SteelSeries Rival 500 – Shape & Fit Overview

The SteelSeries Rival 500 is a wired ergonomic gaming mouse weighing 129g with dimensions of 118.6 × 78.3 × 43.3mm. Its rear-mounted hump makes it particularly well-suited for players who prefer a flatter profile.

For hand sizing, the Rival 500 fits best for hands measuring 169216mm in length and 92112mm in width. If your hand falls outside this range, use the MouseShape fit tool to find a mouse calibrated to your exact measurements.

At 129g, the Rival 500 is classified as full-weight. Heavier mice over 100g deliver a premium, planted feel that some players prefer for precise, deliberate aiming.

The PixArt PMW3360 sensor is a high-performance optical sensor delivering accurate, consistent tracking suitable for the most demanding competitive use. Maximum DPI is 16,000. Polling rate: 1000Hz.

Dimensions listed are from manufacturer specifications. Minor variances may exist between production batches.
