Our Verdict

SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless

Corsair SABRE PRO

The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless is better for several uses, but the Corsair SABRE PRO is a better gaming mouse, albeit with a wired-only connection. You can use the SteelSeries wired or wirelessly with the USB receiver or via Bluetooth, and you can wirelessly pair up to two devices. It also has RGB lighting and is suitable for all grip types. However, smaller hands will drape over the front using a palm grip and may not reach the scroll wheel using a fingertip grip. The Corsair has better click latency, a CPI that you can adjust by increments of one, and an 8000Hz maximum polling rate. It also feels sturdier and has a more flexible cable. It's suitable for all grip types, but those with smaller hands may have trouble reaching all buttons using a claw or fingertip grip.
