Our Verdict

SteelSeries Aerox 3

SteelSeries Aerox 3 (2022)

The SteelSeries Aerox 3 (2022) is an upgraded version of the SteelSeries Aerox 3. They look identical, but the 2022 edition has better quality mouse feet that are larger and extend over the width of the mouse instead of being just four small circles on each corner. Otherwise, they have the same sensor, same high lift-off distance, and nearly identical amounts of click latency. Both mice are advertised as rated at IP54, including all of their components, which is a high rating for a gaming mouse.
