SteelSeries Rival 110 gaming mouse features all-new sensor

steelseries-rival110When it comes to gaming peripherals, the mouse is one of the most important aspects. Gamers would not settle for anything less than the best, and the right kind of gaming mouse is able to make or break a particular gaming session. SteelSeries continues its legacy of delivering high quality gaming devices without having to break the bank with the introduction of the Rival 110. The SteelSeries Rival 110 gaming mouse will feature TrueMove1, which is an original sensor that has been co-designed with Pixart that has been touted to be able to deliver true 1-to-1 tracking, making it as accurate as the Rival 310 and Sensei 310.

The TrueMove1 sensor is always ready and raring to go when it comes to gaming competitions, being a 7,200 CPI, 240 IPS original, optical sensor. It will boast of advanced jitter reduction alongside an ultra-low signal to response latency. In other words, if you are rocking to the Rival 110, you will be able to enjoy true 1-to-1 tracking at esport CPIs. This kind of sensor is similar to the ones used for professional-level gaming, so that gamers end up with nothing but ultra-precise control.

For starters, the all-new Rival 110 will boast of an ergonomic six-button universal design while offering a comfortable grip regardless of your style. All of the mouse buttons — including the right and left click, do sport a very durable look while delivering a strong and consistent feel. Not only that, you do not need to go through the hassle of configuring your keys and actions to the mouse all over again when using different computers, since the on-board memory will let you save your settings directly to the mouse. Take note that this is not a wireless mouse, hence it is accompanied by a soft resistance-free rubber cable. The SteelSeries Rival 110 will retail for $39.99 apiece if you are interested, making it a bargain for such a high quality mouse.
