The cardboard sleeve holds a black box inside. Moving on, the unboxing experience remains unchanged from other SteelSeries mice. The back rear side of the mouse breaks down all of the features briefly. On one side, we have a side profile of the mouse, while the other lists the specifications. The front side of the box shows off a picture of the mouse, and a few features are viewable at the bottom left corner. The company pays attention to detail, even with the box itself. The Rival 310 arrives in the excellent SteelSeries packaging that we all know and love. With all that said, let’s have a closer look at this mighty offering from SteelSeries. It uses an ergonomic shape that is tailored to fight right-handed users. The Rival 310 has 12,000 CPI, bright RGB lighting, great split-trigger buttons, and a comfortable shape. The Rival 310 is cold hard proof of that.

SteelSeries has succeeded in pushing professional gaming to new boundaries.

They were one of the first companies to capitalize on the rise of gaming mice, Through the years, they have earned a lot of respect from Esports players and enthusiast gamers. We doubt that SteelSeries needs any introduction at this point. It sits right beside its brother, the Sensei 310 in the SteelSeries gaming mice lineup. We think that the Rival 310 is the perfect sweet spot for most gamers. While it has the name of the Rival 300 series, it is actually much closer to the Rival 700. Let’s wrap this review up and see how the SteelSeries Rival 310 stacks up.The SteelSeries Rival 310 aims to fix those issues.

The SteelSeries Engine 3 software worked well and I didn’t have any issues to note.

I would like Gamesense to expand to more games, but for now, it does have some cool uses and I really found the Discord notifications to be a cool visual alert for when I was around my PC and somebody would send me a message. Discord support allows you to set RGB alerts for when people send you messages or are talking, while audio visualizer provides RGB visuals in sync with music that is playing on your system. The SteelSeries Rival 310 supports Gamesense technology, which currently is somewhat lacking when it comes to actual game support, but there are a few cool applications supported. On top of making a mouse with excellent build quality, SteelSeries did a great job with the RGB lighting on this Rival 310. I opted for a purple and the pictures above show the results. The SteelSeries Engine 3 software allows for so much customization of the LED lighting, but I stick to the basics and go for static colors. You can program any of the six buttons on the Rival 310 to run macros, so the customization offered by the mouse is pretty extensive. In the image above, I have programmed a simple crouch-jump macro for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, a popular game that I like to play with the other guys on staff. Recording and setting Macros on the SteelSeries Engine 3 is very simple, with a record function that lets you record and save timed inputs. The CPI toggle button can be remapped if you are worried about switching CPI on accident, or if you want to run the same CPI at all times. There are only two CPI settings that can be toggled and you can’t disable one if you don’t like to change CPI. The default CPI settings are 8 and these can be adjusted up to 12,000. I found the default lift-off distance to be about a CD thickness (1.2 mm), though it is tough to get a completely accurate measurement of lift-off distance without the proper equipment. There is no ability to adjust lift-off distance, which is available on some of the other SteelSeries mice. The SteelSeries Engine 3 software works well, with the ability to set the CPI, accelleration, polling rate and angle snapping all in the main section of the Rival 310 customization area. The firmware version of the mouse was upgraded to 1.24.0.0, but I was unable to easily find a change log of what SteelSeries fixed with the firmware update. We used the latest version of the Engine 3 software as of writing this review, which is 3.11.7.

The SteelSeries Rival 310 did require a firmware update upon launching the Engine 3 software for the first time.
