SteelSeries Rival 700 (w/ OLED display) Mouse Review

Rating: 8.0.

SteelSeries has earned itself a very good reputation for its peripherals, and what better way to put that to the test by analysing the company's flagship mouse. The Rival 700 optical gaming mouse sports a DPI of up to 16,000, an integrated OLED display and can even vibrate. Is it worth the £74.99 asking price?

The OLED display and vibrating motor functions are definitely the most intriguing features of the SteelSeries Rival 700, though I must admit the idea of a small display on my mouse is a bit strange, but it is worth looking into. Of course, we will also want to make sure that the Rival 700's sensor is capable, and that the mouse's body is comfortable to hold – so let's get right to it.
