SteelSeries Aerox 9 Wireless

The SteelSeries Aerox 9 Wireless is an excellent MMO gaming mouse. It has a full 12-button side panel, and you can reprogram all buttons using the customization software, which is compatible with Windows and macOS. The build quality feels excellent, and it has a comfortable, right-handed shape. Unfortunately, it isn't well-suited for small hands using any grip type.

The SteelSeries Aerox 9 Wireless is perhaps the best wireless MMO mouse out there. It’s especially comfortable to hold and functional to use, offering solid feeling buttons alongside powerful wireless connectivity, and excellent battery life. Compared to rivals, it’s only a little bit more expensive too, which makes it all the more worthwhile.
