Graphs Description The Physical Characteristics comparison is just a viewable representation of the devices' length, width, height and weight. Sensor, Latency and Other Features are, instead, computed within the range 0-->100, taking into account if the variable is getting better with the increase of its value (e.g the highest max DPI, the better it is) or vice versa (the lowest Click Latency, the better); for example, a score of 50 for both devices means they are equal, scores of 70 and 30 mean that first one better. So, the data are homogeneous to provide immediate meaning, higher bar(s) means better value(s). An empty graph means that there is not enough data to compute that comparison (one value or both are missing).

Final Vs Words

Aiding our visitors to the final choice between the mice.

This final paragraph will help you in the decision making process, between Razer Basilisk V3 Pro and SteelSeries Rival 310, and in selecting the mouse that is performing better and best suits your needs. We are aware that every user has own needs and preferences, due to this each mouse could be better for some features and worse for other ones. The purpose of the text is to highlight this possibility and generate an "overall score" for a purchase decision.

First of all, both mice share the same utilization aim, Gaming mouse. The first one is younger, 2 years old, being released in the 2022, while Rival 310 is older, 7 years old, being released in the 2017. The production age difference is 5 year(s). This makes the Basilisk V3 Pro kind of more attractive in terms of freshness.

• Dimensions, Weight, Ergonomy 📐⚖️🫳

When it comes to evaluate mice dimensions, you should take into consideration the size of your hand and check if it would properly fit it or not. In this case, you should check which mice would be the fittest. Compared to Rival 310 mouse, Basilisk V3 Pro is ~2.40 mm (or ~0.09 in) Longer, ~5.30 mm (or ~0.21 in) Wider and ~0.52 mm (or ~0.02 in) Higher, which makes it, overally, 8.22 mm (or 0.32 in) slightly bigger and better suiting greater hands.

Considering the weight, Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is 21% heavier, a difference of 23.70 g (0.05 lbs), which can be considered quite significant. We do not express a particular preference for heavier or lighter mice, being this a completely personal objective preference. Anyway, both mice does not offer weight personalization .

Regarding the Ergonomy, both mice are meant to be used with your right hand. They offer the same grip, Palm grip, Claw grip; the degree of adaptability is the same and equal to 2.

• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️

Let's now compare Razer Basilisk V3 Pro sensor with the one of SteelSeries Rival 310. The two mice share the same sensor technology, that is Optical, but different sensor model: Focus Pro 30K equipped by Basilisk V3 Pro and TrueMove3 used by Rival 310. It is very important to say that, although tech and model sometimes coincide, the assembly and composition of interior circuits might result in different specs and latencies.

Resolution, Max Acceleration and Max Tracking, Polling Rate and Lift Off
The mice offer different resolution range (DPImax - DPImin), the Basilisk V3 Pro provides 29900 DPI/CPI, while Rival 310 offers 11900 DPI/CPI, meaning that the first one has way larger range. Consider picking up the sensitivity range that mostly suits your needs, depending on the aim (Gaming/Business) but also the kind of game you are going to use it mostly (e.g. FPS is different than RTS or MOBA). If you need a higher precision mouse, meaning that for the same length of shift the mouse will recognize more movement, "reading" more dots per inch and, in other words, will move faster on the screen, Basilisk V3 Pro is offering 60% better Max Resolution, 18000 More DPI/CPI.

As for the Maximum Acceleration, which measures the maximum pull force in G(s) that the sensor can trace before inconsistencies occur, Basilisk V3 Pro shows a better value, 70 G, a moderate difference of 20 G. Going on, taking into account the Maximum Tracking Speed, the velocity (inches per second) that the mouse can move at before it starts to loose track and cause anomalies, Basilisk V3 Pro shows a preferable value, 750 IPS, a great difference of 400 IPS. Take into account that max G and max IPS mostly affect activities requiring very fast mouse shift, together with the shift latency that we will analyse further in this section.

Basilisk V3 Pro has a Polling Rate of 4000 Hz, in other words it reports data to computer 1 time every 0.25 ms, while Rival 310 is characterized by 1000 Hz or an input every 1.00 ms, making this last one having 75% worse Polling Rate. Lastly, the Lift Off distance of Rival 310 shows an higher value, 1.2 mm, a small difference of 0.20 mm. Anyway, Basilisk V3 Pro offers adjustable lift off distance through software.

Click and Shift Latencies

Razer Basilisk V3 Pro has lower click latency than SteelSeries Rival 310, a great difference of 10.30 ms, 82% better Click Latency, which can be evaluated very significant, in terms of compared performance. Anyway, we feel it is important to underline that the differences in latencies are often more perceptible from the machine's point of view rather than human's, reducing the real impact of these values and deviations. At the moment there is no available data to compare the mice shift latency, since the data of Rival 310 is missing. Contact us to request priority data update. However, Basilisk V3 Pro has a shift latency of 7.57 ms which can be considered very good , compared to a medium quality mouse.

• Other Features 📎

Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with different Switch Technology, Basilisk V3 Pro has Optical Gen-3 while Rival 310 has Omron; moreover, the Switch lifespan of first mouse is 90 millions clicks while the second is 50 millions clicks, 44% better Lifespan, a difference of 40 millions clicks that can be evaluated very significant. The Feet Material is better for Basilisk V3 Pro, being this Virgin Grade PTFE. Considering the available Number of Buttons, 11 offered by first mouse and 6 offered by the second one, a moderate difference of 5 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, the features offered by Razer Basilisk V3 Pro are On board Memory, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB, Adjustable Scroll-Wheel Resistance, while SteelSeries Rival 310 is giving On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB.
