The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

Batteries instead of a battery, not very good for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ For 3k it was possible to make software for a penguin (linux)

Pros
  • Nice stuff. 2 way wireless connection. Excellent sensor, I couldn't rip :) The mouse itself is made very compactly, i. E. you can pack 2 batteries and a dongle into the mouse itself. For a laptop that constantly travels somewhere - a must have. Monolithic assembly
Cons
  • Loud click, no software for linux/raspberry. No wired mode.

Good product, I recommend that you try it.

Connected it on 3 computers. At first I connected via 2.4, it worked for a while and turned off, then it connected only via bluetooth. On the other computer did not connect at all. On the third computer (laptop) it works but sometimes it does not connect to 2.4. You have to restart the computer and then everything is fine.

Pros
  • Pleasant coverage (a little rough), small size, price, choice of 2.4 or bluetooth connection.
Cons
  • Doesn't always connect to computer.

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

Cons
  • - No accurate battery indicator

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

The mouse is great. Perfect size for medium hands. The backlight is adjustable (rgb slider). You can set the shutdown time. Only the operating time is disappointing - about two weeks on 2 energizer batteries (backlight on). So 4 points

Pros
  • Ergonomics Weight Various settings via the Steelseries utility
Cons
  • Battery life

Unsatisfactory, upset by this product.

. The market has not yet returned the money, although their online seller has already confirmed everything and approved the return. Different pros: The manipulator worked, profiles were configured, silks are pleasant. Has some cons: The button broke 2 months before the end of the warranty. I took it in for service and they offered me a refund.

Well globally normal Has some pros: Yuzayu not for games, for work. Comfortable in the hand, nice glow. You can customize a lot. Got cons: Batteries. Relatives keep the charge for a month, cheap ones are planted in a week. (With daily 8 hour use) There is no way to use the battery. (I used the mode through the USB feature)

I’ve been using it for a month. In general, I’m satisfied. It’s too soft on my big paw (19 cm). But I got used to it very quickly. The side buttons are not very well “read” with my thumb. In games, I often press both. . With the mouse, I immediately boiled a couple of batteries of 850 mah. I thinned it out a couple of times and put them in as expected. With one battery, it will just work half as long, I’ll upset you. With one battery, it somehow didn’t work at all. For some reason, it stopped…

Pros
  • 1. lack of "screaming" RGB backlight. 2. Convenient shape. 3. price (bought on black Friday for 3800) 4. lack of rubber pads, which will definitely come off sooner or later.
Cons
  • The manufacturer's lies about the duration of work from one battery.

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

in my opinion very good value for money. The assembly of the case is just excellent, at least while it is new, there is nothing to complain about. Glides are average, but you can't call them bad either. I use a wireless connection for games, but I would recommend switching to BT if you just want to work, as it really saves batteries. Satisfied, I use it, no complaints.

Pros
  • symmetrical, pleasant switch clicks, in-app settings
Cons
  • buttons rattle a bit when dropped on carpet

Bought online based on good reviews and rave reviews. Having tried it in practice, everything turned out to be not so great. Firstly, since the mouse is a gaming one, it was used for its intended purpose, while the set of batteries was not enough for a week, and secondly, due to the far-positioned wheel, full scrolling did not work (in games, this is important), although the mouse itself is not long (strange imbalance). The same with the side buttons . - in order to reach the far button with…

Pros
  • The shape of the mouse is comfortable, well-made, from high-quality materials.
Cons
  • Gliding on the mat is mediocre, it eats batteries quickly, the side buttons and the scroll wheel are strongly shifted to the front edge.

The product is really good, I'm glad I bought it.

In general, a very good option for your money. Got pros: Excellent sensor, undemanding to the quality of the surface. Replaceable standard format batteries - always available and easy to replace. Not covered with "soft touch" rubber, which softens everywhere after a couple of years and begins to peel off. Extensive customization options through software. Has cons: Batteries die out very quickly. A pair of 1000mAh batteries is not enough for a week. I always have a second set of charged…

Average purchase, there are some things to complain about.

A great mouse for everything from shooters to design work. Even despite the fact that the wheel quickly died and the mouse is eating a charge. If the wheel did not fail, then the iron 5 stars. Different pros: Convenient, accurate, accurate, light. The hand is 19.5x11, it is pleasant for the hand, perfect for the finger grip. The buttons and the wheel click perfectly, the move is just what you need. Has cons: The wheel encoder began to fail in less than a year. If you buy on alik and solder a…

In general, I am very pleased with the mouse. If the battery life was really 400 hours, then this mouse would be the best for me. There was a "problem" with the wifi module. I first plugged the adapter into the port from the motherboard (the computer is 20 cm from the carpet with the mouse) and almost immediately signal interference was noticed in the cop. The "problem" was solved very easily, I plugged the adapter into the case usb port; it’s not clear what it was connected with, maybe the…

Pros
  • I switched to this mouse from a larger corsair glaive rgb, got used to the new dimensions in a day. The mouse suits me well, the palm size is 19 cm, after all, big mice are a bit not for me. The quality of the plastic is good, the mouse is easy to clean. The sensor is clear, no breakdowns have been found yet, if they are, I will supplement the review. Personally, it is important for me to have a replaceable power source, everything is in order with this, the mouse runs on 2 AAA batteries. I will buy batteries for it in the future.
Cons
  • Hours were disappointing. With the supplied duracell batteries, the mouse worked for 5 days for 8 hours of intensive use. Now there are batteries also from duracell, for 2 days of use 1 division in the program took (there are 3 in total). The side buttons are very easy to press and do not really have tactile feedback. My personal drawback, the sound from the wheel is comparable to a mouse for 300.

Don't take this product! Of the representative gives such recommendations: delete their application and clean the registry! (more than a year they don't do anything!) Of the representative gives recommendations - if you use a Bluetooth headset, this may interfere with the operation of the mouse !? I want to ask - Of the representative are you out of your mind?

Pros
  • Didn't like anything!
Cons
  • Destroys batteries in 2 days! Connection drops out all the time!

Has some pros: ►Price ►wireless operation ► comfortable shape, fits well in the hand ►additional buttons ► management software Got cons: ► if you install batteries, then the charge is enough for a long time with batteries, probably for 1-2 weeks of average use

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

The mouse is comfortable, even with a large palm quickly adapted. on different rugs it behaves a little differently, the sensor works differently on different surfaces. The software is convenient, but it only works over the air. as a lover of mice it’s harder, I only have the plus that you can put two batteries and have more weight. Different pros: Pleasant to the touch, not bright backlight. The software is convenient Its cons: Not that it's a drawback, but I would like a built-in battery pack

Good value for money, I recommend it.

The mouse has been in use for about six months. Used mainly for games, so it did not work so tightly. So far, nothing has happened to the mouse for the entire period, it has never fallen off via bluetooth and a whistle, the plastic has not rubbed off, the legs have not been worn out. But 5k is expensive for her, snatched for 3k, she beats this price Has some pros: The mouse is solidly assembled, does not play, there is a mode of operation via bluetooth and via a Wi-Fi whistle. Has cons…

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…

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
