i got the wired version of the mouse and like it a lot. its similar to hyperx pulsefire but a little bigger size. i also recommend to add some grip tapes on the sides.
Good review! I've used this mouse for 10months now, and have a customized cpi (not dpi) that goes from 100-1800, so it can be changed via the steelseries app :P It was the first thing I changed. I use the third button for building, but also hated it in the start. Got used to it, and now can't live without xD
Ive been using the aerox 9 in ffxiv and honestly as a small hands user I was surprised to really like the shape. I even prefer it over the xlite v2 shape wise due to the lower left click height. I think if hey did what you mentioned and made a lighter weight version with just two side buttons for fps, Steelseries would have a serious competitor on their hands. Especially if they make a mini version.
Its sad being an fps player that enjoys light mice but also keybinds :( idk why everyone has this sentiment that fps players dont need binds. I bind voice chat, grenades, prone, map etc to my mouse. This is basically the only mouse on the market that is this light, with this many binds
@@HeyImBoschea yeah I'm all fingers and thumbs trying to left hand my keyboard - I map as many useful functions to my mouse as possible.. life long console gamer here, so I really struggle with "every finger being an action", opposed to 2 or 3 fingers (like a game pad) I can just about manage WASD and keeping crouch and sprint on shift and control - no way I can also deal with peeking, marking, maps, class specific commands, team chat and 3 different radios 😂
That button is for MMO players that don't want 12 buttons on the side. In WoW there's many abilities where you trigger on/off. There are countless uses I can think of for RPG/MMO. But I understand that it's odd though.
@@spxncer0910 right? I’ve swapped between mice so often looking for one I love, and my brother asked why I don’t just get the Superlight. Just can’t justify buying it for that much
@@bwb4449 yeah lol, you could also buy it from amazon, try it out, if you dont like it return it. if its perfect for you then you can consider keeping it for the £150 lol
This should have been the Aerox 7, then the Aerox 5 should have been this shape, but with only the normal 6 button layout (main clicks, scroll wheel, 2 side buttons, and DPI button).
"Nobody will place their thumb above the mouse" *looks at my right hand, where my thumb is currently resting on top of the mouse in a fingertip grip* "Uh-huh...nobody. That's my name now. Catchy. Makes me wanna listen to MCR."
@@HeyImBoschea Because media keys aren't a high priority? Is this is a serious question? So something like the interact button or push to talk are, in your opinion, as important as skipping the song you're listening to? Most headsets have media keys on them anyway. So you don't need to use your keyboard or mouse and the mouse has way more useful things you can bind to it.
I recently came to notice, that my Rival 600 mouse wheel got a few flukes here and there. Since the shape of the Aerox 5 looks similar to the Rival 600, I now considered moving to the Aerox 5 - But wireless. I am looking forward to monday, when the mouse arrives. I am quite certain, I will be happy with it though :)
are you still using the pulsar superglides??? those actually destroyed my zero ... after the coating disappered, the glass is so rough on the pad and it feels so muddy and uneven everywhere
Same exact thing happened to me. My artisan hasn’t felt the same since I used the superglides. I was flabbergasted to say the least and I’m never touching those skates again
Given that I managed to get an Aerox 5 Wireless for $84, I’m very happy with it. The Guitar Hero Strum Bar goes unused in most games I play but I use it for equipping medkits and molotovs in Left 4 Dead but that’s about all it’s used for
Good video. I liked the thumb button and lightness, but once again extra buttons aren't effective buttons. Wish there was a mouse with a side thumb placement and then a horizontal one just below it.
Picked this up for $60 on prime day. Currently have an M55 by corsair that I got in a bundle when I built my first rig, and haven't really used a different. I'm looking forward to this.
I read that having 1600 dpi halved would be better than 800 dpi flat. Do you know of any ways to get 1600dpi to feel like 800 dpi in windows without changing the pointer speed?
Yo boardzy im buying the razer viper mini. Does modding it make it as good as some premium mouse. Like paracording, mouse bungee and grip tape. Don’t want new skates since my mousepad is also pretty fast
Have been using a Steelseries Sensei wireless (the one with the recharging base) for about 5yrs but the side buttons gave up on me earlier this week - was a really great mouse and I can't find a like for like replacement *anywhere,* nothing on resale and no one seems to stock it anymore, it's really annoying Was tempted to go Razer just because they seem to have a bigger range but will probably just go for one of these, purely because it saves me having to install yet more software if I buy another brand lol..
i got the wired version of the mouse and like it a lot. its similar to hyperx pulsefire but a little bigger size. i also recommend to add some grip tapes on the sides.
It feels too big for fingertip grip which I normally use. The two upper side-buttons is almost unusable. The side/down-click on the top side button is somewhat decent, but I can't upclick without the entire mouse lifting. I have to use a firm palm grip or pinch the entire mouse to use the up-click. If I pinch it wrong I left-click at the same time. Could change the dpi-button with that one. I'd think I'd rather prefer the two upper side buttons to also be normal buttons. The steelseries engine lacks the ability to change buttons to side scroll/ horizontal scroll, which is a real bummer. The scroll wheel feels very nice and silent, maybe a bit mushy but it's preferable to many of the obnoxious clicky wheels I'm used to. Bought some razer universal grip tape and put all over it to make it easier to hold with my puny fingertip grip. Bluetooth in addition to 2,5GHz dongle and wired option was surprisingly nice to have. The 2,5GHz dongle itself seems much larger than necessary. I realise I have yet to find a mouse I find to be perfect. I'd think I would love to have a razer viper mini with 4-6 buttons on the left side. Four on the side and two extra on the left click. In addition to sidescroll. Like a Logitech G502 mini.
Used to work at a microcenter. I cringed every time I had to ask to put my sticker on something. Commission based jobs are super shitty and often people resort to upselling garbage for more pay. Dogshit company practice. Pay your employees a wage instead of commission for god's sake. Their stock of mice is also dookie. Only good mice there are logitech mice. Their keyboard selection is also ass. Avoid buying peripherals at microcenter.
Just had this delivered. Left click is loose and rattling right out of the box. Side note my new LG monitor arrived with this and has shocking light bleed. Why are there so many defects/deficiencies when ordering PC parts peripherals 🤦♂️
I use the top button for things that are not an emergency but would have required me to go far from WASD, like Map for Apex or Inventory for Destiny. I also like that that the grey button is not easily pressed on accident because of how forward it is.
New Glorious mouse coming out Boardzy, “Series Pro”. It’s said to be 50 grams, symm 2 shape, just wider than a viper mini. Higher than model o- and shorter length. Another group buy release for now.
I use the up | down button all the time in all sort of games and programs. If you cant ... well thats a problem with your finger - brain control. normal people can move their thumb up and down no problem all the time
Good review. Very informative.

@@unbearifiedbear1885 I'm still here 👍😁
Honestly this " NOT COMPLETE GARBAGE " describes all steelseries mice in general.
The wireless markup is crazy. $60 more for wireless on an $80 mouse? You could buy an entire other decent wireless mouse for that!
No mouse should be over $100 imo. Not when you have Razer making a viper mini for $30 and XM1R for $60ish
