The new Steel Series Rival 300 or Zowie FK2?
Does the new Rival 300 mouse still have the Rubber issue?

What was the rubber issue? I'm curious.

I know Hardware Canucks is looking at the Zowie FK2 right now (I know from his twitter) and he's very impressed.

I would think the mouse still has that issue unless the company responded to the complaints or made a new version. 

I don't know if Hardware Canucks is going to make a video about it. I just know they have it and like it.

They are both pretty good and you can't go wrong with either. The side grip issue on the Rival has been resolved in the latest batches. 

They both feature the same sensor, which has perfect tracking. FK2 uses Huano switches which are stiffer and harder to spam compared to Omrons, but that prevents missclicks. The Rival has Steelseries' proprietary switches which are easily spammable.

I don't get why people do that. OP clearly stated they wanted to get either the Rival or FK2. Adding more mouses to the list will only make their decision more difficult.

is it not okay to recommend the better product?
