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

SteelSeries Rival 3 Wired Gen 2 - White Gaming Mouse

The SteelSeries Rival 3 Wired Gen 2 in White is a lightweight, high‑precision gaming mouse that delivers exceptional value without sacrificing performance. Weighing just 77 grams, its ambidextrous shape fits comfortably in any grip style, while the crisp white finish adds a clean, modern look to your 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. With a detachable USB‑C to USB‑A cable and large PTFE glide pads, the Rival 3 Wired Gen 2 is ready to compete.

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 battlestation, pair this white mouse with a comfortable wireless headset from FindHeadsets.

Compatibility & Design

The Rival 3 Wired Gen 2 works with Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, and even consoles (via USB). The white finish is a bright, matte white that resists fingerprints and matches white peripherals or PC cases. 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.

Why Choose This Product

The Rival 3 Wired Gen 2 is one of the best budget gaming mice on the market. Its TrueMove Core sensor offers pro‑grade tracking usually found in much more expensive mice. The 77g weight is light enough for fast flicks but still feels solid. The white color is a stylish alternative to black, making your setup unique. The detachable USB‑C cable is convenient – you can use any USB‑C cable if the original is lost. The mechanical switches and PTFE feet ensure longevity. For gamers on a budget who don’t want to compromise on performance, the Rival 3 is a top contender.
