and purchased this today and I gotta say that I am actually loving it so far. Everything feels super responsive and the mouse just feels really good to use. I can't really think of anything bad to say about it right now.

sexy mouse, sexier voice. As always, thanks Zy. Been a fan for years and I am proud to always recommend your channel to my friends

i was so excited when i got an email that steel series was going to be announcing a new product soon. even more excited that my go to mouse guy, zy has a review up already ! i generally like medium sized mice, but i might have to pick this up just for fun. currently using the smaller sensei 310 (which i love, my accuracy has increased noticeably switching from larger, deathadders for years.. still love DAs though).

I've been watching your videos since 2015, and wtf, I wasn't subscribed yet! My bad! My apologies. I have however, sent innumerable friends to your channel for reviews :D Love you man! keep it up!

Still rocking my EC-2A. Tried the fk2 and it's a bit too small for me. I have wide palms. This looks interesting. Maybe when my ec2a is dead I'll have a look at this. Got the ec2a because of this channel. Mouse rocks.

Literally the most comfortable mouse I’ve put my hand on. High quality as well. Nice job SteelSeries. The RGB lights are just as good if not better than the Cougar Revenger and the contoured switchers are a bonus. I’ve also found that if you want to have a braided cable you can use a 2.0 to micro USB cable, I’m using an Red ANKER Powerline+ and it works perfectly. However that one does add a little extra weight but it looks awesome.

Thank you for review :D i get rival 600 today. They dont sell it in Czech yet, so I have it form Steelseries from Denmark. To be honset, for very long time, best mouse ive ever had was Steelseries Kana v2, but Rival 600 is supreme to everymouse ive ever had. Doesnt matter that its bigger than my usuall mouses (Razer Diamondback, Kana V2, Asus Cerberus mice), Its most comfort mouse ive ever had. Thank you!

Finally decided to order mine! So excited!

ZYYYYYYYY another great review. Thanks.

I really like the feel of the rival 600 using it upside down if you can imagine the sensor in the back any suggestions?

Really DOPE reviewy man.GL in the future

Best reviewer ever! Thanks for reviewing the FK2, everything you said on that video was legit. Its now my favourite mouse overtaking the Razer Abyssus and steelseries sensei pro in my list. Thanks!

Just ordered one to replace my rival 300 as the sensor just started to kinda stop working for a split second occasionally. From my experience with all sorts of different brands, when it comes to build quality Steelseries and Logitech are by far the best, razer by far the worst.

Hey, when you get the chance, please review the new Rival 650

i was debating what mouse i should get for awhile then this video comes out and this mouse is your new #1, feelsgoodman i know what im getting

ordered mine today. amazing review as always

I had this mouse for a few months before the rubber grips actually completely slipped off, great product, other than the fact that my hands were stuck to my mouse mid game and I had to buy a new one.

Ended up returning mine - glue started to fail in about a month and a half, the mouse got pretty gross. Great mouse up until my fingers started to stick to things after using it from the grip sliding around. Felt great when new, lightweight, but they did not use a durable adhesive to attach the grip to the sides (or the glue was defective that they used on my mouse)... +1 that the mouse feels pretty cool without the sides.

Another great review with a brand new kickass mouse. Ty sir!!

Ok, good! At least you didn't make me feel bad because I just bought the Rival 310 a few weeks ago, still the Rival 600 is a good mouse, but I don't think I'll be switching, also, if you have another mouse that is good, don't feel bad, the Rival 600 is a new mouse, it might have a few issues and it is heavy without the sides.Still, the mouse is really amazing and Steel Series have done a great job with it, and your videos are amazing as usual!

THIS DUDE IS VERY SMOOTH AT TALKING LOL HE MAKES U FEEL EVERYTHING IS GREAT LOL

Ye im using Logitech B110 which has plastic all over it so a bit sweat gives a good hold xd

One thing I noticed with using the Rival 600 for a few months, is that it can rock backwards causing some minor tracking issues if you are using a palm grip while pushing the mouse into the mousepad, but adding weights in the front will help with it. Along with my opinion it's a great mouse.

Bought this mouse today, and I already love it!

I get a buzz when u upload.

I usually don't like steelseries for mice and I prefer logitech, but this is a game changer

your videos are amazing. I was on the fence about the 650, this sold it for me. I wish you had some links for Canada so I could support you!

Your reviews are the best Zy :)

Hey Zy, are you going to be reviewing the Rival 650 Wireless version of this!? :)

have you ever tried a paracord before

As always good quality vod. sounds bitty mini advert but hey :D Hope more companies gonna send you stuff to overall review. I really enjoyed review of cougar with speed switches? i was so impressed to even buy one :D

You have given me more advice then my parents did when I was a child. Thank you.

The design is cool but I’m worried about the grip of the mouse and the weight also the lift of distance(that’s why I like Zowie because I’m an aggressive player so flickin is common) btw I kinda don’t understand what “lift of distance “ is and how the hard disk test works ?.? “hard disk test works” messed up my tongue there lmao

Hi what do you think of the rival 650?

thank you bro best mouse ever! i switched from G403 took me a day to like it. WOW DAY AND NIGHT

Recently bought the mouse with your code love it :)

Rocket, your videos are some of the most informative on the web but there is one thing: you intone every sentence exactly the same way like an old speach engine or sth :) Frankly, it's the only bad thing in your videos that comes to my mind but it is a little bit distracting.

