Review on SteelSeries Rival 3 Gaming Mouse - TrueMove Core Optical Sensor up to 8,500 CPI - 6 Programmable Buttons - Split Trigger Buttons - Vibrant Prism RGB Lighting by Bambang ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but you can do better.

Average mouse. Without jambs that are exceptionally sturdy, but also without any clear advantages. The shape of the mouse does not conform to any particular ergonomic standard. It's not going to fit in your huge hand. The side keys are quite narrow and pointed. Although getting used to them could become second nature, doing so is a painful experience. When we get down to the level of nitpicking, there is also the matter of the backlight's implementation. Lacking the ability to adjust the level of brightness as well as the capability to automatically turn off the backlight (along with the monitor) when the power conservation mode is activated. Yet, this is merely a point of contention because the hand still fully obscures all of this stunning illumination when it is being used. As a result, it can be permanently switched off without causing any kind of discomfort, and then forgotten about altogether.

Pros
  • no special.
Cons
  • a lighting that does not have an adjustable brightness setting; side keys that are quite uncomfortable and narrow
