I have used many mice in the past few years and this mouse is pretty good for the price, just wish it was able to charge with a cable instead of using a battery (peaked immortal in valorant.) Cant fault it though because it is probably the only mouse at this price range that has Bluetooth connectivity and has rgb lighting while being as light weight as it is. Not bad at all for an entry level mouse. (People with bigger hands would really love the feel of it.)

I bought this way back last year knowing I would use this as a normal mouse, and hoping down the road if I get back to gaming with a mouse and keyboard, I can take advantage of the side buttons for key modifiers. It worked well as a normal mouse, still clicks like new, has a decent weight, nice form factor. The issue however is with the side buttons. One of the normal things to do with these kind of mice is bind Shift, Ctrl or Alt on it. This thing just presses the button once and doesn't hold it, unless you set it to toggle hold, which means you need to press the button twice to do what's supposed to be done while you hold the key. It doesn't help as well that the SteelSeries application isn't that intuitive, but upon testing other programs like it, looks like it's the same with other brands, with Razer being the easiest to configure (pretty resource hungry though). It's sad to learn about this issue after a year of owning it, which sucks. Even crappy off-brand mice can do a hold on a key modifier. The build quality however is pretty good so I didn't dock it down to 2-stars.

So far it has been great for gaming/daily use. The battery life doesnt seem to be quite 400hrs, considering i'm on my 2nd set of batteries already. But I game at least 6-8hr sessions daily. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great on the go mouse.

Good mouse for what I needed it for. Bluetooth mouse for work with an optional dongle attachment. Its lightweight uses 2 batteries def worth the price it connects via bluetooth easily unlike a few other brands. I could have gotten a 20 dollar logitech bluetooth mouse but they are very uncomfortable, since I game at home I am use to the feel of a gaming mouse. The price wasn't bad I purchased it when it was on sale.

This mouse has been fantastic for accuracy and ease of use. It does kind of cook through batteries though. With rechargable batteries this isn't my main issue. The issue is that the scroll wheel does not work well. It jumps like a madman. Scrolling down causes the mouse to go a little bit down the page before jumping back up and stopping your scroll momentum even if you are scrolling quickly. This makes web browsing infuriating as I have to scroll a half dozen times or more just to move midway down a page. I have initiated a support request with steel series for a refund and will be purchasing a corsair mouse when (or if....) I am refunded. Before you ask, I reset the mouse, have changed the windows setting for scrolling items per click, there are no updates for the mouse, there are no updates for my pc, and I have used compressed air and needle nose tweezers to clean the scroll wheel area. I have also tried holding the dpi button for a few seconds which seems to sometimes be a bandaid fix, only for the issue to come back hours or even minutes later. Defective.

Overall I am very happy with this mouse. Coming from a rival 500 wired i miss all the buttons sometimes but I bought this for basic work and gaming without macros. I am giving 4 stars because I have to play around with the connection selector sometimes when i start up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been by far one of my favorite mice to use in a long time. I like how clicky it is, how many customization options there are (including the color of the rgb scroll wheel), and the option to either connect via bluetooth or wireless dongle. It uses 2 AA batteries which are included in the box, and the software is smart enough when to put the mouse to sleep and when to wake it up (when any button is clicked). The SteelSeries Engine gives a whole bunch of options ranging from how the scroll wheel changes color (*note: in order to change the color of the scroll wheel, you need to connect the mouse using wireless. The settings will be saved if you decide to use bluetooth later) to how sensitive the mouse is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this Rival 3 wireless mouse for my son. He absolutely loves it. Works really well. Nice and easy smooth movements . Has a slick look. Fits perfect in the hand. Has a speed charger when you scroll. Great for gaming, school work and or work.
