what's up guys I'm random Frank P and

today we're gonna be checking out a

brand new lightweight budget gaming

mouse that is actually very impressive

for the price or to take a look at the

new SteelSeries rival three a $30 Mouse

so if you're in the market for a new

gaming mouse so you just don't want to

break the bank got you guys covered

today if you want to check it out I'll

put a link for you in the description

down below so first up in this trend of

lightweight mice this doesn't really

even advertise itself as such however

coming in at just 77 grams I'd say it

still falls under that category so it's

nice to see SteelSeries was able to cut

down a new overall weight without

actually putting holes in the shell now

the fact it's only $30 is just a big win

for consumers because a budget-friendly

Mouse that it's light on the wallet and

in the hands it's only gonna push the

rest of the market forward so when you

get it in you get it unboxed my first

impression was that it's just really

sleek and it is smaller than I thought

it would be the body is a matte black

plastic and it consists of six total

buttons - it's ambidextrous design and

although we have two side buttons it's

obviously more suited for right-handed

users ask for its dimensions it comes in

at 120 point 6 millimeters long 58.3

millimeters wide at the front and 67

millimeters at its widest point at the

butt stands 37.9 millimeters tall at its

highest point and is 21.5 millimeters

tall at the front of the scroll wheel I

think keeping that in mind it's gonna be

best suited for claw or fingertip grips

also depending on your hand size but

long time steel serious fans are gonna

be pretty familiar with the company's

design language over the years and then

for a quick visual comparison here's how

it stacks up to other popular

lightweight and B mice out there like

the mm 710 model Oh - G wolves haughty

and the Viper ultimate now I said before

my first impression was that it's sleek

all the grooves are economic by

definition and even though we use the

term

ergo when talking about the actual shape

by a literal definition of the word it

fits this mouse to a tee the side

buttons do sit flush against the side

which did take me a while to get used to

moving on the textured scroll wheel here

does have noticeable tactile steps and

it is pretty silent overall and muted

I'd say when it comes to the sound it

doesn't feel mushy or anything like that

but it's also that these sharp is

feeling click either

I'll quiet down real quick

get here but we'll do a sound test left

and right clicks and the side buttons

and then flipping it belly-up we can see

it's smiling at us now you can and see

it but inside the mouse is a new steel

series and Pixar optical sensor which is

their true move core this is the first

SteelSeries mouse who feature this

particular sensor but it's pretty much

their version of the pmw 3331 the sensor

does also help save some money in terms

of production cost and it's a 100 to

8,500 CPI range so we don't have those

unnecessary options set this to like

20,000 dpi 8500 should be you know more

than enough for most people as for the

feet here nothing like hyper glides or

anything it is your traditional Teflon

material and they have these kind of

cutouts underneath the fees you can see

what you can use to easier you know pry

those feet off if you want to swap them

out or place them in the future

we're also just removed than to have

access to the screws if you want to do

some internal modding on my mad cats

glide 38 which is a rubberized hybrid

mousepad as you'd expect this makes

anything feel like it's on ice very

little resistance overall which is good

feels nice on here and then to your

traditional cloth mousepad pretty much

same story it's very smooth glide

without a hiccup but this obviously

would benefit from hyper glides but what

I think is more important here is the

cable it doesn't have a fancy name it's

not a paracord it's not braided it's

rubber as you can see but it still

offers a lot of flexibility when you

hold the cable near the tip of the mouse

you want to see the level of resistance

or if it budges or pushes back

so when holding the cable say 4-5 inches

away from the tip of the mouse and you

push it and the mass itself doesn't move

that's a good thing that means when

you're gaming the cable itself isn't

gonna push back or offer any negative

resistance again would this benefit from

a paracord or something lighter if you

wanted to maybe swap this out in the

future yes of course but the fact that

it's still very flexible on a mouse at

this price point is very impressive

so when gaming it just feels very

natural in the hand it doesn't feel

cheap it doesn't feel like a $30 Mouse

which is the overall big takeaway I'd

say as 77 grams it's pretty much on par

with my main Mouse the Viper ultimate so

there wasn't a big transition period or

anything to get used to it I play that

600 dpi

I mean CPI I got to share some slice

with the discord fan I hear him down

there now headed to their Steel series 3

software it's pretty straightforward and

all laid out right in front of you which

I like there's not endless amount of

tabs where things are hidden here you

can reassign the mouse buttons to macros

you create you can adjust the pulling

rate angle snapping which I wouldn't

touch acceleration/deceleration and your

CPI levels by default there are two

saved to the mass but you could

obviously add more up to 5 levels and it

actually has onboard storage you can

just keep them all saved to the mass

itself again ranging from 100 to 8500

the increments are also adjustable in

levels of 100 so keep that in mind you

can't have like 550 for example and then

yes illumination for the RGB lights

because as you saw it has RGB built in

there are three different zones

technically so you can just select them

pick what kind of the colors you want

for the some of the presets or determine

your own colors you want you can add to

the color wheel up top this is bigger

pretty much just regular gradient effect

that you would see transitions through

the three depending on the zones you

have selected it'll all change

accordingly there's also some other

things you can pick from pretty limited

in terms of the effects but it's really

not a big deal you also have me

breathing mode which is you know color

is breathing from a color to black also

can change up what that color is

obviously if you want you could just

disable the color altogether if you

don't want any lights on or you can pick

it to be a steady color just for you

know one static effect and it's gonna be

there pretty much same thing in terms of

these zones say you want the the front

half or the top two zones to be one

color and the other zone a different

color you can do that to kind of make it

pretty unique

transition again it's static so it's not

gonna be distracting or anything but you

can then assign the zone to a different

effect if you want so you could have

just the front of the mouse a certain

color the middle zone doing some RGB

effect and then a different color for

the third zone so you have that

customization which is pretty cool

and the lights are actually decently

bright here but as far as I can tell the

software and there is no brightness

level adjustment so if you want it to be

dimmer you just have to go to the color

wheel and pick a darker gradient of that

color so all things considered for $30

this is very impressive

can i nitpick some things yes I would

have loved some type or glass or taffy

or something I would recommend possibly

you know swapping the cable out even

though it's very flexible and stuff

obviously it would benefit from a

lighter cable and stuff I do wish the

the clicks were a little bit more

tactile but in the grand scheme of

things for $30 none of those are a

deal-breaker when you're talking budget

gaming mice there's a lot of options out

there a lot of knockoff options on

Amazon but you really cannot beat this

everything that they're offering here is

really unparalleled on the market we saw

a model Oh kind of you know break the

ground then in the summer time and put

out a $50 lightweight mouse so for here

a $30 mouse that is you know a bit

setback in terms of features and stuff

for anybody looking to save money

pick up a brain and give me a mouse and

you're on a budget don't have a lot to

spend $30 is uh it's hard to say no to

this so really impressive what's

SteelSeries did here with the rival

three kit recommended enough if you're

on a budget if you want to check it out
