Quite recently, the Aerox mice family from SteelSeries just got bigger with no less than three new additions: Aerox 5, Aerox 5 Wireless but also the Aerox 9 Wireless models. These models are oriented towards low weight, while offering top-notch performance and enough buttons for most gaming activities and not only! The Aerox 5 Wireless is noted as the lightest multi-genre mouse on the planet, weighting just about 74g, while providing up to 180 hours of usage from a single charge! What is more interesting is the fact that this mouse is equipped with fast charge technology, so we can expect up to 40 hours of use after charging the mouse for just about 15 minutes.

The product is shipped inside a compact cardboard enclosure which shows the mouse in operation, but also highlights a previous award which SteelSeries has got from another publication, PC Gamer:

The top area presents itself with a handle, but also mentions that “Pros have won more prize money with SteelSeries than any other brand”:

The bottom area notes the product serial numbers, the manufacturing date, the power rating and more!

The cable is fully braided for additional durability and very flexible (paracord):
