Playing FPS titles with the Aerox 3’s TrueMove Core sensor was a breeze. But for the majority, the Aerox 3’s sensor specs will be sufficient.Ī superlight mouse like the Aerox 3 is especially fitting for FPS games, where being able to fling your mouse around easily is beneficial. This should be ample for most gamers, but other gaming mice, including honeycomb rivals like the HyperX Pulsefire Haste and HK Gaming Mira-M, offer wider sensor specs, especially if you’re willing to pay more. The sensor is rated for a sensitivity of 200 - 8,500 counts per inch (CPI), can handle a max velocity of 350 inches per second (IPS) and up to 35g of acceleration. SteelSeries gave the Aerox 3 the TrueMove Core optical sensor it debuted in the SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless mouse in September. Gaming Performance of SteelSeries Aerox 3 That’s rarer among wired mice and allows you to swap in another cable should the original get damaged or you just want to personalize things a bit. More standout, however, is that this cable is detachable.

It’s made of what SteelSeries calls Super Mesh, which is more flexible than the rubber cable you’ll find with cheaper wired gaming mice.

The cable is sufficiently long (6 feet) for connecting to a PC underneath or across a larger desk. SteelSeries recommends this mouse for fingertip and claw grippers (sorry palm grippers), and with both grips I found the programmable buttons (left and right click, two side buttons, CPI switch south of the scroll wheel and scroll wheel up and down) easily accessible.Īs mentioned, SteelSeries has a version of this clicker competing in the best wireless mouse category, but the standard Aerox 3 we’re reviewing is wired. The Model O-is 4.72 inches long, 2.28 inches wide in the front, 63mm wide in the back, 2.48 inches tall by the left and right-clicks buttons and 1.42 tall at the hump. The Aerox 3 is 4.75 inches long, 2.28 inches wide in the front and 2.64 inches wide in the back, 0.85 inches tall by the click buttons with a 1.50-inch hump in the back. SteelSeries’ Aerox 3 and Glorious’ Model O- have similar dimensions, although the Model O- has a taller hump. On the other hand, my dainty wrist appreciated what little work it had to do to get this mouse moving. Thanks here is also due to the mouse’s optical sensor (more on that later).Ĭontrastingly, I’m admittedly a heavy-handed user, which made adjusting to this mouse’s minimal weight more difficult.

The light weight combined with mice’s four small, but effective, PTFE feet helping eliminate friction made it easy to glide gracefully across any surface, whether I put it on my best RGB mouse pad, a desk, fabric or skin. The honeycomb chassis saves the mouse 0.63 ounces in weight, according to SteelSeries, while the circuit board is said to be 50% thinner than standard. Our review focus is neglibly lighter (2.01 ounces versus 2.04 ounces). The Aerox 3 is similar in design to the Glorious Model O-, which also has an ambidextrous build spotted with holes.

Of course, SteelSeries isn’t the only gaming vendor pushing hole-filled, lightweight mice.

For a true ambidextrous mouse, look for something like the Logitech G Pro Wireless (opens in new tab), which has swappable slide buttons. The Aerox 3’s shape is ambidextrous but the location of the side buttons favors right-handers.
