MORE: The Best Gaming Mice $25 and Under on Amazon Again, this is a minor gripe, but it doesn't apply to some of the Rival 600's competitors. I made a very attractive dark-blue-purple-light-blue cycle to accompany my StarCraft sessions, but it kept snapping back to the start of the pattern rather than fading, until I made it loop manually. Making your own patterns can also be a fraught process. It's easy enough to copy patterns, but it still requires some trial and error that you won't encounter with comparable programs from Razer, Logitech or Corsair. As such, you could be toying around with a lighting pattern for quite a while before realizing that it applies only to the scroll wheel. The Rival 600 features six different lighting zones, but the program selects only one of them by default.
However, the lighting is not as straightforward as it could be. However, in my testing, I didn't find that this feature had much effect one way or another on the average player (namely, me). This could be a boon to tournament players, and it does indeed keep your aim relatively straight and true even if you lift up your mouse a lot. SteelSeries makes a big to-do about the fact that the Rival 600 will automatically calibrate its liftoff distance based on your play surface. If you need to adjust the weights only once, it's not a problem, but if you prefer different profiles for different games, it'll be a constant annoyance. For whatever reason, you'll either lock them in place on the first try or struggle fruitlessly as they fall out (and get lost in your rug) over and over again. The weights are useful, but finagling them into place is a real pain. You can keep the mouse light and fast, give it some heft, or even favor one side over the other.
There are eight steel, 4-gram weights, and you can slide them into eight slots, four on each side. On the other hand, the weights themselves are a mixed bag.