Please review the Ducky Channel SECRET M, btw great video!

this mouse is great Ive been using it for 3 years its super durable. I really like that you can purchase the side panels from the site to even further expand the mouses lifespan. Only after 3 years did I just now have to replace the side panels, good as new.

i had the g500 in 2012 then bought the g502 in 2013 both are very comfortable and good i liked them alot i recommend them for everyone but thought about a change so i was confused between the g403 and the razer deathadder. after i watched this video ive immediately ordered the rival 600 lol . your vids are so helpfull man thank you

If this had a tilt scroll I’d get it :(

Those gaps really bother my eyes. I wish they could make it look cleaner.

Very soothing, nice music in the background there.

Good review. I got a rival 600 after watching this video and finding out if the dimensions of the mouse would fit with my enormous hand and finger tip grip style (and preference for hard pads). Now that I've had it for a while, I aim really well with it, better than any other mouse aside from a g502. The right side is a bit of an issue as you've said though, I sometimes have to readjust my grip mid-game. I also wish it was a little lighter. Maybe I'll check out the Finalmouse Ultralight in time.

He sounds like 16 but plays this game since 1998 lmao

Honestly after using my g403 for a few months I can't go back to a wired mouse

Thanks to you. I have bought most of the mice you recommended and now I don't have place to put them. They are all perfect :D

Wasn't intereted in this mouse at all but I watch all your videos anyway since you talk about other mice in them and I learn something new or get reminded to something intersting each time. Your reviews are top notch, I call them "reference material". I would really love to see a review of two top MMO mice from Logitech that I like a lot though: the G600 and G602. Oldies but Logitech keeps making them so that’s got to mean something. I ditched my Scimitar in favor of them and never liked the Naga. I do have a bunch of mice: G Pro, G303, G502, G600, G602, G603, G703, G903, MX Master 2s, MX Anywhere 2S and MX Ergo. Have owned many other Logitech and MS mice over the years, tried Steelseries and a bunch of Razers but sold them all off as they didn't compete with the Logitechs I had IMO. I had 3 Corsair mice the past 18 months or so but decided to let them go in favor of 2 Zowies after watching most of your reviews. On a side note: anyone intereted in the new Corsair K63 Wireless? I ordered one straight away for my "Couchmaster" couch setup. Not interested in the lapboard though. Yep, a bit of a keyboard freak as well. At the moment I use a K95 Platinum MXBrown, G Pro, G810, K830 and Topre Realforce RGB. Waiting for the K63 Wireless MXRed and an UHK MXClear. Anyway, end rant. I just love trying out all this wondeful gear and really appreciate your reviews!

i want this mouse but everybody is having issues with the Adhesives then im thinking it a lot

Zy please answer ec2a or steel series rival 310. I have been playing Quake live and my mamba's grip is worn out and keeps slipping out of my hands when I rocket 🚀 jumps this would help if you answer my question

Great video, thanks for the review and showing this mouse! :)

finally a video where u talk about the grip on the right side of the mouse!!!!!!!!!!

I just got my 310 why!

I just got the g403 dang it

Just got this one for 10 dollar sold as for spare parts because the cable was broken. Replaced it with a new one and works like a charm !

Great review, you’ve convinced me to buy this mouse, I’ll definitely be using your affiliate.

This mouse looks great Rocket ninja: its a bad mouse Nvm

My most expensive mouse to date and it fell apart after 6 months... Dont buy

Thanks RJ , you made me buy this mice

I just ordered one. Thanks for the review. I’ll come back in a few days and let all know what I think, if anyone cares. :)

STEELSERIES PLS STOP MAKING NEW MICE EVERY MONTH

To bad it weighs as much as a bowl of oatmeal

I just ordered this thanks to you, Hope it's as good as it what you mentioned!

If posible at anytime would like to see a review from you of the Plugable Performance Mouse,also thanks for all your reviews are to me very helpful.

The design is so ugly...

The g403 wireless turned out to be my perfect mouse after my EC1-A stopped tracking. I’ve used it for about a week now with some 12hr gaming sessions and I’ve never aimed better. I’m landing shots i never knew I could. Since I’ve been playing csgo for 4 years now I’ve gotten better every day with play time and good hardware. The G403 is amazing, comfortable and wireless! So happy I bought this instead of dropping $70 on an EC2-B (if Zowie put an actual scroll wheel, have a rubberized/glossy white coating options to choose while purchasing, AND go back to the EC1-A mouse feet then I’ll go back) For now this mouse is a winner and I couldn’t be happier with it.

FUCK YEAH! 2 weeks planning what to buy either fk2 ec2b or g403 im glad i subscribed zy. Thanks bro now im going to buy this rival600 hope i will get a good copy

just bought it and i found it amazing !

Mine comes in today so excited

been using the Rival 100 for about a year and for its price its honestly a steal buy i have very long fingers compared to my palm and the 100 just feels a bit to small since I'm more comfortable palm griping and my ring finger keeps dragging so this looks like a really nice upgrade.

just bought this mouse switching from the g502 and this mouse feels so much better for me. on the g502 i was using a fingertip grip but i can comfortably palm this mouse and movements feel so natural. the buttons click so nicely too. i thought i wasnt going to like it at first but after switching to a palm grip movement in games feels so much nicer.

Just got this mouse as a sidegrade to my g502 for when I want something a bit lighter. Really love it, feels just as comfortable. I really dislike not having that little ledge on the right side to stop it from slipping when you pick it up though, definitely noticable. Also the USB cable it comes with is pretty short. Otherwise it is simply amazing.
