SteelSeries - Rival 3 Wireless

How does the g502 compare to the g305 L? I didn't like the g305 and prefer the SteelSeries Rival 3 W, but maybe the g502 is a serious upgrade?

You hear a lot about Logitech mice but I didn't really like my G305 Lightspeed. Buttons felt like they had far too much travel and far too little resistance. I found myself hitting them when I didn't intend to and when I did want to hit them, sometimes I didn't press deep enough and it wouldn't click. Just my experience, maybe I bought the wrong Logitech mouse 🤷‍♂️ I've had plenty of mice in my hand, granted only a couple gaming mice, and I can't say I've liked the feel of any besides the SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless. It doesn't feel perfect, and I'm still looking for something that does feel perfect, but until I find an option around this price point, I'm going to keep buying these. I drove my first one straight into the grave with an absurd amount of hours. Straight-up unemployed type hours. I'm now on my second and I still like it. It works, it's cheap, and the software is functional 🤷‍♂️ Can't ask for much more than that imo Edit: Fun fact, I actually use an Elite Series 2 in my left hand for movement, instead of a keyboard lol. (No I don't get assist)

anything under 90 grams is perfectly fine unless you pure fingertip. shape matters but you don’t need a “perfect” shape, if it’s not uncomfortable you have no excuse to aim like shit literally anything post 3310 is perfectly fine, 1khz is perfectly fine, if you say you feel a huge difference you ARE schitzo lamzu thorn user btw swapped back to a rival 3 wireless recently and my aim was at the same level a couple of hours later.

Had a steelseries rival 3 wireless, it was crap and disappointing. I regret buying it.

Tbf I had a Rival 3 Wireless that died randomly. But before that I had a Zowie (FK2-C maybe?) and the logitech has very similar build quality and weight balance

If these two mice are your only choice get the rival 3 wireless gen 2 it has 2.4ghz and Bluetooth feature while the g305 only has 2.4ghz mode and also has a better battery life. The rival 3 gen 2 is bigger than the g305.

I used to have an expensive rival which broke relatively easily. Downgraded to rival 3 wireless recently and within a month I can't take it anymore. It disconnects from the pc constantly with minimal interference, buying batteries is a hassle and costs more than it's worth. I turned off the garbage RGB but when it was on it would light up like a christmas tree every two seconds to let you know the battery remaining which was fucking annoying too. Inexpensive and solid design but man it's a shit mouse.

Anything with 2 side buttons is more than enough. I use a £30 Steelseries rival wireless and it’s fantastic. I have massive hands (think basketball player) and it fits fine

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

The design has already been done for other mice that weren't advertised as ambidextrous, so it might get confusing for some people to suddenly call designs that are symmetrical but not have the "waist" as ambidextrous too. Cases in point: Logitech G305, Razer Orochi V2, SteelSeries Rival 3, Corsair M75. Currently the term ambidextrous mouse refers to mice with the concave thumbrests on both sides. >What are your thoughts on this? I’d love to hear other opinions. Stop looking at the marketing material terminology and look at the picture of the mouse and the measured dimensions to know if you'd like the shape.

I recently got the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro and comparing your hand placement our hands are almost exactly the same size - it works perfectly well for me. One difference, the second/third picture your 3rd finger folding down by the side of the mouse feels very un natural for me so it may simply be how you grip the mouse. I dont know if they still make it anymore but I used to use the Steelseries Rival (3 I think) and that was slightly bigger than any other mainstream mouse I've used.
