SteelSeries Rival Pro review: Rock solid connectivity, speed and a nifty battery system
The SteelSeries Rival Pro is a high-end wireless gaming mouse designed to match or outperform wired models on responsiveness while avoiding common wireless lag. Its ultra-wideband connection is intended to sidestep congestion from nearby devices, making the mouse feel consistently fast, though its $180 price is steep.
The mouse weighs 53 grams and has a right-handed shape, programmable side buttons and a fast, accurate sensor with adjustable DPI. Its desk-side base station houses the UWB radio and charges removable batteries, supporting effectively continuous use; the scroll wheel is less suited to productivity, and the article notes that UWB works best with few objects between mouse and receiver.
In short
- UWB connectivity keeps response quick amid nearby wireless traffic.
- The 53-gram mouse has a desk-side base station and removable batteries.
- At $180, it is costly and its scroll wheel is basic.
