Our Verdict

Razer Orochi V2

SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless Gen 2

The Razer Orochi V2 and the SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless Gen 2 are both gaming mice that use disposable batteries rather than charging an internal battery with a cable. The Razer is lighter and features an egg-shaped design that works well for smaller hands using a palm, claw, or fingertip grip. It works with either one AA or one AAA battery. In contrast, the SteelSeries has a lower-profile shape with a wide, rounded back, making it better suited for claw or fingertip grips with medium or larger hands. It works using one or two AAA batteries.
