If you like numbers and competition comparisons, it’s the lightest gaming mouse I’ve ever used and reviewed here at Craving Tech. So, about answering that prayer…SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless weighs only 66 grams, which is kind of crazy. The mouse’s AquaBarrier tech is engineered to safeguard the seemingly exposed interior circuitry. This means you’ll get water resistance and protection from dust, dirt, oil, and more. The Aerox 3 Wireless actually has an IP54 rating which is the first for a gaming mouse to have one. Now you might be wondering, what if you spill your drink over the mouse? Wouldn’t all the liquid go inside and short-circuit everything? Nope. It looks kind of cool when the lighting is on. SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless has that unique, honeycomb shell design which doesn’t just give you breathable surface for your palm but you can also somewhat see the inner circuitry of the mouse. The unit I have here is the wireless version. Note that SteelSeries also has the Aerox 3 in wired version – you may want to check other reviewers for this one. And man, you’ll love the Aerox 3 Wireless. The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless is now here and it has answered all my (and possibly your) prayers for wanting a new SteelSeries, wireless flagship mouse. Well, guess what – SteelSeries still has another surprise. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t really like the idea of replacing AAA batteries every 50 hours or so – especially if I’ll only be using the mouse for both working and gaming (which means about 10 hours of usage a day minimum). The sensor is good and I have good times with it like the original Rival 3. Sure, they then came up with the SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless which is powered by 2x AAA batteries and somehow cuts the weight down to 96 grams with just a single battery inside. Rival 650 Wireless is awesome for sure but it weighs 121 grams and with my grip style, I’ve never been a fan of a somewhat heavier mouse.

SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless Review – I tweeted some time ago to SteelSeries asking for a new wireless, flagship gaming mouse that weighs below 100 grams.
