Aerox 3 Wireless Gen 2 Review

If you were in the market for a new mouse for your PC setup, I'd like to bring you something new from Steelseries. The Aerox 3 Wireless Gen 2! Retailing at around £100 and available in three colourways, Ghost, Shadow and the one we chose, Magenta Haze. Being fans of bright pink we went for the Magenta Haze colourway of this great mouse.
