Our Verdict

MCHOSE L7 Pro

SteelSeries Rival 3 Gen 2

The MCHOSE L7 Pro and the SteelSeries Rival 3 Gen 2 have similar symmetrical shapes, although the MCHOSE is slightly smaller. The MCHOSE also offers wireless connectivity, significantly better raw performance, and a much lighter weight, making it a stronger choice for competitive, high-end FPS gaming. In comparison, the SteelSeries is a wired-only model. It has somewhat better build quality and feels sturdier, though it’s significantly heavier. Its feet are also higher-quality, and it has three customizable RGB lighting zones, which the MCHOSE lacks.
