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 Agung Casanova ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

In general - I recommend, if you do not pay attention to the button under the mouse wheel (see above)! Some pros: One such baby made a greater impression on me and provided both physical and psychological comfort than my previous Rival 310 and Rival 600! It is moderately modest, but personally for my hand - incredibly comfortable! The wheel is gorgeous, so far I don’t observe any backlashes and squeaks. By comparison, on previous mice, the wheel poked left and right, then it rattled when scrolling, the rubber bands all successfully peeled off, the separation height failed, the buttons loosened over time, regular twisting of the pressure plates was required. Here, for now, the flight is normal! The mouse glides across the SteelSeries carpet like clockwork! The backlight is just brilliant. Probably the most successful of all mice from the SteelSeries line, especially for such and such a price. Its cons: This model has one very inconspicuous drawback. I looked at three packed mice in all it was the same thing. The button under the wheel is pressed ahead of time, if it is very weak and gentle to hold it and try to move the mouse around the screen in the browser, for example. If it's normal to press the button with medium force - everything is ok. If you press straight well (throwing grenades in games, for example) - everything is also ok. It seems that this is a defect of the mouse itself, since out of three mice the problem area is clearly in one place - this is hardly a marriage. The fact is that I usually test mice for double clicks with such smooth "push-offs" of buttons when buying. And this situation is only with the wheel button. Again, during normal operation, it does not manifest itself at all. In general, as I understand it, the situation with mice is such a specific lottery. On one copy, the wheel works fine and quietly, on the other, it makes noise and rumbles when scrolling back and forth. One thing I can say for sure, the assembly itself is excellent on all the copies that I have seen, but the wheel click on all the copies is inadequate. Well, it should not be such that when lightly pressing and holding the middle mouse button and scrolling through the browser, the button makes double clicks. I repeat - on ALL copies. SteelSeries made a GORGEOUS mouse, but with the wheel they screwed up SPECIFICALLY =/.
