Simple Yet Solid Choice
I wanted another gaming mouse for a new setup I was working on, but it needed to be a wireless mouse that was simply plug and play. I saw that SteelSeries was releasing a refresh on their Rival mouse, the Rival 3 Gen 2 wireless mouse so I decided to pick one up. Pros: - Feels great in hand. - Simple and functional design. - Lightweight. - Very Responsive. Cons: - Windows default mouse settings can cause issues. Setup: SteelSeries hit the mark perfectly with the Rival 3 Gen 2 Gaming Mouse, delivering a simple yet perfectly functional gaming mouse. The Rival 3 Gen 2 is Plug-&-Play compatible, with preset DPI settings on the lower end but they work without any fiddling in the app. SteelSeries opted for using AAA batteries instead of an internal battery which I like as it doesn’t limit the quality of the mouse due to a dying battery and getting to full power is as simple as swapping out batteries. And if you can only find 1 battery in the heat of gaming, don’t sweat it! SteelSeries designed the Rival 3 Gen 2 to run on just 1 AAA if you wanted a lighter mouse or just have 1 battery. For connections, the Rival 3 Gen 2 can be connected via USB-A Wireless dongle or Bluetooth. Both have additional settings in the SteelSeries GG app to adjust or improve the connection of the mouse. Feel: In-hand, the Rival 3 Gen 2 feels almost perfect, like that first time you switch from a standard mouse to a gaming mouse that fits your play style. The simple yet comfortable and functional design allows you to focus on the game, and not which button or how you’re holding the Rival 3 Gen 2. Even the bottom glides smoothly on both soft and hard surfaces, without issues. The mouse weighs in at 106 g with 2 AAA batteries, 95 g with just 1 AAA. This is one lightweight mouse. The button clicks are also very satisfying and connected, each is solid without that plastic feel or flex that feels like you might break the mouse. Only time will truly tell how durable the mouse buttons are but after using it for a little under a week, I’ve had no issues or noticed any flex in the buttons. The biggest downside I can see with this mouse is that there is no left-handed version, sorry lefties as you’re missing out on a solid mouse. App: The SteelSeries GG is quite loaded with additional features like Moments to capture game play clips and Sonar to adjust your audio, but all you really need with the Rival 3 Gen 2 is to adjust the DPI and Wireless Stability Enhancement. The DPI directly impacts how fast your mouse pointer moves, the Rival 3 Gen 2 can handle down to 200 and up to 18,000 dpi, with 100 DPI steps in-between. You can store 5 preset DPI settings that can be switched between on the fly with a click of the middle button of the mouse. The only other setting I really found helpful was the Wireless Stability Enhancement, as there’s a lot of wireless interference where I’m going to be using the mouse, so any improvement to the connection will be beneficial. Use: The only minor issue I had was initially after installing SteelSeries GG, for whatever reason the Windows Mouse Acceleration conflicted with how SteelSeries controls its mouse speeds and caused the mouse pointer to stutter across the screen. Luckily, SteelSeries had already known about this issue and had a quick link to disable the setting, and vola it all worked. After the initial adjustments, the mouse has worked flawlessly over the almost week of use. I’ve found that I prefer this mouse over my work and other wired gaming mouse because of how smooth and responsive the mouse is in gaming, but also in just general use. I can follow targets with ease while landing the shot without any wasted mouse movement or delay due to wireless connection. The mouse has been a complete dream. Conclusion: If you want a simple yet solid mouse that works almost perfectly, then the SteelSeries Rival 3 Gen 2 would be a solid contender to consider. The mouse is simple, lightweight, and fast without any compromises. You might want to adjust the default DPI settings, along with Windows Mouse Acceleration, but after that you’ll be off to smooth gaming and quick shooting! I’ve always loved SteelSeries products and will add the Rival 3 Gen 2 to my list of mouse recommendations.

