Holistic Performance

Everything from the shape to the software Steel Series provides, to the durability and reliability of this mouse is great. When I needed a new mouse after going a while without a computer, I immediately went back to this bad boy.

I love it

I really like this mouse. The settings for the DPI are very adjustable and easy to change with the SteelSeries app. I love the colors which match my Alienware desktop PC colors that change as well. The buttons click easy and I have no complaints.

Great budget mouse

I used to use the wired Rival 3 mouse and loved it. I heard about the wireless one and decided to give it a shot. It's fantastic so far. Great battery life, nice construction, feels great in the hand, and it's only $50!

Great but bad engine.

Great wired mouse. I use it for daily gaming and works great. the Steel Series Engine is buggy which is the only downside. Bigger hands might struggle with the size. I was expecting it to be a bit bigger but it works great non the less.
