Warranty GG already 

thats a soundcard
he wanted a cable

Which is why it is so unfortunate that I'm not in West Malaysia , Kuching here is well, not many shop has demo unit, only the cheapo Gigabyte mice
I know that I have to hands on to be able to feels it, but that's how I bought my MX518 as well, just ask my friend to grab it from Lowyat back then because Kuching still does not have such mouse available (HOLY SHYT? you guess that right... )

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?

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1029302&hl=

written there RM1XX but i buy from her before cny also cheapest i can find in whole of lyn lol

How I wish the switch is uses the Cherry MX switches methology... well just in my dreams, anyway I think the older mouse has better copper plating inside the switches, I did the switch fix DIY myself once for my MX518 and still intensively smashing it for my casual gaming, works fine now but planning on replacement (a decade old... time to retire liao la..).
Anyway about your mouse, you can try the DIY if no more warranty, but if handling tiny things is not your cup of tea then it's not advised, cause those Logitech M100R did have this kind of problem and I tried to repair it the same way, and the copper just broke on me... 
So I do hope Steelseries has way better copper inside that switch, something that can last me like I do for my MX518, planning for Rival, now just need to compare the fattiness so I can comfortably replace my oldie partner.

Just notice that I'm claw grip while gaming, tip grip when uses photo editing program...

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

Oh shrug, looks like the paint will wear off much easier than expected, my MX518 side paint become sticky after 1~2 years of use, then I just scrap it off using sand paper and just spray with normal matte paint, not very fancy job but at least does not feels so plasticky without the coating.
Will think another time about buying those mice... 
Most mice nowadays also uses matte coating on the top and side, Rival seems to use rubber grip, a nice touch, but wonder if that's just coating or real rubber piece that won't get sticky after pro-long usage.

Researching mode ON.

Add: Just did a Google and found even Sensei which cost much higher also has such issue of paint wearing off...

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

Oh hail goodness~~
Yeah, almost as I imagined it would be from many picture source and also the measurement of G400s that I found on one website (forgotten that link).
The height is tad few mm different for most of the part, except rival is longer, slimmer (width shorter), and to my surprise, G400s is actually higher (height).
Rival however has the "butt" bump at further back, making it contact with palm more than G400s, feelings will be much different in this case.

Thank you again for your effort, going for Rival... probably in June (PIKOM), stupid Kuching ICT fair got postponed... AGAIN!!!
Hopefully can feel the actual mice in my palm at the fair.
Yeah, you're probably right about that, been a bit faint hearted after seeing the big brother Sensei having such an issue.
I should have faith at Steelseries ($.$;;)
