SteelSeries were once the biggest brand in e-sports. Everyone used the Sensei, Kinzu and Ikari back in the days of CS 1.6. Nowadays, finding one of their mice being used by the best is hard to come by. Could the Aerox 5 actually start to get ahead by filling in a market that has been untouched? A multi-button, lightweight and wireless mouse!

I like every detail in picture of mouse, i even can see the surface of mouse. Keep it up!
very good review, video feels very professional, keep it up :D
Radical Heights... The best BR ever made. Gone but not forgotten
I have the Rival 5 that is the same but wired. I bought it for the black friday and I paid 45€ with a 25% discount if I remember well. I am very satisfied as I have a big hand and I can use all the function buttons in a really comf way :) I think 149€ is too much for the wireless version.
i picked this up as an upgrade to the aerox 3, i really like how the a5 side buttons protrude a lot more than the a3, mainly i just wanted more side buttons similar to the g502 but not an entire numpad. i went from g502 to r650 to a3 to a5, the a5 is a nice middleground between all of those mice.
the thumb button is something i have to reach for, the flicky switch isnt difficult to use but i mightve preffered just a button over it, that being said it works fine. and i got it for 90 bucks so imo worth.
Do the holes make the mouse weird to hold? I am wondering about buying it. It costs 80 bucks at black week now
@@SiPlSe the holes aren’t a problem at all. U don’t feel them or in palm anyway.
Hey, is it worth buying the Steelseries Apex Pro Tkl 23 Wireless and the aerox 5?
Love your videos!! Which wireless mouse should I get this coming Black Friday? I have 18.4x10.4 hands, use claw grip mostly, play VAL and OW2, with around a 37-65 cm/360 as my sens range?
Death adder V3 Pro
Bought the mouse on amazon for $75 (its a refurbished one + I got a 3 year warranty for an extra $10) as of writing this I've had it for 3 days and its nothing too special, I like it, it has enough buttons for my taste, and it feels alright (aim wise). Of course I still have to get used to it considering my old mouse was 105g (Death Adder Elite) and this one is 30g lighter, but other than that I would definitely do some research on some other mice before buying this one, unlike myself just ordering the first one I seen that was wireless lol.
Do you think the clicks on this or the model i are better?
Had this for a while. Never going to buy a mouse from steelseries again.. Everything is fine about the mouse except scroll wheel. Not sure if it is some design flaw or the components they use for scrolling wheel, but it started bugging right out of the box. When you scroll down - it goes up every 2nd/3rd step, when you scroll up - it goes down. Overall, the scrolling becomes really annoying. I had rival 310 before it and it had the exact same issue. Tried every single step I found on the internet and steelseries page, nothing helped. Support told that the last step would be to try to clean it. The issue with that is that you need to take it apart and to do it, you need to take off the pads of mouse which basically messes them up and then you need to buy new ones which are only sold steelseries store.. If you are looking for mouse - choose razer or logitech (just look for the ones with optical switches).
In my area it costs 80 bucks instad of 140 right now in 2023. Do you think it worth it? I have pretty big hands and really just want a good mouse. I have the Steelseries rival 300 right now and Im looking for a upgrade. The wired version costs only about 40 bucks now, is it really worh having to pay more for a wireless? Idk i havent had any.
How does it compare to the Razer Basilisk V3 (if we don't conut the price)?
Skip your videos, NEVER!
Does it work with the ps5?
I feel like I'm going to hit the side button before hitting the flappy button upwards. 74g for a holey mouse for THAT PRICE is kinda eh. Review the $70 Dareu A900 mouse please.
Buttons add a lot of weight lol, closest thing is the Model I but that’s like 69 g iirc
I think rival 500 had the best side button layout. How I wish they make a mouse with rival 500 side buttons + aerox shell + no led lights for less weight. That in my opinion is the best mouse.
so I have just baught the Aerox 5 after owning the Razer Deathadder V3 Pro and I have to tell you in my opinion it is just the better mouse. It just feels more solid, has a dpi button on the top, which I actually need and the thumbbutton in my opinion is perfect. I never click it by accident. Who cares if the sensor is "outdated" I mean nobody really NOBODY uses 30.000 dpi with the razer. I play 400dpi just like most ESL Pros. So the most important thing should be, is it comfy for you and does it fulfill all your needs. And for this mouse I have to say YES ! I just love it. And 74 grams feels super light and might be my sweetspot. The 63g of the Razer just felt like nothing at all. So having just a little bit of weight in the hand feels really nice
What do you think of the aerox 3 and Logitech g pro super light do you have any mouse you recommend in the steel series line up
aerox 5 and the prime wireless are probably the only good steelseries mice at the moment for me
@@DiamondLobbyReviews what about the Wired Prime lineup? Apparently the sensors are better and if you get the prime+ you get separate lift off distance sensor
can you limit the DPI options on the DPI button to just 2 settings for example? would be crazy clutch to be able to lower my DPI with one click for sniping!
yeah you can i have one. just look up a software guide for the mouse
Just but a g502 light speed wireless connection doesn't even work on mine lmao
Pls review cooler master MM730.... It's amazing... I am sure it will atleast be up to your high standards...
