Side Button LayoutWe designed the buttons on the Rival 500 to resemble the natural motion of your thumb. All the buttons you use will be easily clickable just by simply rotating your thumb around in a circular motion. |
Flickdown SwitchesWith a simple flick of the thumb, the two lower buttons are pressed. We wanted to give you the fastest response time for those key bindings, and the best way was to make it as natural as possible. |
Mechanical Button LockNot using the bottom buttons? We equipped the Rival 500 with the ability to offer up a comfortable place for your thumb to rest on when not in the heat of battle. Just flick the switch up, and you created yourself a nice little resting spot. |

What Triggers You?No two alerts are the same! Choose which in-game events trigger a Tactile Alert, and completely control how each one feels. Health, ammo, mana, headshots, and stuns can all be set to trigger alerts. |
Completely CustomizableCustomize vibration patterns, durations, triggers and more. Set Tactile Alerts that pulse like a heartbeat when low on HP or a quick buzz to signal every last hit. Choose between vibration patterns including Short and Long Buzz, Fast and Slow Heartbeats, Double-Click, Triple-Click and many more. |
Zero RecoilTactile Alerts have been carefully engineered to trigger vertically along the center of your mouse, so you feel the pulse strongly in your palm. The tactile feedback will never impact your mouse’s tracking, meaning you never have to sacrifice your pixel-perfect aim. |
