Wassup LTT-forum!

 

I've been gaming with a Steelseries Rival 300 for years and I f*cking LOVE this mouse... But... It's seen better days. My second set of pads on the bottom is through now and the rubbers on the side... Well... What rubber? xD

 

So I was searching for a new Rival 300 but they are out of production and here in Belgium I cannot find anyone with leftover stock :(

I wonder if anyone here was as in love with the 300 and found a replacement that is just as good or better and feels similar to the hand? Let me know what mouse you'd recommend!

 

PS. I've tried the 310 and the Sensei 310 and really didn't like either :/

According to the site it's a claw/fingertip mouse mostly and I'm a bit of a palmer 😛

Also ambi-dextrous mice USUALLY don't fit me very well. Might see if I can lay a hand on one though! Thanks for the reply!

this is completely based on your hand measurements, you dont have to claw or fingertip the mouse.

 

you can also check out the rival 710, though that will be a bit expensive and the display is a gimmick. would also add the model D or model D- into the list.

The 710 looks expensive but looks similarly shaped as the old 300 :o

I upgraded a while back from the original Rival (which is pretty much the 300) to a Rival 600 and have been really satisfied. At first I wasn't much of a fan of the shape compared to the original since it's significantly less tall and it's also lighter than the 300 (with all the weights installed it's about the same weight), but I got used to it quite quickly.
