thx for detail review!

[@onurcandemirbilek4874]

Hi. I'm using rival 3 wired it is my main. Shape works great for me and i tried lots of mice like xm1,ul2, hati s etc. But i think this shape is golden spot for me. I thought purchaise aerox 2 for lightweight design and cable but it not looks solid as rival 3. Do you recommend me a same shape mouse if you know any exists? I thought roccat burst maybe similar?

[@frankyalvarez7160]

I just picked up my Aerox 3 wireless today and couldn’t be happier, no side play, 66g, mouse pads are phenomenal all compared to my rival 600.

[@emanueldumitru6477]

It can't be any better in terms of build quality at 57g weight, I am pretty sure. They could've replaced the RGB for software saving feature, though.

[@EternalFiresky]

LOL then why is the hyper x pulsefire haste 100% better.

[@darkboi-pq2gg]

thx, love the vids keep it up!!!

[@pharaohk9467]

Honestly best tech reviewer, also the first I actually subscribed to (btw could you do a pulsfire haste vs video? It could be against whatever)

[@TheTechne]

against this? man just go with the haste

[@chrinaldi]

It is Steelseries' first venture to the lightweight gaming mouse. Despite their reputation in gaming mouse before, this one seems like a miss (1 minute mark into the video). That bottom creak and flex is a red flag for me. Thanks for bringing this up. Hopefully, in their next lightweight gaming mice, they can fix the build quality (hoping it would be an upgrade just like MM710 to MM711).

[@TheCheesecakeAngel]

Hey I had the rival 3 and I switched the colors on the software, third time I tried to change it to rainbow but it was stuck on the one color I had chosen

[@ace100hyper3]

Hey, just found your channel. Good reviews and I appreciate your enthusiasm. One thing I would like to see, is if you can measure your hand size, which would help us with mouse comparisons. Rocket Jump Ninja has a method of measuring, and how it relates to grip styles. Judging by your grip style and the mice you choose, I bet it would be around 19.5-20cm by 10cm, which is my hand size, and I prefer palm. Also, considering I have Deathadder Chroma, and I would like it to be a bit bigger, or to have a hump more towards the back, what would you recommend: Mamba wireless or Rival 310 or ZA11? Thanks.

[@TheTechne]

Yeah maybe I will plug it in somewhere, I try not to imitate what other youtubers do

[@MGSRR1279]

I liked this mouse quite a bit, I just want to know if there is a better wire I can buy

[@krue_]

I have a question before I buy the Logitech G305. Will it work for the old logitech software called LGS. The reason why I'm asking this is the Logitech G hub is to complicated and frustrated.

[@throwsnbrews9516]

They did refresh these mice for 2022 that fixes basically all of the issues. Honestly this is my favorite mouse shape.

[@HooksHollands]

Appreciate your thoughts on this SS mouse. I'm not sure if anyone will ever make a better mouse than the Razer Mamba Elite...comfortable for small hands, tilt scroll wheel, and epic RGB. I own three of them (keeping one as a spare, just in case). :)

[@miketython1493]

I got this mouse today. I didn’t know why I didn’t like it, watched this review and you pointed out why. The sensor is at almost the back of the mouse. I’m coming from an Air 58 which is bigger and the sensor is higher up. Also the side buttons really do suck.

[@Ravein]

I got the wireless version and I had no flex and the cable was really soft, but still heavy making the top heavier than the rest when wired but other than that its pretty high quality

[@MultiStadium]

Please review the ducky feather mouse ! Have a great day!

[@schyena6043]

I got my aerox 3 wireless in a couple of days ago and mine doesn't have the 1 and 2 wiggle maybe just your copy maybe the wired version. Can confirm the wireless has the same cable. My mouse does save the settings to the mouse tho. I absolutely love my aerox 3 wireless tho I do think the unboxing experience was a big downgrade from the rival 600 and arctis 5 2019 edition

[@mikeboi7777]

I have bought it and everything thing that you have pointed out for me nothing is wrong the leds do save and the mouse buttons dont wiggle at the top the quality is pretty good also

[@mikeboi7777]

So probably just your copy is bad

[@Dwoalin]

My Aerox 3 wireless’ side button 2 on the back I also notice has this middle ground “half-click” before you actually click the button. Has noticeably more give over the front button and it throws me off to the point I’m considering sending this back fir a Rival 3 :( I had never considered the fact that the back side button sits right on that curve of the mouse on the side.

