Missing accessibility feature

This is a great mouse. It operates very well and is very light. All of the buttons are very responsive and satisfying. However, there is one missing feature that was very disappointing to me.
There is no way (at least within the steelseries software) to create a DPI toggle that switches when a button is pressed, and again when released. I have very shaky hands, and this is a feature that has helped me immensely with mice I've had in the past. I assumed I would have the option, but when I looked in the software, it specifically blocks the option to switch on hold and release, ONLY with the dpi toggle bind. It's very obnoxious to have to press once to switch, and again to switch back.

Well-built but ultra-lightweight

The Aerox 5 Wireless delivers solid build quality with no creaking or flexing during use. The wireless connection was reliable, and the overall construction feels premium.
However, the ultra-lightweight design was ultimately too light for my personal preference - I found myself overshooting movements and missing the substantial feel I'm used to in a gaming mouse. That said, this could be exactly what many gamers are looking for, especially those who prefer fast, effortless movements for competitive FPS gaming.
If you're specifically seeking an extremely lightweight wireless gaming mouse with good build quality, this could be perfect for you.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good feel and built quality

It feels very well and precise. The buttons are quite responsive to clicking. I would add 1 or 2 buttons to have an intermediate option between this and the million-button Aero 9

Good mice with great feel

The mouse feels great in hand and responds well to all actions. The only downside I’ve noticed is the transmitter signal, it’s a bit weak. I have to use the USB ports on the front/top of my PC for it to work reliably. Once that was sorted, the mouse has been excellent.

Good gaming/general mouse

It's a very good product, but unfortunately it takes a few seconds to wake up from sleep mode. And every now and then it disconnects and needs to be restarted to recover.

This mouse has super light weight. Precise position, very good sensors. And comfortable designed. Even during hot summery hand does not sweat as with standard mouses. The battery lasts for a long time.
