The SteelSeries Rival 310 Optical Gaming Mouse is available from most of the big name retailers already. Of course, you can also order it directly from SteelSeries. Currently, the mouse is a very reasonable £59.99 , and we think that's fantastic value for money.

The SteelSeries Sensei is easily one of the most underrated mice on the market, and it's hard to say why people rate it low. It features a sleek design, excellent software and full ambidextrous support, which is more than a lot of newer mice can say.

Excellent design; Great performance; Reasonable price; Fully ambidextrous

Only two DPI settings; Some lighting oddities

The SteelSeries Sensei is one of the most popular gaming mice in history next to the legendary Logitech MX518. Over the last decade it's been updated with the addition of its own CPU, and has seen a wireless edition released alongside the traditional wired version.

Reasonably priced; Comfortable for claw and palm grips; Jitter reduction feature

No braided cable; Lacks sensor calibration support

Okay so at the end of the day I have written a LOT more about the Sensei 310 and Rival 310 than I normally do. Part of that is because both mice have made a lot of changes though I did also spend more time than normal because of how familiar I am with the old Sensei and I had extremely high...

Like the Arctis 5, this mouse uses SteelSeries Engine software for extra calibration and customization options. One of the major functions you can mess with is something called CPI, or Counts Per Inch. This refers to how far the cursor will move on the screen whenever you move the mouse itself.

Input speed is exceptionally fast; Design is ergonomic; RGB lighting is a nice touch

Some components are lacking in durability; Certain settings beyond the needs of a regular user

SteelSeries' Rival 310 and Sensei 310 are the company's first mice with its TrueMove3 sensor, which promises a wider range of one-to-one tracking than any...

If you are determined to reach the peak of your potential performance the importance of an accurate sensor cannot be overstated. There is little use in you developing insane muscle memory if your sensor is neither consistent in its response nor tracking your movements accurately.

Today we will be taking a look at the Rival 310 brought to us by SteelSeries. The Rival 310 is the newest member of the Rival line. The new Rival 310 shares all the same features and

TrueMove3 sensor; Split-Trigger Buttons; Fiber-reinforced Plastics; Silicone Side Grips; Tracking Movement has very smooth feel; RGB; SteelSeries Engine

Design may not fit every hand size (depending on your claw style) if you like to rest you hand on the table; then the mouse will feel like its on the larger size and awkward finger positioning on clickers.

We like the guts and the ambidextrous design of the Sensei 310, but a few advances in the configuration software would make this mouse something really special.

Shaped for lefties and righties alike; Attractive; solid design; yet light; Hair-trigger Omron switches and good optical sensor; Support for acceleration; deceleration; angle snapping

Only two DPI settings; No lift-distance control; Best for big hands; Non-braided cord; Ho-hum macro editor; Can't sync lighting for both light zones easily

With these caveats noted, the Sensei 310 is a strong entry in the market for high-end optical gaming mice. It's an ambidextrous one, and thus not optimized for ergonomics with a horizontal arch, and the scroll wheel is too far forward for your typical hand-unless you prefer a claw grip.