[@TheTechne]

thank you so very much for the kind words and support

[@nutrientek3243]

I just bought this mouse today. I think they may have improved the overall quality since this video was uploaded. While my mouse does have wiggly LMB and RMB, they don't wiggle unless I'm actually trying to make them wiggle by using my fingernail on the side of them... But I can do that on every mouse on the market. Also, there is no creaking and the cord is very soft and flexible.

[@CaliburOne]

I honestly don’t care about weight when it comes to wireless mouse, 70-90g is good and 70-80 is the sweet spot

[@jortuspelatus7364]

And I'm using a 130+ gram wireless gaming mouse but I'm not really a hardcore gamer soo

[@samuelaguilar2199]

Ye

[@joostwagelaar8837]

I disagree. I modded my 100g g305 to be 69G. A world of difference. And if you would go even lower in weight, you would also see a big jump. I can now do shots that I couldn't do before

[@thelazyduck9370]

I changed from an 85g Zowie to a Rival 3 Wireless 106g.. Honestly the difference in weight doesn't matter at all and hasn't impacted my gaming experience in any way

[@joostwagelaar8837]

@@thelazyduck9370 really? It made a world of a difference for me. Feels like I'm holding air

[@scareyaf]

I know this is review is like 7 months old but I just picked up the Aerox 3 on sale for a great price and while it's a bit creaky pressing it from underneath, I can't activate the side buttons via pressure on the frame. There's also barely any left and right click button movement. Using a mouse bungee also eliminates the stiff cord argument. I think you may have gotten an early production model as my unit has none of the faults you list and is actually very well put together considering the price and weight. Just food for thought for anyone watching this.

[@TheTechne]

yeah I was actually thinking about picking one up again, the main draw back are the tiny side buttons

[@quasigod1083]

The build quality is ready unfortunate. Still gonna get a wireless because if there's any issues I'll just return it, but hopefully the qc is improved. I've seen a couple reviews with a solid copy but it's awful with most.

I did have the aerox 3 and it wasn't my favorite also. I had the same issue with the rgb. I did return it since it could be better.

I have the aerox 3 wireless, the rgb settings wont save and it’s a bigger issue than wired bc it’s eat battery. I was surprised no other reviewer has mentioned anything about this issue.

[@alvinclarencepilot2129]

I used it for about two months and then the connection of the usb port was a bit lost, but to get back to normal, I need to clean the mouse specially on the connector. i try to use a blower to get rid of the dirt inside :(

Big respect for steelseries keyboards and mousepads but I've never been huge on their mice tbh

[@Fatal_Error_Gaming]

@thetechne Yea I too was real disappointed in the Aerox 3 wired version. Was a disappointment from the get go. Scratchy feet, heavy chord, and the fact that it was just the Rival 3 with holes and a detachable chord. Here is where I had the biggest issue with this mouse. Keep in mind I got the mouse on opening day... The mouse was randomly shutting down while I was using it. When I would unplug it and plug it back in it would go right back to working. Happed about 5 or 6 times from the time I started using it. Either way I sent it back for another copy. Being like you, a Steel Series fan, I am willing to give these guys a shot with the second copy just to see if I had a bad copy. It will be here Saturday. Either way even if it gets fixed it isn't worth 59 dollars. It's the Rival 3 for Christs sake. Come on Steel Series. You guys don't have any artists down there that can draw up a good mouse to make? I know you can do better than this. Your fans and customers deserve that. I would expect shouty craftsmanship like this from a low level mouse producer. Even the HK that hasn't been on the market long is better than this mess right now. Anyways Thanks Techne for being the first one to do the wired review and being totally honest with everyone for the review of the mouse and I agree with you 100%. Great video as usual man.
