SteelSeries Aerox 5 18000 DPI RGB Gaming Mouse 62401

Ultra-Lightweight Right-Handed Gaming Mouse

The SteelSeries Aerox 5 is a new USB gaming mouse built for right-handed players who value speed. Its holey shell reduces mass to 59 g while an IP54-rated AquaBarrier protects the internals from water splashes and dust. A TrueMove Air optical sensor co-developed with PixArt delivers up to 18000 DPI for precise tracking. Nine programmable buttons and a flick switch provide extensive control options for competitive play.

Plug-and-Play Setup with Software Customisation

The mouse connects via a standard USB port and works immediately on a PC without extra drivers. SteelSeries GG software unlocks button remapping, macro creation and 3-zone PrismSync RGB lighting across 16.8 million colours. The 100% PTFE glide skates ensure smooth movement out of the box. The honeycomb shell can collect dust over time, so occasional compressed-air cleaning keeps the sensor and switches performing consistently.

Competitive Players Seeking Minimal Weight

This model suits gamers who prioritise an ultra-light frame, high DPI headroom and extensive side-button layouts for MOBA or MMO titles. The right-handed ergonomics and flick switch favour claw or fingertip grips. Buyers who want a heavier mouse, wireless freedom, an ambidextrous shape or a simpler button count should look at something else.
