SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2022-05-20

Right after setting up the CPI and button settings to our preference, we fired up multiple titles such as Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy, SWTOR, GTA V and Space Punks; due to the low weight, the mouse is easy to work with, while the comfortable shape and high-end sensor do really make a good combination.

The small switch allows the user to use either 2.4GHz WiFi interface (where the dongle comes in) or connect to other devices via Bluetooth 5.0:

 

 

 

The curved back has the light diffuser in the lower area:
