Better in my opinion. **Q: I have an aerox 3 wireless how does this compare to that is it worth the upgrade or is it a downgrade?** A: Only difference is it has more buttons than the aerox 3 and less than the aerox 9. **Q: Is the dpi button easier to reach than the rival 600 was?** A: I’ve always forced my mouse to use only one dpi setting at 800. Depends on your hand I guess. For me I feel like my index finger has to struggle a little bit to have to push it which is why I never bothered. ## Frequently Bought Together - SteelSeries Aerox 5 - Holey RGB Gaming Mouse - Ultra-lightweight Water Resistant Design - 18K DPI TrueMove Air Optical Sensor - SteelSeries Apex Pro HyperMagnetic Gaming Keyboard — Adjustable Actuation — OLED Screen — RGB – USB Passthrough​ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/436866831-steelseries-aerox-5-holey-rgb-gaming-mouse-ultra-lightweight-water](https://www.desertcart.us/products/436866831-steelseries-aerox-5-holey-rgb-gaming-mouse-ultra-lightweight-water) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
