The DPI range of the mouse is 100-12,000, and while this is lower than some of the competition, it’s more than most people will ever need, with my personal preference sitting at 1800. From the moment I started using the 310, I was genuinely blown away with how it felt – I’ve covered almost all the new mouse releases this year, but nothing has felt smoother or more natural.
The performance of the Rival 310 is second to none at this price point. Related: Best gaming mice SteelSeries Rival 310 – Performance & Software It’s optical, and exclusive to SteelSeries.
The underside of the mouse has three Teflon pads for a smooth glide, and houses the sensor. If you’re after a wider variety of buttons, you’ll need to look elsewhere. There are also two large buttons on the left side in the traditional backward and forwards layout, but that’s your lot. It’s a material choice that I love, as while its durability may not live up to some other finishes, it makes it far more comfortable in use, and makes flick shots that much easier. The mouse connects over a standard USB cable, but unfortunately this is non-detachable, and non-braided so it’ll be more tangle-prone than the average gaming mouse.īoth sides of the Rival 310 are rubberised, with large pads engraved with a star pattern. The wheel flows nicely, and forms the second customisable RGB zone. The top of the mouse arcs sharply upwards, with an illuminated SteelSeries logo prominently on display, along with a DPI toggle switch and scroll wheel. The body is made from textured plastic, which does a fantastic job of reducing weight, but this does come at the cost of reducing that luxury feeling you’ll find on metallic mice such as Corsair M65 Pro. There’s no way to customise the weight of the 310, so if you prefer a heavier mouse – you’re out of luck. At 88g, it’s one of the lightest I’ve tested, with a nimble figure that happily darts around your desk. SteelSeries Rival 310 – Design, Build and Featuresĭespite its larger-than-average size, the Rival 310 is surprisingly lightweight.
But if you can look past this, this is a great-value gaming mouse with unmatched performance. There are definitely shortcomings, with the Rival having a slightly plasticky shell and lacking any weight adjustment. It’s packed with a brand new sensor, an ultra-lightweight design and syncable RGB lighting. The Rival 310 is SteelSeries’ latest performance mouse to grace the gaming market.
