Features of SteelSeries Rival 710

The only significant difference between Rival 700 and Rival 710 is the optical sensor, transferred from Pixart PMW 3360 in Rival 700 to one of SteelSeries's TrueMove3 sensors in Rival 710. This sensor is made for Rival 710 Becoming a better mouse, because it's more accurate than Pixart PMW3360, but TrueMove3 only has 12,000CPI ratings, lower than Pixart's 16,000DPI. Steelseries prefers to use CPI (counts per inch) more than DPI (dots per inch). Rival 710 can operate at 16,000CPI, using software to guess the difference, but, according to Mike Epstein from PCMag, mice become significantly less accurate when operating at over 12,000CPI.

The SteelSeries Rival 710 creates a rather bizarre situation, in which a new, successful product does not completely overcome its predecessor. In his review on PCMag, Mike noted that Rival 710 seems to be extremely accurate, but if you want to run with DPI / CPI at more than 12,000, in fact, the old Rival 700 might be a good solution. more (due to its higher DPI rating). Unfortunately, SteelSeries has stopped producing Rival 700, but many of Corsair's competitive Aorus M5 and Corsair's Ironclaw RGB products have a DPI rating of 16,000 or more and these options cost a little less than Rival 710.

Rival 710's current reference price is about $ 80 (1,862. 000VND).
