Optics and haptics
The ultra-light in the title was not exaggerated, with only 59 grams, the Aerox 3 is really very light. A housing made of ABS plastic with a matte, slightly rough surface and diamond-shaped holes on the top and bottom makes the low weight possible.
However, this also reveals a pitfall of white peripherals: easily visible dirt quickly accumulates. This is lint from my cloth mouse pad within a week around the glide feet. This is also the right keyword, because these glide pads are new on the 2022 version. Previously there were four small pads at the corners, these have now been replaced by two large glide pads.
In the side view, everything has remained the same. Two thumb keys placed on the left side and a “hump”, which is quite far back. On the other hand, the seam between the individual parts is clearly more visible in the white version of the mouse than in the black variant back then.
And we end our tour with the likewise identical front as well as back. So the symmetrical body of the mouse has not changed.
According to the manufacturer Steelseries, the mouse is supposed to be suitable for claw, fingertip and palm grip types. Interestingly, this was different for the predecessor, where the Palmgrip was not yet listed, even though it has an absolutely identical shape. Here are the measurements of my right hand, so that you can understand the following statement a little better yourself:
For me personally, the mouse could have been minimally larger, but it otherwise fit my Palmgrip well. However, a symmetrical shape is of course mostly subject to any mouse that is dedicatedly designed for right- or left-handers in terms of ergonomics.
