Endgame Gear XM2 8k
SteelSeries Rival 3 Gen 2
The Endgame Gear XM2 8k and the SteelSeries Rival 3 Gen 2 are both wired gaming mice with somewhat similar symmetrical shapes, but the Endgame Gear's hump sits farther toward the rear and its sides are more concave, while the SteelSeries has a more centered hump and straighter sides. The Endgame Gear is specifically designed for high-level competitive play. It's lighter, has higher-quality feet, a more flexible and lightweight cable, and delivers significantly better raw performance with a maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. It also uses specialized SDPT switches to achieve exceptionally low click latency. On the other hand, the SteelSeries has RGB lighting, which the Endgame Gear lacks.
