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.

If you're looking for a basic gaming mouse, go for this one. Its by far the best basic cheap gaming mouse you could ever get. Worth every penny. I got this a year ago and its still working without any problems.
Fits my hand perfectly and it has no delays

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.

This is basically the rival 100/110 except better in some ways. This mouse have comfort grooves that makes the mouse somewhat easier to hold, it doesn't have the plastic "grip" on the sides, but instead a matte texture on the sides, which I really like. The mouse has better RGB compared to the old rival 100/110, and it's just really cool in general. Lastly, the mouse feet feels just as fine, if not better than the rival 100/110. However, the main cons about this mouse is that the side buttons got smaller compared to the rival 100/110, which makes it harder to press. Also, the lift off distance is somewhat high (about 2 mm high), which could interfere gaming performance, but that's just personal preference. Overall, good mouse for a budget price.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS STEELSERIES RIVAL 3 WIRED OPTICAL GAMING MOUSE WITH BRILLIANT PRISM RGB LIGHTING AND I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH IT. I HAVE PURCHASED A FEW DIFFERENT MOUSES IN THE PAST, BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE ONE. I LOVE THE EASE AND ALSO THE DIFFERENT COLORS IT FLASHES. I HAVE PAID LESS IN THE PAST, BUT THIS IS MY FAVORITE. I EVEN FOUND MYSELF RETURNING MY PREVIOUS PURCHASE OF A BLUETOOTH CHEAPER ONE AND REPLACED IT WITH THIS ONE.

This is a simple, basic gaming mouse. I purchased it for my secondary rig, and the price was the main motivator. It is reasonably comfortable to use, and the RGB light is well done without being obnoxious. I am grateful it functions well without needing to install the bloated driver software.

I hardly know anything about mice, much less ones for gaming, but as a beginner I can say that I love this mouse. It's easy to use straight out of the box, or you can adjust the settings quite simply too. Despite knowing nothing I was able to quickly customize it and it works great! Also, the price is unbeatable.

Got this along with the apex 3 keyboard since I like to have it matching and so far no regrets on the purchase. I did have to adjust the setting to fit my preferences but it was very easy to do and understand. I think my hands are on the medium larger size and they fit good on the mouse without pressing on the side buttons on accidents. The set up was easy as well, just pulled out the box which was very minimal but efficient, connected it and tada. I have the app already downloaded since I have the keyboard and just fixed my setting and I was ready to go.

Great quality for the cost. If you prefer a wired mouse at a good deal, look no further. This mouse is lightweight, the 3 rgb zones on it is awesome, and the steelseries software is user friendly and allows full customization of keys, rgb and the creation of mulitple profiles.

I love this thing. My girlfriend made fun of me for buying a mouse with a cord, but jokes on her cus she’s already lost her Bluetooth one twice and I have never lost this thing lol. It’s runs great, not laggy or sticky, and I can customize the colors. Splendid!!!

This is the first quality mouse that I have found in a while that did not break the bank. The glow adds a nice touch and it isn't too bright or outlandish like some of the otheres I've bought. The scroll wheel is also very smooth and doesn't make too much noise, if any at all. May have found a mouse I'm willing to stick with in the long run.

Great mouse, but frequently needs re-plugging

The single biggest problem I have with this mouse is that it often doesn't get acknowledged by my computer if I don't unplug it and replug it after startup. I cannot move or even see a cursor, and the mouse buttons don't work. No other mouse I've ever used, wired or wireless and despite also changing USB ports, has this problem. (I do like this mouse's cable length and how it has a piece of material attached that makes keeping the cable tied up very easy.)
When it works, the mouse itself is excellent — I especially love the tiny button below the scroll wheel that can be toggled to vastly increase sensitivity, zooming the cursor around the screen — and the RGB lighting, which you can control with complementary software that installs when the mouse is plugged in and can be uninstalled without making the mouse unusable, is a very neat feature even if I found it distracting and turned it off.
I do like the ranges of customization. The RGB feature is controlled by a "Rival 3" app that allows you to adjust the lighting on three different zones around the mouse - near the buttons; near the back; and around the back and on the logo. All of these zones can have their lighting individually customized ("steady," "color shift," and "multi-color breathe") and individually disabled. Color-Shift is especially impressive since you can determine not just what colors and brightness saturations fit your mouse's personal rainbow but what order they flow through.
The buttons themselves seem high-quality — I once had a budget Logitech whose middle mouse button frequently wouldn't work without a lot of effort — and the back/forward buttons on the left side are small and unintrusive.

The sensor in this mouse is great. I play a lot of fps games and the tracking is great. If you get the Steelseries software you can customize the RGB lights as well as macros. Only complaints are the side buttons and right side of mouse. The side buttons are nice feeling but too small. This mouse is ambidextrous, but the right side is too steep of a curve. I'm right handed and find that the curve starts to dig into my pinkie based off where it rests. Kinda depends on how you hold a mouse though. Great mouse though, love it for gaming.
