Our Verdict

Logitech G502 HERO

SteelSeries Rival 710

The Logitech G502 HERO is a slightly better wired gaming mouse than the SteelSeries Rival 710. The Logitech's weight is adjustable thanks to the five included weights, and its cable is higher-quality. The Logitech's CPI is also more accurate. The Logitech has a lower lift-off distance and more programmable buttons thanks to the L/R tilt on the scroll wheel. The SteelSeries is likely more comfortable to use over long periods.
