The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless uses the same TrueMove Air sensor found in the more expensive Prime Wireless. However, the Aerox 3 Wireless makes up for all of that with a top-mounted DPI button that uses its three-zone RGB as a stage indicator, quiet clicks, and a robust mouse wheel. There isn’t as deep a thumb grip as the SteelSeries Prime mice, no real place to put your pinky, and the equally low-profile side buttons require more of a squeeze to accentuate than I’d like. This is a slim mouse it sits low to the surface on which it’s placed and its backside isn’t that accepting of a heavy palm grip.

Where there might be an issue is if you have hands that are on the bigger side. And those with sweaty palms needn’t worry an IP54 rating means the Aerox 3 Wireless is water-resistant, too. The generously perforated design not only lightens the payload, which is good for both your aim and your wrists, but it will also help to keep your palm cool, with air able to circulate through the mouse and around your hand. It’s surprisingly robust and certainly up to the task of carrying you to victory. Although the SteelSeries Aerox 3 can creak a little under a tight grip or at the very top of its primary buttons, pushing down on it yields no durability concerns whatsoever. You’d think there would be some structural integrity issues with the shell of a mouse that’s 60-70% holes, but you’d be wrong. Side by side with the Corsair Dark Core Pro SE RGB, it looks like a sports car showing off next to a lorry. On lifting the SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless out of the box, you’re likely to first be surprised not by the Aerox Wireless 3’s weight, but its profile. It’s a dainty little thing. Heavily perforated for weight reduction and breathability.But is it the best gaming mouse you can currently buy? Design No, SteelSeries hasn’t lost its marbles, as this is actually a clever design that not only makes the mouse lighter, but also allows the RGB lighting underneath to shine through.Īdd dual wireless connectivity to the mix, and you’ve got an affordable wireless mouse that ticks all the right boxes.

The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless looks like a gaming mouse that’s been spliced with a cheese grater, with honeycomb-style holes covering the back of the peripheral.
