    The ultimate gaming mouse

    Perfect for gamers who don't need marketing gimmicks and multiple additional controls.
    Lightweight, durable, and easy to grip, it's a perfect mouse for the price (€40 in 2021).

    Dysfunctional product

    Dysfunctional product, obviously no refund, as always with LDLC. I will never order from them again.

    A very good mouse for the price

    Reactive, good looks, good price, but I think it will only last 4 years. Still a good product.

    Mouse

    The mouse works well, but it's a shame you need the internet manual to use it, as there's no paper manual in French.

    Good mouse but Win10 mini to configure

    It's a shame you have to have at least win10 to configure your mouse, especially if you don't want the leds....
    Otherwise a good, inexpensive mouse.

    Perfect

    I've been buying Steelseries products for as long as I can remember, so I decided to go for the Rival 3, which I already had for my laptop! It feels great in the hand!

    Silent, (discreet click), clarity of settings on the software.

    Nothing to say

    A pleasant, high-performance mouse. Despite its very competitive price, I'd like to thank the seller for recommending it to me.
