My 0.02c - I've had the mouse since release date. The mouse I got is very solid, no flex anywhere. Its heavy so don't use a cloth mat with it like the BenQ Zowie GS-R, it will feel like it's stuck in the mud unless you want CRAZY control. Use a faster mouse pad. I'm using an older artisan pad and its much better. The 400 hrs battery life is ONLY when high efficiency mode is enabled which will lower polling rate to 125hz AND you use 2 batteries. Other than that, its a 40 hr mouse (2 batteries) and you'll have to change the batteries out about once a week or depending how often you use it, so you'll need rechargeables.
Man i love how hyped you are everytime you present a product that you have a soft spot for :) hopefully we will see an rgb version soon. Also, i'd like to thank your for your old rival 3 video, you sold me into it, for me rival 3 is the claw master. I also changed the stock cable with a soft paracord one. Gotta say, the cable, even on a bungee, add alot of resistance to the movement. Now with paracord its flying :) I also paired it with an Apex 150 keyboard. Its a dream
Take my money Steelseries!!! I have Rival 3 cabled and I love it. Now that I'm on mac and PC, I was looking at a solution exactly like this. Awesome review, exactly what I wanted to hear about it.
I've had a Steelseries Sensei for about 5 years and the sensor has finally started to play up so going to get one of these, thanks for the awesome review!
I don't know why I have some sort of wall when thinking about a wireless mouse with batteries. But well... it's only 50 bucks so there are compromises to be done. Nice review as usual
I've never really felt the need to have a wireless mouse. I honestly just want steelseries to come out with a super-light, wired and affordable mouse. It's one of my favourite companies but they go very overboard with gimmicks (5xl mouse pad and 3xl rgb mouse pad, oled screen bumping the apex 7 up to significantly more expensive than the similar apex m750) and I just want them to release some simple stuff haha. Gotta respect them though, their products are top quality!
Hello! i watch your videos a lot and i want to say thank you i subscribed and your very awesome and i admire your work i feel like ive watched every video you had which is amazing! Like literally its the best like every persons need. I hope you get to 100000 subscribers. Or if Possible a million! So keep up a good work!
i just got my rival 3 four weeks ago and use it at my office about 7 hours a day. It's got sleep timer on after every 5 minutes. But its alr telling me i need to change batteries? It keeps flashing green every 5 min
I originally was looking at the Razer VM, but then I found your video on these. For only $10 more, you can get wireless AND bluetooth????! Awesome, great, good, imacculate, WHAT A STEAL. Thanks, you're awesome.
@@TheTechne Hey man it's nothing compared to what you do , you buy and buy products to review and don't too much in return this is the least i can do to help.
Hey techne! Been a viewer for a few months now, and I e gotta say I’ve been really enjoying your content. I would suggest that maybe you could do a review on the Corsair k100 keyboard? once again, been loving your content man. keep it up👍
I don't have a mac but a work laptop and a personal desktop. Lets say I pair the mouse via Bluetooth to the laptop and plug the dongle to the desktop, can I switch between two computers by just changing the mode with the Bluetooth/Dongle switch button?
I tried AAAA batteries instead of AAA on my new Rival 3 and they fit. I didn't even have to use tin foil, they stay put. They are much lighter than AAA batteries and my mouse is lighter now, and if I use only one AAAA it's even lighter.
Techne before you get big you gotta promise us before 100k ogs that you wont stop reading the comments cause a lot of people when they get big they dont as much as they used to
Does anyone know how to change the side buttons, default is set to scroll, I want them to go back and forward :/ I tried in SteelSeries Engine 3, but nothing works :(
Just wondering have someone try to use AAAA (4A) Battery for Rival 3 wireless ? And how about the feeling when use only one battery, i mean the balance of mouse because I don't like heavy mouse . I already have G305 but I love SS mouse design, it's fit my hand better and want to buy Rival 3 wireless but the weight and mouse balance make me a little bit confusing ?
I got the G-wolves skoll for 55$ on Amazon and I wouldn't switch it for any mouse I've tried. The lightweight gang allowed me to lower my DPI even further tbh
Hey Mr. Techne I just bought the tiger esports mouse pad (long teng) and choose it over the g sr se and was wondering if you could do a video comparing the two mouse pads and or reviewing the tiger esports mouse pad line? edit btw I choose the long teng because I heard the g sr se fades and dies out within a couple of months with use.
The Techne tbh no I’ve tried very few mouse pads and wanted good advice I couldn’t pick between tiger esports, the mousepad co pant , and the g sr se all I’ve heard was amazing but at the end choose the tiger esports won due to hearing its amazing, the design is also amazing and imo the best out of the 3, and third I already have a huge desk pad mouse pad that came with my table
There’s just so many good choices nowadays but with the divina line not coming back and hearing that the mousepads were out quickly it made me go with the tiger esports and hope fully I made the right decision
Is anyone aware if this mouse when turned onto the 2.4g known to mess with Wifi connections? My router is 2.4ghz and since buying the mouse my laptops connection to the router is spotty at best, I can watch videos on 1080p no problem but when I started using this mouse I cant even load a video at 480p. Just thought id leave this question here before I take things further and start calling my isp. Thanks folks
I got this mouse just today. I tried connecting it to my ps4 and it did not work. I put the dongle in the usb thingy it showed the mouse icon but it was not working in game.
I'm not sure what's up with this mouse but I had to set my sensitive 5x higher than what I normally use to even try to use this mouse it drove me nuts.
The techne i am getting the dt990 250ohms pro do I need a amp to power it i have a alienware aurora r9 I contacted there customer support they said I can fully power them without the amp
Man. I have this mouse i'm unable to hold a side button when its mapping to a keyboard key like say "Crlt" or "Alt". So its my mice defective or the software its trash??
I have the mouse as well - I'm not sure what you mean by holding a side button when mapping. You should be able to map the keys in the software, if it'll let you.
I say ion, just lithium ;)
ok
almost 100K!!!!!
There is some new steelseries mousepads I kind of want you to review and they have lighting on the side.
try lithium with tripl A adapter you can save cpl of grams
szaryszynszyl it uses triple A...

