SteelSeries Rival 3 Gaming Mouse - 8,500 CPI TrueMove Core Optical Sensor - 6 Programmable Buttons - Split Trigger Buttons - Brilliant Prism RGB Lighting, Ergonomic, Black

Im gonna buy it again because The SteelSeries Rival 3 gaming mouse is an excellent choice for both casual and serious gamers. The build feels solid and comfortable, fitting well in hand for long gaming sessions. Its performance is impressive for the price — the 8,500 CPI sensor tracks smoothly and accurately with minimal lag, making aiming and movement feel responsive and precise. Buttons are tactile and well‑placed, and the overall design is simple but functional. Setup was plug‑and‑play with no issues, and it worked perfectly right out of the box. Great value for the performance you get — a reliable, high‑quality gaming mouse well worth purchasing.

Quality is pretty good. Can change the DPI having lot of profiles, changing RGB. I love steelseries products!

I'll be honest, I have rage issues when it comes to gaming and technology. Regardless of that this mouse lasted me AGES before I finally had to replace it. The settable DPI with a mouse press is excellent, it was as responsive as you'd desire from a gaming mouse, and it felt great in my hand. The colors were fabulous when I wanted to use them as well and easy to turn off.

The Steel Series gaming peripherals have been staples for the last few years. They're solidly built, work right out of the box, and are responsive as anyone can wish for. They were close to the apex accessories of the time, and still live firmly near the top even years later. The Steel Series Rival 3 is one such mouse. It's solid, smooth, responsive, ergonomic, and has just enough weight to not be classed like one of those cheap knock-offs while still being light enough to move fluidly with the lightest touch. A true gem. Adding in the effective placement of the two thumb buttons, this mouse has remarkable use as a general utility mouse while still maintaining just enough flexibility to conquer gaming with ease. That isn't to say it has no flaws. As it is several years old now, the software to customize and enable other features is no longer supported (or even easily obtainable). One of the pivotal attractions of gaming mice is such customization and lighting options, of which one must now look for external solutions. It, for example, does have LED lighting modes... but the only mode directly usable out of the box is a slow RGB glow that cycles through the spectrum. No 'team colors' or 'flashing rave' options here. You can't even adjust the brightness without the software and external programs are required to re-assigning the extra buttons or adding macros. Overall, an absolutely wonderful mouse, but without its software support, that's all it is: a wonderful mouse rather than a phenomenal piece of computer engineering.

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! )

I'd been using a $6 mouse prior to this purchase, that $6 mouse tracked well on any surface, had presets for DPI that you could swap through, and lasted for 7 yrs. I'm not including it in name because that mouse is no longer sold. When it finally bit the dust on me, I found myself wanting something nicer quality, there was a limit on how many inputs the old mouse could handle simultaneously that had made it feel limiting sometimes while gaming. To address this, I thought I'd buy this gaming mouse with it's fancy sensor and most importantly higher simultaneous input limit. However, I also was using mouse pads from the late 90s and in being old they had scratches on them that caused my new mouse to track inconsistently out of the box. My best guess as to the cause was that it's a result of the mouse reading the scratches in their surface as me lifting the mouse to readjust, which caused the mouse to not read directional input until it was back down against the pad. This is a feature and I don't fault the design, but I did have to buy a new mousepad to make this mouse functional for me, while these old pads still work perfectly fine for a less sensitive mouse. 4 stars for ergonomics because it is smaller than average so not for people with big hands.

This is the best mouse for the price point, but it's not perfect. Pros: -Great brand -Solid construction -Great price -Enough productivity/macro buttons for average gaming Having the two side buttons, and a re-programmable center button is really nice for a variety of tasks. When I used to play MOBA games it was nice to have a couple keys mapped there, but now that I am primarily working with the mouse I map Enter and Delete. The buttons have a nice tactile press, and hold up quite well. Cons: -A bit on the small side, acceptable for claw grip on larger hands. -Not Mac or Linux native friendly (you can still customize it) -Hard to clean/upkeep This is the second time I've purchased a SteelSeries Rival mouse, as the first one became impossible to maintain after about 6 years of use. In my case, dust that managed to sneak into the mouse wheel area was impossible to remove without disassembly. After fixing that issue, the left mouse button's contact never quite lined up.

I like to use a wired mouse, no worries about charging. The mouse feels good and I really like how it fits my hand and can use both left or right hands. It moves great on the desk or desk pad. Liked it so well purchased another one for downstairs.

Se siente super cómodo, es ligero se siente de muy buena calidad, el software de steelseries GG te permite cambiar los niveles de CPI, velocidad de respuesta incluso la aceleración, y el RGB configurable es super bonito, lo único malo es que no le puedes bajar el nivel/intensidad de brillo y es bastante brillante pero se ve hermoso, éste mouse me gustó mucho más que el razer viper mini el cual si es un poco más ligero pero tambien se siente más frágil, y el cable del rival 3 a pesar de ser de plástico se siente mucho mejor que el del razer de tela el cual esába bastante duro, y que decir del software, mucho menos molesto el software de steelseries pues puedes instalarlo o no a tu gusto y el de razer se te intenta descargar en automático además de que si no lo usaba o lo actualizaba el mouse empezaba funcionar mal por alguna razón, además de que no me duró el año completo y ya estaba defectuoso de la rueda, le doy 5/5 Estrellas al Rival 3 y 3/5 Estrellas al Viper Mini

Great quality for a mouse that is priced quite affordably. Thoroughly satisfied with the performance and durability of the product.

Same shape as my old mouse Steelseries Rival 100 which made me feel right at home. Mouse looks better and is reliable. I am very happy with the price i bought it at.

Beğendim, oldukça kaliteli. İlk başlarda oturana kadar bir takım tıkırdamalar mevcuttu fakat kullandıkça kayboldu. Elinize aldığınızda sağlamlığı hissedeceksiniz.

Uso il SteelSeries Rival 3 da qualche mese mi ha colpito per il suo ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Il sensore ottico da 8.500 CPI offre una precisione eccellente per il gaming, anche competitivo, e si comporta molto bene anche nell’uso quotidiano. È un mouse leggero e comodo, perfetto per chi preferisce impugnature claw o fingertip. I 6 tasti programmabili sono facilmente personalizzabili tramite il software SteelSeries Engine, utile anche per gestire l’illuminazione RGB, discreta ma d’effetto. I tasti principalihanno un buon feedback e sembrano resistenti nel tempo. Il cavo è rivestito in gomma, niente di eccezionale, ma abbastanza flessibile da non dare fastidio durante l’uso. L’estetica è semplice ma curata, e la costruzione solida, nonostante il peso contenuto. Funziona perfettamente su PC senza driver aggiuntivi, ma il software aggiunge un buon livello di personalizzazione.
