hardware conducts CES coverage is made possible by our partner Nvidia it is also made possible thanks to Corsair fantex and NCIX without them we wouldn't be here the SteelSeries arrival 700 I feel like will be an extremely popular Mouse when it launches it is based off the arrival 300 but with many tweaks and differences so first the shape is quite economic for right-hand use with the lit-up RGB logo and swap all rubber plates the back 14 customization we've seen this on the rival 300 before and it's actually pretty good idea the side grips feel really nice even though the texture seems a bit large the rubber coating fought Pleasant and my fingers just lowered into the right position for great palm grip and there's also you know a pretty good claw grip as a support as well so steel series has included a monochrome display on the right side that is always visible and the mouse can be easily lifted and repositioned so you can view it clearly now this thing is hilarious because you can input gifts into it that will loop and if you're wondering what the spinning head of Nicolas Cage looks like or Shia LaBeouf telling you to do it you can probably think of interesting ways to utilize the display for your team but they're working to have things like stattrak built into the display to show you how many head shots you've gotten within the game maybe the total game time and all types of profile stuff that will be displayed on there perhaps bullets fired or something along those lines for csgo and dota 2 customization doesn't end there with a swappable sensor which will come with an optical pmw 3366 which is considered to be one of the best gaming sensors ever same is featured on the g5 or two but a lazier option will be available as well plus the top surface plate will be interchangeable for a different look and feel like a glossy version rubberized version or a metallic surface the cable is removable with the snyder degree connection and the only thing that might not be to your liking is the weight or theis that was the case for me it is extremely heavy at 150 grams so getting into csgo with it at the show required some readjustment on my part as I wasn't really comfortable moving such a heavy Mouse as I'm used to mice under one grams for csgo but the good thing is that the rival 700 was very well balanced with a fantastic shape so if they figure out how to make it lighter while still offering all the same perks this would be a very popular choice but one of the coolest things about the rival 700 is a built in vibration motor for haptic feedback so it will produce a very subtle vibration if you receive damage or produce a different pattern vibration if you die in game now this is quite cool as it really doesn't distract from the grip and you can still use the mouse as normal and so you get flashed and csgo then get a lucky kill while screen is white this haptic feedback will notify you of that kill before the screen goes back to normal and actually think there's plenty of use with this feedback but what do you think is it too gimmicky with the display and the vibration motor let us know in the comments below thanks for watching I wish you CES coverage
