SteelSeries has built a new budget-friendly sensor for the Rival 3, and packed the peripheral with a feature set normally reserved for higher-end devices. The result is an impressive device and comes with a handful of minor flaws.- Great price/feature ratio
- Awesome lighting options
- Satisfyingly hefty click
- Lift-off can result in cursor jiggle
- A bit small
- Not ambidextrous despite symmetrical design
