Our Verdict
HK Gaming Mira-M
SteelSeries Aerox 3
The SteelSeries Aerox 3 and the HK Gaming Mira-M are both excellent lightweight gaming mice. The SteelSeries is marginally lighter and has a lower click latency. It also has customization software compatible with Windows and macOS, while the HK Gaming software is only compatible with Windows. The HK Gaming feels sturdier, it has a more flexible cable, and its mouse feet glide more smoothly. It also has a wider CPI range and a lower lift-off distance. Both mice are well-suited for all grip types and most hand sizes, but the HK Gaming is more accommodating for more hand sizes.
