SteelSeriesAerox 5 Wireless - Holey RGB Gaming Mouse - Ultra-lightweight Water Resistant Design - 9 Buttons - Lag-free 2.4GHz / Bluetooth Wireless - 18K DPI TrueMove Air Optical Sensor

The SteelSeries Aerox 5 has significantly enhanced my gaming experience. Its ultra-lightweight design, achieved through a honeycomb shell, makes it comfortable for extended gaming sessions. The nine programmable buttons, including a sniper button and a rocker, offer extensive customization, allowing me to tailor the mouse to various gaming genres.Equipped with the TrueMove Air sensor, the Aerox 5 provides precise tracking with a CPI range from 100 to 18,000. The TTC Golden Micro switches for the main buttons feel snappy and are rated for 80 million clicks, ensuring durability. The pure PTFE feet allow for smooth gliding across my mousepad, enhancing in-game precision.However, the honeycomb design, while functional for weight reduction, might not appeal to everyone aesthetically. Additionally, the mouse lacks wireless connectivity options, which could be a drawback for those seeking a cable-free setup.Overall, the SteelSeries Aerox 5 has significantly improved my gaming experience with its lightweight build and customizable features. I highly recommend it to gamers looking for a versatile and responsive mouse.

I love this mouse. The software is a bit buggy sometimes but it’s never really caused an issue and it resolves itself very quickly. The battery life is great and charges quickly too. The buttons are intuitive to use and it feels lovely in the hand, it’s quite light weight too. Can’t stress how much I love this mouse.

High quality mouse, it is exceptionally light but feels very premium. Only downside is that the battery drains very quickly.

Works amazing very responsive and great value. Weighs very little and perfect size for my hand fits perfectly for an nice comfortable grip across long gaming sessions.

Mouse feels solid, buttons were clicky and the weight was pleasing (it is very light). The mouse can connect via proprietary WIFI dingle, Bluetooth or use USB cable. In use however, I was plagued by frequent freezing of the cursor regardless of using Bluetooth, dongle or a cable. The mouse would never disconnect but would just freeze and is a problem I've never had with gaming mice prior nor with the Logitech G Pro mouse I have replaced it with.I also need to mention some quality-of-life issues. The SteelSeries software first and foremost is terrible to use and is bloated with no end of adverts and subscription stuff shoved into it. Secondly, unlike Logitech G mice at cheaper price points, there's no onboard profile support, so you have to use the software to set RGB, sensitivity and polling rate. The settings also only work if you use the dongle or cable, connecting the mouse via Bluetooth means the settings can't be modified in the software so the mouse jus cycles thru RGB constantly and can't be configured.Plenty of people on tech sites and Reddit complaining about the tracking issues and the software problems. I gave up after a week and sent it back and replaced with a Logitech G Pro wireless mouse that's working fine. It was also fractionally cheaper.

Best mouse ive had, not too many side buttons bulking out the side and it’s perfectly light for what i wanted.

To start off it was pretty good, moved well and was very responsive. Only 3-5 months in the mouse wheel would randomly either go up or down. An issue I had which might be my own fault for not realising but, the dimensions of the mouse are fine wide and length wise, but it's very shallow. This, to me, makes it annoying to palm grip it. On the battery life I've used a few wireless mice before, I dunno if I got a dud, but it doesn't seem to even last 3 hours, it has come up far too often as an issue. I can't justify the price at all, maybe €50 definitely not €100, which sucks because I'm a a fan of steel series in general.

This weighs nothing!It takes a lil getting used to.But the programmable buttons and software are solid.One of the thumb buttons*can flick down or up.I set my "down thumb" button to grenade in prep for Battlefield 6.This then leaves the main "sniper" thumb button to drop the DPI for precision shots or maybe as a PTT (push to talk) for ArmA/Teamspeak.Plus you have the standard backwards and forwards buttons.Most gaming mice are quite heavy, many having extra weights you can add.Not this thing.... This only weighs about 65g or so making this mouse very flickable.An interesting feature of this mouse is the cable can detach from the mouse itself.Meaning you no longer have to fish around the back of your pc case for the cable if you wanted to use this with a work laptop with a separate cablel or something.
