Review: Great Mouse (FREE PRO TIP INSIDE) - I am an avid player of First Person Shooter games (FPS) and as such I demand a low weight, high precision input device. The Aerox 5 fits the bill for me. I am coming from a pedigree of Basic Packard Bell (1990s) -> Microsoft Explorer -> Razer Deathadder -> G502 -> Glorious Model D Wireless -> Aerox 5. While I really enjoyed the Glorious Model D, I immediately missed the extra buttons from my G502. I adjusted to the reduction in mouse buttons by grabbing a foot pedal for PTT voice comms (similar pedal: https://amzn.to/3VwdEuD) which turned out to be an amazing upgrade. The Model D only lasted a few months before the scroll wheel malfunctioned. The wheel would randomly scroll causing me to weapon switch during intense left-click firefights. The right click mouse button also started sticking. So, looking for an upgrade, I stumbled upon the Aerox 5. The things that immediately drew me to the Aerox 5 were the 9 programmable buttons. I love that the mouse is an ultra light, weighing only slightly more than the Model D I was upgrading from. The mouse is pretty much perfect in every way, however there are a couple of annoying things I will point out here: 1. The dongle is USB-C. I do not have a USB-C port in my PC, so I was running the dongle with a long USB-A -> USB-C connection... until I stumbled upon the direct plug adapter (2nd pic). You can get one of those here https://amzn.to/3GmkoH6. I wish they had included one with the mouse. 2. The mouse profiles in the SteelSeries GG software don't reliably automatically switch. I have different profiles set up for each of my games with different button bindings and while the profile normally switches just fine, it's not 100% reliable. Easy to fix. I would recommend just having the 1 default profile and setting the extra mouse buttons to the NUMPAD keys and then change your key bindings in game accordingly. That way you don't have to mess with profile switching. That's how I'll be setting it up once I reformat and lose these profiles. 3. There is no DPI indicator light on the mouse that I can tell. 4. The battery life is not the greatest but more than adequate. It'll last 2 or 3 days before needing a charge. I normally just connect it back up when I'm done playing and never really notice it. All in all, a great mouse and I highly recommend it. If you found this review helpful, please consider using my link to purchase yours. https://amzn.to/3WQZg0U
Review: Smooth, sturdy, agile - This mouse is so amazing I can not express my feelings enough how good it is. At first I thought it is on the large size (which is a bit) but I am also sort of big guy, so fits my hand perfectly. It is ultra light weight. with the mouse pad from SteelSeries also it is perfect match. The app is very straight forward to configure the mouse and speed scenarios, during the gaming and other usage you can easily change with one click, super easy. Now the downsides: Battery life is quiet short comparet to office type wireless mouses, heavy gaming like 10 hours a day lasted me 3 days, approx 30 hours :). Using it cable plugged actually didnt affect the steering too much, so most of the time using cable attached and for my friends I purchased 2 more non wireless version of this. Not sure if it is downside but since it is so lightweight, when you try to click side button which is up/down direction you can not hold the mouse stable, it moves, so lets say you are playing a shooter game, scope is open and want to use down button on the side, there is no way you will stay on target and press the down button at the same time. Over all, I am very happy with it, fits my hand perfectly, speed variations and smoothness is amazing, high quality with matching RGB with my SteelSeries keyboard, go for it...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is i have apex pro tkl can i use same dongle to connect or do i need them all to have own dongle?**
A: I'm pretty sure you have to use their own dongles

**Q: what about sensitivity in this mouse?**
A: I didn't have a problem with it but I switched to the corsair Sabre pro champion series mouse. Better in my opinion.

**Q: I have an aerox 3 wireless how does this compare to that is it worth the upgrade or is it a downgrade?**
A: Only difference is it has more buttons than the aerox 3 and less than the aerox 9.

**Q: Is the dpi button easier to reach than the rival 600 was?**
A: I’ve always forced my mouse to use only one dpi setting at 800. Depends on your hand I guess. For me I feel like my index finger has to struggle a little bit to have to push it which is why I never bothered.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Game Changer
*by R***N on November 30, 2025*

Steelseries is known for good quality, and it really shows with this mouse. If you don't wanna mess with the Steelseries GG software (I don't blame you), this mouse can be completely plug and play. The clicks are clicky and are about the average noise level. This mouse is definitely responsive, so you can't blame you throwing and bottom-fragging on this mouse lol. I think it has the perfect amount of side buttons, especially the up/down switch! I don't know if it's a bug or not, but the DPI settings that you set via the software won't save to the on-board memory. I often take my mouse to different PCs, and I have to download the GG software and set my settings (DPI and button macros) on each new PC I use it with. There's also an issue I'm experiencing where sometimes the mouse will disconnect from the dongle, and I have to literally slam the mouse on the desk for it to reconnect (yes, that's the only way). It only started happening after over a year of usage, though (outside the warranty), and thankfully, it hasn't happened in the middle of a match yet. I still love it so much that I bought a second one, so I still recommend it!
