There was a time not long ago when competitive gamers shied away from wireless mice due to lackluster performance. And while that isn't a huge problem anymore, there are still some issues that many cordless cursors suffer from. But with the Rival Pro, SteelSeries has created a high-end gaming mouse that delivers better responsiveness than pretty much all of its wired rivals. It also has effectively infinite battery life and a super light shell that weighs just 53 grams. Admittedly, priced at $180, it's a bit on the expensive side, but for those who want the freedom of a wireless mouse without practically any of the downsides, the SteelSeries Rival Pro is unquestionably a top-notch gaming accessory.
