SteelSeries Sensei 310 Gaming Mouse - 12,000 CPI TrueMove3 Optical Sensor - Ambidextrous Design - Split-Trigger Buttons - RGB Lighting, Black

Any mouse at this price range from a reputable manufacturer will have the sameish mid-high tier sensors. This comes down to feel and shape. Everything not mentioned consider excellent. Hand size: Large (18x10cm) | Grip: Fingertip - Shape is ergo with a low bump in the mid-rear left side - A great in-between shape of ergo and ambidextrous - Unique pearish shape, truly the highlight of the mouse; slightly flat narrow front, slightly wide ergo rear - Unbelievable casual comfort and precise aim control - Rubber grips! I like them - Shell is NOT butter smooth or slippery, it is a near perfect textured surface A great mouse for Medium or Large hands and Palm or Fingertip grips; an absolute must buy if you are fingertip with large hands

While my search for the perfect mouse continues, the Rival 310 is close in a lot of regards for what Ive been looking. Im generally on my computer for 10+ hours a day, where my work is mouse-heavy at times and my playtime is gaming. My goal has been to find a mouse that works well whether Im on the clock or off since switching mice out is a pain. Ive owned many different makes of mice, most recently being the G502 Proteus Spectrum(

Left mouse button missing clicks since I got it, but gradually worsening. Rubber grips falling off. I paid about 50 bucks for it when I got it and I feel like I got ripped off. I cant imagine paying the 90 it is at now.

Great for me because I have big hands. Nice grips on the sides and a couple good programable buttons.

For the money this mouse is solid. Light despite its size but surface materials still feel high quality. Good feel on the scroll wheel. Mouse buttons feel slightly mushy but still have a nice tactile response. Excellent sensor, excellent software customization. Served me well for about 2 years of gaming. Ultimately the cable ended up tearing where it meets the mouse. This was solved with some electrical tape but unfortunately thats going to add extra drag. You get what you pay for in terms of build quality, but honestly this is a great option for gamers with a palm or hybrid grip.

I got this mouse to replace a budget gaming mouse (Chinese brand) that I had been using for about a year. It was not a bad mouse, but I felt like treating myself to something nicer. This hit the sweet spot. Its got a great sensor, a very satisfying matte finish, very tactile buttons that rarely fire unintentionally, a nicely balanced scroll wheel, comfortable silicon side grips, and vivid RGB accents. The one con is the Steel Series Engine software for the mouse. Its not very intuitive and pretty buggy. Almost every time I have tried to change the colors Ive had to relaunch the software after it failed to register my changes. The good news is that once you get your preferred DPI, macros, and color patterns set, you should be good to go. It even saves your settings onboard, so if you close the software or switch computers the mouse will keep your DPI and color profiles set. However, in my experience, you do need to open the software for some macros. Ive set my mouse to control volume with the side triggers, which works with the software off. However, I also remapped the DPI button to open a program, which does not register with the software off. Not a huge deal, but worth noting if youre switching computers a lot or hate extra software. Ive seen several reviews that view the light, plastic construction of the mouse as a con. I want to emphasize that this is NOT a con. The mouse does feel quite light and hollow - intentionally so. Its great for general use, but its designed for e-sports and especially for first person shooters, where lighter is usually better. In this case, the weight of a mouse should not directly correspond with the dollar value of the mouse. There are plenty of cheap, heavy mice. Unlike a keyboard with an aluminum or steel back plate, there is no real benefit to a heavier, fortified mouse for gaming. Yes, the mouse is light and plastic - but this shouldnt be an issue if you dont throw it around and drop it. Even a metal mouse will break if you drop it more than a few times. Finally, Ive seen complaints that the glue has begun to leak from the side grips. This does seem to be a real phenomenon that occurs with some of these mice. However, I have used this mouse for 5-10 hours a day for work and gaming over the last two months and have not had this issue. Perhaps this is more of an issue for people with more acidic perspiration, which could also contribute to the deterioration of the matte finish some have noted. For me, this has not been an issue. I will update my review if either of these things begin to occur. Final verdict: I got this mouse on sale for $35! For that price, its unrivaled (get it?). At the MSRP of $59 its more of a toss-up. There are a lot of good offerings in that price range. However, if you want a relatively light gaming mouse with a great sensor and you dont want to pay for some of the really expensive niche options out there, this is a great option. I can highly recommend it.

