Ultra-Lightweight Gaming Mouse

The Aerox 5 is a right-handed optical gaming mouse weighing 66g. Its 9-button layout includes a 5-button side panel and a unique up/down flick switch for rapid command access. The 18000 CPI TrueMove Air sensor delivers 1-to-1 tracking with 400 IPS and 40G acceleration. A USB-C super mesh cable and 100% PTFE glide skates reduce drag for fluid motion.

Wired USB Connectivity and Sensor Efficiency

As a wired USB device, the mouse draws power directly from the port without a separate supply. The optical TrueMove Air sensor operates efficiently during standard gameplay, maintaining consistent tracking without generating noticeable heat. The lightweight 66g shell and low-friction PTFE skates minimise physical resistance, keeping hand fatigue and acoustic output negligible during normal sessions.

Sustained High-Speed Tracking Performance

Under continuous rapid movement, the sensor sustains its 400 IPS maximum tracking speed and 40G acceleration rating without loss of precision. The 18000 CPI resolution remains stable across extended swipes, and tilt tracking compensates for angle variance during long sessions. The durable super mesh cable and PTFE feet maintain their low-drag characteristics, ensuring consistent glide and click response over prolonged competitive use.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Aerox 5 62401 and what step is often missed?

Plug the USB-C super mesh cable into a USB port; the step people miss is removing the protective film from the 100% PTFE glide skates before first use.

What maintenance or replacement will the Aerox 5 62401 need later?

The PTFE glide skates wear down over time and should be replaced when they no longer glide smoothly.

What limit appears first during sustained use of the Aerox 5 62401?

The TrueMove Air sensor reaches its maximum 400 IPS tracking speed or 40G acceleration limit before any other constraint.
