The right plan
While some manufacturers embarked on the race for DPImany brands gaming today seem to be turning to weight hunting in order to offer ever more mice light and efficient. This is the case of the Steelseries Aerox 3 Wireless.
With its featherweight of only 68 gramsthe steelseries gaming mouse has serious advantages to show. This weight is greatly helped by its compact design, resting on a shell like Honeycomballowing both to save weight and to offer a mouse that is pleasant to hold and ventilated, to limit sweating. Steelseries did not stop its design on ergonomics and comfort but offers a robust mouse Aquabarrier, IP54 certified, against splashing water and dust. Do not panic, she is not afraid of small everyday accidents. Its mechanical switches are designed to withstand up to 80 million clicks.
On the performance side, Steelseries puts the package to equip its wireless gaming mouse. We find at the heart of this field mouse, a 18,000 DPI TrueMove Air sensor that no player on Earth can fault. The wireless connection is entrusted to the technology Quantum 2.0 to provide a stable, latency-free link. For office automation needs, this mouse can also be used as a Bluetooth and in wired by means of USB-C cable also allowing the fast charging. Particularity for a wireless mouse so light,Aerox 3 Wireless is equipped with a RGB lighting for more customization.
Right now, this mouse initially launched at the price of €109.99 take advantage of a huge promotion at Amazonwhich changes it to only €49.99a record for a wireless mouse of this caliber.
What alternative?
We told you about it, Logitech G Pro X is a model of its kind. This wireless field mouse banking on its record lightness, announced at 63 grams, to appeal to competitive players. In its hunt for excess grams, the Logitech gaming mouse drops some features likeRGB lighting or the dual Bluetooth/2.4 GHz connection. Details that probably do not affect the majority of gamers but which can be important depending on the needs. His 25,600 DPI Hero sensor is comparable in terms of velocity and precision to the TrueMove Air of the’Aerox 3 Wireless while the autonomy announced at 70 hours is well below 200 hours claimed by Steelseries. She can, however, count on the PowerPlay wireless charging to play without interruption.
Put end to end, the small lacks of the Logitech G Pro X Superlight as’RGB lighting or the absence of a dual wireless connection hardly justifies the 5 grams difference. Especially that the Logitech G Pro X Superlight is much more expensive, announced at €149.99 and currently available at €109.99. If you need theRGB lighting and some bluetooth connection or you have a limited budget, the Steelseries Aerox 3 Wireless is the best choice. Otherwise, the G Pro X Superlight will bring you complete satisfaction.
