Aerox 9 Wireless

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.

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.

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!

Hopefully their mmo mouse is a banger. I've tried the nagas, aerox 9, evga x15 and most mmo mice over the years, but there hasn't been much innovation in the mmo mice department, especially in terms of reducing weight while keeping similar form factors / button counts :(

I've been using the G600 since it came out and I think I may have gotten too used to it for my own good now that it's been discontinued. I recently bought a Steelseries Aerox 9 to use with my Steam Deck in desktop mode when I'm away from home and although it's a great mouse, I just can't get used to not having the ring finger click to have an extra 12 buttons effectively. I don't mind if the mouse isn't wireless, but I can't seem to find a single mouse that has this feature and side buttons other than the G600. Is the G600 really the only mouse out there that capitalized on this idea? Seems like it should be standard for every MMO mouse that's not trying to be small and lightweight because having an extra 12 buttons without physically adding 12 more buttons is amazing.

They're going for like $200 now, that's why I settled for the Aerox 9. :( I would've years ago but I incorrectly assumed that Logitech would eventually release a successor or someone else would copy the G600.

Why use a mouse at all when you can just enable the virtual mouse setting and learn to use your keyboard for everything? No need for snark, everyone is allowed to have preferences for comfort and ease of use. I have giant hands so it hurts my pinky finger to hit the control key with my other fingers on WASD, it also is much quicker to click with my ring finger than press the control key since my ring finger is always resting on it.

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

Have the Aerox 9, works phenomenally well. I used to use the Naga series from Razer but they’ve all had some issues a year in. The Aerox I’ve had a year so far and no issues, use it daily

You actually taught me something, this mouse wheel does tilt side to side! There’s software called Steelseries GG, and I had no idea it could do it till I tried after reading your comment. Yeah, they’re customizable, I’m not certain the default does anything for me but I could probably set it in games like any other button. Maybe scrolling sideways in browser?
