Does this mouse auto-install an intrusive software suite or need the user to constantly be logged into an account, like Razer requires?
Will this work on ps5?
It feels fine to aim, but turning around fast and movement while looking like turning sharp corners feels really off. Suggestions?
If I have it plugged into my computer, will I need to replace batteries for the rgb?

WINNING!!! LOVE IT!!

I wish I would of bought this mouse a looong time ago and even paid 30 bucks and now just18 bucks feels like I'm steeling it...HAAAA!!! The quick story is - by far my favorite mouse I've ever used!Detailed story -- I'm way older now and lost count of how many mouses I bought over the years, put it this way, I started playing Diablo when it first came out. So that gives you an idea of how many mouses I've been through, mostly stuck with logitech, but many other off brands too, and was always eyeballing the steelseries, and almost bought one last round but then I found some crazy cheap deal and decided to go with it, Boy am I kicking myself in the behind now, and thank you for the price drop, because this mouse feels like it was custom made for me. Keep in mind I'm average size person 6ft 190ibs average size hands I guess we can say, and as you can see in the pic it's my perfect hand size....perfecttttoooo! And I know I'm in a treehouse and using it on a barstool, but I've had a 100 mouses and none fit this perfect, feel so solid, with buttons that quietly give a perfect push and feedback, I've played with my buddies that pay crazy prices that I would never consider paying just to save a few grams....and I still like this one way better! All I can say is sorry steelseries, I wish I went with ya sooner, but we're connected now and I'll be a loyal fan. OHHH wait wait wait, I was so excited about that perfect fit, how could I forget to mention how freaking cool this lil light show is at night up in the tree-house, there again not overkill just perfect cool looking display! Thanks much steelseries for so much excitement in a mouse...HAAAA! CHEERS MATES!!!PS: YES, I would recommend this mouse! )

Loved the Mouse so I Got Another One

I like to use a wired mouse, no worries about charging. The mouse feels good and I really like how it fits my hand and can use both left or right hands. It moves great on the desk or desk pad. Liked it so well purchased another one for downstairs.

Solid mouse for the price.

This is the best mouse for the price point, but it's not perfect.Pros:-Great brand-Solid construction-Great price-Enough productivity/macro buttons for average gamingHaving the two side buttons, and a re-programmable center button is really nice for a variety of tasks. When I used to play MOBA games it was nice to have a couple keys mapped there, but now that I am primarily working with the mouse I map Enter and Delete. The buttons have a nice tactile press, and hold up quite well.Cons:-A bit on the small side, acceptable for claw grip on larger hands.-Not Mac or Linux native friendly (you can still customize it)-Hard to clean/upkeepThis is the second time I've purchased a SteelSeries Rival mouse, as the first one became impossible to maintain after about 6 years of use. In my case, dust that managed to sneak into the mouse wheel area was impossible to remove without disassembly. After fixing that issue, the left mouse button's contact never quite lined up.

Solid as the name implies

The Steel Series gaming peripherals have been staples for the last few years. They're solidly built, work right out of the box, and are responsive as anyone can wish for. They were close to the apex accessories of the time, and still live firmly near the top even years later.The Steel Series Rival 3 is one such mouse. It's solid, smooth, responsive, ergonomic, and has just enough weight to not be classed like one of those cheap knock-offs while still being light enough to move fluidly with the lightest touch. A true gem.Adding in the effective placement of the two thumb buttons, this mouse has remarkable use as a general utility mouse while still maintaining just enough flexibility to conquer gaming with ease.That isn't to say it has no flaws.As it is several years old now, the software to customize and enable other features is no longer supported (or even easily obtainable). One of the pivotal attractions of gaming mice is such customization and lighting options, of which one must now look for external solutions. It, for example, does have LED lighting modes... but the only mode directly usable out of the box is a slow RGB glow that cycles through the spectrum. No 'team colors' or 'flashing rave' options here. You can't even adjust the brightness without the software and external programs are required to re-assigning the extra buttons or adding macros.Overall, an absolutely wonderful mouse, but without its software support, that's all it is: a wonderful mouse rather than a phenomenal piece of computer engineering.

The best mouse to start if you want to increase your aim for a very low price

Let me start with my hand size i have a big hand and i was in a battle searching for the best mouse possible but for a low price considering the sensor, hz and shape. i play with palm grip and this is more for people that play claw or fingertip well let me tell you that even me having big hands and my hand position is not the recommended for this mouse i was masochistic and bought it and wow really comfortable and really amazed me for a small mouse and is more big than the logitech G203 and feel more nicer for my hand i test the G203 and its feels like a toy in comparison with rival 3I improved in FPS even more in less than a week and for a $30 dollar mouse feels premium.Another think i want to mention is the steelseries app for the mouse really good and easy to use.overall if you want to play competitive games, improve your aim and want a comfortable mouse this is the way to go dont go with a viper mini if your like me with big hands your going to waste your money but not because the quality cuz for my opinion viper mini is so much better but not for people with big hands if you have the money for the standart viper go with that if not the rival 3 is the way.
