Review: First Impressions are good, but the ergonomics leave a bit to be desired. - I've only had my hands on this mouse for a few hours at this point, so I can't truly speak to how good or bad the battery life is. However, my initial impression is that this mouse more than serves its purpose. Regarding the SteelSeries GG/Engine functionality, I can safely say that the range of customization options, both for RGB and for the actual hardware, are expansive enough to leave even the most finicky of performance tweakers' content. For the accessories, I have a bit of an issue with the USB-C 2.4 GHz dongle. I'm using this mouse on a laptop with a single USB port, and having the dongle in said port effectively blocks me from using the adjacent USB-A port and one of the audio jacks. While using the mouse over Bluetooth is a solution, that does reduce some of the functionality, and felt like it introduced a bit of latency. The extender and braided USB-A to USB-C cable used to connect to the extender AND charge the mouse are pretty high quality and are honestly an expected inclusion for a mouse like this. For actual gameplay usage, the mouse does its job well. My only complaint is that in exchange for the iconic lightweight design the Aerox line offers, I'm making some sacrifices. I primarily purchased this mouse so that I don't have to steal my Logitech G600 from my desktop while using my laptop to play my favorite MMO. But the bulky G600 has a feature I'm having trouble to adapting to the Aerox 9 lacks: The third click button that when pushed in conjunction with the side keys, inputs them with the Control key modifier (1 becomes Ctrl+1, etc.). The reduced weight, better portability, and wireless functionality is a worthwile trade off, I feel, but this may not be the case for you if you are accustomed to having that ease of access in MMOs. Finally, we come to my main sticking point with the Aerox 9. The ergonomics. They are *mostly* flawless... With one glaring issue. When using the side keys, my thumb rests nicely on the second row where they have a nice nub to indicate where you are on the keys. But to reach the *top* row requires me to stretch and slightly rotate my hand in order to get a sure feel for which key I'm pushing and to reliably do so. This can be mitigated somewhat by resting your hand slightly higher up on the mouse, but this also takes away from the good shape of the mouse somewhat. If SteelSeries ever does a refresh on the design, I encourage them to look into bringing the side keys back towards the bottom of the mouse maybe even just two or three millimeters. In the end, I feel like this mouse can give you what you need if you are looking for a wireless MMO mouse, being one of the only ones available from a major, reputable brand that I've found. The mouse's software gives you full range to customize it to your needs, and the lightweight design makes most other MMO mice feel like bricks by comparison. The ergonomics issue can be overcome with adapting how you hold it somewhat, and it trades some functionality for the lightweight design. The dongle's width should be a non-issue for most users, and the accessories included are of a high quality. I do feel like I could safely recommend this mouse to a friend who needs a MMO mouse that has to be wireless, and perhaps even if they're just more accustomed to lightweight, low-profile mice than the monster-sized mice that most MMO mice are. *I may update this review down the line once I've gotten more experience with it.
Review: Do Not Buy - Now this is coming from someone who has used multiple mice for years, and I am a keyboard and mouse enthusiast I would say. I have used many Logitech mice, including the G502, the G600 (discontinued) the G903, and more. I have used the Corsair Scimitar and the Razer Naga as well. Overall all of these mice, were good, you could easily press all of the 12 side mouse buttons without awkward handling angles, accidental clicks and discomfort. Also all of these mice, at least the ones that were wireless (most) and all other wireless mouse brands I have used come with a standard USB 2.4 dongle, the Steel Series Aerox 9 comes with a USB-C, which I do not have on my PC (I know that is my fault, but very inconvenient nonetheless). The Aerox 9 comes with a cable and and extension adapter, which I figured would work as my USB-C to USB adapter but that did not work and ultimately could not get it connected to my PC. I was very excited to add this mouse to my collection, like a kid awaiting Christmas is how I felt waiting for it to arrive. The design and look of this mouse was in my opinion so cool, and have always heard very good things about Steel Series so that is where my excitement came from. Upon unboxing, packaging felt nice, easy instructions; everything felt right and I was now excited to try it. First time picking it up it felt almost weightless and fit into my hand well (my hand size = 2XL glove size), I really enjoyed the initial feel, the skates now these were excellent gliding across my mouse pad in fierce competition with my Logitech G502 Lightspeed. They felt perfect for gaming. Next the adapter and cable mentioned earlier seem like great quality nothing wrong there besides the adapter extension not working as an adapter but I digress. Now lets get into the reason I am retuning this product, for what the mouse is, a 12 side button MMO gaming mouse it just simply is not going to work. The buttons specifically 1 2 & 3 seem impossible to reach, to reach I am finding myself needing to use extremely weird angles, causing misclicks with LMB & RMB, any way I try to hold this thing does not work for the side buttons. So the mouse is literally impractical and functionless unless you only want to use buttons 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9 so only 50%. My wife (hand size = small glove size) gave it a try and it was even worse for her. With all the other options available for an MMO-Style mouse save yourself the trouble and skip this one and pray Gravastar releases a MMO-Style mouse.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will the SteelSeries Aerox 9 Wireless ever be released in white?**
A: Yes. But only when the blue moon rises over oblivion.

**Q: Does it work on macOS?**
A: I bought this mouse to use with my Mac on the basis of this answer and I feel that the manufacturer's answer is misleading. So, let me give a straightforward answer:   ***DO NOT BUY THIS MOUSE TO USE WITH AN M1 MAC****

The Steel Series GG software, which you need to program the $100 + mouse DOES NOT WORK with the M1 macs, so yes, it "works" on a Mac the same way that any $5 USB mouse from the dollar store will. Plug it in and you get two buttons and a wheel.

If you actually want to program it, you'll need to find a 3rd party solution like USB Overdive which will give you some of the functionality you'd expect from an MMO mouse.

**Q: Is the DPI button raised up or indented into the mouse body?**
A: Great questions - it's neither raised up or indented in, but rather sits flush to your finger position on the mouse buttons.

**Q: Does this have a fan for sweaty palms?**
A: No

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by W***N on September 5, 2025*

The SteelSeries Aerox 9 is easily the best MMO mouse I’ve used for World of Warcraft. The side panel with multiple programmable buttons makes managing abilities, macros, and keybinds so much easier—it really improves gameplay and efficiency in raids and PvP. What I love most is how lightweight it feels despite being packed with so many buttons. Long gaming sessions don’t cause hand fatigue, and the ergonomic shape fits comfortably in my hand. The buttons are well-positioned, easy to reach, and have a nice tactile click without being too stiff. The sensor is fast and precise, and the wireless connection is flawless—no lag or drops, even in intense battles. Battery life is excellent, and when I need to charge, it tops up quickly with USB-C. For WoW and other MMOs, this mouse is a game-changer. It combines lightweight comfort, reliable performance, and tons of customization. If you’re serious about WoW, this mouse is worth every penny.
