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.
