I had logitech g pro for two years and then I bought this mouse, I think it’s better for big hands, the logitech was so little. This mouse is really light and precise, and the ghost version is awesome. You can control rgb with steelseries program.

SteelSeries really did a great number on the Aerox 3 series. The ability to quickly change the DPI settings while in use makes this awesome for gaming. The open body makes for excellent airflow so my hand doesn’t get sweaty in the heat of the battle. The Game Gear software is easy to use and set up. Since I have all SteelSeries gaming products, the mouse was simply plug and play after a quick update. The GG software also allows for fine tuning and lighting customizations. Overall, this mouse quickly became my favourite. I would recommend SteelSeries gaming products icluding this Aerox 3 wireless mouse.

– Shape & Material This mouse is two times as expensive as the Razer Mamba Wireless. I loved the shape of the Mamba. It fits the hand so well. Now with the Aerox 3, the shape doesn’t fill the palm that well, but its matte texture is on point. I prefer a smooth or lightly textured finish on larger mouses and a matte finish on smaller mouses. The matte finish on this mouse makes up for the flat form.
– Battery Life The battery life on this device is much better than Mamba Wireless. I hated having to charge the Mamba Wireless every two or three days. That mouse always runs out of battery when I’m editing a video or working. So, this mouse is a lifesaver for me.
– Weight I could immediately tell how light the mouse is when I picked up the Amazon package. It almost felt like an empty plastic packaging in my hand. I knew it was going to be very light but I didn’t imagine it to be this light. Mindblowing!
– Switches The mechanical switches feel just as solid as the Rival 650, which is another mouse that I really like from SteelSeries.
I have nothing to complain about this mouse. It completely exceeded my expectations for it. This is my first superlight mouse. I haven’t tried the G Pro X Superlight yet so I can’t tell if the Logitech alternative is any better. For now I’m really happy with the purchase.

I bought this mouse because it ticked all of the boxes (Bluetooth/Wireless functionality, USB-C charging, Waterproof, with RGB for giggles). Before I grabbed it, I admit to being a bit worried, as I had read a ton of reviews complaining about the shape, how recessed the side buttons are, issues with the structural integrity, etc. I am so happy that I went with my gut feeling.
From my experience, I can only say that a lot of people who review this mouse have been holding it wrong, trying to keep their finger resting on top of the side buttons at all times. As a guy with average sized hands, this mouse is fantastic in a relaxed fingertip grip with the thumb resting just under the back side button. You can push the side buttons from this position with ease (only having to stretch the tiniest amount to reach the one in front).
I have had no complaints using it as my daily driver for just over a month, and I much prefer it over the Logitech G403 and Razer Deathadder I had been using. As for build quality: my one-year-old has thrown this thing off my table onto hardwood multiple times, loves banging it around like a hammer and slobbering over the primary buttons if given the chance: none of this has stopped it from working as well as it did the day I got it.
My only gripe is that, sometimes when waking the mouse from sleep, it will reconnect faster if I just turn it off and on again. Itโs a small thing that I donโt feel should dissuade anyone that likes a claw/fingertip grip from buying this mouse.

Light, comfortable, programmable, I’ll give you that. Now for the rest of it: Bluetooth connection significantly limits the functionality and speed, so you’ll likely never use a mouse this expensive in BT mode. Every 3rd or 4th time I go to use it, it flashes a white light and does nothing…it flashes…I wait…it flashes…I wait. Eventually it starts working like a mouse. Really? Is that normal behavior for a mouse this costly in 2022? Apparently, YES, as per the tech support I e-mailed…which FYI, takes about a month to respond to you on average. I wrote them 2 correspondences over 2 months. It also does not tell you when the battery is running low until it is too low to use. So then you have to connect it to a USB cord. So why did I get a wireless mouse again? I have a work mouse that uses a AA battery and costs about 12 clams, it runs circles around the Aerox. Sometimes, simple is better.

