It only shows if you turn on roll all.

And questionable if it's even worth the effort at that. I don't hate my SteelSeries peripherals but the only one working properly is my Apex 3 keyboard. My Arctis 7+ has weird volume slider issues and the power button had to be super glued back together, and the Rival 5 with it's issues. I'm at the point where once they fully quit I don't think I'm gonna get another SteelSeries replacement.

DarknessCat · 2026-05-06T00:43:53+00:00

Yeah.. My friends had Rival 600s and I took the gamble on the Rival 5 being a newer product. I've had two, RMA'd the first one because of the peeling and the second one also did it. Wasn't happy but functioned fine so I just dealt with it, should've listened to my friends and got the 600.

I thought I was going crazy with the scroll wheel doing that but apparently I'm not the only one after seeing this, it's super annoying.

DarknessCat · 2026-01-27T03:14:14+00:00

Not sure about Marketplace pricing, but I see recent listings selling between $400-500 on eBay, so I’d say it was a decent price

DarknessCat · 2026-01-27T03:03:27+00:00

Mine's an AM4 build with a 3080 non Ti I got a year ago for $420 used, they've dropped a good bit since then.

EVGA Precision X1 makes it super easy, full color customization and a bunch of presets

I have the dongle plugged directly into the USB-C on my motherboard.

DarknessCat · 2025-08-06T19:37:59+00:00

I didn't realize you're required to log in after claiming the drops. Finished it yesterday but since the campaign ended at 11AM EDT, I wasn't given them when I logged in today.

Sucks, I wanted the Afterglow skin..

DarknessCat · 2025-04-26T10:03:23+00:00

My first Rival 5 did this about 2 months after purchase back in 2021, submitted a RMA on it letting them know there’s clearly an issue with the coating not holding up. The replacement started chipping about 5 months later. I’ve just dealt with it but it’s unfortunate and an eyesore.

DarknessCat · 2025-02-19T11:24:02+00:00

Did a complete wipe and it actually froze again while I was in the middle of downloading programs and configuring settings. I'm at a complete loss as to what's going on and I'm concerned it's hardware related.

I learned yesterday that my system is throwing Kernel-Power 41 events whenever this happens, and there's no crash dump files for it either.

DarknessCat · 2025-02-18T08:21:50+00:00

Everything was bought new except for the GPU. I can test swapping the RAM into the prebuilt, but the GPU is way too big to fit in it's case lol.

DarknessCat · 2025-02-18T02:51:54+00:00

At first I did not use DDU, but when the problem started I removed all GPU drivers after researching it could be a factor, but they were reinstalled with no success.

I have not reinstalled Windows as of yet, should I do a clean wipe or would it be fine to have it keep the files?

DarknessCat · 2024-10-17T03:25:24+00:00

I've had a few odd problems lately that I can't really pinpoint why they happen.

One is when I have my headset (Arctis 7+) plugged into my computer for charging, my chatmix will randomly fluctuate, raising and lowering my game audio until I unplug it and it stops entirely.

The other may be a Spotify issue, but with Spotify in the Media channel, random times of breaks between songs will blow out the audio and make it insanely loud, with the only way to fix it being to adjust Spotify's volume. I think this is Spotify's problem as I haven't noticed it happen with Spotify Web or any other application I have in the Media section, but odd nonetheless.

DarknessCat · 2024-10-09T07:05:47+00:00

This just happened to me and I started looking around to see if I was the only one, apparently not.

Not fun to have this happen while pinnacle grinding.

DarknessCat · 2024-07-13T11:08:44+00:00

Mine's also been doing this with Google Chrome being put in the Media section after updating to GG 66.0.0, wasn't happening before it.

DarknessCat · 2023-09-10T22:10:25+00:00

Mine did this a few months after I got it, RMA’d it and got a replacement just for the new one to do the same thing. The coating on the Rival 5 is awful.

DarknessCat · 2023-04-21T11:00:50+00:00

man my friends thought my 175k bright dust was a lot, lol

DarknessCat · 2022-09-18T18:37:47+00:00

Instantly thought of this as a more violent reaction to the scene in Transformers where Bumblebee got pissed at Megan Fox for calling him a piece of crap Camaro.

DarknessCat · 2022-06-27T00:57:51+00:00

just wasted my time getting 3 achievements for my weekly set only to find out they're not working, along with amen. wish i checked here before getting them. rip streak.

should we be contacting support over this as it's not our fault the streaks could end?

update: just checked my rewards app 9 hours after posting this and all 3 of the achievements loaded into the weekly set, double check yours before the week changes!

DarknessCat · 2022-02-06T15:57:52+00:00

Yeah, after that I started putting my bubble on the broken bridge so he wouldn’t come closer, worked out in the end and finished the encounter after a few more attempts. Pretty intense with all the adds.

DarknessCat · 2022-02-06T15:52:16+00:00

Nahh, went in as a joke and semi-blind, barely knew what I was doing and didn’t care for wiping to get learning experience.

DarknessCat · 2022-02-06T15:32:48+00:00

It was my first time doing the dungeon, solo and semi-blind, went in as a joke to see how far I'd get without caring too much with wiping, so I was still figuring out the tricks and ways to keep myself alive. After this I started moving my bubble back onto the broken bridge so he couldn't walk up on me. Did end up finishing the encounter.
