SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless

The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless is great for FPS games. It's light and wireless so that you can move freely, and gaming feels smooth and responsive thanks to its low click latency and high polling rate. Unfortunately, you can only adjust the sensitivity in increments of 100 CPI, which might disappoint serious gamers who want to fine-tune the performance settings. The build quality is decent, but there's some creaking and flexing when pressing hard on the plastic body.

The SteelSeries Aerox 3 marries the unconventional honeycomb gaming mouse design with SteelSeries engineering, but the end result isn’t perfect.

The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless is one of the best wireless gaming mice you can find. Its heavily perforated design aids in both keeping your hands cool while also providing a firm grip. Its looks won’t be for everyone, but it certainly takes the year’s lightweight design trend, maximizes its worth, and spits out a wireless mouse that’s cheap for what it offers and stellar at what matters most.
