    I was an XM1 main and this mouse is actually very similar to it, I actually prefer the Aerox shape for aim. I was sleeping on this mouse because of the bad reviews but after trying every high end light weight wireless mouse I was willing to give it a shot. Man this mouse is top tier! Never been happier with a mouse.

    i just bought the ghost edition today, it was really an upgrade to me from the old one. yes, they do glide best, the cosmetic absolutely unbeatable, build quality really improved because no creaks on my copy and lastly, they put a new and better switch on button which you can access it effortlessly. i mean the switch is more out than the old one. worth my money even i just used the old one about 3 and half months now. nice and honest review which really got myself the confident to buy the latest version!!!

    I wish steelseries would release an MMO mouse. After using one of those for years it was incredibly convenient to program those buttons for various actions (back, forward, cut, paste, etc.) and then in even fps gaming since my thumb is right there, hitting 1 for reload, 2 for grenade, 4 for action (like knifing or opening doors etc)...really does make things faster for me then moving my fingers across the keyboard.

  • @vscko5634
    @vscko5634 2 года назад +9

    After adding core pads I didn’t mind the feet really on the first version wireless, I just didn’t like sensor positioning & side buttons imo, not a bad mouse though at all and it’s nice seeing them try to redeem it. Also a more mid or slightly forward sensor position will help with micro adjustments easier on lower sense. Maybe I may just think that because that’s what I’m used to and it feels weird to change, really throws me off trying to use the mouse.

    I have the 2022 version of the wired and I really like it and it appears as if it's the same as this wireless one. I also agree with the feet being a little scratchy but other than that, I love the thing. I actually like the sensor placement. If I'm ADS'ing and my target is strafing, I can follow with small movements simply by turning my wrist. I can do this a lot easier and more accurately than by moving my whole arm/hand. For my preference this works better. All in all I think it's a great mouse and I'm loving it.

    @matthieuzglurg6015 2 года назад

    just a little note about the original Aerox 3 : the wired version was dogshit : the sensor wasn't right (LOD issue, mostly and some DPI drift), and USB C port had nothing to do on a wired mouse and added bulk to it, lastly, the Aerox 3 was intended to be wireless, and on the wireless version, the battery plays a significant role on the overall rigidity of the mouse. I got a wireless one, no creeking, no flex, nothing. Also, the sensor on the wireless is like a top tier one, on par with one on GPro superlights and stuff, not the cheap one presont on the wired version. My copy fees exactly the same as the one you showcased in your video, and mine is one of the very early models, I bought it on day one or thereabouts
    Only issue, the feets, but a corepads kit that cost me 8€ solved the problem, so I guess no biggie.
    I'm glad they changed the feet though, I'm considering switching to the new model and use my current one as kind of a backup mouse to use with my laptop. I only wished the USB dongle wasn't this huge and that we had some space to store it in the mouse somewhere, but hey you can't have it all

    The dimensions at 0:43 could use some additional labeling.
    It may not be apparent that those are milimeters and more importantly, the listed length and width are at the longest and widest points, while the height value is taken from the lowest point at the tip of the buttons. The measurement to be displayed should've probably been the hump at 37.98mm.

    Why get this when you can get a Razer orochi V2. 60$ then add 25-30$ for a set of 4 pale blue lightweight rechargeable lithium batteries (AAA), and 5$ for AAA to AA adapter and you are set. 5 to 10$ cheaper than an Aerox 3 with better sensor placement and wireless tech, lower click latency, no holes and just 4 grams heavier at most

    • @DJHarmonics
      @DJHarmonics 2 года назад

      The shape of the Aerox will be better for a lot of people. The Orochi V2 is a really small mouse that is really only good for finger tip grip unless you have very small hands.
      And a forward sensor is not objectively better, it is only beneficial for more movement with rist rotations. I actually prefer the sensor further back in the mouse because it allows me to have more consistent aim with arm swipes (I use a lower edpi).
