SteelSeriesAerox 3 Wireless - Holey RGB Gaming Mouse - Ultra-lightweight Water Resistant Design - 18K DPI TrueMove Air Optical Sensor - Lag-free 2.4GHz / Bluetooth Wireless - Onyx Black

Got the Aerox 3 2022 for £59.99 which was an offer. I have relatively large hands and I am super happy with it. I play FPS games mostly and use a claw grip, which this mouse is very suitable for. Had it for a few days now, so probably early to talk about durability, but at first glance, it feels solid. Clicky main buttons which I like. Not sure about the 2 thin side buttons. Have been ok so far for me, but may not be for everyone due to their very thin design.Worked seamlessly, easy to install and the software popped up an install window as soon as the mouse was connected which was nice. Spared me surfing the net looking for Steelseries dedicated software. Super responsive as promised by the advertisement. Includes a USB to USB-C cable which plugs into a intermidiary between the cable and the receiver which I keep close to the mouse. I was ready to go out of the box. Brilliant!Last but not least, it is really light. Feels as heavy as its shell should be. The internals barely weigh anything. I came from a Corsair Scimitar which was a proper chonker, so the difference in weight was very striking.All in all, I recommend this mouse for those out there with medium to large hands who use claw grip when using their mouse and are looking for a decently priced, lightweight, wireless option for gaming.

Its really a good mouse. I can't find a thing in it to complain about. Its precise, its light - very light indeed (68 gm), tons of funky lights underneath to boost up your mood if you want, and it glides on the desk surface very smoothly. Go for it; I think it is worth that money.

The Aerox 3 wireless is an incredible value for money buy, its not only one of the lightest wireless mice you can buy, it has one of the best shapes on the market and has battery to boot.The advertised battery life of 200 hours is in Bluetooth mode ONLY, which needs to be made more clear, however the actual battery life whilst using the 2.4GHz (which is recommended for gaming) is an incredible 80 hours of use which is the longest of all the lightweight wireless mice. Along side the huge battery it comes with USB-C fast charging, which not only gets you back in the game quickly it's also a high quality paracord like cable. This cable means it feels as close to wireless as possible, other, more expensive mice still use old thick rubber cabling which definitely hampers the experience whilst charging.The build quality is exceptional as per usual for Steelseries including an IP54 rating with 80m TTC Gold switches that are one my new favourites, no creaks with the shell, however the DPI button can be activated whilst unnaturally holding the top and bottom of the mouse and squeezing (I dont see any moment when you would hold a mouse like this), this cannot be reproduced by pushing on the mouse into a pad. A few areas where people have had problems with the Aerox is the feet included and the sensor placement, the feet shape is an unconventional circle, with one in each corner, there are reports of scratching and lint build up over time, I personally have experienced none of these problems and found them to have a great glide, being one of the best stock feet I've used. The sensor is also unconventional in it being placed back further than most, the one time I have noticed this being an issue is if you lift from the front first as it will track for slightly longer than normal due to the sensor staying closer to the pad for longer. Otherwise from general use I had no problems with tracking or flicking when compared to mice with a more conventional placement.Overall: If you love the rival 3 shape, you want wireless, you want lightweight, its a no brainer. If you have not tried the rival 3 and are unsure about the shape, its great for all grip styles, with a strength in claw and a good size for fingertip for all hand sizes, if you palm I can recommend it for smaller-medium hands, large hands may not find it wide enough. Grips and sizes aside, its a feature packed mouse, with great build quality and comparable specs to mice that are 1.5 times the price, at £100 its a steal.

🎨 Aesthetic - ⭐⭐⭐⭐The mouse looks amazing with its light and sleek design, the honeycomb design allows the RGB to shine though to perfectly and displays its bright and vibrant colours throughout the mouse. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars due to the amount of dust that can accumulate in the mouse due to the holes though out if not maintained often.💪 Build Quality - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The mouse is both lightweight and durable, which makes this mouse perfect for the long gaming session. This mouse is also good for competitive games such as CSGO due to its lightweight, making it easier to flick left to right, with the help of the stock mouse skates which allows the mouse to glide effortlessly.🛠️ Practicality -⭐⭐⭐For a wired mouse all I can give is a 3 star. However this does not mean that this mouse is not any less practical than any other wired mouse, however I do think that any wireless mouse will beat this one in this section as there are no wires in the way whilst gaming, which in some competitive games can make a difference,💲 Price - ⭐⭐⭐⭐For the price I think that this mouse is a good pick, its light weight, ergonomic for both handed people and comes with rgb and reprogrammable buttons, this is a very good mouse and would buy again if it was on sale or not.Overall Score - 26/30
