Review on SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless Gaming Mouse, Black by Mateusz Jamroz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Previously, he owned a first-generation Steelseries Sensei mouse, on which during use (from 2022 to 2022) they staggered - the wire, the left button switch (changed 2 times), the metallic paint peeled off at the edges. Compared to the Sensei, the Rival 3 Wireless is slightly smaller in all respects, measuring < 6mm in length, < 1mm in height, and < 2mm in width, which isn't super critical. Sensei also had a problem with turning off after a static discharge. This is when a child runs around the sofa, then touches you and a discharge occurs and the mouse passes out. This is treated by disconnecting / connecting the USB cable of the mouse. In winter and when working remotely, this problem is very relevant. I associate such a joke with the coating of the first Sensei (but this is not accurate). Given the above breakdowns and jambs of Sensei, I plan that they will not be on this mouse for the following reasons: 1. The wire won't break because it doesn't exist. 2. Buttons for this mouse are more modern (my hopes ^_^). 3. The paint won't peel off because it's dull black. The coating here is not so glossy, which I think is also a plus. Feels like a tighter grip. In general, I basically picked up a mouse without a wire. I stopped at this one due to the presence in the offline store. It turned out to be very successful, especially pleased with the absence of extra flashing lights and fakes. With a single LED in the wheel. On Sensei, I used the screen and control through it only a couple of times. As a result, I did all the management through the SteelSeries Engine proprietary application. Later I will add information about autonomy. noticed that in CS GO the color in the wheel changes depending on HP (From green to red, as in the CSGO interface)

Pros
  • - No wire - Color - Non-glossy finish - Customizability - Minimum LEDs - The presence of the function to turn off the LED when moving the mouse
Cons
  • - the click is a bit stiffer compared to the Sensei (a matter of habit) - lack of LiftDistance in the parameters, previously used on Sensei. For several games, I already got used to it without him. - less slippery glide compared to Sensei
