SteelSeries - Rival 3 Gaming Mouse

G305 - still solid - maybe not for large hands Asus gladius 2 - suitable for palm grip, even has hotswap Steelseries rival 3 wired is all I can think of atm, just don't do the "flashy rgb with shitty internals" thing.

I love steelseries prime's shape and sensor but it's skates are outdated. For Rival 3, I think that it's click and sensor latency are bad and skates are outdated on this gaming mouse too.

Got a rival 3 wired to replace my old Logitech g pro wireless. A quarter the cost and I'd argue performance is on par. Only criticism so far is that the most 5 button kind of sucks.

Was one of the first mice i ever bought the steelseries rival 3 wired a long time ago unfortunately clicking issues started and i had to bin it after nearly 2 years currently using the atk u2 plus chinese clone of the zowie u2 and its amazing

Been using a Kone Air Pro for almost 2 years now and love it. They make a corded version you can buy on amazon from the manufacturer direct as well for less than 40 and on sale recently was 21.99 (turtle beach as they have dropped the Roccat line branding though they have always been the actual makers/owners). Logitech has wheel and button click issues these days and it drives many of us nuts. The G502 is abysmal for everyday use with the cord. and both wireless and corded suffer from the pointed left and right mouse pad clickers. Feels like cheap garbage and honestly has no reason to be like that at all imho. YMMV SteelSeries used to make some very affordable mid tier mice that were fairly competitive and had basic but functional software for tuning them. I owned the Rival 3, 1st gen and it was a good one until it died just 7mo into it. At the time it was a $99 dollar mouse. The new versions are redone but have not used them. They do a some theme branded stuff for high dollar, Diablo 4/ WoW etc. for 149.99 if you are into that stuff. Glorius Model D is as good and you can by them refurbished to new for 15.99 on amazon direct from manufacturer. Actually very good for FPS /Shooter games. Not as good as the Model O but for the price very hard to beat. Lots of other high end and boutique gaming mice but i am a bit frugal unless the product is just superior for durability/function many are also quite good. If you have a best-buy, or Micro center or similar place with mice on display to use and feel i suggest that, it can help a great deal. good luck Cheers!

My thoughts as well. I'm actually astounded SteelSeries isn't anywhere to be seen. I've been using a $30 Rival 3 / 300 for ~7 years at this point and it has been the most rock solid mouse I've ever used. I've got a few friends who took my recommendation years ago as well and similarly none of them have had any problems with their mice. I suppose it's all subjective to a point at the end of the day, and I can't speak for or against their present day build quality either as I've never had to replace it.

9k hours, got a wired steelseries rival 3 gen 2. It has 1.35ms response and its freakin fast

Recently got my first Pulsar mouse and love it a lot. I also like the shape of the Steelseries Rival 3/5 quite a bit. Razer Mamba is my fave from them. Honestly Logitech g502 has too much for me. It has a learning curve to stop misclicking. If you share your PC with a non-gamer prepare to have them change the DPi constantly too.

Same. Had a Rival 100 from 2016 to 2024 and now I'm using a Rival 3

Steelseries Rival 3. Been using it for a year now. Before that I had Rival 100, which lasted almost 8 years and was pretty much the same thing. I just like the shape

I don’t know much about mouses but I use the rival 3, it’s a cheap and reliable mouse (20$) that feels like good quality
