Anyone here used steelseries rival before ? Can give me some suggestion about it ?

Just bought the Steelseries Rival. Its quite good to use.
One thing I don't like is its wire which is not very flexible and it takes some time for me to get used to it.
Anyone else have this problem ?
And, I would like to ask, is the button under the scroll wheel used to toggle between profile ? I don't know why when I press the button nothing happens even though I already had 2 profiles.
Lastly, how to clean this mouse's surface as sometimes it will leave some fingerprints ?

RM239 @ PC fair. I will try to do so. But now my main problem is the wire that is not flexible. My razer deathadder don't have this problem.

Hi all,
I'm a Director of R&D at SteelSeries and I wanted to confirm that there is indeed a fix coming out for this CPI issue mentioned frequently in the forums.

It took a very long time to reproduce this error. However - we finally figured out the cause. The current SROM from the sensor manufacturer has an issue. We've worked with them to troubleshoot and reproduce the error and they have delivered a fix to us. We are still testing it internally and with our partners before we release it, but it will be part of the SteelSeries Engine 3.2.1 release, as mentioned above. Targeting end of this week to make it public.

We _do_ read these forums all the time, so seeing your issues reported have helped us troubleshoot the issue. As stated in the forum, if you have an issue, always open a ticket. It will get to us in R&D. Thanks to the couple of you that did open tickets.

To clarify some things: yes - the issue was introduced in the firmware update released with SteelSeries Engine 3.1.5. That firmware update contained a new SROM from the sensor manufacturer. The CPI jump issue has to do with code in the SROM of the sensor responding to changing surfaces on lift off/on a surface. For instance, when using a QCK+ pad (which is very thick) if you slide the mouse off to the edge of the pad, the sensor recognizes this as a surface change and it will modify its parameters. In a very small percentage of the time, a bug would cause the small "CPI jump".
I will update the forum when we release SteelSeries Engine 3.2.1.

Thanks!

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
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.

Mine become like this, two finger stains

i dont really bother about the finger stains. im just disappointed with the rubber on the sides where the thumb is supposed to be resting wears off so fast!!
