SteelSeries Unveils True 1-to-1 Gaming Mouse Sensor
The TrueMove3 sensor is based on the a Pixart 3360 and promises "true 1-to-1 tracking" up to 3500 CPI. The Rival 310 is slightly smaller than the Rival 300 and has the same new textured grips as the Sensei 310.
SteelSeries sets a new standard in gaming mouse sensor technology with the launch of the TrueMove3 optical sensor, engineered in partnership with PixArt, becoming the first true 1-to-1 sensor.
SteelSeries releases the TrueMove3 sensor exclusively in the newly designed Sensei 310 and Rival 310 gaming mice.
“We are launching the first true, esports sensor,” said Ehtisham Rabbani, SteelSeries CEO. “Our brand was built more than 15 years ago to help esports pros win championships. We are proud and humbled that our gear has won more prize money than any other brand. We have done this by ignoring conventional wisdom, and focusing on what truly makes esports pros better - out of that quest comes the new TrueMove sensor.”
The TrueMove3 Sensor – The First True Esports Sensor
The TrueMove3 is a 12,000 CPI, 350 IPS optical sensor that SteelSeries built with sensor industry leader, PixArt. Its ultra-low-latency, rapid-response tracking delivers the most natural and accurate mouse movement. Unlike other mouse sensors bogged down with inefficient jitter reduction and tracking latency, TrueMove3’s 1-to-1 tracking from 100 to 3,500 CPI delivers true esports performance. No other gaming mouse in the world has ever offered this.
From 3,500 to 12,000 CPI the TrueMove3 uses new, advanced jitter reduction to deliver natural mouse movement without slowing down response time. The custom-engineered TrueMove3 SROM dramatically reduces response time and greatly increases accuracy.
Thanks to the exclusive collaboration with PixArt, the TrueMove3 is the first sensor of its kind and is only available in the Sensei 310 and Rival 310.
EG Dota 2 player, Syed “SumaiL” Hassan says, “I win because I work hard to be the best, and I need gear that can keep up - a mouse that makes me forget that I’m even using it. That’s what we need as players, gear to match our pace and be an extension of us. I’ve been winning LAN's using a prototype of the Sensei 310 since early this year - now it's my mouse, and, when I'm finished with it, it will have won millions.”
Sensei 310 - The Master Respawns
The legendary SteelSeries Sensei is back with enhanced technology and features in the acclaimed ambidextrous Sensei design. The mouse features 8-programmable buttons, the industry’s first pure silicone side grips, a new, exclusive split-trigger button design with mechanical switches that guarantee an industry-leading 50-million click ensuring lifelong durability for a fast and consistent click feel.
Rival 310 - The Right Hand
The Rival 310 is the newest member of the Rival line. The new Rival 310 shares all the same features and sensor as the Sensei 310, but in an ergonomic, right-handed design that the Rival line is recognized for. The new esports mouse includes six programmable buttons and a soft resistance-free rubber cable.
SteelSeries Engine Software
On-board memory allows the user to save settings, so gamers don’t need to reconfigure their settings for the mouse on different computers. The mouse is also compatible with SteelSeries Engine Apps like PrismSync and GameSense lighting to provide synchronized lighting effects across SteelSeries devices and display reactive illumination responses to in-game events.
The Sensei 310 and Rival 310 exclusively featuring SteelSeries TrueMove3 Sensor are available now on SteelSeries website each for $59.99 / €69.99.

There is no true 1:1 mouse out of the box. Because translating distance moved by mouse to cursor varies in dependence of screen size.
If they mean that 1cm upwards movement moves cursor up same amount like 1cm movement to side does move it sideways, then it is again false statement as there are hundreds mouses with variable movement ratios which user can set as they like.
And if they meant no acceleration, than they are quite many years too late to show.
So either way I say: "it is false advertisement".
Just marketing.
In the end it's just a rehash of the Sensei / Rival with a far superior sensor. It's an upgrade for current users, just not when coming from a newer Logitech mouse.
Though I'm getting one mostly because I vastly prefer the Sensei shape over the G Pro shape.
Yeah, the things companies say to try & sell products hey, they'd be lucky to have just one toe over the line on the good side of truth or lie!

So, for someone who's using the Logitech 502 that's starting to act up, would this be an upgrade or should I just get another 502?

I'd recommend to try other mouse, even different brand. See how it goes.
Just make sure to get one that being more or less recommended by most reviewers.

If it does things with cursor, just clean it.
If buttons getting bad, just replace them. Those are much cheaper alternatives to buying new mouse.
I do fix my mouses till they can't be fixed anymore. I fixed broken wheel 4 times, exchanged cable once on 1st Roccat Kone. And I did replace MB3 switch (MMB-wheel) on Kone XTD Optical + removed aging original painting and did my own.

I don't get how they can claim it's the first mouse with true 1 to 1 tracking. As far as I know this is just the same as the Delta Zero technology of Logitech, for example the Logitech G303 uses Delta Zero with Pixart 3366 sensor and they state:
"For maximum responsiveness, the PMW3366 sensor has zero smoothing or filtering across the entire DPI range."
So that seems like 1 to 1 tracking to me, can't see how Steelseries can claim they were the first to do it?!
