Swappable sensors, cables, and more
SteelSeries brought a pet mouse to this years Consumer Electronics Show. Its called the Rival 700, and unlike every other mouse out there, this one sports a customizable onboard OLED display to track things like headshots and other stats. Its just one of many unique features.
Customization is the name of the game here. Not only can you tell the Rival 700 what kind of alerts you want to see on the OLED display, you can swap, change, or mod just about every aspect of the rodent, including its sensor. Say what?
Thats right, the Rival 700 has a swappable sensor. It sounds gimmicky, but if SteelSeries can offer upgraded sensors at a reasonable price, gamers who like the feel of the Rival 700 might be compelled to simply upgrade that one part rather than buy a brand new rodent down the line. Well see.
You can also change the cable from a standard one to a double-length braided cable, add a customizable 3D printed nameplate, and change the back shell (SteelSeries is experimenting with different form factors and materials).
