WHEN WE SEE A MOUSE costing $140, it can be difficult not to have incredibly high expectations. It doesn’t help when that mouse comes from a reputable company such as SteelSeries, which already has an arsenal of great peripherals under its belt. So will the SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless prove itself worthy or fail to live up to its lofty asking price?
The first thing we note is the consistently impressive unboxing experience SteelSeries offers. We are greeted by a lightweight braided USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable, a USB Type-C dongle, and a USB Type-C extension adapter, meaning we have plenty of great connectivity options. Of course, the most popular choice with this mouse should be its wireless dongle, but it’s great to have Bluetooth and detachable cable options just in case.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super
LONG AGO, before the reign of the Supers, there was a graphics card. It was bold, gauche, and built with the blood of a Titan, with gaming in mind. Its heart was near identical to the goliath it was born from, yet it lacked the memory, spirit, absolute architectural majesty, and subsequent price tag of its Titanic kin.
