SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless - Super Light Gaming Mouse - 18,000 CPI TrueMove Air Optical Sensor - Ultra-Lightweight 68g Water Resistant Design - 200 Hour Battery Life - Onyx / 62612 + FREE DELIVERY !

The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless weighs 68 grams and tracks at up to 18,000 CPI through a TrueMove Air optical sensor, so fast movements register exactly as you make them. A water-resistant design covers spills at the desk, and battery life runs up to 200 hours between charges. Customisable RGB lighting lets you set colours to match the rest of your setup.

The TrueMove Air is a custom True 1-to-1 tracking sensor developed with PixArt for wireless performance, rated at 18,000 CPI, 400 IPS and 40G of acceleration. Those figures are what let the Aerox 3 Wireless keep up with the fastest swipes rather than losing the cursor mid-flick, which is exactly the moment where milliseconds decide the outcome.

At 68 grams the Aerox 3 Wireless sits near the bottom of the weight range for a wireless gaming mouse, which means less mass to start and stop on every wide swipe. Lower inertia translates directly into quicker, more precise reaction times, and it is the difference you feel most in long sessions where fatigue creeps into your aim.

The 68 gram figure comes from three separate pieces of engineering. A perforated holey shell removes 18g while keeping the casing strong, the compact high-performance battery weighs 13g less than a conventional cell, and the circuit board was re-engineered 50% slimmer with durability improved rather than traded away.

Quantum 2.0 Wireless handles the radio link on the Aerox 3 Wireless, moving data at high speed while holding the connection stable and using power efficiently. Efficient transmission is what allows a mouse this light to carry a small battery and still last, because the radio is not draining the cell to stay connected.

The Aerox 3 Wireless is engineered for optimised power consumption and delivers up to 200 hours of use per charge. That is a figure reached without giving up performance or adding weight, so long sessions and multi-day stretches run without you planning around a charge cycle.

Gaming-grade 2.4GHz wireless gives the Aerox 3 Wireless ultra-low latency for flick shots, so cutting the cord costs you nothing at the desk. Bluetooth covers the other half of the job: connect straight to a laptop or another device with no dongle to pack, which is what you want when the mouse leaves the desk.

The AquaBarrier protection system gives the Aerox 3 Wireless an IP54 rating, covering resistance to water, dust, dirt and oil. A perforated shell would normally be the weak point for exactly those things, so the rating matters more here than on a sealed mouse and keeps desk spills and grime out of the internals.

Charging runs over USB Type-C, which brings quick charge speeds and lets you swap in other USB-C cable options to suit your desk. The same port doubles as the wired connection for customising the mouse, so a single reversible connector covers both charging and setup.

The feet are made from 100% pure virgin-grade PTFE, the material that determines how a mouse starts and stops on the pad. SteelSeries tuned these skates for speed on its QcK mousepads, giving smooth swipes with enough control left to stop where you intended rather than sliding past the target.

Every part of the Aerox 3, external and internal, was designed around durability and comfort across extended play. The shape has to hold up when the shell is perforated and the internals are slimmed down, so the ergonomics and the structure were worked out together rather than one being fitted around the other.

Next-generation Golden Micro IP54 switches sit under the main buttons with a lifespan rated for 80 million clicks. They carry the same water and dust resistance as the shell and are built to prevent the double-click failure that ends most gaming mice, which keeps single, deliberate shots registering as one input.

Customisable RGB lighting runs through the Aerox 3 Wireless, so you can set colours that match your own setup rather than living with a fixed scheme. The perforated shell lets that light read through the top of the mouse, and the Aerox 3 family shares the same low-profile silhouette across the range.

The Aerox 3 Wireless uses a low-profile shape designed to work across all grip styles rather than favouring one. Palm, claw and fingertip players all get the same lightweight precision from it, which makes it a safer pick if you have not settled on a grip or you change it depending on the game.
