Product details

The SteelSeries Aerox 5 is a wired gaming mouse for right-handers. The high-precision SteelSeries TrueMove Air sensor, offers a max. resolution of 18K DPI.
The tournament mouse also shines with a max. acceleration of 40 G and 400 IPS to reliably process fast mouse movements of low-sensitivity gamers.

The 1,000 Hz afragerate of the SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless ensures fast communication between mouse and processor in a 1-ms interval and a delay-free transmission. As a result, every keystroke is processed in near real time to respond appropriately to any gaming situation.

The Golden Micro IP54 switches, which are designed for at least 80 million clicks, ensure long, trouble-free operation. Thanks to these features, the SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless is particularly suitable for ambitious gamers and professional eSport players.

The upper side of the SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless is manufactured in a stylish honeycomb design. Thanks to this, the mouse becomes a real eye-catcher and achieves its light weight of only 66 g. This design also offers functional advantages: It increases air permeability and thus ensures pleasant cooling of the palm on hot summer days and prevents perspiration.

This also increases the grip of the mouse, whether claw grip or palm grip. Despite the open design, you don't have to worry about moisture, as the mouse is protected against splashing water with IP-54.

The gaming mouse with activated RGB lighting is an unmistakable eye-catcher. This 3-zone lighting is located on the underside of the mouse, below your palm. This way, the RGB lighting will never bother you. The RGB lighting can be configured as desired via the SteelSeries Engine.

The mouse offers a total of nine programmable buttons: two main buttons for right and left click, five thumb buttons, a clickable scroll wheel and a dedicated DPI slider. Excellent glide with minimal friction is provided by the G-Skates.
