Very lightweight. Works how it's supposed to. I am not super tech savvy, but my brother who is recommended it, and I have zero complaints. I am definitely a casual when it comes to gaming, so I cannot speak on how long it holds a charge.

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

In my opinion kind of expensive for a mouse, I guess it's really good for gaming, the battery life isn't as good as I had hoped. It is very light, it's a nice looking mouse, I have not found how to change button mapping quite yet use it the way I would like.

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 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.

Absolutely terrible mouse and one of the worst tech purchase I have ever made. 1. Sensor stopped working after 1 year. Most mice die eventually due to mechanical issues like the switch springs failing but this mouse failed because of the electrical components. Mouse would connect and click but would not register movement. 2. Steelseries GG software is awful and is basically malware. It will constantly wake your computer up if you put it to sleep and eats up tons of resources in the background despite doing nothing. It can't even properly update firmware and occasionally wipes your profiles 3. Open architecture design is as terrible in practice as it is in concept. Yeah let's leave massive holes in the mouse so dust, sweat, and grime can drip down from your gamer hands onto sensitive electronic components. No real way to clean it either once debris gets stuck inside. 4. Wireless dongle takes up too much room. If you don't have a USB-C port on your PC then you will have to use a USB-A to USB-C dongle for the actual dongle. The wireless dongle also is way too bulky in general. Here I am using my 10 year old Logitech G700s mouse to write this review because somehow it works better than my 1 year old Steelseries Aerox 5, though that's a low bar considering the Aerox 5 doesn't even work at all. It can't even accomplish basic functionality as a mouse. This is the first and last Steelseries product I am ever buying.

Looks nice, build quality is nice, and battery life is decent. That's about it for the positives. Side buttons are kinda small, but you could get used to it. However, the third button that goes across the top of the two side buttons can cause a lot of unintentional clicks. The software is a mess. RGB isn't important, but certain behaviors can not be controlled anymore. RGB turning off when the mouse moves and then turning back on when the mouse stops moving. The RGB didn't behave like that on the first day, then second day, it decides on that behavior. The option to control that is apparently only available in the outdated versions of the software. Lastly, input lag that randomly happens. Press and hold, and it'll continue to hold for another 0.5-1 second when you let go. You could restart the computer and hope it goes away, but it might come back the next time the computer boots. Exchanged for a Corsair mouse with optical switches because Omron switches are still bad.

I have this mouse and the Aerox 9 this beats it eveytime super light weight! And has just the right amount of buttons without making it overwhelming

Great lightweight mouse with several useful buttons. I mainly use it for Destiny 2 and I use one of for mouse buttons for my melee and the other my inventory. Also swapping my kinetic and energy weapons

Cool Mouse. I like how it is longer than average with a shallow height. The buttons on the left side, are always helpful. I like how breathable it looks and feels.

Silky smooth movement and fast polling rate with a size that actually fits my longer fingers. Major downside is that most features don't work in bluetooth mode. Button mapping/macros do, but RGB and advanced features don't. I use this mostly for work and some gaming. The open back is a cool design and legitimately helps my hand from getting sweaty or greasy while using it all day.

Great lightweight mouse. Feels really good to use with minimal to no delay. Only wish RGB stayed on at all times not when just in use for visual purposes but I understand why, to save battery life.

Very light. Good looking. Gooooooooooooooooooooood.

Honestly one of the best mice I’ve ever used very lightweight and has maximum support for surgical level precision. The features included in the Steelers app are awesome too.

Fantastic mouse!! the RGB options are awsome. I’ve had tons of wireless mice, but all felt too small. I dont have big hands, but this mouse feels perfect when gaming. Excellent battery life and seems to recharge quickly!!

Super light and smooth amazing upgrade from my old mouse.

Love the feel of the mouse. Very loghtweight and durable. Now my entire setup is steelseries gear.

This mouse can connect to a pc via bluetooth, cord, or USB-C wireless adapter. If you don't have any USB-C ports available, the mouse comes with a 2 foot USB-A wire that will plug into the adapter (it's ridiculously long, lol). I ordered a converter from USB-A to C and have it jutting out of a port on my laptop. Not the safest, but much less frustrating than having to find a home for a coiled up wireless adapter. The battery life is what saves this mouse - I use it everyday and still only need to charge it once every 2 weeks.

Best mouse ever. I USED to be a huge Logitech fan until now.
