Our Verdict

Cooler Master MM720

SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless

The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless and the Cooler Master MM720 are both well-performing ultra-light gaming mice but with some differences. The SteelSeries has a more standard ambidextrous shape and supports a wireless connection and multi-device pairing. Its wireless connectivity also means you don't have to deal with cable drag while gaming. On the other hand, the Cooler Master is a wired mouse designed for right-handed use and has a much wider body thanks to its ring finger rest. That said, it has higher-quality feet and lower click latency, but its CPI variation is a bit high.
