Nice lightweight mouse. The holes help keel the hands from sweating up a storm.

Great mouse with precise movement. Lightweight makes it feel good. Only negative is the front thumb button is hard to reach without placing your hand high on the mouse. The thumb bumper buttons (2 of them) do not require this hand placement. All in all better than my Logitech mouse I was previously using

The **SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless Gaming Mouse** is a dream come true for competitive gamers and everyday users alike. Right out of the box, the ultra-lightweight honeycomb design stands out—not just for its eye-catching style, but for how effortless it feels in hand during long sessions. Despite its airy build, it feels solid and well-constructed. What truly sets this mouse apart are its **impressive wireless features**. Whether you're gaming or working, the low-latency wireless connection is fast, reliable, and virtually indistinguishable from a wired setup. The dual connectivity (2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth) gives you the flexibility to switch between your gaming rig and other devices without missing a beat. With **9 programmable buttons**, it's a great choice for MMO players, streamers, or anyone who loves customizing their workflow or gaming layout. The SteelSeries Engine software makes macro programming and RGB customization simple and intuitive. The RGB lighting is stunning and customizable, adding a great visual flair—but here's the one minor tradeoff: when the RGB is fully on, **battery life takes a noticeable hit**. If you're running extended sessions unplugged, you might want to dial back the lighting or turn it off altogether. Fortunately, even without the lights, performance doesn't skip a beat. Overall, the **Aerox 5 Wireless** blends form, function, and freedom in a sleek package. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a premium gaming mouse with minimal weight and maximum wireless performance!

Easy to use comfortable and have a good and strong grip while playing games

Best gaming mouse you could ever own. Holds charge for a long time

The transition from a heavy mouse to an ultralightweight was jarring, but after a couple weeks using it, I cant imagine going back to something so heavy. Loving the additional buttons at my disposal on the side as well. Only gripe I have is the battery life on it. Compared to mt keyboard and headset which I only have to charge monthly and weekly respectively, this one I have to charge nearly daily / 3 days max, which has definitely felt strange. There also isnt a great indicator that the battery is low when youre in the middle of gaming. Other than that, great mouse.

I am a gamer and have banked many many hours into CoD, Ark, etc. But I have really struggle lately to play well. This mouse made all the difference. It's light, it clicks fast, has a great dpi range, and I'm not sure why I never tried it before. This brand is more expensive but I can see why. Planning to buy another for my spouse.

I was shocked by how actually lightweight this mouse was when I took it out of the box. I quickly compared it to my current wireless mouse. At nearly one third of the weight, the Aerox 5 absolutely lives up to its name. My biggest issue with its functionality is the smooth plastic of the housing. It's almost too smooth and I can't get a good grip on the mouse. My fingers slide around on the buttons smooth matte finish. Maybe this will get better as I wear down the coating, but in the meantime I feel like it's going to slip out of my hand during rapid gameplay. My other issue is with the software. The mouse operates in two wireless modes: bluetooth and 2.4ghz wireless which requires a USB-C dongle. My issue is that my only USB-C port on my computer is already being used by something, so I couldn't use it in this mode. To make it worse, the button configuration option AND firmware updates are locked into 2.4 ghz mode! This means I have no customization options whatsoever for the mouse buttons, which entirely defeats the purpose of having additional buttons. This is a huge disappointment for an otherwise stellar device.

Great quality and connectivity. Battery life is ~okay~ and honestly, I recommend avoiding ultra lightweight mice altogether! I fell for it- since it sounds cool and like you'd be able to be more accurate with your inputs- but since its a bit light, you actually have the opposite effect. Resistance with weight on a mouse is ideal, in my opinion!

The mouse is super light! buttons feel great. The rocker switch is a little odd. would much rather prefer 2 separate traditional buttons. 0 noticeable difference between wired and wireless mode. Downsides? The rated battery life is with the mouse in efficiency mode. which is 125Hz polling rate and all lights off. nobody wants a gaming mouse with 125 polling rate so I don't know why that was what was used to determine battery life. With it set to 1000hz and lights enabled. expect less than half the rated battery life. maybe less.

Amazing light weight mouse with smooth swiping, great battery life and comfortable ergonomics!

Excellent mouse. lightweight, hold charge very good, RGB works great with software and is in-sync with mouse pad. Software easy to use. Fits my hand perfectly.

Absolutely a an upgrade from my 5 year old Logitech mouse. Super light and fits my hand great.

good battery life very responsive and light worth the price

Mice just keep getting better and better. Lighter and lighter. This mouse is amazing. No complaints.

Lightweight and easy to use. Very customizable rgb settings.

I've been using the Aerox 5 mouse for almost a month now, and I'm really impressed. The ultra-lightweight design feels great in my hand, and the honeycomb pattern not only looks cool but also keeps the mouse well-ventilated during long gaming or work sessions. The wireless functionality and RGB lighting are great additions as well. Overall, a fantastic gaming mouse with a sleek design and excellent performance.

Good middle ground mouse, slightly heavy on the click and chonky but light, overall solid mouse.

I needed a replacement for the wired one. I really like the button placements on this mouse and the grip has always been comfortable for FPS gaming. Actually, any type of gaming, but I have been on FPS games mostly. I was worried or hesitant over the wireless performance, but it is actually great if not better. Comes with a usb-c receiver that plugs into the computer or an adapter. Battery life is fine. I am not sure what to expect as for battery life. This is my favorite mouse, and it does what its designed to do. I also like the steel series driver.

Lightweight and good and clicky mouse holds a charge for 2-3 days of continuous use
