SeekerSteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless
The SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless is a very good MMO gaming mouse, though it doesn't have quite as many side buttons as some dedicated MMO gaming mice. That said, you can reprogram all of the buttons it has using the customization software. The build quality feels very good, and the mouse has a comfortable right-handed shape, though it's best suited for larger hands. Performance-wise, it has very good click latency and a very broad CPI range. Unfortunately, you can't adjust the set CPI as precisely as you can on many other premium gaming mice.

A ludicrously lightweight gaming mouse with enough programmable side buttons to make it useful for all genres of gaming, the SteelSeries Aerox 5 is a safe bet. It’s comfortable and boasts little latency, but with a high price that vastly supersedes other, solid lightweight mice, it’s by no means a sure win.
