With the Rival 310, you get an comfortable righthanded mouse that’s both light and easy to grip with both palm and claw grips. Lightweight mice have quite the following when it comes to gaming mice preferences. (Or lag… definitely lag) Final Thoughtsįor only $59.99, you get a brilliant product in the SteelSeries Rival 310 and the new TrueMove3 sensor. If you lose with the Rival 310, it just may be your fault. Overall, commanding the Rival 310 in-game was comfortable and satisfying. Not once did I experience any jitter or undesirable behaviors. Handling the mouse was that much easier thanks to the Rival 310’s silicone side grips. While playing Gears of War 4 on Windows 10, popping 180 degree turns to remove faces with the Gnasher shotgun felt clean and natural.

I was not disappointed with performance of the Rival 310 as movement tracking felt nice and smooth. So I went with what I normally do with gaming mice – leaving angle snapping off, having polling on max, and keeping acceleration and deceleration off. Personally, I preferred that the sensor tracked as closely to “natural” as possible. Being able to make detailed tweaks and have it stored on the mouse itself makes the Rival 310 an excellent professional gaming tool, even when you’re using it on tournament-issued PC’s. This of course allows you to create a custom profile, apply it to the mouse, and use the Rival 310 with those saved preferences on any PC, even if the PC is not running the SteelSeries Engine. On top of all that, the SteelSeries Rival 310 has onboard memory. The control of the Rival 310 and the TrueMove3 sensor is up to you via simple use of slider bars. Prefer that the software clean up your quick mouse swipes so that it moves in a straight line? Or would you rather that angle snapping be left off so that your slower swipes are tracked as tightly to your movements as possible, recording even the most distinct movements. Aside from just CPI tweaks, you can control the sensor’s polling rates, acceleration and deceleration levels, and angle snapping. Where the SteelSeries Engine and Rival 310 excel is in how the software allows you to tweak the behavior of the TrueMove3 sensor.
