Bought 2! A bit too light but high marks overall!
I wanted to update my aging and discontinued mid level multi-side button Logitech mouse for my living room and bedroom PC’s, where I do all my gaming.. it didn’t work on just the bare recliner arm very well, so I needed to use a small wooden circle with an attached bean bag (for stability) sitting on the arm for smooth tracking.. I also wanted a mouse with a rechargeable battery and that could do wired, wifi, AND bluetooth as I have a second Mini PC in my living room and could use the mouse itself to switch between controlling either one… (and it works well for that actually, I have it connected via Bluetooth to the mini PC and Wifi and wired to the gaming PC and just flip the switch on the mouse to the appropriate position).I generally use a PS5 controller for more action oriented fps games (tho heartily agree that mouse and keyboard is the superior aiming control, I’m just a more casual single player game type). I’m usually in a recliner when gaming, so prefer to have a mouse with extra buttons so that i don’t have to rely on a keyboard in my lap unless absolutely necessary..tho not usually this many buttons as I at first thought this mouse was going to be unwieldy due to having SO many side buttons.. but I was pleasantly surprised upon trying the mouse and finding it fit my medium sized hands just right and all those side buttons (3 rows of 4) were actually easy to find and use with my thumb… no issues there at all thankfully.it’s a really light mouse, which really isn’t a detriment for me but I could see someone wanting one that perhaps feels a bit more substantial for more competitive play maybe.. and really, that’s my only thing I can critique it for really.. of the two I bought, one just stopped being recognized as a usb device by any PC.. I suspect it was a manufacturing issue, bad chip.. havent had any issue with the replacement or the second mouse at all..so, there’s a lot really good about this mouse.. I don’t usually leave reviews unless it’s really deserved as I’m admittedly lazy, lol. let’s go over the good…first, the software works great. Pairing and firmware updates can be a bit specific as they want you to plug the wifi dongle into the provided usb-c adapter via a usb-c cable rather than put the dongle directly into a usb-c port.. but it’s a small inconvenience and only for initial or repairing or rare firmware updates.. and I wished the program opened up directly to the programming screen rather than the marketing page.. but it’s super powerful software with tons of features, used for all their products.. you can have game profiles that automatically switch when you launch a game and as many as you like.. and any type of setting you can think of is there.. all buttons are programmable aside from the connection switch of course.. and tons of commands, windows shortcuts and combos, macros.. etc.. same for the LED lighting, which has three zones and tons of choices.. (tho I have it minimally set to a quick light up when a button is pressed to save battery life). but it works and has zero issues.. (unlike the awful Armoury Crate crap which is a slow memory hog that caused crashes on my beefy gaming pc)the mouse can be used via bluetooth, usb-c (recharged, wired), and wifi.. now with bluetooth, you can’t do any programming or profiles and it eats a bit more battery life than the low power wifi.. but not much. battery life is really great. It’s been maybe two weeks since my last charge for my living room mouseand i’ve got the minimal led and switching between bluetooth and wifi to control different PC’s.. i use it almost daily and it’s only at 55% at two weeks! it also charges fast..so yeah, I do lose some extra functionality like changing profiles and such if using bluetooth but I personally don’t need it, just basic regular functionality, for the second mini PC as that’s just for media like youtube or plex while I’m gaming on the living room tv.another great thing about it is the sensor.. I can use this on any surface.. I think it’s a proprietary one, not sure.. just know I now can just use my pants leg or recliner arm as my mouse pad where my last laser mouse still needed a separate surface for smooth tracking…so I highly recommend this mouse.. it’s well built.. it’s not at all huge but everything fits my medium sized hands great and the side buttons are not an issue at all and easy to find and use.. it’s got great battery life and I really like the software as well.. it’s got a use anywhere sensor and the worst thing I can possibly say about it is that it might be a little too lightweight for some is all. that’s it. I also bought an Apex pro tkl wireless that was on sale for the living room (as it also has the same bluetooth/wifi/wired/recharge functionality) and i love that too and there are features in the software where you can co-ordinate the LED lighting if you want.. or have a game control it.. I just use the lighting for more practical low light reasons over any flashy ones and to help preserve battery life but both have excellent marks on that..it’s a bit pricey but for what ya get, it’s fairly worth it and you can always wait for a sale as well.I’ve been using the Aerox 9 for[laying Baulder’s Gate 3 and never need to use the keyboard.. love it!cheers!

