Anyone has side by side picture compare for Logitech G400s and Steelseries Rival?
I'm planning a mouse to replace my almost a decade old companion (yes, a decade old) MX518 first gen (yeah, guess that again, FIRST GEN!! 5 little mice feet!) so I heard Rival has some really good sensor and all, but unknown LMB & RMB switches hmm.gif
If anyone is kind enough because here all the store does not have demo unit, all packaging is secured so I can't even compare side by side (reluctant to ask salesperson to do that without buying).
If possible I need to see the height as well, side way view.

Thank you in advance for your time and effort. And I do hope this comparison may help some users here to choose as well, switch from Logitech to Steelseries. brows.gif

i dont have G400s but MX518 is sitting side by side with Rival on my desk

if you are comfy with MX518 probably you would too with Rival, at least Rival works well for my hands coming from MX518..Rival feels abit heavy for my taste while MX518 hit the right spot but of all this is subjective matter

the cheapest Rival can find is from her?

Do you claw grip or tip grip? I do suppose when I do FPS and tip grip on rare occasion where small movement is needed.
As for weight, I open up my MX518 and added some big head screws to increase its weight (LOL), so Rival may fits my weight preferences.
I did notice the back (or butt?) logo can be taken off? Is it for weight distribution or just fancy cap? hmm.gif

Edit: Ok, it's just a fancy replaceable cap. sweat.gif

sorry bro, i dont even know what grip i am laugh.gif my criteria buying a mouse is not small ones cause my hand kinda big with long fingers then button placement

if you like a heavier MX518 Rival looks like quite fit you haha

good deal wor drool.gif my 2 year old cmstorm inferno is starting to register single click as double-clicks, maybe time for a change. anybody has used steelseries sensei/rival EXTENSIVELY for two year? i wanna know can the mouse button hold up better than logitech/razer/cm storm. also will the matte surface on the SS Rival peel or become ugly from sweaty palm?
*
most selling SRP but her price definately very cheap in lyn..i dont earn anything ad for her lol but sharing is caring good right

the matte surface on Rival kinda suck..i dont like it..i use mine since january the surface my finger or palm touches looks like faded paint surface on cars

As you can see at the left and right finger click area where it gets shines, that's where the paint wear off, now we can confirm that Steelseries does not goes too well with their paint job (Just like cheap ABS keycaps ya know), although there's no report of faulty clicks or other build quality so far.
If it's only the paint issue I can still live with it, just the back of the mice where the logo shines wear out is kind of disappointing though, need Steelseries to gets their quality up with the paint, especially the matte. flex.gif

its not wear but rather oil from our touching leaving the stains on the surface, im lazy nowdays didnt wipe it after use and longer leave it the more it stays there

i sanded down my MX518 for repainting or plastidip it soon..the original coating also get sticky from my sweaty palm..just me me go yucks lol..but after sanded down its great the feel is like PBT keycaps with nice texture laugh.gif
