> 24 hourI really like how this feels in my hand. Usually, computer mice are too small for me, and they get lost in my hand, but this one fits my hand size. Its good for gaming since it has the standard two side buttons, plus a dpi button on the top. The software that comes with it is pretty neat, too, though I havent fully explored it. My only problem is that sometimes the left click will click twice when I only clicked once. Other than that, I have liked everything about this mouse. Including the mouse wheel, which I have had bad luck with mouse wheels in the past.

> 24 hourEDIT: For anyone having issues with double-clicking, try using the steelseries engine software and changing the click from play once to play N times, set N to 1, and set the pause time in ms to 1-5 depending on how bad your double-click is. The mouse itself is generally great, I bought it as a replacement for my 3 year old Rival 300 (which still works great besides the scroll-wheel double scrolling). Ive loved using it since it felt the same and worked well for the games I play (Halo, Apex Legends, League Of Legends, etc). However just a month or so after my warranty has run out the mouse has begun to double right-click, meaning if I rightclick the mouse tends to rightclick again and either cancel what Im doing (in a game aiming down sights or moving in MOBAS) or forcing me to do something I dont want to. The general fixes of using compressed air to clean it and clicking for 30 seconds have not fixed it and with a google search this issue is quite common amongst users. With prime you can get the mouse for just over 40, but I would be lying if I said that was a good price given how quickly this mouse fell apart. If you truly feel a need for this mouse let it go on a big discount or risk it falling apart quicker than its competitors.

> 24 hourLots of reasons to like this mouse. Its sized well for larger hands, and is ergonomically satisfying. The build quality and button action/feedback are great. The sensor has been very reliable. I think the sensor tracks great when playing fast fps, my mechanical skills have increased with the purchase of the 310. So far my favorite part of this mouse is the sensor reliability, it has never lost its mind and swung my view to the sky and stuck me there when putting the mouse through its paces, like in close quarter combat. Other mice failed in those situations, this one never has, even when Ive fooled around and tried to make it fail. Im pleased with this mouse for FPS and dont see a need to spend more money on a better mouse when this one seems to provide all the performance I need.

> 24 hourI spend a lot of time at my computer, most of the new optical mice are so tiny. I have smallish to medium hands...what do big men do, use tweezers on the mouse? I found this mouse, which has a lot more features than I want or need, as well as some disco lights I havent learned to turn off. There are some annoying buttons near the thumb side that I trigger inadvertently at times, sending my web browser back a page or sending me down a link I had no interest of clicking. It has some heft, feels quality built, is a decent size and shape, and is wired. The body of the mouse basically fills the palm of my hand, they way they are supposed to...has some nice grippy rubber like stuff on the sides that I like.

> 24 hourgonna get straight to the point here for context i play mostly fps games so my review is written specifically with fps games in mind pros: the shape is fantastic for claw and palm grippers very comfortable, build quality is good for me no double clicking issues,side buttons are very good especially for games that utilize them frequently very easy to reach and have satisfying enough clicks,the sensor is obviously very good along with pretty much all mice in this price point,rgb is nice enough if your into it theirs software you can download for some cool effects and dpi adjustment etc,scroll wheel is pretty average no complaints here. cons: the cable could definitely be better no connection issues but after using the model o or any braided cable this just feels lack luster definitely gets in the way once in a while even with a mouse bungee, weight not a con for all but for me its just a tad heavy i would recommend something a bit lighter if you havent tried a mouse under 70g you have to try one definitely helped me improve my flicks and speed, that is pretty much all the cons for me overall its a good mouse would like to see better mouse feet theyre not bad but would be nice to get some pure PTFE mouse feet glide is fine just not amazing. conclusion: great mouse for fps games if you want a mouse with a good shape and not too heavy although its not my absolute favorite it serves its purpose very well. definitely try a glorious model o or model d if you want something lighter tho GG.