Designed by Salad Fingers
I have been trying for a decade to get away from Razer. I can’t stand them, but I can’t go back to not having an “MMO” mouse. The buttons are useful for all manner of games. I was really excited to try the Aerox 9, having been impressed with Steelseries’ Apex Pro keyboard. I’m sorry to say this thing is awful.The biggest problem here is that the mouse both expects you to have very light, small hands, and very large, freakishly long thumbs.The main attraction of an MMO mouse is the side buttons. I have fairly large hands, at about 8 1/2 inches from the base of my palm to the tip of my middle finger, and about a 9 inch wingspan. Unless you’re an NBA player, good luck reaching those keys. The side buttons are so far toward the front of the mouse, and add some ridiculous staggered angle, I cannot comfortably reach the 1, 2, 3, or 6 buttons. They’re so hard to reach, I have to shift my grip to get at them. Palm and claw don’t work. I can’t reach the buttons in palm. When I do claw, I invariably add more weight on my index finger. That’s when the second major problem shows up.The actuation force on the clicks is absurdly low. This trend in recent years to reduce actuation force / distance is really, really stupid. Speed switches on keyboards, with ~1.2mm actuation, as opposed to the standard 2mm, have shown to have ZERO improvements in actuation speed. It’s a gimmick that makes you bad at typing. It seems we’re doing this with mice now, too. If you so much as look at the mouse funny, it will click. Unless you have baby hands, you can’t rest your finger on the button at all. Having a neurological condition that causes me to shake, I have no choice. My large hands, not large enough to reach the side buttons, are also too large to comfortably use the mouse as a mouse. Lovely.I measured the actuation force of the click at the tip of the button at around 30g. I’m using a scale, so it’s not as accurate as a proper force gauge, but it got the job done. My Naga Pro actuated at 45g at the tip. The thing is, with the Naga, I don’t have to rest my finger on the end of the button. Not only is it 50% more required force, but I can rest closer to the axis, which means my 70-80g force of a resting finger is less likely to actuate the click. The actuation force is fine when I palm grip, but again, I cannot do this AND use the side buttons, because this thing was designed by Salad Fingers.For perspective, Cherry Brown keyboard switches are 55g. Blue are 60g. Red, being a pretty light switch, is 45g. Keyboard switches are also usually not required to bear the weight of a finger unless you’re actively pressing a key. The mouse has to. 30g is too low.Lastly, they replaced their old Engine software with this bloated GG thing. I didn’t use it long enough to form an opinion on it, but lighter companion applications are almost universally better.Buy a Naga Pro if you’re willing to spend this much. Buy a Logitech G600 if you want to spend 1/4 the money. Hell, I’d recommend a Corsair Scimitar over this thing, and the side buttons on that thing suck, too.Steelseries, you can fix this mouse by moving the buttons closer to the back, making them shorter in length for denser placement (see Naga), and stiffen up the click a bit. If you do that, you have a winner. Unfortunately, you designed the worst of both worlds.

This mouse is amazing! it has the standard num-like keypad on the side that we are used to see from every major brand. I won’t talk about the software and the features and all those features you can read more accurately about on numerous sources.I will focus on the feeling and the weight. This is light and by light, I mean really light. to the point I cant use any other mouse! My wrist pain is gone! and I spend even more hours in front of my computer.I need to mention also that the honeycomb design was the only concern I had. But you don’t even notice it and it definitely is a positive for feel and grip temperature!

Otro poco y llega al año, la rueda del ratón ahora en lugar de subir baja y viceversa, a ver que procede con assurant que son los del seguro ojalá sirva para esto el haberlo comprado.

I bought this to work with multiple devices (work and play). Found out the key mapping won’t work in Bluetooth mode so you always need to plug in the dongle. This dimishes the usefulness of this mouse which is a major minus. The mouse is one of the lightest MMO mouse I’ve used which is a plus.

Mouse Realmente bem leve. A posição dos botões laterais poderia ser um pouco melhor (eles não são alinhados verticalmente e são muito grandes horizontalmente) e o switch é meio estranho, mas no geral a construção é boa. Os skates são muito bons também. Nunca tive problemas com desconexões durante o jogo, nem no modo Bluetooth nem no 2.4GHz. O cabo que vem com ele também é grande e não enrosca ou gera resistência, então pode usá-lo sem problemas.Os principais pontos negativos são:A bateria dura beeeem menos que o prometido se você deixar os leds ligados, um dia todo no modo bluetooth vai te fazer precisar carregá-lo com certeza.O software é ruim. Configurar os botões laterais foi bem mais difÃcil do que deveria, sem falar da iluminação. E por algum motivo toda vez que ligo o computador preciso reconectar no modo 2.4GHz.No geral estou satisfeito com a compra.
