After 8–9 hours, having tried nearly every popular mouse, they'd strongly recommend the Aerox 3 Wireless as a main: solid build, minor travel, better feet than the Rival 3, a rough grippy coating, and no connection issues.

“As of now which my play testing isnt that much obviously been like 8-9 hours now I would say yes hard recommend to main”

Not the biggest fan of the shape, but they're keeping the Aerox 3 Wireless for its crisp, firm clicks, better than Logitech's.

“the clicks are much better than logitech if you lick crispy hard clicks.”
positive

Their new Aerox 3 Wireless feels great; they get kills and feel as comfortable as on their GPW, with none of the off feeling of bad wireless.

“Hey I got my aerox 3 wireless today and it feels great.”

Their Aerox 3 Wireless only wakes from sleep with a click rather than movement, and the back side button seems slightly pressed in and stiffer than the front.

“my copy only wakes from sleep when I click a button”

A detailed review calls the Aerox 3 Wireless almost a masterpiece: sturdy clicks throughout, but skinny, sharp-ridged side buttons and not-pure-PTFE feet are mild disappointments. Everything else is wonderful.

“Side button shape, and feet quality. These are only mildly disappointing and not deal-breakers for me. Everything else is wonderful.”

Agrees with the review: their Aerox 3 Wireless feels much lighter than their Viper Ultimate, with no mushy or creaky side buttons.

“I just received my Aerox 3, as well, and I concur with this review.”

With aftermarket skates, their Aerox 3 Wireless tracks precisely in Apex and CS, with lift-off distance matching their GPW.

“I am using tiger arc 2 on my Aerox 3 wireless. No tracking issues found when playing Apex and CS.”
positivegreat performance

Their Aerox 3 Wireless had a higher lift-off distance than all their other competitive mice, noticeably bad for them, and they couldn't get on with it.

“LOD was higher than all my other competitive mice on my copy.”
negative

Worried by YouTube reviews, but after playing with the Aerox 3 Wireless they think it's the one for them after the Viper Ultimate and GPW.

“after playing with it for a bit I really think this is the one for me”
positive

After 1.5 years on the GPW, they find the 2022 Aerox 3 Wireless underrated: it fixes the original's bad feet, creaking, mushy buttons and button travel, and is worth it if the shape suits you.

“If you were considering this mouse but decided not to get it due to bad feet, creaking, mushy buttons and pre-/post-travel issues; this 2022 version fixed basically all of those.”

Went through three Aerox 3 Wireless replacements that all broke, the last with a cracking wheel and random scrolling. Their worst experience with any gear.

“I got 3 replacements. All of them got broken so far”

The left click on their new Aerox 3 Wireless started making a metallic sound on day one.

“I got mine today and left click started making metallic sound kinda”
negativequality control issues

Their Aerox 3 Wireless developed connection problems within a year, as did a friend's; it's the only mouse they've had technical issues with.

“I started getting that within a year of using it”
negativeconnection issues

Their 2022 Aerox 3 Wireless has decent battery life once RGB is dimmed and off while moving, but recurring connectivity issues are very frustrating.

“The battery life actually isn’t bad once you set the RGB off when the mouse is moving.”