> 24 hourHonestly, so far, the best ambidextrous/left-handed mouse Ive used in years. Ive gone through Razer mice, and found both that the thumb buttons werent quite in the right place for me, making them difficult to actually use in game, and lately, I have to say their quality/durability has fallen off. First Razer mouse I used, an original copperhead, is actually still functional but very worn and looks it. Last Razer mouse, Orochi, lasted less than 2 months before a main button stopped working. After that, tried EVGA, just because the price was amazing. I got 2 Torx 3X Laser mice. Same problem with thumb button, needed to somewhat turn mouse to use thumb buttons, making them less than convenient and undependable in game. Also, very quickly, inside of 2 months, the rubber on the mouse wheel loosened, making the wheel close to completely non-functional. Also, for my hand, somewhat small, the whole mouse seemed somewhat long and flat. I then tried the logitech G300 mouse, but found the mouse a strange shape, very high, with the left and right buttons grooved so low it was impossible to hit those buttons and the middle mouse button/wheel at the same time, which I do for some games. I also could not use the thumb buttons and right mouse button at the same time, as the thumb buttons faced straight up and were designed to be pressed by the same finger that pressed the right mouse button - index finger in my case as Im left-handed. Again, I use that combination of thumb and right mouse button in some games, so the Logitech mouse was a no-go for games. Finally I tried this mouse, the SteelSeries Sensei 310 Gaming Mouse. It feels so good, just perfect in my hand. the thumb buttons are in the right place to use w/o twisting the mouse, and I may even be able to use the 2 buttons on the other side. As I am not pressing them accidently, I think I can leave them active and use them, a first for an ambidextrous mouse in my experience. The materials feel good, the switches seem solid so far, and the software is great once you get used to it. It even has a cloud feature, so I can keep the settings the same for the mouse I use /w my laptop, and the one I use /w my desktop. The only other mouse Id consider is the second newest Logitech wired/wireless one, G900, (I dont need Lightspeed charging of G903), but the G900 Still costs over $100, more than 2x the cost of the Sensei 310. Again, for me, so far, 2 months in, this is best ambidextrous/left-handed mouse Ive ever used - just great design overall.

> 24 hourFor all the features mice have these days, picking the right shape is still paramount. My grip is primarily a fingertip grip, but I like to rest the bridge of my knuckles on the body. The Rival is perfect for this style. The 310 appears a bit cheap, but the plastic is porous, resisting finger grime, and the rubber sides ensure a firm grip in all circumstances. There are lighter mice on the market, but the Rival is the right weight for me. Lighter mice led to fatigue over time due to the fine motor skill required for small movements. Click weight is good and the side buttons are big, making them difficult to miss, though I wish the center-mouse-wheel click required more force to actuate. I adjusted but, as is, it requires barely more than the weight of a finger to press. I was impressed by the SteelSeries software as it prompted me to disable mouse acceleration in Windows. The software allows you to adjust the two sensitivity (CPI) set-points, button mapping, acceleration/deceleration, angle snapping, and polling rate before saving it to the mouse. Frankly, its more than I need, but it allowed me to dial in my sensitivity precisely and experiment with the mouse acceleration. Though the linear 1:1 tracking felt great, I found mouse acceleration was required for me to get from edge to edge of my 21:9 ultrawide without lifting the mouse.

> 24 hourIm a left-handed mouse user and this is the first gaming-grade mouse Ive found that I loved. Ive tried some others that died on me in a few months (I wont name them), and dont like the ones that are specifically for southpaws. Great fit in my hand (note - I have large hands, so your mileage may vary) and easy to move around. The software you can download is great for setting custom DPI. There is a DPI toggle switch that allows you to swap back and forth between two DPI settings, but I personally dont use it (in the software I just set them to the same value).

> 24 hourI love this mouse for its form factor. Pretty much every gaming mouse you buy that has a decent reputation will have great performance. High sensitivity isnt needed and if anything is terrible for competitive gaming or anyone at all. Anything above 800 dpi is typically useless outside of specific applications since ideally you want 400-800 dpi. I like the grips for comfort and the simple design. It has nice RGB if you care about that, I personally dont, although I do use my favorite color. My only issue with the mouse is the build quality. Ive had 4 Steelseries mouse products and they always end up with a broken mouse 4/5 button since I use them for push to talk and melee in games. This is the last time Im going to buy one since the right grip on this one peeled off before a year even passed, although the mouse buttons are actually going strong 2 years later
