    The wire needs to be built a bit stronger, around the enter point from the mouse i can already see the wire do to wear and tear after 2 months.

    Worked fine for a few months, then the scroll wheel stopped functioning properly, I have to scroll extra slowly to get it to work because trying to scroll too quickly will cause my inputs to be ignored.

    I must admit I am very happy with the Steel Series 3 Rival Mouse. This is a nice simple mouse that works really well. It has satisfying clicks, great registration and easy to use. You need a mouse for gaming that is light, feels great (it is right handed) and is easy to use this is the mouse. SETUP: Nothing fancy, plug it in to a USB port. Its a wired mouse and the wire is more then long enough to reach the back of my desktop to the front of my desk with plenty of slack. No wireless setup, just works. I enjoy that. You can install the software, which seems solid, easy to use and adjust your profiles. Additionally you can set config's with the software to executables/games making it easy to control profiles so you have one for Rocket League and another for Division 2 etc. I also did like the lighting options. If RGB lighting is your thing this has some newer and different options for RGB I haven't seen before which was a nice change in pace. If you aren't into RGB, which I totally understand, you can turn it off with a simple selection of disable RGB. Overall the software configuration and options for the mouse seem perfect without going crazy. Usage: While this mouse seemed at first a bit lighter then I liked I didn't have any issues. It glided across my desk and had no issues. The clicking is a great feeling and it was just a joy to use and concentrate on my game and not worry about the mouse, or more accurately I can't blame this mouse for my horrible game play. Its all me. That is great. Overall I'm very happy with this mouse. This mouse has won me over and I'm very happy with it. If you need a mouse for gaming, that doesn't require 30 buttons (you Moba guys) this is a great mouse and I have no reservation recommending this mouse. A solid product that does what you want. Get you into the game.
