SteelSeries has launched the Rival 100 optical gaming mouse, which it claims "brings unmatched performance, at an unrivalled price". In reaching the £29.99 / $39.99 / €39.99 price tag the firm says "we sacrificed nothing." The RGB illuminated, PixArt sensor equipped, six button ergonomic mouse was designed and refined with a particular eye on eSports.
"We determined early-on that we weren't going to sacrifice anything when designing the Rival 100. In fact, it was our goal to develop a multi-button gaming mouse, with features and performance beyond any similarly-priced mouse," said Ehtisham Rabbani, SteelSeries CEO. "We are confident that this is the mouse gamers are demanding."
It is claimed that the SteelSeries Rival 100 optical gaming mouse offers 40 per cent higher tracking accuracy and movement-tracking speeds up to 33 per cent faster than top competitive mice. In addition to that all-important performance, SteelSeries has managed to equip customizable Prism RGB lighting, an ambidextrous 'premium build' and 30 million click rated button switches.
