I have some money lying around and really want to buy this mouse because the Razer Deathadder Chroma I bought (I regret every Razer product...) Feels like plastic dogshit BUT it still works surprisingly. I'm an avid cs go player and this is one of the most recommended mice you can get. But, I'm scared that a more updated version will come out soon for the same price. Has anyone heard any news about a new and updated Rival coming out soon? Thanks!

I don't have it but I tried it at Best Buy a few times and I personally hate the side grips... to me it feels horrible, I would never get it, but it might just be me.  For CS:GO look into Zowie!  What hand size and grip do you have (see mouse guide in sig)?

I'm very retarded when it comes to this but I'd say I have a medium sized hand that perfectly fits the Razer Deathadder Chroma. and I use Claw grip. If that helps at all lol. Btw,m They changed the grip on sides so possibly you tried out  amouse that was very worn out.

Zowie is still better, I recommend that you look into the Zowie FK1!

If you use claw grip

Shouldn't you look torwards something like the FK1 or the ZA series.

I would disagree with you with chroma's quaility because I found the plastic to be very sturdy and grainy compared to a g402. (opinions)

 

Rival isnt that great for claw grip. It's more of a palm grip mouse than anything else. They're releasing the ambi rival 100 later this year if you're interested in claw gripping that. If you can wait you should wait for that because SS has promised it would have a better sensor than the current rival.

I agree the Chroma doesn't feel that bad I just didn't want people yelling at me saying I don't need a new mouse xD. Thank you so much I never knew about this mouse!
