Key Features & Benefits

• React Faster with 4K Wireless Performance – Up to 4,000Hz wireless polling updates your mouse position four times as frequently as a standard 1,000Hz connection, reducing the interval between movement updates to as little as 0.25ms for smoother, more immediate hand-to-screen tracking.
• Aim with High-Precision 26K Tracking – The upgraded TrueMove 26K optical sensor provides up to 26,000 DPI, 400 IPS tracking speed and 40G acceleration, giving competitive players accurate one-to-one tracking from fine micro-adjustments to aggressive flick shots.
• Move with Less Effort at Just 68g – The ultra-lightweight 68g construction reduces resistance during rapid movements, making repeated swipes and fast repositioning easier during competitive FPS and action games.
• Play for Longer Between Charges – Battery life reaches up to 200 hours using Bluetooth or up to 120 hours over 2.4GHz wireless, helping minimise interruptions during long gaming sessions and everyday use. Battery endurance varies with polling rate, lighting and usage settings.
• Switch Between Gaming and Everyday Devices Easily – Use the low-latency 2.4GHz wireless connection for gaming or switch to Bluetooth 5.0 when connecting to compatible laptops and other Bluetooth devices.
• Built to Survive Millions of Competitive Clicks – Mechanical switches are rated for up to 80 million clicks, helping maintain consistent actuation through years of intense gaming.
• Protect Your Mouse from Everyday Gaming Hazards – AquaBarrier technology with IP54 protection helps defend internal components against dust, sweat and splashes, adding practical protection to the lightweight perforated shell.
• Glide More Freely During Fast Aim Adjustments – 100% PTFE mouse feet are designed to reduce drag, supporting smoother movements and faster repositioning across suitable gaming surfaces.
• Put Essential Commands Under Your Fingers – Six programmable buttons can be configured for weapon changes, abilities, utility commands, macros and other frequently used functions through SteelSeries software.
• Reduce Cursor Movement When Repositioning – Adjustable lift-off distance can be set as low as approximately 1mm, helping minimise unwanted cursor movement when lifting and repositioning the mouse during low-sensitivity gameplay.
• Fine-Tune Your Aim Instead of Guessing – SteelSeries' updated sensitivity tools help match sensitivity between games, while advanced software controls include independent X/Y DPI adjustment, angle rotation and other tuning options.
• Avoid Accidental Scroll Inputs During Intense Play – Scroll Jump Protection can ignore an initial unwanted scroll movement, helping prevent accidental actions in games where the wheel is assigned to jumping or weapon selection.
• Personalise Your Gaming Setup – The translucent Shadow chassis features three-zone RGB lighting, allowing the mouse to add customisable illumination to a coordinated gaming desk setup.
• Keep Your Preferred Settings Available – Built-in onboard memory allows supported mouse settings to be retained without requiring complete reconfiguration every time you move between compatible systems.

Why Choose This Product

The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless Gen 2 focuses on the things that genuinely matter when every movement counts: low weight, high polling speed, precise tracking and low click latency.

At only 68g, it feels significantly less cumbersome during repeated movements, while the jump to 4K wireless polling gives competitive players much more frequent tracking updates than a conventional 1K mouse. Combined with the TrueMove 26K sensor, adjustable lift-off distance and SteelSeries' expanded aiming tools, it provides plenty of scope to tailor the mouse around your preferred sensitivity and playing style.

It is also designed for life beyond a single match. Up to 200 hours of Bluetooth battery life, 80-million-click switches, IP54 AquaBarrier protection and both wireless and wired connectivity create a mouse that can comfortably serve as your main gaming and everyday pointing device.

For players moving from an entry-level gaming mouse towards a faster competitive setup, the Aerox 3 Wireless Gen 2 offers a strong combination of speed, precision, durability and wireless freedom without introducing unnecessary bulk.
