The SteelSeries Engine is where you will do all your tweaking on the mouse, and much like past mice, the process is painless overall. It managed to live up to the promises and offers a tournament-level gaming experience at a price that is hard to beat. Now, this is a personal preference, but if you are a fan of mice with weight, the Rival 310 is not the mouse for you.ĭespite the weight issue, the Rival 310 never felt like it was skidding across the mouse pad, or with any loss of signal during fast-paced, twitch gameplay. The Rival 310 feels very light and cheap.
Personally, I am a fan of a mouse with a bit of heft to it.
Spec-wise this mouse feels well above its price range, but as soon as you pick it up, you can feel how light it is. One negative thing I will say about the Rival 310 is the weight. Finally, the mouse wheel has a tire like imprint that feels comfortable on the hand while still offering a level of tactile feedback. Even the placement of the CPI toggle felt well thought out, ensuring the CPI was always where I needed it when I jumped from shooter to strategy. The placement of the buttons worked well and its evident SteelSeries spent the time to ensure that all buttons on the mouse were useable, even in high-pressure tournament type settings. It feels good in the hands, and even after long gameplay sessions, it was never painful to use. My go-to mouse before this was the DeathAdder, and while I still love the iconic design Razer offers with that mouse, the Rival 310 was a close second in terms of comfort, especially when you consider the price. It should be noted that while I did push the CPI to the limits, I found a midrange of around 5,000 CPI was the best for the games I was playing. I used the Rival 310 for a few days now, with some heavy gaming including games such as Quake, StarCraft II, and DotA 2, and everything played as I expected. The Rival 310 is a pleasure to use in gaming or even in an office environment.
The simple design feels good in the hands and the iconic SteelSeries logo at the back features the lighting we have grown to know and love with the use of the SteelSeries Engine software.Īll these features look good on the box, and in reality work just as well. The Rival 310 features six programmable buttons, rubberized sides, and a new split trigger design with mechanical switches that in testing was much more comfortable to use compared to past Rival series mice. Visually the mouse is similar to past iterations.
