Our Verdict
SteelSeries Rival 600
Logitech G502 HERO
The SteelSeries Rival 600 and the Logitech G502 HERO are great wired gaming mice. Both mice should be comfortable with any grip type for everyone except those with small hands, though medium-sized hands may have a hard time with fingertip grip on the Logitech. The Logitech has a slightly better cable, more programmable buttons, and a much better scroll wheel. On the other hand, the SteelSeries is lighter and has better ergonomics.
