"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."

"Coming from the Razer viper ultimate at around 74 grams to the X2 Crazylight at 35 is a surreal experience, the mouse is basically as light as a feather to pick up and move it almost seems like it's not even there. ... As a fingertip grip user the feel of using a mouse this light is bar none, it makes it so much easier to pick up and re adjust and just moving it around with your wrist in fine movements it feels much more accurate and controllable."
"After the third run of another 15 miles a few days ago, I was sold and grinning from ear-to-ear afterwards. It's light, fast and propulsive, responsive, stable, nimble, grippy, comfortable, and protective. It pretty much does it all in a very lightweight package."
"it weighs under 350g"

"With the Naga I map the center button on the bottom row to shift. ... And with that I can roll my thumb up, left, or right and get another three keybinds. ... And just having shift there also lets me press that for shift, instead of my left pinky. One less thing for my left hand to do. Makes Shift+4 while moving and jumping easier. ... This gives me ready, instant access to the entire hotbar. And with shift, an entire second hotbar (excepting shift+7 and shift+9)."
"Macros will let that be enough to play even a druid in all forms with every spell being useable. ... And this is without stopping movement to reach and without any annoying left pinky stretch ever being required."
"Only the Naga let's me assign shift to one of the middle row buttons, then easily roll my thumb left and right to get shift4 or shift6 from just my thumb."

"My Timps got holes after 4 weeks of wearing lol ... Forgot exactly where but it was the toe box. ... Never seen running shoes with such a shitty build quality before. ... Altra is definitely skimping on the materials since they were sold a few years ago."
"I beat the ever living shit out of my shoes in the Colorado high country and have had to shoe goo the soles twice in spots so it’s definitely not bomb proof."

"Strongly disagree. Went thru 3 in two years. Some of the more regularly used side buttons just stopped working on each."
"If you're prepared for fighting Steelseries software, saving the keybinds to the on-board memory, disabling Steelseries software entirely, and then controlling the RGB with OpenRGB"

"Scroll wheel was fucked after like 2 months max"

Steelseries Aerox 9 Wireless is really nice, I'd say its for larger hands but very lightweight
r/wow • Best mouse for WoW with side buttons? ->You will not get the best of both worlds depending on what you want from the productivity side. Does your workflow require or utilize more buttons? Do you care about weight when youre playing games? If the answer is yes, you should just get two cheaper seperate mice. Im sure people will give you good gaming specific reccomendations so I wont get into them. I use a lot of keybinds for productivity to accelerate my workflow, and thats only possible with mice that have more than two side buttons, I've found a few that sort of work for both gaming and productivity: - The G502x is a good balance, but its as heavy as a brick which is fine for some games but I find uncomfortable for FPS. - Lightweight MMO mice like the Steelseries Aerox 9 are great if you need the buttons, and its lightweight but its not suitable for a claw grip let alone a fingertip grip. - The razer Naga has variants with swappable side buttons and depending on your hand they may be suitable grip wise, but id sooner drink paint than recommend them with their issues and they are not worth the cost. I can keep listing reccomendations, but you'll find drawbacks and negatives that will significantly degrade your end experience trying to have a one mice fits all solution, you will constantly be trading away things and in my opinion - no options exist that I can say is worth $150 in value. 2x $75 mice will get you very far, especially in todays markets where Chinese mice are on par if not better than mainstream options in many instances. Ive settled on the G502x for work. The side buttons and the index finger buttons are very useful, but more importantly the scroll wheel has a button to switch to a free spinning wheel, and has side tilt buttons - those two things alone make it extremely useful if you utilize them.
r/MouseReview • Mouse Recommendations in 2025? ->The Steel Series Aerox 8 sucks. If you are used to the Naga going to the Aerox 8 feels like a completely different mouse. Your thumb is not perfectly lined up with the numpad and you need either super long thumbs to reach the front row or super short thumbs to efficiently use the back row. After like a month of fiddling with it, i just gave it away and went back to my old Naga until i had enough for a new one.
r/razer • This is what the Razer Naga is capable of ->I have the steelseries aerox 9 wireless and reallllly like it. Cleaning it blows though
r/MMORPG • What is your favourite MMO Mouse? ->If you want the Logitech g600, look up "Logicool g600" on eBay. It's the same mouse, it never got discontinued in Japan, but the name Logitech was taken over there so they had to rebrand for japanese products to Logicool. I tried a Corsair scimitar, Razer Naga, and Steel series Aerox 9 and nome of them held up to the g600 imo
r/wow • What MMO mouse would you Recommend for WoW? ->Title really... I have been using a Steelseries Aerox 9 for the longest time (MMO stuff mostly) and have currently fallen out of love with it. After starting to look around I kinda got sucked back into finding a lighter weight mouse, but it looks like a lot of the lightest weights are due to companies sacrificing battery capacity. Are there any sweet spot recommendations that still give me a much better weight than 80-ish grams but a battery life that lasts longer than like 3 days? I don't buy too much into the 8k (and even 4k) polling rates, I don't mind to run it at 1k and keep stuff like tournament mode etc. off Grip wise I have no clear preference, I am somewhere inbetween palm and fingertip I reckon. Ideally it's also using a web interface for changing settings, I am trying to get rid of bloatware software if possible!
r/MouseReview • Looking for lightweight gaming mouse with long battery life ->Naga and G600 feel pretty interchangeable. Aerox 9 gets hair and stuff stuck inside, especially around the scroll wheel super easily. Corsair stuff always feels cheap. I think G600s are still made for the Japanese market so they're pretty available on ebay.
r/wow • What MMO mouse would you Recommend for WoW? ->I'm using a aerox 9 wireless and it's doing a great job with the extra buttons. I don't think it'll work as nicely if you got big hands.
r/wow • Best mouse for WoW with side buttons? ->why do you want to replace scimitar? I've used it for 4-5 ish years and it was pretty good, considered buying the second one. I'm using Aerox 9 wireless now, because got it cheap and it's wireless, but if I had to, I'd go back to scimitar any time
r/TibiaMMO • Anyone using naga v2 pro? ->I took the Steelseries Aerox 9 and im very happy with it
r/wow • What gaming mouse should I get? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
