Description

With the SteelSeries Rival 3 Gen 2 Wireless Gaming Mouse Black, you can game for hours at a time. Thanks to the optical sensor with 18.000DPI, you can quickly glide the wireless gaming mouse across your desk during fast games. That way, you can always react with precision during gaming. You can also easily change the DPI during gaming with the DPI button. You can set the 2 extra thumb buttons yourself, so you can react faster than your opponent when you switch weapons or perform a special attack. Wirelessly connect the gaming mouse via Bluetooth and the USB-A dongle so you have enough freedom of movement while you game. This is a wireless gaming mouse with a 175-hour battery life via 2.4GHz or 450 hours via Bluetooth. That allows you to keep gaming for a long time without charging it.

Review is 5,2 out of 10.

This mouse is unusably slow on Mac.

Mouse tracking is unacceptably slow on Mac

I gave the mouse a month to convince me, but I am still very dissatisfied with this expensive purchase. On macOS, the tracking speed is set to maximum, yet I still have to reposition my hand twice to scroll across the entire screen. An online search indicates that this problem occurs with more people. It is not just the tracking speed; scrolling is also too slow (the same applies to double-clicking). This is not due to my computer: I have the same problem on another MacBook.

The mouse is only (partially) usable with the extra software from Steelseries (which does not run smoothly and is clearly not made for macOS). This makes it unsuitable for use on multiple devices, or on a Mac where you cannot/do not want to install unnecessary software.

The mouse also wakes up much too slowly. After the first movement, it takes up to a second and a half for the mouse to respond. By that time, one has long since instinctively switched to the trackpad to continue working there. The mouse's connection settings (AF, BT, dongle) are illegible on the bottom. I had to write the settings in with a black marker.
