But even at 96gm, it’s still about 20-30gm heavier than it’s wired sibling. Removing a battery lowers the overall weight of the mouse by 10gms for easier movement. You can use one battery just fine but there’s an added benefit. Secondly, the rear end of the Rival 3 Wireless is now a back plate that hides a battery bay for two AAA batteries. This is obviously thanks to the mouse needing all the power it can get. The first is the lack of the RGB light strip around the base that I loved in the Rival 3. But there are some key differences beyond the missing tail. As I said, looking at the Rival 3 wireless is like looking at the Rival 3 with, um, no wire. So should you pay the extra AUD$30 over the wired Rival 3? Absolutely.
The Rival 3 has gone from decent gaming mouse to serious contender. All this powered by two AAA batteries that Steelseries claims will give you over 400 hours of use. There’s also a brand new 18000 CPI TrueMove Air sensor and mechanical switches. It uses Steelseries new dual channel Quantum 2.0 Wireless and Bluetooth for multiple ways to connect. Most obvious being that it’s now wireless - and not your garden variety kind either. That’s because so damn much has changed on the inside of the Rival 3 Wireless. Yes, it’s still the same exact shape, size and color - from outward appearances, it’s identical to its wired sibling.īut to quote Agent Smith from the Matrix, “As we all know, appearances can be deceiving”. You’d be partly right but that would dumb down what Steelseries has managed to achieve with this new mouse.
It’s easy to think that the Steelseries Rival 3 Wireless is just a Rival 3 that had its tail cut off.
