Owner's manual
SteelSeries Rival 300 Optical Gaming Mouse

Q: I have very large hands, at about 20cm by 10cm and I've been using the Death Adder, it's gotten a little too small for me now and I am forced to use a claw grip to properly aim. How is this mouse for users with large hands and prefer a palm grip?

A: large size is why i got this, to help stop cramping hands from trying to grip it

Q: How do i order this mouse in white

A: Go to the Geek Squad counter and inquire whether they will special order it for you.

Q: Is this item available in stores or is it only online?

A: I bought mine in-store.

Q: Listing on the website shows black/white/ and gray. When I go in store the only model I can find is the black rubberized model only. Where can I find the Gray model?

A: The 300 is outdated and the stores carry the black 700 now.

Q: rival 700 when in stock plz

A: This is late but in case you were still curious it's available now for order, you can go direct or through your local bestbuy. I will say that I'm a fan of immediate gratification and bestbuy's gaming products/peripherals have great pricing and will most of the time price match.

Q: shiping to israel

A: I'm not related to Best Buy but for common sense answer is not possible because of taxes once it gets to Israel, imports are subject to specific rules and regulations

Great Mouse!
This mouse is a great gaming mouse. The software it comes with is pretty good, but lacks some integration features with your phone like Logitech's ARX Control. The mouse has 6 buttons as follows: *Left Mouse Button *Right Mouse Button *Middle Mouse Button *Top Mouse Button *Forward side button *Back side button Mouse Physical Properties: The mouse feeling is a smooth rubberized paint on the top. The sides have a rubberized paint with circles to give you a firm grip of the mouse. The mouse is light weight. The USB Cable is not sleeved so it might get worn on the edge of the desk going down to the computer if your system is setup that way. -The stroke of the left mouse button and right mouse button are pretty short which is perfect for FPS and any game in general where a fast reaction time is necessary. -The scroll wheel has a rubberized feedback as you scroll with it. I'm not a huge fan of it because it feels a little sloppy; however I've gotten used to it and it doesn't make the infamous loud scroll sound that makes you want to punch your co-worker in the face. -The side buttons have a deep stroke which prevents accidental button presses when bumping into the side of your keyboard or grabbing your mouse. I hate when that happens because sometimes my macros are up to 30 seconds long an I have to wait-out for it to finish. -The scroll wheel also does not tilt which prevents you from scrolling left or scrolling right when trying to throw a grenade or anything else you bind to the Middle Mouse Button. (this is a welcome feature since I use the middle mouse button to Pan through drawings when I work from home) Mouse Software: The software for the mouse is called SteelSeries Engine 3. It is very user friendly and the user interface, or UI, is much better than others out there for someone who wants to just install it and make their changes quickly, without needing a manual or tutorials to explain what to do. You can make game specific profiles, Macro's, bind keys, set the color of the scroll wheel glow and base logo glow in thousands of combinations. I had never used this piece of software before and I was making changes without any issue. Absolutely stand up job on the software UI Steel Series! The mouse acceleration and deceleration control is the best I've seen with a visual graph. The polling rate can be set from as low as 125 all the way up to 1000. There are two sensitivity settings you can make for this mouse and by default switch between them on the top of your mouse. (useful for switching to scope while sniping and in-vehicle controls). Tons of configurations can be made for game to game binding settings or switching defaults when you feel like changing the mouse lights to the seasons; or even to match new case lights, keyboard lights, etc. The lights can breathe, multi-color breathe, color shift, stay constantly on, or be turned off. The lights on the mouse even have some game features through GameSense that allows the lights on the mouse to Change colors or blink for things such as Ammo reserve in CS:GO, Hunger in Minecraft, Tool durability in Minecraft, etc. Just checkout GameSense on SteelSeries website! Would I buy this mouse again? Yes! Especially for the price.

Overall Good Mouse
I have been using this for several months now (I do not exactly remember how long.). All that I can say is that it is a very good mouse for the price. This was before I became a Best Buy Member, I just created this account today. The design of the mouse feels very comfortable, and the sides have a decent grip on them. The two forward and back buttons on the right side of the mouse are easy to reach, I have found them useful for web browsing. The CPI button switches between two customizable CPI settings (250 - 6400), I personally don't use this as much unless I am sniping in games. The software seems very easy and simple to use. It allows you to customize six of the buttons on the mouse. The RGB lighting is very subtle in my opinion and has three effect types: steady, breath, and color shift. The lighting is customizable for the wheel and the logo. Something to note is that the cable is not a braiding type of cable unlike other mice, however I usually do not find this to be such a huge issue. Now, the rubber grips on the side of the mouse did wear away after a few weeks of usage. This did not exactly effect the performance in anyway, but the look just bothered me a little bit. Overall, this mouse is a very nice mouse for it's price. The software is simple to use, and the mouse itself feels very nice to use. It maybe different for others, but this was just my personal experience.

Good, Understated Mouse!
I took a chance on this mouse when it was on sale and I'm glad I did. Great laser check, ergonomics check and flexibility are this mouses strong points. The size allows grip styles from claw to palm and the rubber coating gives you a great sweat resistant experience. Though the two side buttons are noticeably suppressed into the housing of the mouse, the large size of these buttons is greatly appreciated. Also the RGB lighting for the logo and scroll wheel is a nice bonus however, I wish the 2 lights could be synced together. At times colors are not coordinated and blinking and or breathing functions are sporadic and unpredictable. I found the weight and the overall performance of this mouse to be exceptional in spite of some minor design flaws. (I own 3)
