Despite the rather restrained design, we actually have a fairly advanced gaming mouse that can serve as a good choice for computer games of almost any genre and direction. The device has a height of 22 mm, so it is perfect for gamers with claw and finger grip. The model is made of high-strength materials in black colour and is equipped with 5 keys, designed for 60 million keystrokes.
Backlighting with effects "dilutes" the classic design and makes the device more attractive in the eyes of gamers. The SteelSeries Rival 3 mouse uses optical technology and connects to a PC or laptop using a 1.8 m flexible cable via a classic USB interface. The functions of additional buttons can be programmed at the discretion of the user, and the commands can be stored in internal memory, which allows you to use the mouse on different computers without overwriting the settings.
Among other things, the mouse boasts high maximum values of acceleration and cursor movement — 35 G and 7.62 m / s, which makes it very "explosive" and manoeuvrable. For some games this is a significant advantage, for others it is a disadvantage, but by adjusting the sensor resolution in the range of 100-8500 dpi, the speed and sensitivity can be changed. This means that the mouse is versatile and suitable for games of any genre.

One of the best mice under $50
Over the past couple of years, we have tested quite a few gaming mice for a wide variety of tastes and budgets. And even after that, SteelSeries Rival 3 managed to impress. Perhaps this is one of the best game controllers in the category under $50. As in other mice from the Danish manufacturer, the proprietary TrueMove sensor is used here. In this particular case, TrueMove Core with an impressive 8500 DPI sensitivity and a maximum acceleration of 35G. Purely in numbers, this is one of the most serious sensors in the category under $50, and in fact it does not fail: for the entire time of the tests, we did not manage to cause the cursor to stall. It's not for nothing that SteelSeries boasts of "true tracking" and even says that the sensor's capabilities exceed the needs of most gamers.
Excellent ergonomics and balance
Now about ergonomics. A slight bulge on the back creates good support, and the length of the mouse is suitable for almost any type of grip. The mouse is not too heavy, but not too light, suitable for both left-handers and right-handers. However left-handers will be left without a couple of additional buttons on the left side. 77 grams of weight are optimally distributed across the body and axles, creating a sense of proper balance. He took it in his hand and as if she had always been lying there, the hand does not strain at all. Well, and most importantly, unlike previous versions of Rival, the third reincarnation does not have such slippery sides. And in general, the impression of ergonomics is more pleasant than that of the SteelSeries Rival 110.
Really useful RGB lighting
Other advantages of the SteelSeries Rival 3 include reinforced main switches with a resource of 60 million clicks, excellent build quality, and a wheel, as well as proprietary software with a bunch of settings and a couple of unique features. In particular, it allows you to make the RGB backlight of the mouse not just a decoration, but a useful tool. For example, blinking when receiving messages in Discord or signaling that the character in the game has little health and my friend is about to die. Unlike the same SteelSeries Rival 110, the LEDs are hidden along the body, under the wheel and under the company logo, so visual signals are visible even when the hand completely covers the mouse along with the logo. Definitely, three zones of independent lighting are better than one.
