The Rival 500 is the first mouse designed to function with the natural movements of your hand. The side button layout is engineered to the natural contours of your thumb to react accurately and fluidly. With tactile alerts, you can feel in-game events. Everything comes together to create the most dynamic gaming experience possible for the sole purpose of helping you play better. Armed with gaming’s first flick down switches that are extremely easy to distinguish. It's more ergonomic and gives gamers the fastest reaction time because your thumb moves faster when you flick down opposed to pressing in. When the battle is the most intense you can always find the key you need.

Flickdown Switches
With a simple flick of the thumb, the two lower buttons are pressed. We wanted to give you the fastest response time for those key bindings and the best way was to make it as natural as possible.

Mechanical Button Lock
Not using the bottom buttons? We equipped the Rival 500 with the ability to offer up a comfortable place for your thumb to rest on when not in the heat of battle. Just flick the switch up and you created yourself a nice little resting spot . What Triggers you?
No two alerts are the same! Choose which in-game events trigger a tactile alert and completely control how each one feels. Health, ammo, mana, headshots and stuns can all be set to trigger alerts.

Completely Customizable
Customize vibration patterns, durations, triggers and more. Set tactile alerts that pulse like a heartbeat when low on HP or a quick buzz to signal every last hit. Choose between vibration patterns including short and long buzz, fast and slow heartbeats, double-click, triple-click and many more.

Zero Recoil
Tactile alerts have been carefully engineered to trigger vertically along the center of your mouse, so you feel the pulse strongly in your palm. The tactile feedback will never impact your mouse’s tracking, meaning you never have to sacrifice your pixel-perfect aim. Pixart 3360 Optical Sensor
