SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wired Black Gaming Mouse

Ultra-light wired gaming mouse

The SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wired is a right-handed optical mouse weighing 59g with a 66g honeycomb chassis. It connects via a detachable 2m Super Mesh USB-C cable and features a TrueMove Air 18000 DPI sensor co-developed with PixArt. Nine programmable buttons include a unique up/down flick switch on the side panel. IP54 AquaBarrier protection and Golden Micro switches rated for 80 million clicks add durability for daily competitive use.

Competitive players needing many side commands

This mouse suits FPS, MOBA, MMO and battle-royale gamers who want extensive button mapping without leaving the right hand. The flick switch and five side keys give quick access to abilities or macros. Buyers who prefer a solid shell without perforations or who need a wireless connection should look at other models. Left-handed users cannot use this ergonomic shape.

Consistent tracking during long sessions

The TrueMove Air sensor delivers true 1:1 tracking at 400 IPS and 40G acceleration without smoothing or filtering. Golden Micro IP54 switches maintain crisp tactile feedback across millions of actuations in dusty or humid conditions. PTFE glide skates and the flexible Super Mesh cable keep drag low so aim stays stable through marathon matches. PrismSync RGB lighting across three zones does not affect sensor performance.
