SteelSeries - Rival 3 Gen 2 Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse with Ultra-fast clicks - Wireless - Black

Excellent product, works perfectly from the first use. The design is comfortable and modern, it adapts very well to the hand and responds quickly. The connection is stable and has no delays. The battery lasts a long time and is very practical for day-to-day use, both for work and personal use. I definitely recommend it for its quality and good performance.

I’m using this mouse for light business use. Fits nicely in the palm of my hand. Light to hold even with the two batteries. Clicks are responsive and not too loud. Solid Bluetooth connection with the option for 2.4ghz wireless.

Works great and was a good value. Works as good as some of the more expensive ones.

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.

SteelSeries, a leading manufacturer in the professional gaming industry, was founded in 2001 by Jacob Wolff-Petersen. "JWP" was an incredible Counter-Strike player in Copenhagen. He began working with Tino Soelberg, SteelSeries' Chief Technical Officer. They began pro team relationships, which developed into partnerships. This provided critical input on what gamers really wanted. The rest is history. From the very beginning, the highest priorities of SteelSeries were Gaming Performance & Reliability. The SteelSeries Rival 3 Gen 2 Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse features an industry leading optimized click latency of 1.9ms, combined with a powerful 18K 400 IPS optical sensor. Reliability is an integral part of this mouse, with 60 Million Click Guarantee! A WiFi 2.4 GHz dongle is included in the mouse, perfectly centered for ideal weight distribution between 2) included AAA batteries. A switch on the bottom of the mouse selects between WiFi & Bluetooth. I use Bluetooth, because I can initiate gaming on the go without connecting the USB A dongle. CONCLUSION: SteelSeries' early campaign slogan: "Winning Is Everything" clearly applies to their latest mouse. A high performance mouse with impeccable feel, the Rival 3 Gen 2 is the culmination of the latest technology with expertise gained since 2001 & earns my highest recommendation.
