So, to compete with other gaming peripheral-makers in this thriving market, Steelseries recently unveiled its new line of mice that comes with an IP54 rating and many other awesome features.

Dubbed as the “Aerox 3”, the Denmark-based company’s new mouse comes in two variants – wired and wireless. Andboth these variants come in the same honey-comb designthrough which you could see the internal hardware of the mice.

We have seen this design become popular amongst gaming mice-lovers in recent times. TheZephyr gaming mousethat comes with a built-in fan also has a similar design. Moreover, this is the first Steelseries mouse with this design and weighs only 66g.

The Aerox 3 mice are alsothe world’s first gaming mice with an IP54 rating. This “Aquabarrier Protection”, according to the company, will protect the mice from water, oil, dust, dirt, and fur, even though these have so many holes.

Now, except for the design and the IP54 rating, there are many differences between the wireless and the wired version of the Aerox 3. For starters, the Aerox 3 wireless isthe first Steelseries mouse to feature a USB-C port for recharging. The company claims that the mouse can run for 200 hours on a single charge. It comes with a USB-C wireless adapter and a braided USB-C cable.

The sensors, in both the mouse, are also different. The wired version of the Aerox 3 comes with the company’sTruMove Core sensor, which provides“true 1-to-1 tracking in a lightweight sensor design”. On the other hand, the wireless version comes with theTruMove Air sensor, which was exclusively developed with the world’s leading sensor manufacturer to deliver precise wireless tracking with minimal latency.
