This is a bummer, since the average premium for a wireless mouse is still only around fifty bucks across the rest of the market.

Our honeycomb shell reduces weight by up to 20g while maintaining strength and durability for the most intense gaming sessions. It's the wireless version of the SteelSeries Aerox 5 and shares the same shape as the similar but much heavier SteelSeries Rival 5. Two regular side buttons and one vertical switch button are positioned where the thumb sits on the left-hand side.

That’s supposed to be a boon, letting you move it about to whatever position you’d like and find a sweet spot that minimises latency. This allows for easier movement, less fatigue, and a nice low number for bragging rights to put on the box.

Use a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol to gently clean the surface of your mouse, taking care not to damage the coating. While there is, of course, some latency, it's so small as to be irrelevant to anyone but the pro gamers that, frankly, never would've considered a mouse this heavy, to begin with.
