What customers say about "Key Specs"

SteelSeries Rival 300 Optical Gaming Mouse

The sensor is amazing. It will never hold back your aim.
All the buttons are high quality and heavy. No accidental clicks, even on the large side buttons.
Mouse works on most surfaces though i leave my on top of a mat for longer life of the sensor.
The left and right buttons take a bit more pressure to click than those made by Microsoft and Logitech which is great.
The right click stopped working in the middle of an Overwatch match.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

SteelSeries Rival 300 Optical Gaming Mouse

It weighs about 100 grams, which is pretty good.
The shape is unusual, but very comfortable. Large in the back but smaller up front, it fits many hand sizes.
The weight of the item is good for traction and movement.
I love the feel and weight of this mouse! Highly recommend.
I do wish it was just a little bit shorter. I was pretty much forced to use a claw grip with my previous mouse.

What customers say about "Connection"

SteelSeries Rival 300 Optical Gaming Mouse

The cable glides smoothly and never got in my way.
The USB cable length and flexibility are very well balanced.
I don't mind wired gaming mouse and this one has an extra long cable so that is a plus.
The wire is not a braided cable and was very stiff out of the box causing issues with long sweeping moves.
Only problem I have is the grippy cable, it tends to get stuck on the desk or mousepad from time to time when moving the mouse quickly.

What customers say about "Features"

SteelSeries Rival 300 Optical Gaming Mouse

Good rubberized grips on the side, which are very comfortable.
The software is really nice and allows me to adjust the colors and hues on the mouse.
The LED symbols are bright but not too bright, very convenient.
Comfortable mouse for anyone I would think, and the side panel material is great for warm sweaty days.
SteelSeries application works great for customizing the dpi and each button.
