Gaming peripherals especially that are coming from big
brands such as Steelseries or Razer usually will be offered at high prices. The
high prices of peripherals make some gamers choose to allocate their budgets on
PC components such as processor and graphics card, and then compromise the
supporting peripherals by using regular keyboard and mouse.
It should not be like that; gaming peripherals can also
deliver high quality in affordable prices. One example is the latest mouse from
Steelseries. Named as Rival 100, it's touted as the best entry-class gaming mouse
today.
Just like other Steelseries's mouse peripherals, Rival 100
has an ambidextrous design that is suitable for left-handed and right-handed
users. On the left and right, there are textured parts to provide comfort in
any position.
As the entry-class mouse, the Steelseries Rival 100 still
relies on optical sensor rather than laser. Even so, Steelseries claims that
the sensor of Rival 100 doesn't involve any hardware acceleration. As a result,
this mouse will produce very accurate and precise movements, and can
accommodate the fast reflexes of e-sport athletes.
Another advantage of Rival 100 is the RGB lighting
technology. Steelseries claims that this is the only mouse in its class that
offers million light colors customization, while providing reliable performance
and a pair of extra buttons that can be programmed at will.
Each button of Rival 100 is claimed can last up to 30
million clicks. This gaming mouse is offered at a price of $ 40.
