SteelSeries Professional Gaming Gear Rival 3 Wired Gen 2 - Black Gaming Mouse

SteelSeries Rival 3 Wired Gen 2 - Black Gaming Mouse

The SteelSeries Rival 3 Wired Gen 2 in Black is a lightweight, high‑precision wired gaming mouse that delivers exceptional value without compromising performance. Weighing just 77 grams, its ergonomic shape fits comfortably in any grip style, while the matte black finish offers a classic, understated look that matches any setup. Powered by the TrueMove Core optical sensor (8,500 CPI, 300 IPS, 35G acceleration), you get true 1‑to‑1 tracking with zero acceleration or smoothing – ideal for fast‑paced shooters, MOBAs, or everyday productivity. The Gen 2 model features durable mechanical switches rated for 60 million clicks, 6 programmable buttons, and vibrant 3‑zone RGB lighting.

How It Works

Plug the detachable USB‑C cable into your PC (or use the included USB‑A adapter). The mouse is plug‑and‑play, but you can download SteelSeries GG software to customize the 6 programmable buttons, adjust CPI (even per‑game profiles), and personalize the 3‑zone RGB lighting. The TrueMove Core sensor reads every movement with pixel‑perfect accuracy, ensuring your cursor goes exactly where you aim. The mechanical switches provide crisp, tactile feedback. The PTFE feet reduce friction, allowing the mouse to glide smoothly on any surface. For a complete gaming setup, pair this mouse with a comfortable wireless headset from FindHeadsets to hear every footstep and coordinate with your team.

Compatibility & Design

The Rival 3 Wired Gen 2 works with Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, and even consoles (via USB). The black finish is a matte, fingerprint‑resistant black. The ergonomic shape is ambidextrous (though side buttons are on the left only – right‑handed bias). Dimensions: 120.5mm x 67mm x 38mm. Weight: 77g (without cable). Buttons: 6 programmable (left/right, clickable scroll wheel, two sides, DPI). Cable: detachable USB‑C to USB‑A, braided, 1.8m. PTFE feet: 4 large glides. On‑board memory stores up to 5 profiles, so you can take your settings to LAN parties.
