Weighing in at 88 grams the Rival 310 is the same weight as the Roccat Kone Pure and glides effortlessly over the pad without losing any control. Just like its size the weight is sort of in the middle ground also. The size is great and it fits my 18 x 11 cm hands almost as good as the Razer Deathadder. Being 7 cm wide the 310 is a chunky mouse, which I prefer as it helps raise more of my hand off the desk. If I had to nit-pick id say its slightly too long but the length didn’t negatively impact my experience. It felt natural to palm or claw grip this mouse but it’s narrow enough to have a comfortable finger grip as well. The 310 is a medium-sized mouse and very similar in size to the G403 apart from being slightly longer. With the average dimensions of the Rival 310 (12.6 x 7 x 4.2 cm), it’s a mouse that can accommodate most hand sizes. The mouse is housed in a foam-like mould in a plain black box. The box as you expect from SteelSeries is simple but stylish and it advertises the product nicely with the features and specifications easy to find and read.

Thumb buttons – Not the easiest to reach.Great Tracking – TrueMove3 sensor performs well.Comfortable – Ergonomically designed for the right hand.SteelSeries have added thick rubber grips to the side for added control and style which anyone who previously had the Rival 110 will appreciate. The mouse contours help fit my grip and it sits nicely in the palm with the raised hump not being too obtrusive. Its simple ergonomic shape was welcoming and with its low weight, the mouse feels really comfortable to hold and move around the pad.

The first thing I noticed about the 310 is how uncomplicated it looked.

The 310 is home to arguably one of the best sensors around, the TrueMove3 optical sensor which boasts 1 to 1 tracking, low latency, and precision. The Rival 310 is the right-handed brother of the Sensei that SteelSeries says is an Esports-ready high-performance gaming mouse. Simple and lightweight, the Rival 310 still packs a heavy punch that won’t hurt your wallet.
