The Misha is handy for right-handed people, but the Shvidka is not that hard. Any domestic animal's wool can be put into a bowl and the wheel will work wonderfully, or it can be cleaned and will work like new. For three rocks around the brood, the filthy stuff that has settled in the crevices without noticing anything, the brood is easy to clean. It has fallen from the table (~110cm) many times onto a hard surface with nothing but a few rags. It’s best to turn the backlight on to drain the batteries quickly. Price, availability, customization, value. It’s easy to pick up the brood, whoever can get rid of it.  Timker An: use SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless more than year |
I've been using the mouse for a year, and it has its pros and cons. I'll say right away, there are more cons... It's not worth buying it unless you're willing to take a risk. I got one of the first revisions, so maybe they fixed the issue with the scroll wheel, but many problems will remain, regardless of the revision. I think if you're ready to upgrade the mouse, give it a good pad which will cost you from 50 EUR, stick 100% Teflon feet around the sensor window, and add two lithium batteries, and basically, if there are no issues with the wheel and you like soft clicks, this rodent will serve you well... But besides its price of 40-55 EUR, you need to add another 80-90 EUR. So, there's basically no point in getting it. Lightweight for wireless models, Pleasant shape for all grip styles (except palm grip if you have medium or large hands). Excellent side buttons: precise, with no pre or post travel. Top-notch sensor (never malfunctioned). Cool lighting on the scroll wheel. Cons: 1. The main buttons have a really soft click, which over time you might not even feel. They feel quite stiff, almost as if they mixed up the main and side buttons, as the side buttons are crisper without any pre, side, or post travel. 2. The scroll wheel is terrible. After just three months, though very rarely, I noticed it occasionally malfunctioning. After six months, the issue became increasingly annoying. Nine months in, every second scroll either didn't respond, or moved in the wrong direction. I started blowing it out, which temporarily solved the issue, but the effect lasted shorter each time. Recently, the wheel stopped working altogether. I tried everything, and eventually, the mouse stopped connecting (or if it did, the wheel didn't respond). After an hour, it seemed to recover, but the problem with the wheel persisted... 3. The weight balance is extremely annoying. To keep the mouse from tilting to one side, you either need to use two batteries, which makes it heavy, or one battery, which makes it a short-lived mouse (especially with lighting, without it or in smart mode, it lasts just 2-3 more days). I found a solution using a rechargeable AAA battery, but a slight imbalance remains, and this battery needs to be charged every day (without lighting). 4. The feet are not made of genuine Teflon and wear out within six months, especially since the sensor window is slightly lower, causing the top feet to wear out, making sliding on the mat feel unpleasant. Additionally, there's no Teflon around the sensor window. 5. Bluetooth and the lighting are useless. ((( VanGat: use SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless more than year |
The optimal gaming mouse for me: lightweight, no frills, programmed using convenient proprietary software. It turned out to be the ideal option for my hand: I tried on several mice and not only SS, but this particular one is mine. The games did not disappoint. Wireless mouse powered by AAA batteries, classic design, perfectly assembled -  Viktor Dobrenko: use SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless few months |
Attempt number 3
Despite the status of one of the main manufacturers of gaming peripherals, the Danes from SteelSeries in terms of wireless technology are unsuccessfully trying to catch up with competitors in the face of Logitech and Razer. This time around, they decided to tie a wireless module to their SteelSeries Rival 3, which is one of the best gaming mice in the sub-$50 category. Like the original Rival 3, the ergonomics are in order here: the mouse is not too heavy, but not too light either (the weight is optimally distributed over the body), it is suitable for both right and left hand control. Unlike previous versions of Rival, the third reincarnation does not have such slippery sides. Other highlights of the SteelSeries Rival 3 include heavy duty main switches with 60 million click life, great build quality, great switches and a responsive wheel.
18000 DPI TrueMove Air sensor
As in other mice from the Danish manufacturer, the proprietary TrueMove sensor is used here. In this particular case, TrueMove Air with an impressive 18000 DPI sensitivity and a maximum acceleration of 40G. It has excellent top speed and acceleration, low liftoff and excellent overall tracking quality. The feel is slightly different from the sensor in the original Rival 3, but overall the impression from it is the most positive. The only thing I didn't like was the unusually high level of smoothing that occurs with a wireless connection.
Update your drivers
From proprietary software and wireless functions, there were mixed impressions. A pinch of positive is the laconic design of the SteelSeries Engine 3 command centre, its richness of functions and unique features. For example, the ability to teach the backlight to signal new messages in Discord and dropped health in the game. Well, raw drivers became a barrel of negativity, which significantly spoiled the feel of the mouse. Sometimes she just lost connection, sometimes she hung up for a couple of seconds, and sometimes, for the sake of economy, she chopped off all the extra goodies and reduced the polling rate to 125 Hz, turning into an ordinary office mouse. As for battery life, the manufacturer claims 400 hours from two batteries when connected wirelessly. Very foolish.
