## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this mouse auto-install an intrusive software suite or need the user to constantly be logged into an account, like Razer requires?**
A: Alright. Comprehensive answer time.
When it was initially released, it had a software suite that you needed to download to use all the fancy lighting options.
IT DOES NOT REQUIRE THIS TO FUNCTION as a mouse. You don't need to install any intrusive or annoying software. In fact, on many computers, the software has been upgraded to the point where you might not even be able to find a version that is still supported. Depending on how new your computer is, you might not need/want to install it anyway. It works as a good mouse and you can slave the buttons out just like any other human interface device from your system control panels.
If you WANT the suite, and your computer supports it, it's an easy download and the only intrusive things that will be installed are the ONES YOU CHOOSE TO INSTALL during the install... click a button, get a result. That's on you. But as far as annoying, memory hog, spyware and the like: no... you can do that if you want to by going looking for them, but those aren't required.

I'm literally using this mouse right now with nothing installed beyond the drivers that windows used to recognize it as a mouse. Works great. Only thing I can't do is have the LEDs stick on one color since I don't use the suite. Upside, the LEDs are there for show in the first place so the rainbow cycling isn't a fundamental issue.

**Q: Will this work on ps5?**
A: Yes

**Q: It feels fine to aim, but turning around fast and movement while looking like turning sharp corners feels really off. Suggestions?**
A: Most likely had angle enabled. Download the steel series software. And disable it. Also recommend disabling windows mouse acceleration aka precision. You want raw Input as a beginner to pc gaming.

**Q: If I have it plugged into my computer, will I need to replace batteries for the rgb?**
A: No

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid budget gaming mouse
*by M***N on November 6, 2020*

The media could not be loaded. For it's price, the performance is amazing. It works very well on many surfaces but has some issues on softer surfaces (such as a bedsheet, etc). On a mousepad, it glides and works well. It's a bit on the smaller side but I'm fine with that, works well with my big hands. Only one button for dpi/cpi switching. The software is well developed and optimized, with the ability to set and save different profiles (custom cpi/rgb, etc), the ability to work with different apps and games and have different parts of the mouse flash or change colors for a specific task/command. For example, I have it set so the logo flashes purple when I get a discord notification. Multiple rgb profiles, presets, and profiles with a plethora of color options. The 3 zones for rgb can each have their own lighting setup as well. Packaging was well designed as well. My only gripe or room for improvement is wishing it came with a strap to tie the cord together when set aside or traveling but those can be bought separately. Otherwise, a very solid mouse for the money, and would recommend for those who are looking for something that works well but doesn't break the bank or just beginning their setup.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WINNING!!! LOVE IT!!
*by S***E on July 13, 2022*

I wish I would of bought this mouse a looong time ago and even paid 30 bucks and now just18 bucks feels like I'm steeling it...HAAAA!!! The quick story is - by far my favorite mouse I've ever used!Detailed story -- I'm way older now and lost count of how many mouses I bought over the years, put it this way, I started playing Diablo when it first came out. So that gives you an idea of how many mouses I've been through, mostly stuck with logitech, but many other off brands too, and was always eyeballing the steelseries, and almost bought one last round but then I found some crazy cheap deal and decided to go with it, Boy am I kicking myself in the behind now, and thank you for the price drop, because this mouse feels like it was custom made for me. Keep in mind I'm average size person 6ft 190ibs average size hands I guess we can say, and as you can see in the pic it's my perfect hand size....perfecttttoooo! And I know I'm in a treehouse and using it on a barstool, but I've had a 100 mouses and none fit this perfect, feel so solid, with buttons that quietly give a perfect push and feedback, I've played with my buddies that pay crazy prices that I would never consider paying just to save a few grams....and I still like this one way better! All I can say is sorry steelseries, I wish I went with ya sooner, but we're connected now and I'll be a loyal fan. OHHH wait wait wait, I was so excited about that perfect fit, how could I forget to mention how freaking cool this lil light show is at night up in the tree-house, there again not overkill just perfect cool looking display! Thanks much steelseries for so much excitement in a mouse...HAAAA! CHEERS MATES!!!PS: YES, I would recommend this mouse! )

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best mouse to start if you want to increase your aim for a very low price
*by D***S on October 30, 2020*

Let me start with my hand size i have a big hand and i was in a battle searching for the best mouse possible but for a low price considering the sensor, hz and shape. i play with palm grip and this is more for people that play claw or fingertip well let me tell you that even me having big hands and my hand position is not the recommended for this mouse i was masochistic and bought it and wow really comfortable and really amazed me for a small mouse and is more big than the logitech G203 and feel more nicer for my hand i test the G203 and its feels like a toy in comparison with rival 3I improved in FPS even more in less than a week and for a $30 dollar mouse feels premium.Another think i want to mention is the steelseries app for the mouse really good and easy to use.overall if you want to play competitive games, improve your aim and want a comfortable mouse this is the way to go dont go with a viper mini if your like me with big hands your going to waste your money but not because the quality cuz for my opinion viper mini is so much better but not for people with big hands if you have the money for the standart viper go with that if not the rival 3 is the way.
