Our Verdict
Cooler Master MM720
SteelSeries Aerox 3
The Cooler Master MM720 and the SteelSeries Aerox 3 are similar wired mice with a lightweight honeycomb body and a standard right-handed button layout. The Cooler Master is much lighter, and its ergonomic shape is more comfortable, but it might not be to everyone's liking, in which case, the SteelSeries' ambidextrous shape might be a better choice. The Cooler Master's cable and feet are of higher quality, and its sensor has a wide CPI range and lower lift-off distance. The SteelSeries has a better build quality and is fully compatible with macOS, which the Cooler Master isn't.
