Our Verdict
SteelSeries Rival 710
Cooler Master MM830
The SteelSeries Rival 710 and the Cooler Master MM830 are versatile gaming mice. The SteelSeries has better feet, a more consistent sensor, and software compatible with Windows and macOS. Comparatively, the Cooler Master has a better cable, an extra side button, and a higher maximum CPI. Both mice have OLED screens, but the screen on the SteelSeries can display GIFs and has integration for specific games to display in-game stats. The Cooler Master can only display bitmap images and system information. Both mice are best-suited for larger hands using a palm or claw grip.
