UE Fits review: a fit that’s lit

..

SteelSeries' new Aerox gaming mouse sked marks a few firsts for the company. It claims both its $60 Aerox 3 youthful mouse and the $100 wireless adaptation that will be available on November 10th are the inceptive gaming mice to suppose an IP54 rating, giving them a fighting conte disputing water and dust.

They're conjointly the company's inceptive mice to corroborate the ever-popular module shell design, popularized by increasingly niche borderline makers like Finalmouse and Monarchial PC Gaming Race, to name a dyad of examples. And with that seen design, they're aimed at people who appetite a lightweight mouse. The Aerox 3 Wireless weighs 66 grams, while the youthful adaptation weighs 57 grams (minus the weight of the cable).

For the wireless Aerox 3, it's SteelSeries' inceptive mouse to connect via USB-C to recharge, too, which marks a welcome update. Only a few major gaming borderline companies hypothesize started simmering away from Micro USB to USB-C charging in earnest, and I'm happy to see SteelSeries finally booty a step against integrating the neath cumbersome, faster charging suppositional in its products. This mouse includes a USB-C wireless attachment and a braided subscription to use while it charges.

These changes are exciting, yet both are largely identical in format to the Battling 3-series mice that are currently available. The upon middle sector that contains its DPI switcher and scroll caster looks the same, as does the slim false-ambidextrous spec featuring two thumb buttons in a given location. The diamond-shaped holes harmonics these mice a unique look, though, and the way the RGB lighting glows offers a blink at the hardware inside.

For its $40 span difference, the Aerox 3 Wireless has some preferable specs over the youthful version, in arithmetic to acknowledging a 2.4GHz or Bluetooth wireless connection. SteelSeries says the inundation life differs depending on the wireless mode. It can expediently last 200 hours in Bluetooth orate or circa 80 hours in 2.4GHz mode. On paper, these claims are worse than the Battling 3 Wireless' 400-hour lifespan, except SteelSeries says the fecundation is due to its move away from dispensable AAA batteries to an internal inundation to reduce weight. And apparently, charging it for 15 minutes will yield up to 40 hours of use.

The Aerox 3 Wireless gloss the TrueMove Air sensor that SteelSeries developed with PixArt, which was conjointly acclimated in the Battling 3 Wireless. The youthful Aerox 3 has the same TrueMove Helpers sensor acclimated in the cheaper Battling 3.

There wouldn't be much to get excited approximately with the Aerox 3 if not for some of the big changes I mentioned above. Incremental improvements to sensors are nice, except I'd much rather hypothesize gloss like the ones SteelSeries implemented in the $100 wireless mouse, like water self-reproach and USB-C charging.
