Over the years, Computer rats have become expensive. Everything Has become expensive. It can be disappointing to see the list of gaming mice and can see even the cheapest options that reach $ 80, especially when the games now priced at $ 80 and new graphics cards regularly pass the $ 1,000 mark.
This is the place where the budget-oriented rats are perfect. Most high-ending rats are prior to the lower returns point for the average gamers, most of which do not require a fully balanced, ultra-lightweight, 8,000-hurts ice-level mouse accuracy. They are all the best to the best features, but they are not necessary for everyday gaming, where the possibility of lag, latency and frame rate drops will have more impact on your game, as your mouse has disappeared the movement of movement.
Among the budget mice, the stalcariies rival 3 General 2 shines. It does not prefer extreme light, unnecessarily high polling rates, or other eye -catching matrix. Instead, it focuses on giving mouse rock-solid specs that are quite good for the average gamer. I tested both the wired and wireless variants of rival 3 General 2, which retails for $ 35 and $ 60 respectively.

Both models are equipped with pixarted optical sensors that are capable of 18,000 dots per inch (DPI) and 400 inches per second – more than the average office mouse more competent and more than enough for regular gaming. The mouse operates at a 1,000-hurts polling rate, which is a very high standard for gaming mice today. The sensor seems to be flashy and liable, and I did not find the model for lag or miss inputs during regular use.
Wired and wireless models have almost the same size and shape – the only significant difference between the two is the panel seam on the wireless model. The size of rival 3 General 2 finds a great middle ground, which is ideal for the hands of the average size, but is usable for almost any size. The mouse size is standard but effective, and while it does not have quite sophisticated and smooth sculpture Razor’s wiper lineIt is serviceable, spontaneous button is placement, and feels comfortable during prolonged use. The two thumb buttons are well shaped for easy access, and the center button behind the scroll wheel is so small that I ever accidentally press it, but so long that it can be easily and quickly pressed.
The wired model weighs about 80 grams of cable (and with it with about 100), and a soft braided cable is not caught or friction does not arise during regular use. While it is still not as convenient as a wireless mouse, like goods Mouse bungee Not necessary at all. The biggest functional inter -weight between wired and wireless models is: the wireless model weighs 110 grams with a battery, which is quite high to move around.
Despite the extra weight, rival 3 General 2 wireless still seems easy to move and move; Large, smooth legs on the underside easily glide in both desks and moons. The weight added to the battery is noticeable, but they are kept high in the mouse instead of very bottom. It feels less as you are pulling around the extra weight, because the batteries are close to your hand and more centrally posted to the mouse.
