Picked up the Rival Pro at Best Buy: a slightly aggressive right-hand ergo shape, the highest click force they've tried (good for avoiding accidental clicks), quiet clicks, good skates and wheel, and very solid build with no travel. Neat battery swapping; the price is the only downside.
“Feels very good no creaking or anything giving way when squeezed.”
Owns the Rival Pro: shape, coating, clicks and performance are all really good and the battery swap is cool. The price is the only bad thing.

A former DeathAdder and Xlite user says the Rival Pro fits their hand and fixes the old model's side problems; likes onboard settings, though the ~$194 price is steep.
“Now this mouse fits my hand as well and the sides have no problems that the old model does.”
Their Rival Pro's scroll wheel stops registering steps whenever the battery drops below about 40%, fixed only by swapping batteries.
“When the battery level is in the 30% ish the scroll wheel stops registering steps.”
