SteelSeriesRival 300, Optical Gaming Mouse - Gunmetal Grey

This an amazing minimalist gaming mouse. Perfect for people with big palms and long fingers. For a hardcore gamer of 14 years this mouse is beyond adequate for high level performance.I have found the only mouse close enough to this is the razer Deatheradder but without the weight that this mouse carries.I have used the following gaming mice:-Corsair M60CONS: wide but not long enough. Not enough dpi control.PROS: Wide base allows for comfortable finger position.-Razer DeathadderPROS: Perfect size, solid Dpi control,CONS: Not heavy enough-Steelseries Rival 500CONS: fingertips in claw position sit past the mouse clicks and thumb is too long for side button positioning. Dpi settings only accept whole round numbers I. E. 500 dpi not 550dpi.PROS: Has lots of buttons and solid weight.The Rival 300 is by far the most comfortable mouse of all I have tried in the past.PICTURE: Rival 500 (Left) Rival 300 (center) and my.

Excellent product, super smooth action and comes with a wide variety of drivers for many personalization.Using it specifically for online gaming and it's absolutely the best mouse I've ever used. The steel insides produce an excellent smooth rolling action and I'm sure will outlast any mouse in the market.Graphics are really well put together and size of mouse fits perfectly into your palm. Note that the weight is very nice, mist mouse are too light but this one is very very well made.Worth every pennyIf you haven't tried Amazon Prime, your really missing out on so much.

This is a great mouse. The sensor and clicks are great. The side buttons are a bit too recessed for my tastes. But they are easy to adjust to. It fits my hand mostly well, it is just a little on the narrow side. but I have very large hands. (I'm 6' 4")But it still is a great mouse. A little too expensive in my opinion, but I am happy with the purchase.

So nice, all the programming options for DPI and buttons in the software open up plenty of customization to suit whatever form of gaming you do. Feels really nice in my hands and the grips on the sides really have helped me with my habit of tensing up in intense games, since it's usually to keep the mouse in my hand. Mouse buttons are properly stiff, so I don't misclick but it's not an effort to click. Haven't messed with the button mapping much, but from what I can see you can edit any of the buttons and scroll wheel to do whatever you want.

I have previously owned a Steel Series Rival prior to the addition of the numbers (300, 700, etc.) in the product title. I loved the old Rival and decided why not try out this hyper beast themed mouse to replace it. Unfortunately, this themed mouse is total butt. The graphic portion does not have the rubberized feel of the previous Rival, which I do not prefer, but was okay with going into the purchase. The real area where this mouse earns its one star is the quality of the clicking action. Both the left and right click have no definition in the action. When you click there isn't that positive stiffness before the button breaks like on the trigger of a gun. For me, that is unacceptable. When you invert the mouse you can even physically feel the spongy mushiness of the button. Also, there is a difference in weight between this mouse and my original Rival. Nothing I couldn't get over if it weren't for the previous mentioned issue, but I figured if you have stuck with my review this far, you deserve to know that as well. Sadly I am returning this Hyper Beast without ever having played a game due to the quality issues. You can do better than this Steel Series!!!

Excellent mouse for the money you pay for it. The software is well made and easy to use. The mouse build quality is solid and the ergonomics are very good. After roughly 4 years of use, it hasn't given me any problems, although the middle click on the mouse wheel is starting to fail (but that's just because I've been using it A LOT). Excellent sensor, with two DPI settings that are configurable in the software.

The mouse is great for gaming and I been buying this mouse since 2014.Unfortunately with this last one came with 2 known bugs. The sensor bug which automatically flicks the mouse to the ground some times and the mouse wheel bug, which occasionally wheels the mouse down.

I use this mouse along with a logitech MX master which I use for more productive tasks such as excel and adobe-word documents. The steelseries mouse is great for games with accurate clicking and motion tracking while being very light. It's great for casual browsing and computer usage as well due to it's lightness and ergonomic shape which reduces fatigue. I was developing ulnar tunnel but have since solved my problems after investing in ergonomic mice and an extended mouse mat that I use as an arm rest on my L desk.