Great Review Techne! I really have enjoyed using this one, a little small for my liking but felt good for claw grip.
yeah to small for me also. but what a great product at only $50
@@TheTechne Yeah for sure

So close to 100k!! Good job tech!

does the cover to the mouse come off easily, by cover i mean the thing at the back that you take of to see the batteries.
I don't know why I have some sort of wall when thinking about a wireless mouse with batteries. But well... it's only 50 bucks so there are compromises to be done. Nice review as usual

Thanks for the review! I’ve been wondering if this is actually good or not!

Hey techne! Been a viewer for a few months now, and I e gotta say I’ve been really enjoying your content. I would suggest that maybe you could do a review on the Corsair k100 keyboard? once again, been loving your content man. keep it up👍
Great review as always from the best tech channel
Yes!! The rival 3 wireless. Thanks techne
congrats in advance on 100k
I have one question when using Bluetooth does it use more battery than the dongle or is it the opposite?
I don't have a mac but a work laptop and a personal desktop. Lets say I pair the mouse via Bluetooth to the laptop and plug the dongle to the desktop, can I switch between two computers by just changing the mode with the Bluetooth/Dongle switch button?
I tried AAAA batteries instead of AAA on my new Rival 3 and they fit. I didn't even have to use tin foil, they stay put. They are much lighter than AAA batteries and my mouse is lighter now, and if I use only one AAAA it's even lighter.
bro I saw same comment from different people in numerous reviews. You just copy paste it or what
Quick question, what's the better headset for ps4 gaming? Corsair HS45, JBL Quantum 300 or
Cooler Master MH-650 USB RGB
Wow, for $50 this is probably the best deal ever
This is a GREAT price and a GREAT mouse...this has to be AWESOME #TheTechne reviewed it!
Here i am again. Watching my fave reviewer even though i don't need any new gaming peripherals. Haha
YOOOOO THEY DROPPED A WIRELESS VERSION AYEEE
Technie ur so close to 100k subs!!!!!
Has to be in the top 3 most under rated youtubers
Informative video as always👌
lets go my man, love the vid
I haven’t watched in a while, but it looks like production quality did a 📈
hi! are you still using the mouse? if yes, is there any double clicking issues?
Techne before you get big you gotta promise us before 100k ogs that you wont stop reading the comments cause a lot of people when they get big they dont as much as they used to
I will always read comments, but it does get harder with more.
ya true but thanks
Techne You should do a comparison on the DeathAdder v2 pro and the G Pro Wireless seeing as the G Pro beat the viper
Does anyone know how to change the side buttons, default is set to scroll, I want them to go back and forward :/ I tried in SteelSeries Engine 3, but nothing works :(
is it better than the razer mamba wireless?
Hey should I go with Hyperx PS4 or fnitic react of the new elo from roccat or razer black shark
Will you review the new Arctis 7x or Arctis 7p?
yes, 9's first tomorrow actually ;)
The Techne Great to know:) Keep up the Great work man👍
I have small/medium hands. Would this be a good mouse for someone like me?
can you do a review or comparison of the apex pro tkl and clix matrix silver pleaseeee??
Just wondering have someone try to use AAAA (4A) Battery for Rival 3 wireless ?
And how about the feeling when use only one battery, i mean the balance of mouse because I don't like heavy mouse .
I already have G305 but I love SS mouse design, it's fit my hand better and want to buy Rival 3 wireless but the weight and mouse balance make me a little bit confusing ?
how do you install a lithium battery on the mouse? I have one, but I dont know how to install a lithium.
blast from the past!
I got the G-wolves skoll for 55$ on Amazon and I wouldn't switch it for any mouse I've tried. The lightweight gang allowed me to lower my DPI even further tbh
Do you think I can connect this mouse to an iPad Air 3rd gen and play games on it
hey, techne may i know your hand measurements? im looking to buy the deathadder but im worried it might be too big
Dude thank you for listening to my comment!
I love your content Techne!
thank you so much
Hey Mr. Techne I just bought the tiger esports mouse pad (long teng) and choose it over the g sr se and was wondering if you could do a video comparing the two mouse pads and or reviewing the tiger esports mouse pad line? edit btw I choose the long teng because I heard the g sr se fades and dies out within a couple of months with use.
Honestly have you tried the xtrfy gp4?
The Techne tbh no I’ve tried very few mouse pads and wanted good advice I couldn’t pick between tiger esports, the mousepad co pant , and the g sr se all I’ve heard was amazing but at the end choose the tiger esports won due to hearing its amazing, the design is also amazing and imo the best out of the 3, and third I already have a huge desk pad mouse pad that came with my table
There’s just so many good choices nowadays but with the divina line not coming back and hearing that the mousepads were out quickly it made me go with the tiger esports and hope fully I made the right decision
@@azannyy yeah so many to pick from. and a mouse pad is such personal preference, almost as much as your mouse
Does anyone know of any wireless mouse like the wired rival 300s?
I find the shape to be quite perfect but i very much preferr wireless.
Which one is better, this or the basilisk x hyperspeed?
Is anyone aware if this mouse when turned onto the 2.4g known to mess with Wifi connections? My router is 2.4ghz and since buying the mouse my laptops connection to the router is spotty at best, I can watch videos on 1080p no problem but when I started using this mouse I cant even load a video at 480p.

