Score: 84/100Rankings
The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless is a 68 g ultra-light mouse with a TrueMove Air sensor, 200 hour battery life and IP54 protection. Its holey shell design and lack of ambidextrous ergonomics are notable trade-offs. Ideal for right-handed competitive FPS gamers who value speed and endurance.
The Corsair Sabre V2 Pro Ultralight is a wireless FPS mouse weighing just 36 g, featuring a 33K DPI MARKSMAN S sensor and 8,000 Hz hyper-polling. It lacks RGB lighting and has a mid-tier sensor compared to premium models. Perfect for elite FPS competitors prioritizing minimal weight and low latency.
