It's unique, so it has that going for it
I bought it looking for a primary multi-purpose mouse and while it does some things really well, it's only just okay tbh. I LOVE the shape, which is why I got it to replace the Razer Naga X I was using prior for FFXIV and creative work, and the side scroll wheel is a nice addition, but beyond that there are just things that this mouse does okay whereas other mice do them exceptionally well. The button layout took a LOT of time to get used to. If you have larger hands then this may be a good choice but the distance I have to travel to hit each of the 12 side buttons took more time to get used to than I'd like. On top of that, coming from the Naga X and it's optical side buttons, the side buttons on the Aerox 9 felt both mushy and infinitely less satisfying. They're fine if you don't care about tactile feedback, but to me it did feel like a soft downgrade in overall quality. Add that to the out-of-date sensor (which works fine but pales in comparison to competition offering more up-to-date hardware for a lower asking price) and the asking price for this mouse just starts to make less sense (This thing is $150 MSRP btw, but it goes on sale pretty often). The scroll wheel on the Aerox 9 is recessed, which you wouldn't think would make a difference, but it makes using the side scroll function more of a chore than anything else. It also has really undefined steps to the scroll, so if you like zooming through pages or spreadsheets really quickly then sure, but it makes precise scrolling a bit unsatisfying. Now admittedly, it IS the lightest MMO mouse on the market. Kind of a technicality since MMO mice are really niche, which I guess explains the MSRP. Thankfully I managed to snag it on sale for about $110, so it wasn't a huge hit but it is enough to make you second-guess if you're not someone who buys mice that often. Its 89g weight does make it much easier to use for longer periods of time without fatiguing your arm, but if light is all you're looking for then there's plenty of sub-70g mice on the market for much less. Again, this is an MMO mouse, and you won't find a 12-button panel mouse like this one that's lighter, wireless, and has side scroll. For what it offers, it's a solid mouse, and you won't find another one quite like it. However, if you can narrow down your use-case, then there are much better options, especially a year out from this mouse's original release. I still use it but I've since switched my daily to a Pulsar X2 since I don't play anything that requires a full 12-button side panel as much anymore.

Aerox 9 wireless. A mouse that...ROX!
I've only used this mouse for a day so consider that. The left and right mouse clicks are, imo, perfect. Clicky and not overly sensitive that you accidentally click when you didn't mean to because your fingers are resting on the clickers. They are also not too difficult to click which can cause accidental mouse movement when trying to click. So I'm happy with the clicking :) The side buttons are easy enough for me to click. They have a good tactile feel to them when clicked. They don't wiggle like some other MMO mice that have wiggly side buttons. They are easy enough to click but not too easy that you accidentally press a side button when moving the mouse. I can actually pickup the mouse with my thumb on the grid of buttons and not press one. So A+ there. My only gripe about the side buttons is the entire array of buttons is too far forward imo. I have large hands and even when using a palm grip my thumb does not reach the very front buttons. The side buttons do not illuminate. The scroll wheel does have a tilt function for left and right. Middle mouse button is super easy to click. The mouse glides super smooth right out of the box. This mouse is incredibly light for being a wireless mouse that is rate for 200 hours of battery life. The Logitech G604 is heavier than this. Imo the weight is perfect. A+ for weight and feel. Speaking of battery life. There is no battery level indicator for the system tray. You have to open the GG software to view the battery level BUT the battery level is right there on the main page where it lists your Steelseries devices. I typically use a Corsair Scimitar for gaming which is a wired MMO mouse. The input lag on th Aerox 9 is nonexistent. There is literally no discernable lag. At all. Using the G604 I can feel a very tiny bit of lag but this mouse is incredibly responsive. I played a few rounds of counterstrike and couldn't tell the difference in responsiveness versus the Scimitar mouse. A++ for responsiveness and accuracy. This thing charges super quick. It came with 65% charge out of the box. I used it for about 2 hours of counterstrike and it went down to 60%. I got busy with other things and plugged it in for about 1 hour and it was fully charged. That's impressive. The build quality is top notch. With some mice I can pick it up and shake it and the buttons rattle. Nothing rattles with this mouse. The side buttons don't wiggle and don't feel cheap. Clicking is perfect sensitivity. A+ build quality. I have 2 gripes. 1. is the software does not allow you to assign the "back" command to a button. It just doesn't exist, which is weird because the back command has existed on mice ever since thumb buttons were on mice. 2. The CPI or DPI switching button nor the DPI levels let you can create or allow for assigning a specific lighting scheme so you can easily tell which CPI setting you're on. It just switches colors at random as you press the CPI button. It's a very small gripe for me since I only have 2 levels programmed with one at 1800 and the other at 2600. Higher sensitivity makes flying in Battlefield easier for me. These 2 grips cause me to give 4 out of 5 stars. If they can make these changes then it is easily THE best MMO NAY! THE best wireless gaming mouse on the market All in all, so far this is the wireless MMO mouse I've been waiting for. - Wireless - 12 buttons on side - Good battery life and charges fast - Super dooper responsive and accurate - Good build quality.
