In looking for a new MMO mouse, my primary requirements were good build quality that should last at least 2–3 years, enough buttons to get by, and no wireless. As one of the few quality MMO mice not to use a 12-button thumb array, the Rival 500 has a memorable button layout so I don't usually find myself hitting the wrong buttons. The one niggle is the thumb button placement. I use a palm grip with wrist well back, resting on the table, and I've found the front two buttons to be barely reachable with my thumb. If you have a different grip or large hands this shouldn't be an issue but it may be worth finding one to try out before you buy.

Really nice mouse for games like fortnite as it has many extra buttons to bind to things, also fits the hand really well.
I spent a lot of time researching mice with lots of extra buttons and was instantly drawn to the layout on the Rival 500. I was having a hard time locating one for sale in my country though. Thankfully some kind stranger on the internet directed me toward this site. This mouse is exactly what I needed for my personal use. Highly recommend if you're looking for a mouse with a large amount of side buttons. The layout is so useful.
I was skeptical at first, I have been a long time fan of the Logitech G700 and what that had to offer. This mouse is an excellent successor to that. I play Escape from Tarkov and World of Warships with it and it is truly fantastic.
Left mouse button stopped working after a year of use. Do not recommend.
Why cant I find a gaming mouse with multiple buttons that can be easily clicked- To be able to use the forward buttons you have to place your hand in a position that makes hitting the back buttons impossible. And the width of the mouse means you cant hit the side buttons on the top of the mouse without moving the position of your hand.
