Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Wireless battery feels like it lasts forever. The dongle is usb-c. The mouse comes with a usb-c to usb-a cable.

The vibrant colors and effects create an immersive experience. Don't let my headline confuse you, i love this mouse! The um. I wish they had included one with the mouse.

Gg engine allows you to customize various aspects of the mouse. The app is very straight forward to configure the mouse and speed scenarios. Tinkering with the engine settings in the gg app is a must to get your cpi settings right. The extensive custo... Read More

Cons

It's battery lasted a measly 10 hrs. There is no way to turn off rgb when the software is not running. The quality for the price isn't up to par.

Amazon won't send a replacement until you destroy the mouse. There is nothing on the website for troubleshooting. I expect amazon to lie to another purchaser once i return it.

Steelseries mouse is basically unusable. Cut out design is * and dangerous if you're not careful with liquids. The mouse feet are hands down the worst i’ve encountered in years and would need replaced with third party feet right away as they literally... Read More

Price is steep, but if you get it on sale, it is absolutely worth it.

I got it during a sale and it has been my main mouse for gaming.

Competitiveness

I moved up from aerox 3 and it was the best decision.

My only issue is that the battery life doesn't seem to match the 180+ hour that was marketed, though even the marketing is inconsistent.
