Our Verdict
ROCCAT Tyon
SteelSeries Rival 600
The SteelSeries Rival 600 is a much better mouse for FPS games than the ROCCAT Tyon. The SteelSeries is lighter, has a slightly lower click latency, and has a wider adjustable CPI range. Both mice are too large for people with small hands to use comfortably, but if you have medium or large hands and use a fingertip grip, the SteelSeries is much easier to hold. On the other hand, the ROCCAT has way more programmable buttons than the SteelSeries.
