Product Information

While I didn't test this exact assertion, I did confirm the claim that the mouse will indeed last 80 hours (on a full charge) while connecting via the included 2. As mentioned above, it's not easy to differentiate any of the buttons, because they all feel about the same.

These sizes should only be used as a guide, but we would love to hear your feedback on your own personal experience. When there's buttons out of a thumb's reach, on an MMO mouse, then it doesn't matter what other features this mouse can have, it's just not comfortable or easy to use.

The Aerox 9 is one of the small but growing cohort of wireless mice with USB-C rather than USB Type-A wireless dongles, which depending on your PC's port configuration may be a blessing or a pain in the butt. The display of third-party trademarks and trade names on this site does not necessarily indicate any affiliation or the endorsement of PCMag. The cable feels high-quality, but it's much closer in flexibility to a braided cable rather than a paracord-like. This design also offers functional advantages: it increases air permeability, thus ensuring pleasant cooling of the palm on hot summer days and preventing sweating.

Bluetooth has a default polling rate of 125 Hz / 8ms and does not require a dongle on any Bluetooth 5. What sets the Aerox 9 Wireless apart from other honeycomb mice, however, is not its overall design, but rather its button layout. Compared to the Nagas released 2014 onward, and the G600, navigating the number pad buttons felt slower because there were times where I was second-guessing which button I was pressing. Logitech's decision to keep it around for a decade shows the staying power its design has with consumers.

This means it should be more than accurate enough for any of this mouse's intended MMO or MOBA applications.

Exceptional, sleek comfort with no wrist or arm fatigue meets a library of powerful features to grant you an edge. This is all good news if you play at an insanely high level with the reaction times of a house fly, but what does that mean for the mere mortal? While other types of mice get lighter and more sensitive or gained flashier lighting and multiple connection methods, most MMO/MOBA mice have remained kind of…stuck. SteelSeries claim that the groundbreaking sensor offers unrivalled precision due to the 1-to-1 tracking, ability to handle up to 400 IPS and 40Gs of acceleration, all impressive numbers, that’s for sure. I tested the SteelSeries Aerox 9 over the course of one week, alongside testing of the slightly cheaper Aerox 5.The groundbreaking sensor, co-developed with PixArt, features 18,000 CPI, 400 IPS, 40G acceleration and tilt tracking, making the mouse an extension of your hand to dominate in game.

To be clear, I've had this mouse for 4 days and have been playing games such as Guild Wars 2, Slay the Spire, X-Com 2, Control, FFXIV, and Divinity Original Sin 2.Ultra-Lightweight Design - one of the lightest MMO/MOBA mice at 89g, perfect for long gaming sessions in games like Final Fantasy XIV, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, Elder Scrolls Online, League of Legends, DotA 2, and many more. We recommend going with a mouse with a decent DPI rate complete with a control switch feature, which allows you to change between preset DPI rates, giving you the best of both worlds! This means you'll be subject to the inherent latency Bluetooth connectivity adds, when compared to more standard 2. While the extra length of the design meant more intense sessions felt a little more cumbersome, I wasn't undershooting all that much once the feel was ingrained into muscle memory - I just had to work a little harder to line up particularly finnicky targets.
