SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless 18000 CPI
The SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless is a gaming mouse built for players who want a lightweight, ambidextrous shape with dual wireless connectivity. It uses a TrueMove Air optical sensor that delivers true 1-to-1 tracking at up to 18000 CPI, 400 IPS and 40G acceleration. Six programmable buttons and 60 million click mechanical switches provide durable input for competitive sessions. The mouse operates on a single charge for over 400 hours in high-efficiency mode.
Upgrade from wired or single-mode wireless
This model replaces a tethered mouse or a Bluetooth-only peripheral by adding a 2.4 GHz connection that matches wired latency. The jump is worth it when you need both rock-solid gaming performance at a desk and cable-free convenience on a laptop or console without carrying a dongle. The Quantum 2.0 chip transmits at 2 Mbps and automatically optimises channels for stability. Buyers who need more than six buttons or an adjustable weight system should look elsewhere.
Limits of Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4 GHz
Bluetooth 5.0 offers broad device compatibility across Windows, macOS, Linux, Xbox and PlayStation, but its bandwidth and latency are higher than the dedicated 2.4 GHz link. The 2.4 GHz mode requires a free USB port for the included receiver, which stores inside the mouse when travelling. Performance on surfaces with very low texture may vary because the optical sensor relies on surface detail for tracking.
