All in all, the SteelSeries Rival 100 is a great value proposition. It will not blow your socks off in performance, but I must repeat myself one last time: For $40 at press time, you are getting a good chunk of high end features without a high end price tag.

Despite those caveats, the SteelSeries Rival 100 is one of the best budget mice on the market and definitely worth the Hardware Canucks Dam Good Value award. The sensor and the ergonomics are excellent, and the price makes it that much better.

SteelSeries deserve high praise for the Rival 100 which has dropped into the gaming world like the Tsar Bomba. Its pro level features and no compromise design sets the benchmark at this price point.

For most gamers, programming macros isn't a big deal. And they're kind of necessary when you're juggling all sorts of melee weapon attacks and spells and healing potions and you need to get these things done quickly in the heat of battle. But all a lot of people might want to do is change a button or two. And while the Cougar UIX wins on simplicity, it's SteelSeries that gave me the flexibility I needed, as well as making a mouse that's just more comfortable in my dainty casual-gamer hands.

I enjoyed every minute of using the Rival 100. SteelSeries has developed and integrated the SteelSeries Engine software to work well with their peripherals. While a having a cable on a mouse can be a nuisance at times I never encountered the cable ever whipping back under the Rival 100 while in intense gaming action. The Rival 100 is definitely recommended at a excellent value.
