Product Overview

SteelSeries Aerox 3 is a mid-range wired gaming mouse that shares its hollowed outer case design as well as three-zone RGB lighting with the Aerox 3 Wireless unveiled at the same time.
However, the wired Aerox 3 uses a different, TrueMove Core sensor with reduced resolution range and lower maximum resolution. Maximum acceleration is also reduced.
On the pro side, its lightweight frame is further lightened to just 57g. This is aided by the mouse's unique outer case that is hollowed out as well as a miniaturized electronics components.
Like it is with the Aerox 3 Wireless, SteelSeries promises IP54-rated AquaBarrier Protection, ensuring water and dust resistance in a segment-first feat.

Reviewer score 37% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from rtings have found:
The SteelSeries Aerox 3 is great for FPS games. It's lightweight, and it has an ambidextrous shape that's reasonably comfortable to use. The build quality is good overall, but the body flexes and creaks when squeezed. There's a decent number of buttons, but it might not be enough for some MMO players.
Pros
  • Feels well-built overall
  • Low click latency
  • Comfortable to use for extended periods
  • High polling rate
  • Fully compatible with both Windows and macOS
  • Good build quality
  • Decent number of programmable inputs
Cons
  • High lift-off distance
  • Cable is a bit stiff
  • Scroll wheel lacks infinite scrolling and L/R tilt inputs

tomshardware[2]

Reviewer score 82% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from tomshardware have found:
The SteelSeries Aerox 3 weighs 2.08 ounces. The TrueMove Core optical sensor is rated for a sensitivity of 200 - 8,500 counts per inch. The cable is sufficiently long (6 feet) for connecting to a PC underneath or across a larger desk. Customizing the three RGB zones can get intricate, thanks to the numerous effects.
Pros
  • Easy-to-use clicker
  • Lightweight design
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Not for everyone