Im diamond 3300 in overwatch, diamond 2 in league of legends, used to be DMG in cs:go, and plat 3 in rainbow siege. Gear is really important and I think that the steelseries rival 310 is a great mouse. Having used corsair M65 and steelseries sensei raw, Id say the rival 310 is best for gamers that use a palm grip. The buldge at the right side is hard to get used to, but acts as a great cushion for extended gaming periods (no hand cramping). Paired with a steelseries QCK, this mouse is great. Also, build quality feels WAY better than the sensei raw and cosair M65. The clicks are really responsive and satisfying. The side buttons are responsive as well (and actually exists compared to the M65). Also, screw the old steelseries sensei. The build quality on it was awful, and Im glad I moved to the new rival 310. It actually feels worth its price. Overall, I would suggest this mouse at the $60 price point. Very well built, and the RGB is cool to look at. Mouses polymer feels quality, and the buttons are extremely responsive and clean to use. I have not used the G503 yet, a disclaimer. But Im pretty sure this mouse would be on par or if not better. Emphasis on build quality on this mouse, once again. Miles better than previous steelseries mouses.

This is my first left handed mouse. in the past, the only left handed mice i could find and like 12 buttons and were for hardcore gamers. I felt guilty ordering it, because my old mouse, although showing wear and tear, still worked. Boy am i glad I went for it. It is light, very precise, the software for it is actually good which I cannot say about R---r or L-----ch or any of the cheap CN knockoffs ive gotten. Right out of the box, the polling rate and DPI settings are exactly what I use, they know their gamer audience. The biggest surprise tho was the simple rubber-ish grip on both sides - I am more of a claw user and didnt realize how much energy I was putting into just moving my old slick plastic mouse. Not only is it more snappy and accurate to use, it is FAR less fatiguing! I am o glad I took a chance on SteelSeries!

I really want to love this mouse, but I cant. It is pretty ergonomic and all the extra programmable buttons are solid, but the scroll wheel, oh the scroll wheel is atrocious. After I replaced it thinking it was defective the new mouse had the same annoyances. The tactility between each scroll is a bit too much, but the real problem is that it is unpredictable. Scrolling down isnt too bad but scrolling up is AWFUL. When you scroll up it doesnt always stop and rest before each notch, instead it gets stuck in between notches. Say you are scrolling real fast up the page, when you get to the top and let go of the scroll wheel it sometimes gets stuck in the middle and it is extremely unsatisfying and you always feel the need to scroll farther than you need to so it wont rest there. I find myself constantly resorting to other methods of scrolling. Middle click, page up, page down, and arrow keys. It wouldnt be nearly as bad if it happened when every time, but it is completely random when it happens. I dont recommend it if this would bother you.

The feel of the older SteelSeries Sensei RAW was really great, despite how easy it would get dirty, how easily the rubberized coating on the sides would change color and rub off, and how recessed the side mouse buttons were. This mouse takes nearly the same ambidextrous design, and fixes the flaws of the older generation. Rather than the slippery plastic, you get a more grippy plastic on the body of the mouse. Instead of the rubberized sides, you get proper rubber cushions on the side. Instead of recessed side mouse buttons, you get articulated buttons that are easy to distinguish from each other, as well as from the rest of the side of the mouse. The scroll wheel is also improve from the RAW, however, not incredibly. My only complaint is about the bottom padding that separates the mouse from the desk, or mousepad. It tends to get dirty with dust or whatever, and the feeling of the mouse contact to the desk just doesnt feel all too good unless you clean the bottom pads before each use. However, this isnt too big of an issue. Overall, great upgrade from the Sensei RAW.
