SteelSeries Rival 310 Ergonomic Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2017-10-07

Given the fact that we are dealing with the exact same sensor as on the Sensei 310, the Rival 310 delivers the same overall experience. Built in cooperation with PixArt, the optical TrueMove3 sensor allows CPI up to 12000 in increments of 100, an acceleration of 50G and polling rate of 1ms. We’ve also got zero hardware acceleration, a feature which recommends it for eSports, while the mouse is able to correct imprecise hand movement thanks to the advanced jitter reduction. Implicitly, the mouse does also perform great when doing productivity work or browsing multimedia content and is lighter even when compared to the Sensei 310 (88.3g vs 92.1g).

Same SteelSeries TrueMove3 sensor comes with both models and Rival does also have two less programmable buttons. The product is shipped inside a small cardboard enclosure, which comes with some of the product highlights listed:

The mouse is carefully protected inside with lots of foam material, so it won’t move during transit:

We will also receive a Product Information Guide with instructions on how to operate the product:

Let’s take an in-depth look at the Rival 310 too! This particular model is even lighter than the Sensei at about 88.3g, and has a length of 127.6mm. It can fit both palm and claw grip types and does sport two separate RGB programmable areas. Thanks to the matte top plastic shell, the Rival 310 does not collect fingerprints, while the top central button is mapped for CPI switching:
