NEXT-GEN SIDE BUTTON LAYOUT

The Rival 500 is the first mouse designed around the natural contours of your thumb. This is not the next level of multi-button gaming mice, this is the end game.

Next-Gen Layout

We designed the buttons on the Rival 500 to resemble the natural motion of your thumb. All the buttons you use are easily clickable by simply rotating your thumb around in a circular motion.

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.

No Number Grid?

Say goodbye to the antiquated 12-button grid layout that's oddly reminiscent of your 2002 era candy bar cell phone. This new layout makes it easier and faster to identify the individual buttons with less misclicks.

Think Beyond The Thumb

Your thumb can handle more than one button, so why can't your other fingers?

Easy-access top buttons are perfect for opening your map, opening skill menus, hopping on your mount, or controlling the courier.

TACTILE ALERTS LET YOU FEEL THE GAME

No two alerts are the same! You choose which in-game events automatically trigger tactile alerts and you have complete control over how each one feels.

What Triggers You?

No two alerts are the same! You choose which in-game events automatically trigger a Tactile Alert, and you have complete control over how each one feels. Health, ammo, mana, disables, headshots, and stuns can all be individually set to trigger a Tactile Alert. For example, the moment you get stunned you can set an alert to start, and stop the instant the stun ends.

Completely Customizable

Customize the vibration patterns, duration, triggers and more. Set an alert that feels like a heartbeat when you are low on HP, or set an alert to do a quick buzz to congratulate you on every last hit. Choose between a wide array of patterns such as: Short and Long Buzz, Fast and Slow Heartbeats, Sad Trombone, Double Click, Triple Click and much more - the possibilities are endless!

Zero Recoil


The Tactile Alerts have been carefully placed in the center of your mouse, so you feel the pulse strongly in your palm. By directing the pulse to only move up through your hand, instead of left and right, Tactile Alerts will never impact your mouse’s tracking so you can keep your pixel-perfect aim.
