SteelSeries adds a splash of color to its entry-level mice.

The updated Rival 3 Gen 2 comes in black and white finishes, available either wired or wireless, and more exciting purple and blue versions exclusive to the wireless model. The big tech upgrade is click latency — now just 1.35ms wired, and 1.9ms wireless — but there’s a $5 price bump to go with it.

<em>To get the full range of colors you’ll have to opt for the $59.99 wireless model.</em>
<em>Battery life is up to 200 hours on 2.4GHz, or 450 over Bluetooth.</em>
<em>Other than the new colors, the Rival 3 design hasn’t changed much.</em>
<em>The $34.99 wired version comes in black or white, with an RGB underglow.</em>
