Yes, you sure can! Enabling the Independent X-Y feature allows you to set a different vertical and horizontal sensitivity setting (X and Y DPI).
We recommend reducing vertical drift when aiming in slower-paced tactical games where aiming is horizontal to keep crosshairs at head level and adjusting/increasing vertical aiming speed for fast-paced games where aiming is highly vertical.
The Independent X-Y feature can be enabled in GG and will save onto your mouse's onboard memory. This means that you can take it on the go and use this feature on any other device.

Hello there! We appreciate your interest in the Rival 3 Gen 2.
The super mesh cable measures out to 6 feet / 1.82 m long. This might make you think that the cable will weigh down your mouse a bit. Fear not, the super mesh material actually makes it feel super light. It might even feel like you're using a wireless mouse.
