Essentially, the SteelSeries Aerox 5 is the lightweight version of the Rival 5. Equipped with the TrueMove Air sensor, the right-handed ergonomic Aerox 5 comes with nine programmable buttons in total, yet only weighs 66 g. Rich RGB lighting is on board, too, along with pure PTFE feet and a detachable cable.

If this thing has the rubberized material glued on it anywhere, avoid it. I have had 4 SteelSeries mice now, and I liked them all. But every single one that has had rubberized material adhered to the sides of it, the glue wears down really fast and the pads start to shift around, causing the adhesive to "leak" out of the sides and get everything sticky. I love SteelSeries products, but if you check the user reviews for any mice with these things you find it's a constant issue across all their mice. I picked up the Prime+ or whatever it is that has none of the rubberized material on it, and it's been an amazing mouse minus some issues with the scroll wheel.