Are you sponsored all the products you review? Or do you buy them?
About half and half these days. I buy a lot still
Can’t find this for sale anywhere. Im late to the party just waiting for another release :(
love ya techne!
Do you mind reviewing wrist rests?
Love it legit review no bs
I got this mouse just today. I tried connecting it to my ps4 and it did not work. I put the dongle in the usb thingy it showed the mouse icon but it was not working in game.
I have very large hands, i know this mouse is small, but will it be good for me
the best competition for her in my opinion is the Raze Basilisk Xhyperspeed
Is this mouse better than razor mamba wireless
Luv the techneeeeeeeee luv u buddy
What's up with ur thumb ?????
split the nail :(
Teche, any special plans for 100K? Let's say, an hour long livestream showing off all the peripherals you have?? 😏😏
I'm not sure what's up with this mouse but I had to set my sensitive 5x higher than what I normally use to even try to use this mouse it drove me nuts.
The techne i am getting the dt990 250ohms pro do I need a amp to power it i have a alienware aurora r9 I contacted there customer support they said I can fully power them without the amp
you will need an amp for the 250ohm version. you can get the lower ohm version and be fine
Man. I have this mouse i'm unable to hold a side button when its mapping to a keyboard key like say "Crlt" or "Alt". So its my mice defective or the software its trash??
I have the mouse as well - I'm not sure what you mean by holding a side button when mapping. You should be able to map the keys in the software, if it'll let you.
Another great review
thank you
WHAT THE HECK FINALLY A WIRELESS Btw is it the same price?
i have the rival 3 wired if i want to upgrade should i get the g pro wireless or viper ultimate
gpw
your channel is amazing!
When does it come out or restock it
Love ur review there only honest
when you use bluetooth can you still use the software
Hi, how do I turn off the mouse sleep mode?
Can you please review the Pictek T16?
Wait for those aeron 3 5 and 9 release SOON
Is it out yet ?
Try Triple A lithium with either foil or Double A sleeve
You should compare it to corsair harpoon wireless, same price with bt also
Great review
thank you
Definitely like that grainy texture
Why is there no tensei ten wireless version 😞 would be so freaking nice
How would you compare this to the razed mamba wireless?
mamba is bigger, better for palm grip
