SteelSeries Launches Rival 5 Ultimate Gaming Mouse; Arctis 9 Dual Wireless Headset for PC and PlayStation 5

Rival 5

Building on SteelSeries’ history of innovative mouse design, the Rival 5 fits like a glove. Crafted with a universal ergonomic shape, it delivers superb comfort for any hand size and grip style and provides easy access to the intuitive side buttons for lightning-fast decisions in any game.

Featuring 9 programmable buttons, each fully customisable for the player’s most important hotkeys, and the 5-button quick action side panel layout features a toggle switch for fast and efficient in-game actions. Like a chameleon, players can change their colour scheme to adapt to specific games. 

The Rival 5 weighs in at a mere 85g, 30% lighter than the competition in the same category (G502). To top it off, a Super Mesh Cable allows for quick swipes and rapid movements by utilising a microfiber mesh that enables less drag and a lighter feel.

Featuring a TrueMove Air Sensor, the Rival 5 delivers custom true 1-to-1 tracking with 18,000 CPI, 400 IPS, 40G acceleration and tilt tracking to eliminate unwanted tracking during angled drops, tilt slams, and quick flicks. Additionally, next-gen Golden Micro IP54 Switches are rated for 80M clicks (3X the durability found in other gaming mice) and have upgraded dust and water-resistant switches that provide flawless clicks, prevent double clicks and allow gamers to make rock solid next-level shots.

Arctis 9 

The Arctis 9 features SteelSeries’ proven ultra-low latency 2.4GHz lossless wireless connection for high fidelity audio, so gamers can enjoy a lag-free gaming experience on both PC and PlayStation. 

The Arctis 9 continues the Arctis family tradition by using the same Discord-certified microphone and critically acclaimed signature Arctis soundscape as the rest of the Arctis line. The ClearCast microphone uses a bidirectional design for superior noise cancellation and natural-sounding clarity, while the signature Arctis soundscape emphasises both subtle and critical in-game sounds, allowing gamers to hear every in-game detail. 

The optimised battery of the Arctis 9 provides more than 20 hours of non-stop wireless usage on a single charge. The headset also uses the iconic ski goggle suspension headband for incredible comfort, paired with Airweave fabric ear cushions and a steel-reinforced headband for a perfect fit and lasting durability. 

The RIVAL 5 and Arctis 9 is priced at $119 and $349 respectively and available for purchase at Steelseries’ official store on Shopee and Lazada and selected authorised dealers. For the full list of dealers, please visit SteelSeries Singapore Facebook.