You asked for my opinion –
Warning fairly long and detailed ๏ The first th8ing to know about the Aerox 3 Wireless is that there is an original and an 2022 update.. That update fixes complaints about the original Aerox 3 Wireless. You can tell them apart by looking at the bottom. The original mouse has four small circular PTFE feet, the updates mouse has two wide PTFE feet. Those feet are very smooth, making the mouse really glide over my desk. The Aerox 3 Wireless It is available in two colours: Snow (White), Onyx (Black) and this Limited Edition Ghost. The Ghost Edition is the Snow Edition but with more transparent sides, to really shows of the RGB lighting. The default light level is ridiculously bright, but easy to adjust with the SteelSeries software. I set the brightness level to about 40% percent. The RGB lighting is highly configurable and can be turned off โ but if you are going to do so, the Snow Edition is cheaper. A interesting thing about the SteelSeries software is that it noted that some Windows mouse acceleration enhancements were turned on, recommended turning those of for this mouse, and even provided a โFix this nowโ button to do so. I did so, and did experience any problem. Thereโs more, but ther two biggest things that make a gaming mouse, other than the RGB light show, are low weight and high precision. This mouse is just 66 grams and its precision, which is advertised at 18.000 CPI, which isnโ;t the highest available, but more than you really need. Immediately after connecting the mouse, I pressed the CPI button to get a lower resolution and faster moving mouse. I am happy with the way the mouse clicks and scrolls. Manufactures claim extreme durability for click switches nowadays, so it should take month or years before I can say something useful about it other than that they seem work just fine. The mouse clicks are audible, but silent compared to the noise of the key clicks on my Apex Pro keyboard, The most important things about any moue are its shape and size. This mouse has a regular shape. It is only slightly different from the mouse I was using, and I adapted within a few minutes. To me, the lower weight was the bigger difference, and a difference I like. Switching back and forth, I quickly found the old mouse to be heave in comparison. While quite a few mice still use the annoying mini-USB port for charging (Logitech is particularly late to adopt the much more convenient USB-C), the Aerox 3 features an USB-C port, as a modern mouse should. The included USB cable is a reasonably nice quality braided cable, but not a pure USB-C cable. It has an USB-A connector for the computer end and an USB-C connector for the mouse end. You can connec the cable and charge the mouse while using it. The manual does not tell you how long to charge, I charged it for about half an hour. The included USB dongle is a bit larger than most mouse dongle, so it will stick out a bit more, which makes it less suitable for laptops. It lacks a logo or model name on top, but has plenty of text on the side to not confuse it with other dongles. Not that you need that, its size literally makes it stick out. There is a real design shortcomings that may turn you off this model; the Aerox 3 Wireless does not have space to store its USB dongle. What I happen to like, but may be turn-off for some is that this mouse dongle isnโt the typical USB-A dongle, but an USB-C dongle. As I type this, that dongle is connected to an USB-A port through a USB-C/USB-A adapter from Graugear (not too expensive, and sturdy metal instead of plastic), but you can connect to an USB-A port without any additional expense; the box includes an female USB-c to female USB-c adapter that allows you to connect the dongle to the included USB cable. The Aerox 3 Wireless is a dual-mode mouse. A little button on the bottom letโs you choose between Bluetooth, RF wireless and Off .When I switched it to Bluetooth, my Windows 10 laptop recognized it just fine. I considered the Logitech Wireless Pro, but it lack Bluetooth and has a mini-USB connector. The Logitech Superlight Pro X2 has USB-C, but is even more overpriced. The G309 is more affordable, but feels unbalanced with a battery, and the expensive Logitech PowerPlay mat you need to use it without a battery uses proprietary technology that is incompatible with Qi. The Logitech MX Anywhere 3S seems ideal for casual n the road use, but smallish for intensive desktop usage. The Razer Cobra Pro may look better on paper โ and is surely priced like it โ but it is a Razer mouse, and one of the nasty things Razer does is to shape their mice to only accept their own non-standard USB cables. I also know, from trying to claim warranty for a defect Razer Viper Ultimate, that their product support is worse than a bad joke. The Corsair M75 Wireless is very comparable, but 89 grams instead of 66, and I like the looks of the Aerox 3 better. In conclusion, I am happy with this mouse. I donโt know how well their advertised โaqua barrierโ prevents it from getting wet, and it is too expensive to deliberate test it, but the shape is fine, the mouse clicks are fine, the scroll whel feels good, the smooth feet make it glide over my desk and the low weight makes it a joy to use. I like a bit of RGB, and the transparent side allow me to set a lower brightness than the Snow Edition, to save juice and make the battery last longer.
