Introducing New Aerox Gaming Mice

Game at speeds you've never experienced before with our new generation of lightweight mice.


SteelSeries is all about empowering gamers. Whether that's by enhancing your audio experience or giving you the tools to excel on any battlefield, our mice help you achieve greater glory. Free yourself from the burden of heavyweight mice and sweep the competition with our new entries in the Aerox family: the Aerox 5(available Wired and Wireless and the Aerox 9.

We've refined just about every aspect of our Aerox line, pushing our engineering to its limits in order to provide a lightweight build without any compromises. The first thing that you'll notice about each mouse (other than its dazzling, customizable 3-zone RGB lighting) is the holey chassis. We managed to reduce the weight by up to 20g, while still maintaining top-notch durability as well as a host of other powerful features. We're introducing three new mice to our Aerox Family, so let's see how they will set you apart from the competition.
