SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless Review

Packaging, Weight, Cable, and Feet

Packaging


Aside from the mouse, one finds a charging cable (USB Type-A to Type-C), wireless extender, wireless dongle (USB Type-C), and quick start guide inside the sturdy box.

Weight


My scale shows around 67 g (+/- 1 g), which is almost perfectly in line with the weight cited by SteelSeries. This is even less than what the Glorious Model O Wireless weighs, although that one is a bit bigger as well. Weight balance is excellent, so the Aerox 3 Wireless feels very light in hand, too.

Cable


The Aerox 3 Wireless comes with a paracord-like, braided charging cable (USB Type-A to Type-C). There is no anchor at the mouse-end of the cable, so the cable may come loose during use. In terms of flexibility, this one is easily the most flexible cable I've seen on a SteelSeries mouse thus far, which is quite ironic considering this is a wireless mouse. Accordingly, the Aerox 3 Wireless can be used as if it were a wired mouse with barely if any perceivable difference in terms of handling compared to an actually wired mouse. The cable is 1.80 m long.

The charging cable also functions as an extension cable if used in conjunction with the wireless extender. The wireless extender can be used to keep the distance between dongle and mouse as short as possible. Since the mouse itself lacks a storage compartment for the dongle, the extender can also simply be used as something to attach the dongle to, which reduces the likelihood of the dongle being lost when traveling. That having been said, the dongle is huge, so losing it is not as likely.

Feet


The feet on the Aerox 3 Wireless are black-dyed PTFE (Teflon) feet with slightly rounded edges. Glide is decent.
