Customer Ratings & Reviews

What can I say other than this is an absolutely amazing mouse. After using this mouse for about two weeks, I can say the following. 1. The charge life on this mouse is amazing. Right out of the box, I used it for the first two days of heavy use without needing to charge it. 2. The mouse is light weight, but it doesn’t feel cheap. Good materials. Very comfortable. 3. This is a louder mouse, something that I’m new to, but I’ve come to enjoy its tactile feel. 4. With the mouse being open, my hands are not sweating as much, and with the mouse being water resistant, I’m not worried about a drop of sweat getting in, or spilling liquids on it. 5. Steel series software makes it really easy to customize colors, and adjust your dpi accordingly. In addition, you have a button for changing your preset dips 6. The side buttons are easy to use, although being someone with smaller sized hands, I find it harder to press the silver button near my thumb (far stretch for me). 7. Scroll wheel is just fine, no button to make it loose.

Mouse works great and responds well only two real problems. The first is it took a long time to connect for the first time but this shouldnt be a problem if you use bluetooth or plug it in. The second problem is the silver thumb button, it is by default bound to f3, i thought it would just be its own button so its not very useful to me but could be for someone else. Overall great mouse but a little bit pricy.

Mouse itself feels great. Decent coating that helps great with gripping onto the mouse. The mouse is prefect for palm or claw grips but isn’t the best for fingertip. A lot of dust got into the holes. That holes were also very uncomfortable. After using it for a while I did have some connectivity issues and the battery wasn’t the longest lasting it still held up. But over all I think the mouse worked and did it’s job.

I recently purchased an amazing light-up mouse, and it has transformed my gaming setup! With vibrant RGB colors that dance and pulse in sync with my movements, it adds an electrifying ambiance to my workspace. The ergonomic design ensures comfort during long hours, while the customizable settings let me tailor the lights to match my mood or theme. It’s not just a mouse; it’s a statement piece that enhances my gaming experience and brings a splash of personality to my desk. I love how it draws attention and sparks conversations with friends!

I love the functionality and ergonomics of this mouse. My only complaint is that when it is wireless, I notice some input lag. With that issue, I generally use it plugged in.

Feels a little weird at first. But its a super light mouse. Similar profile to rival 650 but with a better thumb button.

This mouse is awesome!! It's super lightweight, has pretty good battery life and is awesome for gaming! Good for big hands also! Really happy with this buy!

Great product, use it every day almost lasts me 2 days without recharging + charges fast, perfect size easy to configure!

Pin point accuracy. Perfect fitment. Perfect weight and quickness.

I love first person shooter games. While I in no way belong in the competitive class of players, I do like to think I get along pretty well playing games like Hunt Showdown online and I enjoy Doom Eternal and many other shooters as well. This mouse possesses many qualities that make it excellent for FPS games. It is a palm style mouse, which I approve of as opposed to a claw style mouse for faster and more aggressive movements that help you get your sights on target faster. This is a right-hand oriented mouse and its contours on both the thumb grip region and the mouse buttons themselves feel excellent for maintaining grip during frenetic movements. At first, I thought the ventilated build of this mouth was a little gimmicky, but I am having noticeably less occurrences of needing to dry my palm from sweat during extended gaming sessions. Somehow, in spite of this open build, this mouse still manages to be IP54 rated for moisture resistance; awesome! The matte finish of this mouse, while not the most premium feeling, is better for grip on sweaty, high intensity gaming circumstances. The RGB of this mouse is really awesome out of the box and comes with some really great built-in features I haven’t seen to often on other wireless mice. One is that, out of the box, the RGB upon wake up of the mouse indicates how much battery life you have left. Red (flashing) is 0-5% battery, yellow is 6-10% battery, and green is 11-100% battery. It actually has a color assigned to each of the 5 built-in CPI profiles too! Purple for 400, blue for 800, green for 1200, yellow for 2400, and red for 3200. I actually very much prefer this over other options competitors have used like an annoying pop up on the screen. I prefer 1200 CPI for my FPS shooters, and it is nice to verify by pressing mouse button 4 (the one below the scroll wheel) which one I am on. For further RGB settings, it is all in the SteelSeries GG software for you. Of note, I also like that there are settings to turn the RGB off during mouse movement and it also has great settings for battery conversation if you have your computer on all the time like I do and don’t want to worry about having to constantly charge the mouse due to it waking up and staying awake for too long all the time. Something I really liked here is that a firmware update was ready to go when I first installed the software and the update was able to be connected over the 2.4Ghz dongle connection. Another one my high-end wireless mice insisted that you connect the mouse to the computer via the USB-C cable before it would update the firmware. This made things very effortless and easy for the update on the Aerox 5 wireless. It should be noted that this is utilizing a USB-C 2.4Ghz dongle. I was happily able to plug this directly into the USB-C port on my motherboard. If you don’t have a USB-C port as part of your PC build, an extender cable and adapter are included that will allow you to plug the cable into a traditional USB-A port, attach the adapter, and then plug the dongle into that. Altogether, I feel that this is a premium priced mouse, but most definitely offers premium features. The only knock I think I can give it at this point was the SteelSeries GG software for setting up and update the mouse was initially slow to install and update. Also, the mouse is sometimes slower to wake up then other wireless mice I have tested. Nothing too noticeable for the average user, just something I noticed given how many mice I have had now over the years. Thanks for reading this review and I hope it helps to encourage you to purchase this excellent, wireless mouse!

Great mouse and definitely lightweight! Definitely recommend!!

Best mouse I have ever used, 5 out of 5 stars would buy again!

Had to get a new mouse because the ole mouse has started to fail. This mouse is lightweight and track movement extremely well. Very happy

Love the mouse! The mouse does not have too many buttons but just enough. My hand does not seem to sweat as much during long gaming sessions due to the holes. No complaints.

dont buy this if you have pets, hair will get into all the holes. other then that it is a good mouse.

This is a great mouse! The connection to the computer was easy and the smoothness of it is amazing.

It solved the problem I had of mouse lagging or jumping 180 degrees in ESO. The slide is like butter, no drag at all. Also purchased a mouse pad to go with it. Hate to say it, but worth the price! And rechargeable, so no more batteries!

Loving it even over my ghost steelseries mouse. perfect wieght, argb, responsiveness.... and the battery life is solid

Very happy with this purchase. Having a wireless mouse really changed gaming for me. Had zero issues with this mouse and I have to say, I have zero regrets.

I bought the mouse in November of 2024. After 2 months the right mouse button part cracked. Due to the design the plastic parts are weak. Unfortunately SteelSeries has decided this was not covered under manufacturer warranty. So I spent $100 mouse for two months. Before it broke, it was a great fit and I had no issues.
