> 3 dayI dont play games daily, just need a quality mouse with high pointer precision AND ambidextrous design. I have to swtich hand as years of using mouse on right arm is causing RSI on every joints in the arm, the worst is shoulder. Only have it for a few hours, construction is good, at least comparable to Logitech G402. Side buttons are not on the same level as the mains though. All buttons are programmable, but I could only use the preset command, eg, when trying to record ALT+F4 as key setting, it immediately close. Logitech and Microsoft can intercept and record this command. It does have Windows preset to close application but direct keyboard command has higher priority than OSs. The shape is like the early Microsoft Intellimouse Optical Mouse, a mouse(multiple units) I used for nearly 10 years until it get phase out. I heard the original Sensei was made to imitate the Intellimouse Optical Mouse. Being the user for nearly 10 years, I find the Sensei 310 to be wider but lower in height. Would have prefer the originals shape as it would be more comfortable for web browsing and leisure uses with palm grip. If you are looking for ambidextrous mouse with sensible price for everyday uses and casual gaming, this is highly recommended.

Greater than one weekSensei 310 is an excellent ambi mouse. Love the silicone side grips, probably one of the most comfortable mice Ive used so far. Im on the fence on whether this will replace my fk2 as my main gaming mouse, this mouse is comfortable! Honestly I was suprised due to how low of profile this mouse has. The sensor is excellent quality with precise 1:1 tracking for FPS (tournament grade). Can definitely use this for many different game genres. Great for someone who wants a nice mouse thats not too flashy but hits a home run in performance. 2 RGB lighting zones, very aesthetically pleasing. The SteelSeries software is easy to install and use. It has a matte black finish with really crisp feeling LMB RMB clicks. My only gripe is that I wish the scroll wheel was tighter, not as much resistance that I was hoping for. Im sure it will be good for web surfing and document browsing but for gaming functionality a little more resistance wouldve been nice. The triggers are split on this mouse with omron mech switches which apparently boasts a 50 million click guarantee. 2 buttons on the left side of the mouse along with 2 buttons on the right side of the mouse. They are thin enough and placed well to avoid accidental key press, could be a tad larger in size but still very well done. Since I just received this mouse and started using it I cannot comment yet on the durability of this mouse but from a short hand experience the build quality is good so my expectations of a good length of life is there for me. Definitely feels like it will last longer physically then the rival 300 series I was previously using as the grips on the sides wore down incredibly fast leaving the mouse to have a very battle scarred look. Quick deterioration = change of shape = inconsistency in grip (IMO). Hopefully the silicone grips do the trick. Note this mouse is pretty light, great for some but not for all. Definitely doesnt hinder the feel of quality to me. Highly recommend this mouse, especially for all you competitive players out there. Great job SteelSeries, new favorite mouse added to my collection (replaced the rival series for me).

> 3 dayThis is my first left handed mouse. in the past, the only left handed mice i could find and like 12 buttons and were for hardcore gamers. I felt guilty ordering it, because my old mouse, although showing wear and tear, still worked. Boy am i glad I went for it. It is light, very precise, the software for it is actually good which I cannot say about R---r or L-----ch or any of the cheap CN knockoffs ive gotten. Right out of the box, the polling rate and DPI settings are exactly what I use, they know their gamer audience. The biggest surprise tho was the simple rubber-ish grip on both sides - I am more of a claw user and didnt realize how much energy I was putting into just moving my old slick plastic mouse. Not only is it more snappy and accurate to use, it is FAR less fatiguing! I am o glad I took a chance on SteelSeries!

> 3 dayBought this mouse to replace a different brand gaming mouse that developed a sticky left button. This one was about the same pricing and seemed to have great reviews and my original brand was not available anymore. I see a tremendous difference in how the courser acts with this mouse versus my previous one. This one seems to be very jerky as you move the courser across the screen. My previous one is very smooth comparatively. I switch them out a couple times just to verify the difference. I have tried a variety of settings from very low dpi to very hi dpi. The travel of the courser changes speed across the screen with dpi changes but it still seems to want to, I dont know, dance, jitter, make little jerky movements, not sure what to call the movement but it is anything but smooth. I can only say that it is better then no mouse but I wouldnt call it a gaming mouse. Not recommended for games especially for FPSs.

