Product details

With the same innovative technology as the Pro line of gaming products, including brilliant Prism lighting, a performance-oriented sensor, and extreme durability, the Rival 3 is fully designed for gaming.

Enjoy true 1-to-1 tracking with a lightweight sensor specifically designed for the Rival 3. With a CPI range of 100 to 8,500 CPI (Counts Per Inch), your gameplay will be more precise, faster, and more consistent.

Made with high-quality polymers and the same 60-million-click switches as the most expensive mice, every single component is built from the ground up for maximum durability and years of longevity.

Lightweight materials and an ergonomic shape help minimize strain on your hand and shoulder, allowing for hours of intense gaming sessions.

With built-in memory, you can save polling rates, button mappings, and 5 CPIs directly on the mouse, ensuring you have the right settings ready for each game—even on the go.

The Steelseries Engine software gives you access to a comprehensive arsenal of Engine Apps, allowing you to easily and intuitively customize the RGB lighting across three zones. The apps enable chat notifications, in-game events, and more.

The right-handed design of the Rival 3 caters to players with the highest comfort demands. Whether you hold the mouse in a claw grip or a fingertip grip, the shape provides perfect comfort for long and intense gaming sessions.

The additions to the SteelSeries mouse portfolio have it all. The wireless version of the Rival 3 scores with good battery life, a powerful sensor and flawless wireless transmission. For 59.99 euros, you actually get a surprising amount of mouse for your money. The only thing we didn't like was the loud right-hand stop of the mouse buttons during hard clicks...
