    Solid All-Around Mouse for ~$30

    Picked up this mouse recently to replace a similarly priced 'gaming mouse' from major online retailer. I have been on-board with the SteelSeries brand accessories for the past several years, and this mouse has been just right for the job. At <$30 on-sale, this wired mouse has nice RGB features and software capabilities to save profiles and modify button layouts. With this mouse performance feeling solid so far, I definitely am including SS in my list of peripheral makers/brands alongside Logitech and MSoft.

    Affordable Precision: Gaming Mouse

    The SteelSeries Rival 3 gaming mouse is an excellent choice for gamers on a budget. Its lightweight design and ergonomic shape make it comfortable for long gaming sessions. The customizable RGB lighting adds a touch of style to your setup. With a high-precision sensor and customizable DPI settings, it offers accurate tracking and responsiveness. The six programmable buttons provide versatility for different game genres. However, it lacks some advanced features found in more expensive models. Overall, the Rival 3 offers solid performance at an affordable price, making it a great value for budget-conscious gamers.

    This mouse is very solidly built and fits perfectly in my hand. The mouse is very responsive (almost too responsive, I had to lower the mouse sensitivity settings on my computer) and the buttons are rather satisfying to click. I mean, there really isn't much you can say about a mouse, either it works well or it doesn't, and this one works well and is comfortable to boot.

    This mouse is a solid, lightweight wired mouse. Has a good feel, high DPI capability. Very good for the price. I use it for CAD design. Easy to adjust DPI.

    Very reasonably priced depending on what you’re looking for. Easy to install, works great with my MSI gaming laptop. I love the changing colors on the mouse and that the cord is long enough for movement.

    Works better than expected for a mouse at this price point. Switches are decently reactive and the weight feels pretty good when making precise movements. Would be fine for casual gaming, the only annoying part is having to have software to use it, however, thankfully it has many settings to program through the software including the LED's and you do not have to register to use it. No confusing button layouts to hit by accident (looking at you 502 hero) that will change the dpi settings to where you have to find your user manual to put back to your preferences. The LED range is quite nice and reaches a smooth matte look, or can be turned off if you don't like having a laser light show in your office/media room. If you're looking for something to feel decent for less than $35, I would definitely choose this mouse. Switches feel similar to the Logitech g502 hero, I have not opened it up yet, but I would not be surprised if they were the same.

    The mouse itself works well. It's a mouse and it does mouse things. I do like having the extra 2 side buttons, they come in handy all the time. But I did have a few problems with it 1. The paint chips easily, so if you're not careful you wind up with some white showing and it really stands out 2. There's not many dpi options so for shooter video games it's not the best 3. The mouse started failing to register clicks after only 10 months. If you want a simple mouse and don't want to spend too much, it's passable. But spending a bit more money would get you a lot more value.

    The SteelSeries Rival 3 gaming mouse is lit! It's super lightweight, so it's easy to move around fast in games. The RGB lights are awesome and make it look really cool. The clicks are super smooth, and it feels great in my hand. If you need a new gaming mouse, this one is totally awesome!

    Steelseries makes really good quality mouses and for the budget prices they are really good with the games I play which consists of FPS titles. The click switches don't wear out and last a lot longer than other mouses I've tried like the logitech G502. g502 is a great mouse but the switches wear out faster. To sum it up, I'd reccomend getting this mouse

    Inexpensive mouse that gives you good quality for price. I got this mouse for around $25. These products can reach $150 easy. I know I might be missing out on some features but it works well and has two extra keys that I have been utilizing.
