"Gaming mice have seen increasingly complex designs over the years, with their abundance of buttons and extra features. However, not everyone needs 12 extra buttons spanning the entire side of their peripheral. SteelSeries is looking to bring back a more classic approach coupled with modifications to keep their product relevant and competitive in today’s PC gaming environment. The company has designed a purely right-handed, mid-level optical gaming mouse aptly named Rival. This rubber-gripped, sizable gaming mouse comes packed with a solid set of features at an affordable price, but is it enough to fight off other similarly-priced contenders?"

The Rival 310 from SteelSeries is a wallet friendly mouse with tournament level quality and features. A must buy for anyone looking for a new gaming mouse.
Remember the last time your mouse kicked the bed and you had to use that crappy one that came with your setup? Back it up with this $30 option.
That is what we did. We had a couple sent to us and when my EVGA Torq had to be replaced, I used this one while waiting for the replacement. I still have not switched them as it works great.
