> 3 dayGreat feeling mouse with awesome performance during use. However, the side grips are barely glued on and fell off over time. Trying to reattach them has been an exercise in frustration. I dont like having to replace a mouse that works fine just because they cheaped out on the adhesive.

> 3 dayIm diamond 3300 in overwatch, diamond 2 in league of legends, used to be DMG in cs:go, and plat 3 in rainbow siege. Gear is really important and I think that the steelseries rival 310 is a great mouse. Having used corsair M65 and steelseries sensei raw, Id say the rival 310 is best for gamers that use a palm grip. The buldge at the right side is hard to get used to, but acts as a great cushion for extended gaming periods (no hand cramping). Paired with a steelseries QCK, this mouse is great. Also, build quality feels WAY better than the sensei raw and cosair M65. The clicks are really responsive and satisfying. The side buttons are responsive as well (and actually exists compared to the M65). Also, screw the old steelseries sensei. The build quality on it was awful, and Im glad I moved to the new rival 310. It actually feels worth its price. Overall, I would suggest this mouse at the $60 price point. Very well built, and the RGB is cool to look at. Mouses polymer feels quality, and the buttons are extremely responsive and clean to use. I have not used the G503 yet, a disclaimer. But Im pretty sure this mouse would be on par or if not better. Emphasis on build quality on this mouse, once again. Miles better than previous steelseries mouses.

> 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 dayGood mouse for $37 but after about 1 year the adhesion of the grey pads on the sides starts to fail and the pads slip. The glue material also leaks out. I fixed this by removing the pads and all the glue material and using gorilla glue gel to adhere the pads. Should get plenty more use out of the mouse now.

> 3 dayFor the money this mouse is solid. Light despite its size but surface materials still feel high quality. Good feel on the scroll wheel. Mouse buttons feel slightly mushy but still have a nice tactile response. Excellent sensor, excellent software customization. Served me well for about 2 years of gaming. Ultimately the cable ended up tearing where it meets the mouse. This was solved with some electrical tape but unfortunately thats going to add extra drag. You get what you pay for in terms of build quality, but honestly this is a great option for gamers with a palm or hybrid grip.

> 3 dayDoesnt have the frills of some of the fancier gaming mice, but if you just need a few extra buttons, this is a good pick. I like it much more than the Logitech G502 Hero it replaced. Its lightweight and isnt adjustable, so if you want a heavier mouse or one with weights, look elsewhere. I prefer the lighter weight.

> 3 dayAccording to Amazon, I bought this mouse June 24th, 2018. I checked in on the store page to see the price on June 21st 2020, because the scroll wheel on the one I bought is starting to act up (behaving erratically when I scroll up) and I liked the mouse so I wanted to buy another if the price is right. I think Ill probably buy another. Its good. I like it. Nothing lasts forever and Im not mad about spending $30-40 once every two years on a good mouse. Its either that or $80-100 once every four years on a very high end mouse, so whatever.

> 3 dayI spend a lot of time at my computer, most of the new optical mice are so tiny. I have smallish to medium hands...what do big men do, use tweezers on the mouse? I found this mouse, which has a lot more features than I want or need, as well as some disco lights I havent learned to turn off. There are some annoying buttons near the thumb side that I trigger inadvertently at times, sending my web browser back a page or sending me down a link I had no interest of clicking. It has some heft, feels quality built, is a decent size and shape, and is wired. The body of the mouse basically fills the palm of my hand, they way they are supposed to...has some nice grippy rubber like stuff on the sides that I like.

> 3 dayStill works well with no hiccups. It has been very reliable as a mouse plus the application has been very easy to use and FAR LESSS annoying than any razer product with synapse that Ive used before.

> 3 dayWas very happy to find this mouse. When I started working from home, needed ambidextrous mouse that could hold up to high level gaming. Needed the ambi mouse because I do work / productivity tasks using the mouse left handed and then game right handed to spread the wear and tear on my hands out, so was very happy to find this option. Like the feel, size, button click feel etc, so very happy with my choice. . Taking 1 star back because the thumb buttons are too far forward. The back button is perfectly aligned with my thumb, but I have to reach / shift my hand to hit the front one with obviously takes time, disrupts the flow of gaming as I have to move my hand a little to hit the front thumb button and then move it back.