Great mid-range gaming mouse with flexible AAAs
Overview ========================= The SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless Gen 2 isn't the fanciest mouse around but it does come in at a great price and has some older, but useful features that practical gamers may actually prefer. It's not as fancy or gaudy as some true high-end gaming mice, but that doesn't mean it's not good! It has a USB-A dongle that gives it dual-mode connectivity: 2.4 ghz wireless or BT that's controlled by a switch at the bottom. It has the same 18k sensor from previous versions and all 6 buttons are programmable. Interestingly enough, it can run from 1 battery or 2. Up to 200 hours on 2.4 ghz and 450 on BT is way more than I could ever test. As for the batteries, they're AAA so you could use rechargeable ones. More on that later. Setup ========================= There's not much to say here, and that's fine. It's a mouse. SteelSeries includes two AAA batteries (not rechargeable) so you can get started right away. Just plug in the dongle and get started. The option for 1 or 2 batteries allows you to tune the weight from 95g to 106g though the mouse is "rear-heavy". The toggle switch on the bottom allows you to use BT, 2.4 or turn the mouse off to save batteries. The auto-off functionality can be customized in the "GG" software as well as the button assignments, DPI, etc. Switching to AAA rechargeable batteries makes this really handy. If you've got some charging, you'll always be ready to go. The battery flexibility is nice also in case you just have one handy. Performance ========================= I'm no pro, but overall, this was a nice gaming mouse! I focused on 2.4 ghz performance via the USB-A dongle, but I also took it on the go and used it in BT mode which was just fine as well. I didn't notice any latency nor drop outs. Tracking was great on multiple surfaces including a mouse pad, wooden desk, stone counter, and more. The Rival 3 claims super-fast clicks and it certainly is responsive! SteelSeries claims 1.9ms click latency, and I can't argue with that. It's lightning fast! It's not loud like a clicky Razer mouse I had, but a bit damped. Not as damped as an old Logitech G602, though. I don't loooove the scroll wheel, but it works. It is a racheting type, but the notches are so big that you can sometimes feel that you're somewhere in-between. It's not as sweet as the kinds you can switch from clicky to smooth, but that's OK at this price point. It never caused a problem, but you may not love that feeling. Conclusion ======================= I really do like this mouse. I think it's a great mouse for practical gamers that like using rechargeable AAA batteries for ease-of-use and environmental issues. The performance is great and well above my abilities. I like it for an all-around, take-anywhere mouse that I can use via 2.4ghz for gaming at home, then BT for a work trip that may involve some handheld gaming. SteelSeries makes great products and this Rival 3 Gen 2 is the next evolution of their great mid-range gaming mouse.

Comfortable smooth well-made wireless gaming mouse
The SteelSeries - Rival 3 Gen 2 Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse has a nice solid feel to it with a bit of weight to it. The 2 included AAA batteries go in easy by sliding the top backside of the mouse off which is where you'll also find the 2.4 Ghz wireless adapter. It also connects easily via Bluetooth, so it's nice to have both options available with the flip of a switch on the underside of the mouse! I find the mouse works just as well on either option. The buttons have a good amount of resistance and tactile click to them. There is a small button behind the scroll-wheel for quickly changing the DPI setting of the mouse. The scroll-wheel has a nice solid feel to it and an RGB light that lights up when you're connecting the mouse. It glides smoothly across the mouse surface with the little pads on the underside of the mouse. Aesthetically it has a nice look to it and is a bit less bulky than my SteelSeries AEROX 5 gaming mouse. The SteelSeries software allows you to adjust all sorts of properties of the mouse and save them in configurations for quickly choosing as needed. Without the flashy RGB lighting like some gaming mice I'm expecting the battery life to be quite good in comparison. I'm torn on whether I would've preferred this to have a rechargeable battery setup or the replaceable alkaline batteries. Overall, this is a great wireless gaming mouse / everyday mouse at an affordable price that connects easily and has lots of configuration options. I would definitely recommend to a friend.
