SteelSeries Rival 5 Gaming Mouse Review

Packaging & Accessories

The box design is similar to what we see across the SteelSeries range and features a nice large photo that shows off the design really well.

Around the back, a smaller image, but a few details of features, such as the sensor and weight. There’s a full features list down the side of the box too.

The mouse is very well protected in this box, with thick cardboard on all sides, two small boxes inside providing an air gap, a black cardboard mount holding the mouse firmly in place, and a foam circle preventing it hitting the hard cardboard.

The cable is fed into the underside of the mount.

And it’s neatly circled with no harsh bends.

The mouse is hard-wired, so it’s plug and play ready.

The cable is the ultra-light “Super Mesh Cable” design, which features a new soft microfiber design, and it looks and feels great!
