  • Number of Buttons

    For most cases, 5-6 buttons are more than enough (Left/middle/right click, two programmable side buttons, and one for adjusting the sensor resolution).

    2. Additional buttons offered by some mice are programmable buttons.

  • Sensor Type

    The sensor is the mechanism by which the mouse understands at what distance and with what speed we move it in order to translate our movement into cursor movement on the screen.

    Optical

    The most common type of sensor in gaming mice, lighter, more durable and accurate than lasers on non-glossy surfaces.

  • Sensor Resolution

    The sensor resolution refers to how small changes on the surface can be recognized by the sensor. In practice, with higher resolution, larger movements can be made with less mouse movement.

    For example, many gamers prefer low resolution for greater accuracy in FPS games, while they prefer higher resolution in real-time strategy games.

    Many mice have settings either through software or buttons so that they can operate at lower resolutions.

    8500

    Usually preferred resolutions are:

    2.

    •  400-800 DPI for MOBA (League of Legends, DOTA)
    •  400-1000 DPI for FPS (Counter-Strike, Call of Duty, Doom)
    •  1000-1200 DPI for RTS (StarCraft, Age of Empires)
    •  1000-1600 DPI for MMORPG (World of Warcraft, Elder Scrolls)

    3. Most gaming mice have adjustable DPI settings, so you can operate them at lower resolutions.

    4. Higher resolutions are rarely useful, and are mainly used for show by manufacturers.

  • RGB Lighting

    The mouse features built-in RGB multi-color lighting. The RGB lighting can take on various shades by combining the colors red, green, and blue, offering a modern aesthetic result.

    This review is about the colour: White

    Many years user of SteelSeries already from the Sensei FrostBlue (raw) where I recently made the change. I have no complaints from the Danish company regarding its reliability on gaming peripherals. So far the Rival 3 Gen 2 seems very comfortable, fully responsive and is very convenient and lightweight with many RGB lighting options. It is matte and not glossy and its use is mainly for gaming but also for everyday use.
    Definitely a value for money purchase.