> 3 dayTL;DR : If youre on the fence, look no further, but this mouse. You will no be disappointed. I bought this mouse in a pinch after my Logitech G203 had failed. I was expecting less than I got, and expectations were more than exceeded with good-for-large-hands ergonomics. A little wide but thats okay. The plastics are solid, however the rubber grips do get a little sweaty for long term play. Slides around like air even for being on the heavy side compared to many pro and boutique mice that are out there at nearly triple the cost, or more. I LOVE the SteelSeries software for controlling RGB and mouse DPI. Its straight forward and comes with more advanced controls than many competitors. Considering Logitechs lackluster software as of the second half of 2019, I may be considering SteelSeries as my next keyboard canidate.

> 3 dayI had bought this mouse and used it for about three days. Im still using it but as an avid gamer I would that this mouse is great mouse for gaming, it very easy to use and customize( FOR MEDIUM OR LARGE HANDS). However, I saw some complaints about the grips of the mouse sliding off due to intense use, hasn’t happened to me yet but overall I give the mouse 4/5 stars.

> 3 dayThe quality isnt the issue. Thats great without question. The only gripe is the right side of the mouse has an uncomfortable place for your fingers to lay. For me at least it forces my two fingers on that side to be half on half off the mouse.

> 3 dayI am thoroughly impressed with this mouse, the Rival 310. Overall the build quality is the best Ive encountered in a mouse so far. I have previously been a Logitech loyalist but am now converted to SteelSeries. I am comparing the Rival 310 to my previous mice (G900, G400, MX510, G7, and various others not pictured), and I can immediately notice the difference in build quality. Just holding the mouse feels good. It is like touching the soft-touch plastics in a luxury car vs your average econo car. This is not meant to be a review of the Logitechs but holding the Rival 310 you can feel the difference. The Logitech G900 (retailed for double the price of the 310) feels thin, hard, and hollow. Shake the Rival 310 and nothing rattles or moves - it feels solid yet relatively light weight and well balanced. The mouse clicks on the 310 feel even no matter where on the button I press. The wheel is smooth, although I feel like the movement between scroll bumps is a little too much. The mouse feet/pads feel good not super slippery on a cloth mat. The only downside, I think it is a little small and flat for a claw grip and I have medium hands. You can see in the pics, the G400 has a higher bump and fits better for me. But with time, I can adjust. I have done some research before making this purchase and watched/read a bunch of mouse reviews and one thing Ive noticed is the lack of mention of build quality in choosing a mouse. Keep in mind those reviews usually are sponsored. But one thing I do agree with is that modern mouse sensors at the top end of gaming mice are pretty much on par so choosing a mouse based on how it feels and handles becomes more important. For me, build quality is one of the most important factors in choosing a mouse - you are holding and interacting with it and therefore need it to feel solid. Ill be honest, Im pretty heavy handed, like a raging monkey so I need something that can take a beating. An easy test, just squeeze your mouse. When I squeeze my G900 it creaks and gives. The Rival 310 does not. In fairness to Logitech, the G400 (much older than the G900) also did not creak and felt like a more solid mouse. Regarding software, cant complain, its pretty straightforward. I appreciate that the software is pretty lightweight compared to others like Razers and Logitechs. I only used it to configure the cpi. I initially purchased the Rival 310 to try out as a replacement for the G900 (broken with double-click problem) but ended becoming a SteelSeries convert.

> 3 dayWhen I got this mouse, I was questioning whether or not it was a good decision. However, all fears were allayed when I actually used the thing. On a SteelSeries mousepad, it is very smooth and accurate. The customization software was easy to work with and straightforward. The scroll wheel moves in firm increments, good for cycling through weapons. :) The dpi settings are above and beyond what I need, but theyre pretty impressive anyway. The finger buttons are wonderful. The side buttons are helpful especially when gaming. The grips on the side are very comfortable and show no signs of falling off. I would say this mouse is groovy. Hope potential buyers read this.

> 3 dayThis is the best mouse Ive found for large (XL to 2XL) hands. The reason for not receiving 5 stars is the cord comes highly folded in the box causing continuous knotting during use.