I already reviewed the 731 on this channel...
I could see the holes helping me scratch my itchy hand honestly.
I got the arox 9 pro wireless and I know it's a MMO mouse but I still play fps all that and it's still my fav mouse so far (it's my second mouse. The first one I had was a Logitech g hero something)
Is it hard to click the number 12, 11 and 10?
It looks like the G703 but with more buttons
I have the wired one and it is fire it is really good for me because i got big hands
i would say that the Kone pro air is a much more universal mouse
im curious for one thing, how can i clean the inside of it, since it's got an honeycomb kind of cage and all kinds of shit can get into it, how can i clean it without breaking anything, like hairs, dead skins and any kind of filth.
There's normally screws underneath the mouse feet. So you'll need to peel them off first. The top shell should pull a part. I'd recommend searching for a tear down video for this mouse if one exists. There might be a few cables that might need to be detached first. You could also just get a can of compressed air and just blast it through one of the holes.
Just purchased the Aerox 9 for $69.99(60% off is insane). Fingers crossed it’s as good as the 5!
So how did it fair?
Seems like a pretty decent mouse and I personally like that the extra buttons aren't too intrusive but it's about time Steelseries update their mice with 3390 sensors and for gods sake why can't they release new versions of their old beloved shapes?! It's like Steelseries hates their own customers.
Doesn't matter if they update or not. Your not gonna notice any difference whatsoever and that's a fact ☺️😂. They are 1:1 sensors just like everything else and the dpi deviation isn't absolutely retarded like most razers bs
@@cwbgaming8913 Their latest mice perform perfectly fine with the latest firmware but some of their older mice like the Sensei are definitely a bit outdated. It also took them quite a while to update the firmware that improved the click latency on the Prime. It's the only mouse that I've noticed the click latency being high on compared to other mice but the buttons are really stiff as well.
not at all, they really care about he customers cs they alawys get recognition for their products, maybe they dont care about you
Tbh these are very similar to old Steelseries mice when it comes to shape, the main difference being all these holes. I have Aerox 3 and Rival 3 side by side rn and they're literally the same when it comes to shape. Not sure how these other Aerox models compare.
@@dominiorrr6510 Yeah the Aerox 3 is the same shape as the Rival 3 but some of their beloved shapes like the Sensei and Rival 310 haven't been updated for a long time.
I was considering buying 8 of this mouse for my family of four, but upon hearing it has not received the scroll-wheel-feels-real-seal-of-approval I will be taking my business elsewhere.
0:19 - what a game ?)
mine died after 9 mounths and they would not send me a replacement or give me a refund
Whats the difference with the wired version ?
its wired
@@darkvision412 Any difference in sensors or switches or anyhing ?
I bought this mouse a month ago brand new. And it died aka. stoped working connects to the cable or wireless and it doesn't work or it keeps reconnecting continously. Sent it to the service place and they told me the electronics on these are prone to die. So I do not reccomend this mouse at all. I loved it but as for it working a big no from me.
x2 pulsar o g pro super light
damn this mouse had me at “slightly ergonomic” and lost me at “the right click overhangs”. Does nobody care about people that have two fingers on the right side of their mouse? Lmao and that software, im sticking with my Haste
What I’m getting rn
0:19 what is bro doing 💀a little to immersed
Brotato is an intense video game.
@@DiamondLobbyReviews I respect it
Huge haste vibes from this one
I have this, and I'm not impressed. Unsure what does it qualify it to be such a special mouse, it's not even close to Logitech!
5:53 why does the software look like Origin launcher💀
Omg bro you can link your steam account to the mouse software brug 😭😭
3335 for this price is an absolute no go IMO
You can literally get this sensor in $30-$40 yikes
Minecraft bedwars players: *naaah*
Have u tried it for mc?
not a good mouse
Why?
Dont buy this shitty Mouse!!! The upper Sidebutton will break after a while. Happened to me with the wired and also with the wireless version.
Id argue 74 grams isnt "ultra super light" at this point
