Background

CRE8’s first collaboration with SteelSeries dates back to 2008, when World of Warcraft was a global phenomenon and CRE8 was commissioned by the company to design 3 generations of the iconic WoW-themed gaming mouse series. A decade later, CRE8 recently helps SteelSeries build a new cross-genre gaming mouse – Rival 5, to exhibit a contemporary and clean design language, as well as an MMO/MOBA version – Aerox 9.

Challenges

While keeping the essence of its predecessor – Rival 600, the Rival 5 also needs to serve the needs of gamers across different genres: Battle Royale, FPS, MOBA, and MMO games. This required intensive deliberation designing the buttons layout for a swift experience and precision; as well as finding balance between competitive weight and versatile functionality.
